Psychology of Enlightenment | Nonduality 'Deep Listening' Group

First WEDNESDAYS of each month: 9:00am-10:30am PT  |  Meetings: Oct 7; Nov 4; Dec 2; Jan 6; Feb 3; Mar 3; Apr 7

➤ Join The Video Chat: Hosted by Tchiki

​✓  I'll begin by asking the group to share responses to the question: What is one belief, thought, emotion, or bodily sensation that is present for you now?
✓ One person shares at a time until they feel complete (please allow each person to speak without interruption).
✓ For each person, I listen without agenda, gently inviting the experience to express itself genuinely and pointing towards deeper exploration of the everythingness/nothingness within it. ​

If you look deeply enough into anything, you'll find there is nothing there.

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. Spiritual background or training is irrelevant for this group. Spiritual beliefs tend to be a hindrance rather than a helper.

What happens in these meetings?
We go around the group, giving each person as much time as they need to share their present moment experiences (usually people focus on feeling emotions and sensations or deconstructing beliefs and thoughts). This anchoring in the moment, physical body, and embodied experience (rather than being in thoughts, beliefs, and concepts) can serve as a calming, stable foundation, allowing for greater clarity, emotional release, and deeper insight into the nature of reality.

How does it work?
Your emotions and physical sensations are simply energetic expressions of All That Is. They are not right or wrong, good or bad, true or untrue. Together, we invite these experiences to be themselves without judgment, labels, or conceptualization. This witnessing & allowing gently invites the experience to flip "inside out", deconstruct itself, or express itself differently.

About your host (Tchiki)
I don't interact with (and rarely even point out) the stories your mind tells. Rather, I am looking for cracks where I can reach the energies/emotions underneath the story. If you can allow your present moment experiences to express their fullness, then I can meet them there and give them permission to realize their simultaneous emptiness.
​
➟​ People often report that this feels like a sense of calm, neutrality, stability, clarity, acceptance, release, or groundedness. 
➟​ Because this is highly energetic work, I only offer this meeting once per month.
➟​ Everyone in the group plays a part, offering a supportive and safe place for emotions and beliefs to resolve themselves.

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 hold space for the exploration and expression of psychological processes happening in the present moment. We aim to see all beliefs and concepts for what they are, real and unreal. 

Is this right for me?
This may be for you if you want to:
✅ Strengthen awareness and self-insight by looking more deeply into yourself
✅ Integrate direct awakening experiences (shifts, openings, and insights) by talking them out
✅ Identify stuck beliefs, concepts, and patterns in your present-moment experience by exploring them directly
✅ Deepen awakening by questioning what appears to be true
✅ Move beyond spiritual interpretations into embodied awakening and deeper layers of nonduality

What This Isn't:
❌ Not a Q&A session about what awakening or enlightenment is
❌ Not discussing your personal history, stories, identity, past, or future
❌ Not figuring out "why" things happened or what it all means
❌ Not getting advice or coaching on what to do next
❌ Not talking **about** spiritual concepts or spiritual beliefs
​
How many people will join the meeting?
Lately, we've had about 5-10 people per meeting.

What are the meetings like?
This meeting is a discussion based on your present moment experiences. Each person is given ample time to feel into and explore their experience while I hold a space of calm acceptance and offer responses whenever they arise.

​If someone gets caught in stories about the past, worries about the future, questions about right actions, or belief structures, I try to gently guide them back to the present moment, but this isn't always possible or appropriate.

What is the cost?
These meetings are free. Donate if you are able to.

​Are meetings made public or published on YouTube?
No. This is currently a private meeting where you can share whatever comes up without it being made available to the world. To join, just request an invite.

Trigger Warning

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 or progress. However, it can also sometimes result in disorienting, destabilizing, and upsetting experiences. If you feel distressed, please get professional support (spiritual emergence hotline).
