About us<\/h3>\n

After experiencing a \u2018spontaneous awakening\u2019 on February 4, 2021, <\/span>Michael<\/strong>\u00a0began a dedicated study into the nature of mind and consciousness, seeking teachers and traditions that could explain this experience. He is passionate about guiding others to awaken to the liberating truth of their being. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rooted in the\u00a0<\/span>Advaita Vedanta<\/em> tradition, but broadly exploring non-duality inspired by a variety of teachers, Michael\u2019s Satsangs are engaging and illuminating.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s wife, Heather<\/strong>, is a meditation and yoga teacher and former Buddhist nun, who combines 24 years of meditation training with a lifelong interest in mental and physical health. She teaches with warmth, compassion and humour.<\/p>\n

Both Michael and Heather teach weekly classes, workshops and retreats, in person at Stream<\/a> in Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada and online through zoom.<\/p>\n

Join Michael Sunday mornings at 9:30am for Satsang and Heather Wednesday evenings at 7pm for Insight Meditation. Both sessions are offered freely.<\/p>\n

Together, Michael and Heather enjoy being a part of the local community and cultivating relationships and friendships in all of their undertakings.<\/p>\n
