Embodied Spirituality

It’s time to walk the talk. Radically live love for real in the streets of this world.

Spiritual awakening and self development isn’t enough for you. You want to live the holy in the streets of this world. In your relationships, at work, and in every moment of your life.

To embody your realizations. Because that’s where the rubber meets the road.

For thirty years, I’ve been offering global Satsang, Retreats, Mentoring, and Trainings for people from all walks of life.

“This woman has touched the hem of God. Follow her to your own exquisite and authentic self with tears and laughter all the way through into the light. She ignites and inspires greatness! “ Yamini Redwill, Author and Coach, Marin

“Like a soul ninja, Nicola has the incredible gift to reach through suffering to the very heart and truth of a person. She guides into freedom so our light can shine forth. Working with her is an exceptional blessing that opened my heart and transformed my life in a real way”. Star Hanson

The Path

“Who am I? What is my purpose? What is this life for? What is real and eternal? What is left, when all else falls? What ends suffering and leads to happiness? What is true love?” These are ancient questions at the bottom of the heart of humankind, the one all come to ask at some point. Many spiritual traditions provide beneficial roadmaps home and the journey for each is unique at the same time. Wise guidance, supportive community, and consistent spiritual practice can open the way through the maze of endless delusions. In the end, truth is simply found in everyone’s heart.

AWAKENING: The Ascend and Integration

Some experience genuine awakenings every day, for others it happens at once, sudden and powerful, for some, it is a gradual discovery and a more ordinary journey. To realize or glimpse what is true (God, enlightenment, love, compassion, true nature…There are many names for what is ultimately beyond words) is tremendous grace and a gift in life.

Like a shaft of light pours through the rocks of the ages. Or great love strikes and brings you to your knees, an insight comes to you that you have long searched for, or you have dug long and hard and finally fall into who you truly are.

Excruciating pain turns into boundless compassion. You are simply present with another, a sunrise awakens in you deep reverence for the sacredness in all of life…

EMBODIMENT: The Descend. Integration. Wholeness

With an awakening, a remembering, or a pearl of wisdom comes the invitation to embody what has been uncovered. To live it moment by moment, here right where you are, through your body in everyday life. That’s where the rubber meets the road. Where truth stays not merely conceptual but becomes living water flowing through your body and everything is touched by the sacred.

This is where love is made real and lead turns to gold.

That implies to be willing to kiss the dirt and face our shadow, heal wounds, learn to be rooted in our body, and align our life to walk with integrity. To authentically live who we are in sync with the pulse of life. It leads us freely speak our soul voice, stand true, and live connected in our relationships and this world.

ENGAGEMENT: Living in the World and making a Difference

True Spirituality implies to be of service, to engage from our nature in the market place of the world. Not so easy, but our actions are the fruits where realization is actualized. It means to walk in a new way, where we engage with others, at work, and in ordinary life from loving presence and show up to be of benefit.

So, we practice expanding our heart in action to include the wellbeing of others and yourself as well, to be mindful in communications, to discover our calling and make a difference by rooting in truth and living from love – where and as you are right now.

Because, when we are wildly alive and unapologetically real we turn the tide in our life and this world!

REAL PEOPLE’S VOICES

“Over decades I’ve been with many spiritual teachers and have seen much of the spiritual scene. I can tell you for sure, you have something that is so profound and real that I have not seen with many others at all. Already when you begin to speak in the Satsang, it’s incredibly powerful, the transmission that comes through, it’s a huge wave. I can feel how it affects me in the deepest way, in my being, in my body. I have also seen how you work with people, it is outstanding and so fascinating, because you work with everyone differently, and you are always on the mark. Your level of richness, of all the levels you are including, I have never seen before. The emotional, the somatic, the experience, all of it. Your teaching is so true and gets right to the core. You emanate such a field of love and the teachings are incredibly helpful, and the way you lead and teach has impacted me tremendously. You are a true master and teacher of high caliber. I can tell that you have lived what you are talking, and that is why it is so strong. There are a lot of people who have an awakening, and they think they can teach, but they are not ripe, they are not ready, because they haven’t lived it. And so it has no impact other than some words and concepts. You embody that living wine, so real and utterly authentic, which I really love.”

Gisela Eilinger, Germany

This is what I received with Nicola: “When everything is stripped away, the cloak of expectation from around you, the foundation of untruth from beneath you. And you stand naked. Only you and the sunlight, love and truth. And with a first breath your soul is free.”

Susan Barclay

“Nicola’s earthly experience and connection to The Divine Mother and Father is vast. She is deeply connected to spirit, but so much fun too. I found she can gently sense and pierce the very place we need to individually be met for our healing and transformation. I have been on a path of gathering wisdom teachings and practices over many years from lots of different directions. in Nicola I found an affirmation of my path from someone who is a female ‘master’ and who integrates many of these directions I have found over many years in her comprehensive offering.”

Kathy Adams, Facilitator, England

“Nicola is an amazing person and her work is life changing. She has the ability to cut through the surface and get to the source, the core of your being. She holds a presence of compassion that opens the heart at a very deep level. She has surpassed all expectations, and led by her gifted intuition, she has taken me into some very fertile ground. Working with her is a blessing and I give her the highest recommendation.”

Leonard Leinow, Woodacre

“I have attended satsangs lead by Nicola with incredible heart, perception, inspiration, and humor. I was moved to see Nicola for individual sessions – best thing I have done for my personal growth and well being for years. She has helped guide me on my spiritual path, break through emotional blocks, and open my heart to trust and love again.”

Michael Reppy, Mill Valley, Marin County

“The Satsang was fantastic, incredible and so enlivening!”

Salvadora, Community Leader, Spain

“Reflecting on the word ‘retreat’ in the context of the shared transformative experience I just had with other beautiful humans for a whole week, I am wondering what it really means. It was a retreat from fear into love. A retreat from the world of consensus reality with all its fascinations and masks into the true home of the heart. A retreat from loneliness into connection, the type of connection where you know in your cells that we are one. A retreat from global overwhelm, apathy, and feelings of impotence into an empowered, embodied commitment to love in action. To bring our fierce love to everything and everyone we touch.

Nicola embodies the famous phrase: Love is stronger than fear. Her example every moment of every day- under very challenging circumstances- has proven to me both the possibility and the promise of such a conviction. It is contagious! She carries such a vibrant torch that you cannot help but catch on fire- burning with the true desire to live from a place of fierce compassion and love in action. Her commitment, dedication, and selflessness are palpable and humbling. It has been an honor to walk beside her in nature- and the inner terrain of our true nature. Nicola carries the map in her heart and is a blessed guide.”

Melissa Mahar, San Jose, California

“Thank you, Nicola for sharing your joy, depth, wisdom, care and your love during the retreat and beyond it. And thank you for your gift to bring me into a deeper connection with my own heart. I experience Nicola’s presence as a light that literally enlightens the heart. A light that shines on All. It unveiled a love in me that I had forgotten, and it shone light on the shadow and pain that caused so many problems in my life because I couldn’t find the way to meet it wholeheartedly. She gave me with her loving presence the opportunity to meet it and I’m so grateful for that! A huge liberation, a second chance in life is what I feel now.Her guidance flows from her own direct life experiences and that makes her for me trustworthy. Her transmission is powerful and she is loving and genuine. I highly recommend her as leader, spiritual teacher and trainer. It’s a blessing to meet her! “

Kim Roswitha, Founder of Wisdom with Horses, Spain

Katie Byram, Martinez, California

“I just wanted to thank you for an incredible experience at the retreat. It was truly transformative for me. I spent much of the day reflecting and writing about a recent breakup that was extremely painful and has left me in a very dark place for the past ten months. I experienced a lot of healing that day during the retreat, thanks to your guidance.During the meditations I felt a seed of compassion was watered in me, rather than resentment and anger, and I think that was really key to the healing process. For the past few weeks I have felt very joyful and free from the heavy weight of grief that I was under. I feel lifted out of the darkness I was in, and ready to move on with my life. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to each of you for helping me to heal and transform. Thank you for your inspiring words, your calming presence, and for creating an atmosphere of healing.”

Annalies, Berkeley

Kristin Crowly, MFT intern, Berkeley

“This retreat was just beautiful, full of deep connection with each other, nature, spirit, and ourselves. Nicola created a very safe container for people to let go into greater depth, and she was finely attuned to each person’s process. Through guided meditations and practices, she led the group into deep presence and resonance.

Nicola embodies an incredible combination of profound love and powerful energy that is both catalytic and highly inspirational. By the end of the retreat I felt more fully connected and also lit up with a powerful call to my next level of purposeful work in the world. I could also sense that each person in the group received something very special. I so appreciate and respect Nicola and I am very grateful.”

Sherri Lassila, Women’s Leader and Executive coach
