Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Feeling Safe: Gateway to Awakening
August 20, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Feeling Safe: Gateway to Awakening
Wednesday, August 20, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
Noon Eastern, 5pm BST, 6pm CET
on Zoom
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and everyday living of the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.
Our focus for this meeting is on what it means to feel safe and the role of safety in realizing our true nature.
Many of us grow up not feeling emotionally safe in our families. The effects of this lack of safety can be far-reaching. We resort to strategies to cope and survive such as trying to figure everything out in our heads, judging ourselves and others (the inner critic), people pleasing, addiction, and perfectionism.
And with no way of learning how to care for the emotions that naturally arise, we disconnect from the most tender parts of our experience.
Over time, we develop entrenched views of ourselves and others that are fear-based and limited. This is how we feel separate from ourselves and from life…and as we all know, this is not a satisfying way to live.
Trapped in these identities, we long for wholeness, but our search gets derailed by the inner mistrust we carry.
The realization of our true nature involves a shift of identification from a contracted sense of the personal self into the boundless field of alive presence. The tensions around fear and mistrust relax completely…and if they temporarily arise, they come and go without attachment. We remain as peace.
In our time together, in loving community, we’ll explore emotional safety. What is it? How do we find it? And how does it support the realization of who we are beyond any mind-made patterns?
You are welcome with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions—and simply to share sacred space in community with like-minded friends. Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you!

Friends are saying:
“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy. No longer a slave to external circumstances and inner chatter. Loving life the way it is.” ~Susan R.
“I liked the sense of trust, profound acceptance, safety, unconditional love and support that Gail brought to us. The course made me realize the importance of being involved in a community of people dedicated to the most important thing to me, Healing and Awakening. I just cannot do it alone!” ~Aline B.
“Your work is a bridge between practical daily life and Supreme Reality.” ~Henrique N.
“You radiate such warmth, kindness, beauty and wisdom. I had been stuck for so long and by listening to your sage advice, am finally starting to see and feel the light. Your light helps us to shine our own.” ~Julie Desmarais
“At any moment, within the field of your own experience, there is an inner sanctuary of presence and stillness. You access this space by shifting your attention away from the jumble of thoughts, feelings, stories, fears, and external input such as others’ opinions. You simply turn inward—beyond all mind movement—and be.
In no time at all, you find the ground of being, the light of living vibration that’s here in every moment. It’s timeless, which means it’s eternally present, and all-embracing as the unity of all. Don’t be afraid of this vast love. Fall into its arms…”
