See no-self. Know the peace of your true nature. Here. Now.
I’m Kat, short for Katrijn. I write and speak about nonduality as a truth you can realize right now, in ordinary life. On this page, you can sign up for a short weekday reflection, a weekly inquiry email, find information to join the open meetings, listen to recordings, or discover one of four published books. I no longer work one-on-one and there’s no teaching here.
Unsure where to start? Scroll to the end of this page, and listen to the self-illusion introductory meetings series. Or get a copy of the book Seeing No-Self and dive straight into the essential inquiries. If you have questions, come to a meeting, or write — my email is at the bottom of the page.
There are many approaches to nonduality and they can all be valuable. This approach is practical and empirical, based entirely on inquiry: investigating in direct experience, not following a teaching. You can hear beautiful nondual explanations and descriptions, but until you inquire it's all theory. YOU have to look. My intention is to support you in that. The rest is up to you.
Why do I do this? Seeing I am not limited to a separate self, body, or mind, I experience freedom. Knowing that freedom, I experience peace. Knowing that peace, I experience joy. Knowing that joy, a desire arises to share its source.

See for yourself.
The heart of this approach is direct nondual inquiry: observing and finding out in your own experience what is true. It’s not complicated, just unusual. With some clear instructions and enough motivation, anyone can do it. You learn by trying and you already have all you need to succeed.
What you can discover is that the limited, separate self we identify with is an illusion — a mental mirage. There’s no one here to own this life, manage it, or get it right. You innocently learned to believe in this identity as a small child. This causes all your stress and suffering.
The natural result of seeing no-self and rediscovering our true nature, is the end of psychological stress and problems. You discover a deep peace from no longer needing life to be a certain way. Nothing really changes but the quality and the joy of life improve drastically, simply from seeing clearly what is true.
