Jim Tolles
Before turning to spiritual teaching, Jim Tolles graduated summa cum laude with degrees in Creative Writing and History and worked in politics and the tech industry. A spontaneous awakening in 2007 brought a sudden quieting of desire and restlessness, followed by an eight-year period of ego dissolution and trauma processing; he began teaching in 2010 and works experientially, explicitly distinguishing spiritual crisis from medical or psychological issues.
He currently teaches through Spiritual Awakening Process, structured around an entry-level class followed by groups, mentorship, one-on-one sessions and ongoing email exchanges.
“Surrender doesn't mean that we do nothing. Actually, when you let go of your illusions about the present moment, you find that you are able to do anything that is possible for you.”Jim Tolles
