Shakti Caterina Maggi has been sharing the non dual message of awakening since 2003 to thousands of students from all over the world. Her approach, in the vein of the precious tradition of Advaita Vedanta and Shaivism, offers, in a contemporary framework, an inner technology for dissolving the contraction of suffering that generally accompanies the human condition and seems to stop the recognition of the unlimited Being at our essence. Her invitation is to come to the space of inner peace and unconditional love which resides at the heart of us all.

Awakening to the Heart. Resting in the Heart, through all the challenges of our everyday life, is the path to consciously embodying the non-dual message. The Heart is the core of our non-dual essence, it is the abode of Consciousness itself. While the mind sees opposites and polarities, dividing the world in two, the Heart recognizes itself everywhere. In the Heart all conflict can be dissolved, reconnecting us to this higher reality in which all illusion of separation of separation is transcended.
