Nondual Wisdom and the Pathless Path with Stephan Bodian
by Stephan Bodian
Welcome to the Nondual Wisdom and the Pathless Path podcast. I’m your host, Stephan Bodian. I’m a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, founder and director of the School for Awakening, and the author of several books, including Meditation for Dummies, Wake Up Now, and my new book, Infinite Awakening. Join me periodically for wide-ranging explorations of spiritual awakening and the nature of reality, incorporating the nondual wisdom of Advaita, Zen, Dzogchen, Shiva tantra, and beyond. My guests include teachers in these traditions, as well as scholars, therapists, artists, and others who incorporate a nondual perspective into their work. I’m particularly interested in honoring both Shakti—the dynamic, provocative, unpredictable energy of becoming—and Shiva—the pristine, unchanging, silent ground of being—as equal partners in the dance of nondual reality.
