Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Core Practices for Peace and Happiness

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.
Our focus for this meeting is on core practices for peace and happiness in everyday life. These are the five core practices I describe in my book Suffering Is Optional. Practices give us tools to rely on when strong conditioned patterns take hold and help us to integrate our deep love for freedom into the moments of our actual human lives.
As we explore and practice loving self-care for the patterns that arise in us, we realize these old stories don’t accurately define who we are. Then we’re much more available to fully experience life as it is in the present moment…unlimited and free…
Do you want peace and freedom to be your living reality? Do you want to authentically connect with yourself and others? Then practice now with whatever habitual reactions appear. Let every story, emotion, and identity come into the light of awareness so you know exactly how you end up feeling limited and triggered.
No longer veiled by conditioning, you’ll expand into spaciousness, fresh responding, and an infinite capacity for love.
Here are the five core practices:
- Turning toward your experience;
- The safe haven of being aware;
- Losing interest in thoughts;
- Welcoming feelings; and
- The sacred return to loving aware presence.
These practices are like breadcrumbs on the spiritual path to support you in finding your way back from the illusion of made-up stories to the realization of the truth of your essential self. You discover that who you are has always been whole, fully alive, and overflowing as love… You discover the freedom to be yourself fully.
In our time together, we’ll unpack these five practices so they feel accessible to all. Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll open to all that is with compassion and love as we 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 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…”
