Ask yourself these 2 questions:
Do I know a lot of spiritual concepts?
Do I live in the peace and joy of my true nature?
In other words do you know about awakening or are you living your natural state of awakened awareness every day?
Stephan Bodian invites you to explore the direct approach to spiritual awakening and wake up right now!

Stephan Bodian
Stephan began his spiritual practice with Shunryu Suzuki, author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, and received ordination as a monk in 1974 from Kobun Chino. After leaving the monastic life in the early ‘80s, he spent a decade as a student of Advaita master Jean Klein, and after Jean’s death in 1998 he spent several years in intimate study with Adyashanti, who invited him to teach.
As well as being a spiritual teacher, Stephan is trained as a psychotherapist and he has been a pioneer in the integration of Eastern wisdom and Western psychology and in the embodiment of awakened awareness in everyday life. His approach to teaching and counseling blends compassionate self-inquiry, nondual insight, and transformational techniques from the field of psychotherapy. Drawing on his decades of experience as a therapist and teacher, he specializes in offering guidance that is custom tailored to the needs of the individual seeker.
