Read more about Loch’s internationally recognized teachings.

Awakening is not about trying to transcend our humanity but about showing up fully with our quirks and struggles.

Loch Kelly

Loch is featured in the new film, Awakening Mind “Know Thyself,” which is available now on YouTube.

From the filmmakers: “The Awakening Mind Film Series has embarked on a global journey, capturing the wisdom of teachers, visionaries, and scientists from diverse disciplines, philosophies, and traditions. They all point, with remarkable similarity and intelligence, to this moment in time as an extraordinary juncture—an invitation for humanity to experience a higher evolution.”
