Joan Tollifson writes and talks about what remains when everything that can be doubted drops away. She points beyond belief to the simplicity of what is. Joan has an affinity with Advaita, Zen, and radical nonduality, but she belongs to no tradition or lineage. She has lived in northern California, northwestern New York, Chicago, and she now lives in southern Oregon. Joan is the author of two books: Awake in the Heartland: The Ecstasy of What Is (2003) and Bare-Bones Meditation: Waking Up from the Story of My Life (1996). She is currently at work (or play) on two new books.
