What is Radiant Mind?
Click here to download the Course Brochure.
Radiant Mind arises when unconditioned awareness radiates through the totality of our conditioned existence. When we live in radiant mind we experience ourselves as a unique human being, while at the same time resting in a unified expanse of centerless and boundless awareness. This state is called liberation, buddhanature, egolessness, pure presence, nondual wisdom, our natural condition, and effortless being.
The ultimate goal of all human endeavors
This state is the ultimate goal of all human endeavors. Why? Because when we rest in unconditioned awareness, there’s nothing more that we need. There is nowhere further to go. It’s the only state that’s totally fulfilling. Radiant Mind programs direct us to the space of unconditioned awareness as a way of transcending suffering and embracing the future, free of fragile hopes and deep-seated fears.
As the darkness of the night, even were it to last a thousand years,
could not conceal the rising sun, so countless ages of conflict
and suffering cannot conceal the innate radiance of mind.
Tilopa (988-1069 CE)
Embodied transcendence
The sublime purity of transcendent insight is identical with the natural spontaneous purity of the countless configurations that present themselves as the universe in all its multidimensionality
Buddha, Perfect Wisdom Scripture
Radiant Mind programs reveal unconditioned awareness in the midst of our everyday life. We cultivate nondual presence in a natural way that is integrated with the complexities of daily commitments. Every aspect and dimension of our existence becomes a unique expression of freedom and transcendence. We find ourselves in the natural and effortless service of humanity.
Time honored nondual traditions
Our programs are inspired by the Mahayana Buddhist traditions of Zen, Dzogchen, Mahamudra and Madhyamaka. Our programs use the timeless realization of nondual awareness as the source for authentic intimacy, healing and inner peace.
Radiant Mind programs combine the ultimate view of Asia’s most refined nondual traditions and the finely honed skills of Western psychology. Our programs blend the liberating power of nondual wisdom with the intimacy and psychological depth we find in Western counseling and therapy.
In Radiant Mind we do nothing more, and nothing less, than what is required to rest confidently in the radiance of pure being. Our work addresses this challenge through skillfully refined forms of contemplative inquiry that lead us directly into the space of spontaneously arising, nondual presence.

Whether it is called enlightenment, pure awareness, or "unconditioned awareness," there exists an awakened state of pure liberation that is at the heart of every contemplative tradition. According to Peter Fenner, this experience of boundless consciousness does not have to exist separately from our day-to-day, "conditioned" existence...
