Online Gathering—Getting to the Core of Early Trauma

May 5, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am

Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Getting to the Core of Early Trauma

Thursday, May 5, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
on Zoom
Noon Eastern, 5pm GMT

Recording will be available and sent to all who register.

The Coming Home Together 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 how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness.

Our focus for this meeting is giving our compassionate attention to how disruption in our early relationships affects us. If we felt unsafe, rejected, unseen, or disconnected early in our lives, we develop an identity that we are unworthy, not good enough, or wounded beyond repair. And we grow up trying to figure out how to cope with the sense that something is missing. Some of the ways we do that are overachieving, perfectionism, people pleasing, self-judgment, or hiding from life.

Together, we create a field of safe space to explore these tender parts of ourselves. As we discover we can meet them with deep acceptance and care, we have space to realize there is so much more to life!

Our time together includes guided meditation, teachings for understanding our inner experience, practical tools, and heartfelt conversation. We turn our attention inward to recognize our mind-made limits and the stories that create personal suffering.

How do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What do you do with feeling disappointed, hurt, or bored? What about longstanding conditioned patterns that feel stuck? What about needs, desires, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations.

You’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that bring struggle to your life. Many of these patterns have plagued us for years. We hear about freedom as a possibility, but we just don’t know how to find our way there. We feel stuck in the painful sense of separation…from ourselves and the sacredness of all of Life.

Finally, we realize that we can’t go it alone. Our disconnection from our divine nature happened in the context of relationship so we need to practice together—in a supportive and loving community—to find our way home. Come with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends.

Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

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…”
~Gail
