Summary

Spiritual midwife, evolutionary, healer, author, and artist, Peter Cutler had a profound awakening experience at the tender age of twenty-two. Ten days after it began, he promptly fell back into the dream state most us consider our lives. Not having a clue what had happened, he began a spiritual search that took him through many spiritual teachers, practices, and traditions, finally flowering as this great light of profound peace, unconditional love, freedom, and contentment. As he first discovered at twenty-two, the radiance of this awake being seems to have a profound effect on people, often leading to remarkable healings. This made it crystal clear that we don't awaken for ourselves alone. As a spiritual midwife, for those who are ready, he assists in the birth of the awakened nature that lies within each of us. He offers weekly teachings, healing, Living Awake groups, retreats, and private sessions at his spiritual center in Sedona, Arizona (The Sedona Zendo of the Awakened Heart) or online. His first book The Zen of Love: Discover Your Own Awakened Heart is available on Amazon. Free digital download of the book.
