"Awakening is waking up from the daytime dream and realizing that who you thought you were is not limited to thought, emotion or form. Beyond the imaginary seeker; beyond concepts and beliefs, there is a field of innocence and purity. We are this deep peace and sacredness, which is absolute and beyond all intellectual understanding. I invite you to recognize this precious Essence of Being and to directly realize the illusion of all psychological suffering due to misidentification, misperception of separation, and attachment to conditioned thought." ~ Katie Davis, Author, Awake Joy
About Katie Davis and Spontaneous Awakening
Formerly from Seattle, Washington, Katie Davis offers non-dual events and satsang wherever invited worldwide. In 1986, Katie had a profound, radical and spontaneous awakening, without teachers or spiritual practices. In fact, she had no intellectual reference whatsoever for what had occurred. She spent many years integrating that spiritual realization.
She is author of Awake Joy: The Essence of Enlightenment and her husband is Sundance Burke, author of Free Spirit: A Guide to Enlightened Being, who awakened in 1982 before their meeting with his first teachers, Satoshi (Osho) and Sunyata, named the Rare Born Mystic by his friend, Ramana Maharshi.
In 1998, they became close friends with Eckhart Tolle. When Power of Now published, they were invited to travel with him for two months on his first Power of Now Tour. Our photo gallery on this website chronicles those travels. He invited them to share the teachings and they offered six week seminars on Eckhart's teachings and the teachings on Ramana Maharshi on enlightenment. In 2004, Eckhart encouraged Sundance and Katie to write Awake Joy and Free Spirit.
Sundance and Katie moved to the beautiful island of Maui from Seattle to write. The books were intimately written with their desks side by side and the expanse of the Pacific Ocean before them. Over each Maui sunset, they would share with one another the passages that had been created. Their books, Awake Joy by Katie and Free Spirit by Sundance published in February 2008. They have been offering satsang and teachings on spiritual awakening and enlightenment since 1999.
In 2008, Sundance and Katie are offering satsang, satsang intensives or retreats in Dallas and Plano, Texas; Sedona, Flagstaff, Tempe, Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona; Boulder, Ridgway, Telluride and Ouray, Colorado; Toronto and Richmond Hill, Ontario; Chicago and Highland Park, Illinois; Vancouver BC; Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Washington; Kihei, Wailea, Haiku, Wailuku and Lahaina in Maui, Hawaii; Carlsbad and Los Angeles, California.
