| In 1982 on a business trip, Sundance Burke radically awakened with Satoshi (Osho) and Sunyata, named the Rare Born Mystic by his friend Ramana Marshi, whom he met through happenstance alone. He spent many years integrating that profound spiritual realization. In 1988, he met his wife, Advaita Satsang teacher, Katie Davis, who had radically and spontaneously awakened in 1986 without spiritual practices or teachers. In fact, she had no intellectual reference whatsoever for what had occurred and the integration took twelve years. Subsequently, they studied the works of Advaita Vedanta, ancient scriptures and the works of traditional sages and contemporary teachers. In 1998, they became close friends with Eckhart Tolle, who encouraged them to share their teachings. They were invited to travel with him for two months on his first Power of Now Tour. In 2004, Eckhart encouraged them to write their books, "Free Spirit" by Sundance Burke and "Awake Joy" by Katie Davis, published in February 2008. Sundance Burke travels worldwide to share the message of conscious freedom and causeless joy in the form of Free Spirit talks in spiritual gatherings and in Advaita Satsang, in intensive retreats and silent retreats. He has been offering Advaita Satsang since 1999. In this interview he talks in detail about his awakening and its integration. |
