KATIE DAVIS was born in the United States and is a graduate of the University of Washington. Before the spiritual awakening, she operated aerobics studios in the Pacific Northwest. Her awakening did not arise from psychological suffering, but rather through her passion for body freedom through aerobic fitness. Since 2004, she has lived in Hawaii with her husband, Sundance Burke.

KATIE DAVIS TEACHINGS - Although Katie is not aligned with a tradition because of her spontaneous awakening, she has been influenced by the
road map of Advaita, Non-duality and the Self-inquiry teachings of Adi
Shankar and Ramana Maharshi. Eckhart Tolle's teachings and the clear and
pragmatic manner that they present Advaita and Non-duality to the western
mind have also impacted her teachings and writing.

In 1986, Katie Davis radically and spontaneously awakened without spiritual practices or teachers. She had never head of awakening and had never been a seeker of Truth. In fact, she had no intellectual reference whatsoever for what had occurred. A former secondary school educator, businesswoman and mother of two, she simply profoundly awakened from the daytime dream of concepts, beliefs and form to fall into the reality of who we really are.

Katie devoted the following twelve years integrating the spiritual realization and in 1999 began offering talks in the form of satsang in spiritual gatherings with the message of conscious freedom and causeless joy. She now travels worldwide for public speaking, book events, satsang, intensives and silent retreats.

Katie's husband and frequent teaching partner is Sundance Burke, author of Free Spirit: A Guide to Enlightened Being. Before meeting Katie, he had similarly awakened in 1982 with his first teachers, Satoshi (Osho) and Sunyata, named the Rare Born Mystic by his friend Ramana Maharshi.

In 1998, Katie Davis became close friends with Eckhart Tolle who directly encouraged her to write her new book, Awake Joy: The Essence of Enlightenment.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Katie Davis

"Awakening
is waking up from the daytime dream and realizing that who you
thought you were is not limited to thought, emotion or form.
Beyond the imaginary seeker; beyond concepts and beliefs, there is a
field of innocence and purity. We are this deep peace and sacredness,
which is absolute and beyond all intellectual understanding. I invite
you to recognize this precious Essence of Being and to directly
realize the illusion of all psychological suffering due to
misidentification, misperception of separation, and attachment to
conditioned thought."

~ Katie Davis, Author, Awake Joy

"As conditioned human beings, we seek adventure in becoming. Yet, because this compulsive search is ultimately unsatisfying, we then seek refuge in the peace of being. Once we realize both the complexity of becoming and the simplicity of being, Awake Joy emerges. Its Essence is the rapture of true fulfillment. It is a mystery that the human being fears the Unknown, when our love for it birthed us into existence."

~ Katie Davis, Author, Awake Joy
