The HeartAwake Center was established for people seeking to realize the spiritual awakening that is at the heart of the world's great religious traditions. Alan F. Zundel, the director, gives talks and guidance at regular meditation sessions in Eugene, Oregon (USA). Alan began his spiritual quest as a young man in the 1970s, an experience reflected in his novel Heart Awakening. After some initial awakening experiences when he began practicing meditation, he rooted himself in the Christian contemplative spiritual tradition and continued to work on his spiritual development while raising two children with his wife Marianne and working as a college professor. An encounter with the spiritual teacher Adyashanti in 2002 was a turning point in his spiritual journey, and Alan began offering talks after being invited to speak at a San Francisco Buddhist sangha in 2005. Some of Alan's writings may be found at at his related website.
