Candace has actively explored embodiment since finding yoga and meditation in 1973. She experienced a spontaneous embodied nondual awakening in 1983 as her 35’ sailing vessel, Avaiki, carried her 2800 miles across the Pacific Ocean. Amidst constant chaotic movement, a feeling/seeing of being centered in/as still spaciousness immanent in sky, ocean, boat, and beings, unexpectedly became constant. The lived experience evaporated whenever returning to land. She sold her boat in 2007. In 2010 she discovered Judith Blackstone’s Realization Process, and that at-sea-like-lived experience. Candace’s passion is using RP to help people stabilize as/in an on-going lived experience of fundamental consciousness. For more information, go to embodied-nonduality.com.
