New: The Heart of Presence - Satsang with Marlies Myoku Cocheret

Monday evenings from 6:30 - 8:00pm in our Meditation Room

April 7, 14 and 21, May 26, June 2, 16, 23 and 30.


Satsang is Sanskrit for 'Being in the company of truth’. We will come together in guided Meditation, a Talk and Sharing.


These times demand a strong Presence if we are to care as Love for the world right now. So let’s come together in truth and love, to connect as our true nature for ourselves and our world. This brings forward wisdom and compassion. Then naturally right action follows. 


Marlies Myoku offers a profound invitation to connect with the silence within—a gateway to awakening, embodiment, and sovereignty. Her life’s work is devoted to guiding individuals in transcending limitations, rediscovering their true nature, and embracing a life rooted as Love and Truth. With her blend of kindness and directness, she becomes a lighthouse for those navigating the path of love and liberation.


Trained as a psychologist in the Netherlands, Marlies is a certified Hakomi Therapist, Psychodrama Therapist and Tantric Educator. Her unique approach draws on over 35 years of experience working one-on-one with individuals and 24 years of teaching in Adyashanti’s lineage. Her teachings weave together depth, clarity, and compassion, offering transformative guidance for anyone seeking to step into their fullest self.


Through her work, Marlies inspires and empowers you to meet the silence that you are, awakening to the boundless potential within. To explore more about Marlies and her offerings, visit marliescocheret.com.

The vision of the Appalachian Dharma & Meditation Center is to facilitate a community of Buddhist practice that fosters the integration of wisdom and compassion. Our aim, as individuals and as a community, is to cultivate insight into the nature of mind and reality and overcome ego-orientated ways of being. We are a nonsectarian Buddhist center that offers weekly programs in Taoism and Western Buddhism.
