In these uncertain times, many feel a deeper call to live with greater clarity, purpose, and responsibility. Evolutionary Enlightenment offers a way to meet that call — not by stepping back from life, but by engaging it more fully, awake to the unfolding movement of evolution itself. Daniela Bomatter invites you to a weekly gathering at Manifest Nirvana, where participants will explore these teachings through dialogue, inquiry, and shared practice. Each session will be responsive to the group — sometimes focused on open questions, at other times offering short teaching segments to deepen understanding. When appropriate, breakout groups will allow for direct engagement with the practice of Intersubjective Nonduality, a powerful doorway into shared awakening and collective intelligence.
Awakening to timeless Being is not enough
In this bi-weekly teaching, Daniela Bomatter explores a profound distinction at the heart of Evolutionary Enlightenment—one that few truly recognize. While traditional spiritual awakening has long been understood as the realization of timeless, formless Being, there is an equally vital yet often overlooked awakening: the recognition of the evolutionary impulse—the dynamic, creative force driving the unfolding of the universe. Daniela illuminates how true enlightenment is not only about transcending the world but also about fully engaging with it, embracing both the stillness of pure awareness and the urgency of becoming. This teaching challenges seekers to expand their perspective, inviting them to step beyond passive realization and into active participation in the evolutionary process itself.
Consciousness delights in its own Self-Recognition
Andrew Cohen illuminates how the joy of self-recognition is the very engine of spiritual awakening. When consciousness turns back on itself, it discovers an ecstatic freedom beyond thought and form. This awakening is not an endpoint but an ongoing process—a creative unfolding in which we, as conscious beings, participate. By surrendering to this process, we align with the evolutionary force of the cosmos itself, no longer seeing ourselves as separate but as awareness rejoicing in its own limitless potential.
The Sound of Freedom
Andrew Cohen invites us to explore the profound intersection of art and spiritual awakening, using jazz as a living metaphor for the evolutionary journey. Through the lens of improvisation, harmony, and the courage to embrace the unknown, Andrew illuminates how the principles of jazz mirror the essence of evolutionary enlightenment. This teaching will inspire a deeper understanding of freedom, creativity, and interconnectedness, showing how the spontaneous rhythms of life itself guide us toward our highest potential.
Freedom is a Choice
Andrew Cohen guides us into a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay between karmic momentum and conscious choice. He invites us to confront our patterns with courage and humility, showing that while we may be influenced by the echoes of past actions, we are never without the power to step beyond them. Each teaching illuminates how, by embracing responsibility for our inner lives, we can transcend the limitations of the past and engage with life from a place of genuine freedom. In doing so, we transform suffering into a catalyst for profound spiritual evolution, moving from victimhood to liberation.

Open Q&A with Andrew Cohen
This gathering offers a rare and valuable opportunity to engage directly with Andrew and bring forth any spiritual questions that have arisen on your journey. Whether you are wrestling with the timeless inquiries of the soul or seeking clarity on Andrew’s unique teachings around evolutionary enlightenment, this session is a space for profound exploration.
Beyond the Witness
Andrew Cohen will guide us through an ever-deepening understanding of our relationship with the Absolute, building on the foundations laid in his previous session. This is an invitation to not only comprehend Enlightenment as the dissolution of separation but also to explore how we can live from that realisation in the evolving complexity of life. As always, Andrew’s teachings offer a powerful blend of philosophical insight and practical application, giving participants the tools to awaken to Spirit and integrate this understanding into their personal growth and daily experience.
Spirit is Higher
In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen invites us to explore the subtle and transcendent nature of the true self, recognizing the spirit as the silent witness that exists beyond the confines of mind and body. He reminds us that when we say “spirit is higher,” we acknowledge a perspective that transcends the temporary concerns of daily life, inviting us into a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmic process of becoming. This higher dimension is not distant but is the very core of our being, offering a vision of life that is expansive and interconnected. Cohen also illuminates the concept of non-duality as both an absolute singularity and a developmental continuum. While the ultimate truth is the seamless oneness of all existence, this realization unfolds progressively, guiding us through stages of increasing unity and clarity. By embracing both the eternal and the evolutionary aspects of non-duality, we are called to live a life of awakening, service, and profound transformation, committing to the continual expansion of consciousness.
The Cosmic Dance of Progress: Growth Hierarchies for True Transformation
In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen invites us to reflect deeply on where we stand in our own journey—are we merely seeking to fulfill our personal desires, or are we ready to step into a greater context of meaning? He challenges us to see beyond the allure of self-actualization and recognize the call of self-transcendence. This shift is not about abandoning our individuality, but rather about realizing its fullest expression by becoming a conscious participant in the evolution of life itself. As we align with this higher purpose, we find that our own liberation is intricately woven into the liberation of all beings. Thus, Cohen’s teachings guide us not just toward personal enlightenment but toward a profound, collective awakening—a realization that the ultimate goal of our existence is not to become the best version of ourselves, but to transcend ourselves in the service of a greater, evolutionary purpose.
