About Sundance Burke and Awakening
Sundance was born in Seattle, Washington under the given name, Donald Russell Burke III. He is a graduate of the University of Washington and the Gonzaga School of Law. While traveling for business in 1982, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening that fundamentally dissolved his concept of self. He is a spiritual teacher, Advaita Vedanta, who shares talks and Advaita Satsang.
In 1988, he met his future wife, Katie Davis, who had similarly experienced the miracle of Self-liberation. They immediately recognized their meeting as sacred and committed their lives to deepening in Loving Presence. Now an inseparable Spirit, they adventured the awakening in private until 1999 and then began to share the Truth of Being from their home.
Soon, they were traveling up and down the West Coast of North America to meet with others. In 2004, Sundance and Katie moved to Maui to marry and write the realization of Beloved Being. Side by side their books took form and expression. Currently, they are traveling throughout our world to share the realization of Free Spirit and Awake Joy in the form of Advaita Satsang.
Sundance and Katie are presently offering Free Spirit and Awake Joy Talks, Advaita Satsang, Advaita Satsang Intensives or retreats in Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Langley, Olympia, Washington; Portland, Ashland, Oregon; Berkeley and Ross, California; Scottsdale, Sedona, Flagstaff, Arizona, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; Dallas, Texas; Boulder, Ridgway and Telluride, Colorado; Richmond Hill and Toronto Ontario, Canada; Chicago, Illinois; Haiku, Maui Meadows, Kihei on the island of Maui, Hawaii; Honolulu, Kailua on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Carlsbad and Los Angeles California.
Sundance Burke
"Our essential Presence does not need to be understood any more than the smile of a child, the beauty of a flower, or the splendor of a sunset. The nature of such encounters is self-evident and the intellect does not serve to enhance such moments. In fact, if you bring thinking to a sunset, you are likely to miss its sacredness and beauty altogether. Without thinking, you are taken in. With thinking, you are seeking entrance."
