Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Freedom Beyond the Inner Critic
June 4, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Freedom Beyond the Inner Critic
Wednesday, June 4, 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.
Our focus for this meeting is on the harsh voice and false identity of the inner critic. Many of us are aware of this strong and negative habitual voice that appears in our minds. This voice can be shaming, militant, perfectionistic, and demanding.
Although its intention is often to protect us, it makes us contract into a separate and limited identity, turns us against our truth, and traps us by its high standards. We may not realize how stressful it is to live under its control.
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.
In our time together, we’ll unpack the inner critic thought pattern with understanding and compassion. We’ll learn to identify when it has taken hold, and feel into the fear, grief, and anger that lie at its core.
We’ll practice untangling our attention from what it tells us so we have the space to connect with what is true and alive in us. As our attachment to this voice softens, we’ll relax into ways of living that are kind and loving toward all that arises…and more aligned with the unity of all.
How do you work toward goals without the inner critic driving you? How do you function when when this critical and negative noise subsides? When the inner critic is in charge, we’re out of touch with our vulnerability, truth, and deep knowing. We’ll welcome these suppressed parts of ourselves into the light of loving awareness where they can flourish, innocent and free…
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll explore the freedom that’s possible, here and now, beyond the contraction of the inner critic.
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…”
