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

Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Getting to the Core of Early Trauma Patterns
Wednesday, July 2, 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 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 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.
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 haven’t had the support we need to regulate our nervous systems so we can feel balanced and grounded in ourselves and in life.
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. We support each other to meet them with deep acceptance and care, and have the space to realize there is so much more to life than our patterns!
Many of our conditioned 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.
In our time together, we’ll practice staying grounded in our present moment experience, and from here we turn our attention inward to recognize our mind-made limited stories from the past that create personal suffering.
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 loving community—to find our way home. We lean into our shared being—and our shared breath—to support us.
Our gathering includes guided meditation, heartfelt teachings, practical tools, and Q&A.
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. I look forward to being with you!

Friends are saying:
“What you’re pointing to is so difficult to talk about in words, but you describe it so brilliantly and give such practical, actionable steps to follow that I truly, deeply get it. I just cannot express to you how transformative your approach has been for me. I am inhabiting my life with so much more peace and openness, flow and freedom.” ~Sandra Joseph, Broadway star and author of Unmasking What Matters
“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.
“I felt bathed in presence on the retreat. Your clarity and presentation style was lovely. I found the guided meditations to be very helpful. I appreciate how relatable you are in the group, how you don’t set yourself apart.” ~Denis N.
“Thank you so much for your teachings and for all the compassion and love you transmit to me, and so many others. Your teachings are a gift of grace and love.” ~Pat Brown
“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…”
