The Essence of Enlightenment
Sundance Burke
Free Spirit
A Guide to Enlightened Being
"Awakening is waking up from the daytime dream and realizing that who you thought you were is not limited to thought, emotion or form. Beyond the imaginary seeker; beyond concepts and beliefs, there is a field of innocence and purity. We are this deep peace and sacredness, which is absolute and beyond all intellectual understanding. I invite you to recognize this precious Essence of Being and to directly realize the illusion of all psychological suffering due to misidentification, misperception of separation, and attachment to conditioned thought."

Advaita Satsangs, Satsang Intensives, Private Appointments
Bharangi of The Rising Sun and Paul Evans of Toronto Nonduality Group
You are invited to experience a profound awakening with authors and satsang teachers, Katie Davis and Sundance Burke. Experience the direct power, stillness and inspiration of their teachings as they guide you to explore our true essence of being and to realize the new state of consciousness that is presently emerging on this planet. During this meeting in stillness, you will enjoy talks, practices, and have an opportunity to ask questions and share.
"Our essential Presence does not need to be understood any more than the smile of a child, the beauty of a flower, or the splendor of a sunset. The nature of such encounters is self-evident and the intellect does not serve to enhance such moments. In fact, if you bring thinking to a sunset, you are likely to miss its sacredness and beauty altogether. Without thinking, you are taken in. With thinking, you are seeking entrance." ~ Sundance Burke, Author, Free Spirit
About Sundance Burke and Awakening
Formerly from Seattle, Washington, Sundance Burke offers non-dual Advaita satsang on the West Coast, the Southwest, the Midwest, and Hawaii in the United States, Canada and Australia or wherever invited. He is a graduate of the University of Washington and the Gonzaga School of Law. In 1982, Sundance encountered unexpected events and experience that propelled his life into a search for the answer to the final question, "Who am I?" After many years of futile search, Sundance suddenly disappeared in the absence of a truthful answer. What now remains is what timelessly is: Awareness Being. This Being is dedicated to serving the profound truth of who you are now and always.
