Discovering the Intimacy of True Seeing - Dorothy Hunt
Episode 32
Sunday, 20 September, 2026
What does it truly mean to look beyond our conceptual labels and rest in the direct, unmediated experience of awareness? In this illuminating talk, Dorothy Hunt invites us to explore how true seeing shatters the illusion of separation and brings us home to the present moment. She gently guides us to recognize that awareness is not something we achieve, but rather what we fundamentally are when we stop searching and simply notice what is here.As Dorothy explains, softening into this deep inquiry involves a few essential shifts in perception:Recognizing that our thoughts, sensations, and emotions are simply passing expressions of a vast, welcoming mystery rather than fixed identities to defend.Dropping the spiritual ambition to "get somewhere" else, and instead allowing ourselves to rest fully in the ordinary, intimate immediacy of now.Cultivating a compassionate, unshielded tenderness toward our human vulnerability, letting awareness hold every experience just as it is.______________Dorothy Hunt serves as spiritual director of Moon Mountain Sangha and was the founder of the San Francisco Center for Meditation and Psychotherapy. She is the author of Only This!, Leaves from Moon Mountain, and Ending the Search: From Spiritual Ambition to the Heart of Awareness, as well as articles published on nondual wisdom and psychotherapy.She teaches at the request and in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti, who invited her to share the dharma in 2004. Dorothy has a long and deep connection to the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and the nondual teachings of Zen, Advaita, and the Christian mystics. She invites a deep welcoming of the human expressions of the mystery. A licensed psychotherapist since 1967, Dorothy has now retired from her private practice. She is a mother and a grandmother.
