"Self realisation is just the beginning.
Our spiritual life endlessly deepens in the Heart."
Non-Duality Teaching
Embodying non-dual Awareness
Shakti’s teaching on non-dual meditation is not a philosophy or a belief system, but a direct invitation into the lived experience of being Pure Consciousness, expressing itself through the body–mind.
Although this is often intellectually accepted, we are not just a person. In reality, our being extends far beyond the size of a body and the span of a lifetime and is interconnected with all there is. This can be achieved by letting go of every egoic image, through a process of self-inquiry and perceptual experience of reality.
Shakti – in her spiritual teaching on awareness – invites an experiential recognition that is beyond the mere understanding of non duality. It is a natural integration into everyday life, without creating any division between spirituality and living.
In this approach, meditation is an inner technology that allows whatever arises — thoughts, emotions, relationships, challenges — to be met without contraction or avoidance.
As this recognition becomes more stable, suffering gradually loosens its grip, and life reveals itself as the embodiment of Pure Consciousness, mirroring our understanding or our ignorance.

“Suffering becomes no longer something to avoid, but something to be transformed, allowing us to reclaim the natural joy of living that was contracted by the sense of a separate ‘me’.”
At the heart of this teaching is an ongoing process of integrating our humanity into our true Self, so that our individual expression becomes the jewel through which the transcendent can shine.
Life itself becomes the daily spiritual practice, where the guru is the Heart.

What Non-Duality can offer
From Shakti’s guided meditations on non-dual awareness, one can expect a space of deep listening, clarity, and truth — free from roles to perform or ideals to attain.
There are no ready-made answers or techniques to accumulate, but a living guidance that supports heart opening, inner maturation, and a grounded return to what is real, here and now.
This is not a practice to achieve extraordinary experiences, but an invitation to a quiet, embodied transformation in the way we live and relate.
Ultimately, truth cannot be found in words, but only in the silence that witnesses everything. Still, these spiritual teachings gently point to that which is beyond all experience — and yet capable of permeating every moment of life.

What is a Satsang?
Satsang, in Sanskrit, means “being in the company of Truth.”
It is traditionally a gathering in which an initial teaching is followed by questions and responses, allowing what is shared to be integrated as a living understanding.
Unlike an ordinary conference, a satsang is a transmission of an embodied state of consciousness, in which it may be recognized that the one who speaks and the one who listens are the same Being.
Through the dismantling of mistaken concepts, the mind slows down and what is prior to it becomes apparent: a living Presence, perceivable in the silence between words.

Satsang is not meant to be listened to in order to be understood, but received in the same way one listens to music — allowing its deepest meaning to unfold by itself in the Heart.
What happens in a Retreat?
In intensives and retreats, supportive practices such as perception exercises, moving meditation, and periods of silent meditation allow a direct experiential recognition of the unbroken field of Consciousness that we are.
A retreat can be a life transforming opportunity to directly perceive – and not just understand – the absence of a the sense to be a separate person, and having an embodied experience of non dual awareness.
One can step back from the inner dialogue of the mind to find silence and peace. The atmosphere is filled with the joyful human connection with many other spiritual seekers.
Experiencing an in-person retreat
Sometimes we feel the need to put our life on pause for a moment and reconsider where we are coming from and where we are heading.
We may rediscover how to reconnect with the natural joy of living and learn to live from non-separation, allowing our authentic being to begin to shine.
Two satsang sessions per day—one meditation session and one perception-exercise session—accompany the day.
These retreats offer a space of shared presence, silence, and embodied inquiry, where this recognition can unfold naturally through direct experience rather than conceptual understanding.
ONLINE SATSANG
International Community Gathering
Every week, our international community of spiritual seekers gathers online to share satsang and meditate together. Participation is open to single events, or through a monthly membership.
These gatherings offer a space of presence and shared inquiry, accessible from anywhere in the world to accompany our spiritual path in the everyday.

What does it mean that life is a dream, it is a state of Consciousness? #shakticaterinamaggi #nonduality #spiritualawakening #embodied #SpiritualGrowth
“The brain is simply an instrument through which an impulse passes that creates an impression, received by something that is not localized inside it. ![]()
![]()
We have never been ‘inside here,’ not even for a moment. We are using this instrument to experience reality in an apparently solid, dimensional way — in a state of consciousness that is life itself.![]()
![]()
The more we are identified with manifestation, the more solid and separate life will appear. The less we are identified, the more it will appear as light.![]()
![]()
Life is a state of consciousness. When this consciousness is sufficiently clear, it begins to capture itself rather than seeking itself solely in the world of forms.![]()
![]()
All our fundamental pains — abandonment, non-belonging, a sense of inadequacy — arise from this: from believing we are ‘inside here’ while life is ‘out there.’ We try to change the outside in order to change the inside.![]()
![]()
But who is the witness of your events? Who is aware of what manifests? ![]()
![]()
The more interest develops toward what is watching, the more manifestation simply becomes an experience. We are only present — and the more present you are, the more that manifestation reveals itself in its light.”![]()

You might discover that what the mind calls a sense of lack and emptiness is actually you.![]()
You are right there, inside what you usually run away from — that lack, that void you perceive in your daily life and keep trying to fill.![]()
![]()
And if you stay long enough with this experience of lack, without trying to change it or fill it, you fall into it, you disappear into it.![]()
![]()
And there you find yourself. In the very place you would never think to look.![]()
![]()
Inside the sense of separation, inside the closed oyster, there is the pearl — you are that jewel.![]()
Because what the mind calls a sense of lack is in reality the attraction toward the Self. Toward the true part of us that is not the personality, not the body, not the mind, not the ego.![]()
![]()
But that void frightens us, and instead of contemplating it and transcending it, we flee into materialism — or into spiritual materialism.![]()
It all begins with becoming curious about that off-note that is always present in your life — even when you are happy it is there, even when things are going the way you wanted it is there — and beginning to contemplate it.![]()
![]()
At first you don’t see it because the mind fills it with its own stories and demands. But if you become more subtle and truly stop to listen, you will begin to see it — it doesn’t disappear, it only moves to the background.![]()
![]()
In contemplation, I enter a space of unity with what I am contemplating. Behind every desire lies this sense of lack — that dissatisfaction we feel because we believe ourselves to be an object. And this is the tragedy.![]()
![]()
We are not an object, we are not only body and mind. We are the ultimate subject of all reality — we are creative, infinite Consciousness.![]()

The more we remain conscious![]()
of what happens within us,![]()
the more we become aware![]()
of the deeper forces![]()
that move our experience.![]()
![]()
We become less focused on the event itself![]()
and more attentive to the subtle movement that generates it.![]()
![]()
When we begin to see these mechanisms,![]()
we should neither worry nor judge ourselves.![]()
![]()
The mind says: “I’m doing badly.”![]()
But it is precisely this awareness of our automatisms![]()
that is the greatest grace.![]()
![]()
Recognizing a shadow,![]()
it is the sign that the light is already here.![]()
