Wake Up To Reality (WUTR) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that serves individuals who are passionate about spiritual awakening, consciousness, and practical, embodied practices for living a life of love and service to Truth.
James Wood, author of Ten Paths to Freedom: Spiritual Awakening Made Simple, has guided students since 2002 to discover the fundamental Reality of our essential nature. Having awakened after years of study, James began to express a spontaneous teaching whose form continues to evolve.
His message is that awakening is possible for anyone committed to finding Truth. Known for his compassionate and practical teaching style, James offers a modern, integrated vehicle for others to use as a means of growth in consciousness leading to awakening.
Aly Waibel is an experienced practitioner of meditation, inquiry, and embodiment practices. She holds a Ph.D. in Teaching, Learning and Sociocultural Studies with a focus on lifelong learning, somatic learning and contemplative education. As one of the first certified teachers of Stanford Medical School’s Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) program, she has delivered and designed educational programs for teachers, healthcare workers, therapists and community leaders.
James and Aly are married and love living in Central Oregon with their adorable pups.
The Heart of Compassion
Compassion dictates that we relieve suffering. Who among us isn’t moved by daily news stories and images of misery across the globe?
But most of us probably feel that there’s not much we can do about it.
If I see an image of a starving child, an oppressive regime, or a grieving mother—what am I to do?
There is something you can do. You can work to eliminate your own suffering.
In fact, it’s the only way.
On this website, you will find resources to help you do just that.
It is our wish that you find the world’s solutions in your own heart, in the light of your own awakened understanding.
We are committed to helping you. Please join us in this effort to end suffering, one person at a time.
Many Blessings,
James and Aly
