About Eli Jaxon-Bear
Eli Jaxon-Bear is an American spiritual teacher and author of several ground-breaking books, including Wake Up and Roar, Sudden Awakening, and Fixation to Freedom: The Enneagram of Liberation. He lives in Ashland, Oregon, with his wife of fifty years, Gangaji, who is a world-renowned spiritual teacher. Before he met his final teacher, Sri H.W.L. Poonja - Papaji, in 1990, he was best known for his new model of the Enneagram and Ego and synthesizing a radically new approach for training therapists during a decade of leading the certification program at Esalen Institute. Now he infuses his mastery and depth of experience with his teacher’s transmission of a silent mind and open heart, opening the possibility for final liberation through self-realization.
Eli has taught hundreds of retreats all over the world, working with thousands of people to discover their true nature. His mastery is reflected in his capacity to work with individuals directly during the retreats and courses, both to identify the correct ego fixation, and to assist the student to wake up from the trance of their personal identity.
In a clear and simple way Eli carefully explains the direct path to freedom and love. He shows how a life of true fulfillment is possible for everyone.
