Sharon's teachings are based on her deep realization of silence and the way silence expresses itself in form. She notes, “Often there is still a thread that says the 'me' is going to get it; the ‘me’ is going to wake up. And it just isn’t true. It actually wakes up out of the ‘me’." So in her teaching, Sharon emphasizes how silence wakes up in the body and how the embodiment process is actualized.
Sharon offers support for the required shift of identity that is both direct and tailored to each person's journey. She will lovingly invite you to “tell yourself the Truth” and to “Come home, sweetheart, come home”. In the simple recognition of the One Ultimate Reality, which is always and already here, the experience of separation dissolves.
Sharon is a teacher of Adya's Open Gate Sangha and Jennifer's teacher.
