Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Unpacking Hurt and Disappointment
Wednesday, March 4, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
Noon Eastern, 5pm BST, 6pm CET
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 bringing wise inquiry to the sticky experiences of hurt and disappointment. These are longheld stories entwined with emotions that can be so painful! And they feel intensely personal.
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 the spirit of liberation from all contractions of separation, we’ll open the door into these experiences and unpack them.
Both hurt and disappointment are fundamentally relational. We feel them in reaction to other people—what they should or shouldn’t do—and these stories can keep us stuck for a very long time.
Holding onto them, we project out our young needs and feel disappointed and hurt when they’re not met. These experiences take up residence in our minds, bodies, and nervous systems. Can you feel the tension and heaviness?
The medicine for hurt and disappointment is a brave and loving inner exploration. This is what brings us to clear seeing about these difficult experiences so they can soften. Together, we’ll feel into our direct experience and offer loving attention to the young parts longing to be seen and met.
We’ll open to insights and tools that help to loosen the grip of our tender needs. And we’ll invite the fragments of ourselves, still looking for love “out there,” to be held and welcomed into the light of our unlimited capacity for loving awareness. We start to feel empowered, spacious, and free.
You are unconditionally welcome just as you are for this exploration. 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…”
