'Psychology of Enlightenment' Discussion Group
First WEDNESDAYS of each month: 8:00am-9:30am PST | 2026 meetings: Mar 4; Apr 1; May 6; Jun 3; Jul 1; Aug 5; Sep 2; Oct 7; Nov 4; Dec 2
No Matter What Your Background—Whether You Are Religious, Spiritual, or Even Atheist—You Can Discover Enlightenment.
Who is this for?
Meetings are open to anyone, regardless of their spiritual, educational, or cultural background. Many people in this group had spontaneous awakenings with zero spiritual background or training.
How are these meetings different than other sanghas or satsang meetings?
These meetings are secular (not affiliated with any religion or spiritual approach). Here, we focus on psychological processes happening in the present moment (concepts, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, social experiences, and sensations) related to awakening and enlightenment.
Is this right for me?
Prior to joining, you may want to read some of my free book, The Four Stages of Enlightenment (Download it free HERE). If this information feels like a good fit for you, then please join. If the book doesn't resonate with you, then this meeting probably won't be a good fit.
This is for you if you want to
✅ Integrate direct awakening experiences (shifts, openings, and insights)
✅ Stabilization in present-moment reality, not validation of past or future
✅ Ground awakening insights in daily human living (outside meditation)
✅ Move beyond concepts and interpretations that keep you stuck
✅ Strengthen witness consciousness without getting lost in mental structures
What This Isn't
❌ Discussing your personal history, thoughts, or beliefs
❌ Figuring out "why" things happened or what it all means
❌ Learning new practices or doing personal shadow work
❌ Getting answers to help you solve problems
❌ Talking **about** spiritual concepts rather than your direct experience
How many people will join the meeting?
This group is still small. You can sometimes chat with Tchiki 1-on-1. Other times, a few people will attend at the same time.
What are the meetings like?
This meeting is a discussion based on your present moment experiences. Discussions are driven by whatever is happening for you NOW. We do our best not to get caught in past stories, future worries, questions about right actions, or current identities and instead look to what's happening right now in the mind or body.
What this meeting is not:
This meeting is neither a standard spiritual lecture or Q&A session. At deep stages of awakening, there are no more answers, and the Q&A format falls apart as a teaching tool.
How does it work?
As you are sharing your experiences, we often enter a state of shared embodiment where your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations are invited to be themselves without judgment, labels, or conceptualization. I am seeing the unmanifested potential behind your experience—the raw energy before it gets labeled or conceptualized. This gently invites the experience to flip "inside out" or express itself differently.
People report that this often feels like a sense of calm, neutrality, stability, clarity, acceptance, or groundedness.
What is the cost?
These meetings are free.
Are meetings made public?
Possibly. These meetings may be recorded and may be published on our YouTube page. Please schedule a 1-on-1 session if you would like to chat privately.
What to expect
As I continue on my own journey, the format of the meeting may change or evolve to accommodate increased clarity.

Trigger Warning
Note from Tchiki: I tend to be warm and compassionate, but I am also honest and direct. This approach can be very potent, which is a good thing if you’re ready to awaken and move through the four stages of enlightenment. However, it can also sometimes result in disorienting, destabilizing, and upsetting experiences. If you feel distressed, please get professional support from a therapist, counselor, or Internal Family Systems practitioner.
