About Jac
Jac O'Keeffe is a spiritual teacher with a unique style. Her teachings cultivate wisdom, honesty and integrity. She exposes taboos that are usually avoided in spiritual circles and encourages conversations around issues that are fundamental to our human experience.
Jac's work is driven by her capacity to envision the possible future of spirituality. She speaks about the required evolution of both teachers and methods to impart teachings to make spirituality relevant and applicable to regular life.
Jac offers guidance and skills so that every student is empowered in their own inner exploration. She helps them cultivate inner autonomy and encourages them to take responsibility in both their spiritual and human evolution.

JUNE-Empowered Devotion
In this 2 part series, Aaron will teach a different approach to the subject of Devotion.
Traditional Devotion is a practice of consecrating all of one's thoughts and actions to God as an act of worship. To live no longer for oneself, but to devote one's entire life to God.
Empowered Devotion takes a unique approach to this practice, as it focuses more on realizing one's full potential as an act of worship. Devotion to one's spiritual potential and the realization of one's unique gifts and purpose in this life is perhaps the most powerful practice one can adopt for their spiritual growth.
As we become more aligned with the flow of life and the lessons it teaches us, our consciousness becomes upgraded to higher and higher levels, allowing us to realize the fullness of our Divine potential.
JULY- Give Yourself Permission to Screw Up on the Spiritual Path
Learn how to navigate the ongoing awareness of being both fully human and fully divine.
In these 3 Masterclasses with Jac, you will get honest answers to questions such as:
- Is there an end point to awakening or not?
- How can I be Knowledge itself and yet make mistakes?
- Who can I talk to about problems post-awakening?
- Will my human needs disappear as my awakening integrates?
Jac will teach you how to explore the lived experience of an ongoing awakened state.
AUGUST-Dedication to Awakening
The mind seeks dedication to awakening in order to 'get', 'achieve' or 'become' something but this mental seeking born of the conceptual self keeps us perpetually running on a spiritual treadmill, constantly chasing the promise of a future awakening.
Through gentle self-inquiry and full immersion in the NOW we can transcend the mind and discover a deeper dimension within ourselves.This dimension of Beingness opens us up to a vast, infinite ocean of peace; a stillness which never leaves or changes. Once tasted, this peace awakens a deep, authentic all-consuming desire of the heart to live in full alignment with Truth.
Effort and discipline then become irrelevant on our journey of awakening and we simply begin to live moment to moment in our preferred state of Being... in presence, love and joy.
SEPTEMBER -The Awakening Body
Many of us have a deep understanding or intuition that the ordinary "I" that is present now and reading these words does not refer to a separate person.
Yet in everyday life, we continue to believe and feel ourselves to be a limited fragment.
Ellen will lead two 2 hour sessions, which are an invitation to inquire openly and deeply into our direct experience and to allow it to reveal its essential reality of Awareness. Our particular focus is the body, allowing it to be our mirror and our pathway, our prayer, and our altar, and ultimately the shining expression of this shared identity.
Gently using tactile inquiry, postures, breath and movement, the body is slowly realigned with our deepest understanding. It flows as a living substance with more and more ease and transparency and reflects and expresses the ever-present freedom and silence that is its invisible source.
OCTOBER-Discover Your Natural State of Awakened Awareness
Once we have an initial recognition that our thoughts and feelings do not in fact constitute who we really are, the next step is to realize our “natural state” of inherent wakefulness, which is never lost or gained and never sullied or disturbed by the thoughts and feelings that arise. This direct recognition, beyond the mind, of our essential spiritual nature is the breakthrough awakening to which the nondual spiritual traditions point.
Yet many seekers read the books and watch the videos but never come to this clear recognition, which is traditionally transmitted, and then confirmed, by direct pointing in the presence of a teacher.
In this series of 4 Masterclasses, Stephan will offer teachings, guided meditations, and pointing-out instructions to introduce you directly to your natural state—what Tibetans call the “nature of mind” and Zen calls your original face before your parents were born. Once awareness awakens to itself in this way, you have experienced a major shift in identity and can’t completely revert to your old, dysfunctional way of being again.
NOVEMBER - The End of Suffering
Is it possible to be completely free of suffering?
Join Tom Das for 4 interactive Satsangs where you can ask any questions you may have on whether total freedom from suffering is possible while we live in a body-mind.
DECEMBER-Living the Non-Dual Understanding of a Course in Miracles
Resting as Awareness may be the most important, valuable and yet unknown healing tool of our time.
The entire world has access to this today and most people don't know about it.
Why?
It's hidden in plain sight because our attention is habitually and culturally focused on objective external experience.
Wrap up your year of Integrated Awakening with a 4 part series of Self-Inquiry and Self-Discovery meditation Masterclasses with Bill Free.

"The great secret is that it is this apparently simple, limited, mortal awareness, which is in fact, eternal, splendid, divine. If you hold on to that, at least as a possibility, your life will change and you would walk in the garden."
— Francis Lucille
What people say about Evolve...
Karen
I have been a member of Evolve since it began and I can honestly say that joining this community was the best thing that I have ever done for my spiritual growth as well as my mental health. I was constantly listening to that angry voice inside my head that said I wasn’t good enough, that I was a victim of every bad thing that had ever happened to me and others were to blame. Joining Evolve changed all that!
I learned to listen to my own inner guide through the techniques of many amazing and loving teachers. Of course, the live sessions on Zoom where I communicated and made friends with fellow members and teachers has perhaps been the biggest blessing of all. I am still evolving every moment as I learn to see everything and everyone as the Light that they are. I am truly grateful to the whole Evolve community whom I love.
Glenda
The Integrated Awakening Series this year is beyond words. The deepening of experience in awareness as I journey through each weekly presentation has given me so much love for myself, a deep and lasting connection to the whole (every tree, animal, person), the letting go of reactions dozens of times a day and so much more. These are mostly presenters I did not previously know and the fabric and threads that have been woven each week is a rare gift indeed.
I cannot imagine what 2023 holds for us all. I have no favourites although Diederik’s process is so life changing for me. Thank you from my heart.
Lynn
Thank you for the beautiful meditation. The input from the participants is so helpful and affirming. I'm so grateful Life brought this site and fellow journeyers into "My" awareness. Love and peace to all
