Awakening Made Simple

Awakening Made Simple

With Jac O'Keeffe  •  May 25–Jun 15, 2018

A 4-part webinar series

Jac’s SAND webinar series deeply explores four topics that mark critical points on the path.

Knowledge, understanding and direct experience are offered in each subject area. Each week builds on the last and you may have some homework to complete between each online gathering. The four topics are: presence and the present, control, emotional intelligence and love.

The first three topics were selected for this program because they represent the subject matter of most frequently asked questions at satsang meetings. The fourth, love, can be used as a hiding place for the ego and thus a deeper understanding of the role of love cannot be ignored. By the end of the series, you will have a better understanding of what obstacles are on your path and how you can work to remove them. You may also find that what lies deeper than thought is brought to the forefront and is made available as your direct and immediate experience.

Jac O'Keeffe

Jac O’Keeffe experienced a spontaneous, inner awakening in 1997. Her third eye opened, and her life dramatically changed course. She left a successful career pioneering community arts policy at the national level in Ireland to begin a substantial, healing practice, which progressed into residential retreats that explored the spiritual causes underpinning clinical depression. In 2003, she closed her practice, left her Western lifestyle, and eventually moved to India. Intense spiritual practice led to a two year period without thoughts. Spiritual wisdom developed, and Jac now guides others in her teachings and publications to transcend dual and non dual perspectives, and prepares spiritual teachers for liberation. www.jac-okeeffe.com
