Why It’s Important
As human beings, we have incredible potential within us – the potential to understand our inherent goodness and to lead lives filled with love, joy, and peace. However, for various reasons, these qualities are often out of reach. Awakening Truth is rooted in both modern insights and timeless traditional teachings. Through a blend of time-proven tools drawn from ancient wisdom and a psychological understanding of trauma and attachment formation within our welcoming community, we strive to bridge the gap between this potential and its realization. Our mission is to guide you on a journey that transforms limitations into possibilities, allowing you to embrace the beauty of your true nature and experience the profound changes it can bring to your life.
What You’ll Learn
At Awakening Truth, we provide a rich learning experience that draws from time-tested Buddhist practices, neurobiology, and modern psychology to understand our experience. Our classes offer you the chance to immerse yourself in these practices, fostering the growth of qualities like mindfulness, loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
We value the practice of inquiry. This leads us to recognize how observing together in pairs and in groups enhances not only our personal growth and realization but also fosters growth among our fellow participants contributing to integration and the journey of awakening.
Additionally, we’re excited to introduce you to Integrated Meditation, a method that targets early imprints within you. Through this practice, you’ll have the tools to gently reshape deep-seated beliefs, allowing you to thrive.
Our aim is to empower you with these practices, helping you cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
ABOUT
Amma Thanasanti
Amma, a seasoned meditation teacher, and life coach, draws from decades of immersive experience within monastic communities. Her journey, deeply influenced by the wisdom of these environments, revealed that alleviating suffering often demands a broader approach than what conventional Insight meditation practices and ethical guidelines can provide. Her keen awareness of the complexities surrounding individuals grappling with developmental trauma led her to the realization that a more comprehensive strategy was needed.
In 2017, Amma transitioned from her monastic life to civilian living, bringing with her a profound understanding of the intricacies of the human experience and the diverse paths to healing. This transition marked a new chapter in her journey, one where she channels her insights to support others on their quests for authentic growth and transformation.
Amma’s unique perspective, enriched by her immersion in meditation, trauma-informed approaches, and a commitment to personal and collective healing, fuels her mission to foster connection, authenticity, and empowerment. Her teachings are deeply rooted in nature, self-discovery, and meaningful interactions, encouraging the lives of those she guides to navigate their paths with clarity and purpose.
For more insight into Amma and her work, check out her article Why Meditation Alone Can’t Heal Every Wound, published on Lion’s Roar.
