RADICALLY PRESENT! FIND TRUE FREEDOM IN TODAY’S WORLD

November 8th,15th & 22nd, 2026
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM MST | 9:00AM – 12:00 PM Pacific Time (USA)

Open to All
Free for New Students

The Community Call for the November 3-Week Program will take place on Nov 19th at 5pm MT. More info will be sent to registered students.


When I speak about Desire for Truth and Freedom and about “making Presence the priority” in your life it may sometimes sound abstract or downright unrealistic. 

We are all faced with challenges of living in today’s busy, changing and at times uncertain World – both individually and collectively, and that, at times, may even look like we are moving farther away from true Freedom.

And yet, to be Radically Present, is an ongoing and very realistic invitation. An invitation to keep making the commitment to Freedom – which is the true purpose of our life.

In the moment we need the willingness and capacity to let go of the “story” and “reasons” and to, temporarily push back on the challenges and demands of the World and our life and commit to experience what is already Here and always present – true Freedom.

I would like for this 3 week program to be very practical and focused on your particular challenges in making that commitment in the moment and in your life in general. I want us to practice together what it means to be Radically Present and how that can truly transform your life.

Freedom is the true purpose of this life, it is already our true and abiding Nature and it is our final destination.

This is an ongoing invitation and I am very much looking forward to our time together. 

With Love,

Neelam

FOR FREEDOM, GO BEYOND “WRONGNESS” AND JUDGMENT

December 6th & 13th, 2026
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM MST | 9:00AM – 12:00 PM Pacific Time (USA)

Open to All

Our December 13 Satsang will be offered both in person and online via Zoom.

For those attending in person, there will also be a potluck gathering following the Satsang, offering an opportunity to connect and spend time together in community.

If you plan to attend in person, please email Jennifer at jsimon [at] neelam [dot] org for details and to let us know you’ll be joining us.

Somebody asked me recently in an interview what is the biggest or most common obstacle to Awakening and Freedom.

There are several things I could speak about, but the most challenging and deeply seated is the belief that you are “wrong” and any other kind of judgment or self judgment.

To be able to Be Here, which is a prerequisite to Awakening and Freedom, we need to be present to what actually arises in our experience. “Wrongness” in a very big way, takes our attention back to the past. Judgment – any kind of judgment – takes outer attention away from what is actually present.

These themes of “Wrongness” and judgment are very common in the western psyche. Our cultural orientation towards ego driven “independence” and achievement creates stress and the down side or shadow that shows up as judgment and not okayness.

An early life misunderstanding of circumstances – often generational or ancestral – makes you believe that in the core something is wrong – that something is wrong with you, with your experience or with how things are going in your life.

This deep misunderstanding causes repeated Suffering, keeps the “story” alive and makes you miss the true spaciousness and okayness of our True Nature over and over again.

In our December intensive I am looking forward to clarifying and “enlightening” that misunderstanding and so learning to remove ,with Kindness and Love , this very common obstacle to Awakening.

With Love,

Neelam
