Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Bringing the Light of Universal Intelligence to Personal Needs and Boundaries

Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Bringing the Light of Universal Intelligence to Personal Needs and Boundaries
Wednesday, May 22, 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 clarity to our experience of personal needs and boundaries. In the realm of our relationships, we might become aware of what we’re not getting, how we want to be treated, and how we want others to change so we feel safer and more comfortable.
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.
As you may know, these needs and boundary requests sometimes become a point of friction. We long to be treated with love and care and welcomed just as we are, yet we realize we can’t control what others do and say. People might respond with resistance if they feel triggered in response to our requests, leading to frustration, hurt, and disconnection.
Not getting the emotional support we want from others can be a source of great pain for all involved.
In this gathering, we’ll open to the direct experience of needs and boundaries. With compassion, we’ll unpack how it feels in our bodies to need what we’re not getting and trace it back to include the stories from our childhoods.
We’ll address the practicalities of when and how to express ourselves to others. And we’ll follow the invitation into our own vulnerability, including compassion for our own and others’ struggles, finding safety within, and staying in connection even when it’s hard.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.
Come with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends.

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.
“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
“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
“Your work is a bridge between practical daily life and Supreme Reality.” ~Henrique N.
“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.
“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…”
