Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Working with the Reactivity of Our Emotions
Wednesday, July 10, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
Noon Eastern, 5pm BST
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 is the laboratory as we open to the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and the right now experience of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on slowing down and staying grounded so we can work with the reactivity of our emotions.
We all know what it’s like to be taken over by emotions. We’re caught in the mind’s narrative about what’s happening, and our bodies are tied up in knots. Then our actions follow from this limited lens, and here we are again, in a familiar place of drama and frustration. Sound familiar?
Bringing spaciousness to our emotions changes everything. We slow down…pause…and embrace the art of getting curious about our emotional experience. We take the time to investigate emotions as they arise—with great precision. This careful meeting of what is breathes freshness into every moment.
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.
We get to know our emotional reactivity so well that we begin to find space—to ground ourselves in clarity, understanding, and love for all. We recognize how the stories of emotion grab us and feel the tendencies to act in ways that come from fear and hurt…rather than from openheartedness. We notice how these stories close down our hearts and lead us into separation.
We need the power of community when it comes to our emotions. Together, we’ll take our time to breathe, relax, and feel into the safety of our relational space. We’ll tenderly explore our emotional experience in detail, including the nervous system, body sensations and energies, familiar narratives, and the actions that follow. And we’ll feel into and practice new and loving ways of being, within ourselves and with others.
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll bring a new level of awareness to emotions so they no longer hijack our capacity for wise responding. Infusing our emotional experience with heart-centered awareness, we move forward with expanded capacities for presence..kindness…and intimate connection…
You are unconditionally welcome just as you are. Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

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…”
