SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—The Art of Intimate and Authentic Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nThe Art of Intimate and Authentic Relationships \nWednesday\, November 5\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living\, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality. \nOur focus for this meeting is on the art of intimate and authentic connecting in our relationships. And yes\, it’s an art! We’ll open to the messiness\, confusion\, and ever present possibility for presence and heart. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nOur connections with others offer the precious opportunity for sharing the beingness of our true nature and embodying infinite compassion that welcomes all. How open can we be? \nIf we don’t feel free to be our authentic selves in our relationships\, then a conditioned pattern has taken hold. We lose our grounding in love and openness\, and we feel the pain of disconnection. \nWe’re identifying with limiting stories that tell us we’re not good enough or need to protect ourselves. Then we project our fears and needs onto others\, hoping for things to improve\, but getting familiar results such as abandonment\, rejection\, and not being seen. \nAt the same time\, others may be projecting their fears and needs onto us. That’s how we end up in a relationship dance that feels unfulfilling. \nNo wonder we feel lonely and isolated. We’re relating through patterns and not actually meeting each other for the intimate and loving connection we long for. \nWe learn about relating with others early on in our lives\, and for some of us\, the message is that we need to suppress our authenticity in order to feel safe. Instead\, we try to connect by pleasing others\, or we give up altogether and settle for disconnection. Navigating relationships can be confusing—and frustrating! \nCome and explore the invitation to see through the veils of our conditioning that appear in our relationships. We’ll turn inward to lovingly meet the tender places in us that we’re afraid to express. \nThen we’ll feel into the possibility of showing up with others—innocent and free—having the courage to inhabit what is naturally true and alive in us. \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll explore the limiting narratives we bring to our relationships and practice how to move beyond them—into freedom and authenticity. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, November 5\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“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. \n“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. \n“Your work is a bridge between practical daily life and Supreme Reality.” ~Henrique N. \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 \n  \n\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. \nIn 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…”\n~Gail \nGail Brenner\, Ph.D. is your guide on this journey. She is a clinical psychologist and lover of truth with a fire that burns brightly. She brings to this work years of experience with individuals and groups and is known for creating the safety and trust needed for this deeper exploration. \nimage

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Fear\, Anxiety\, and Trust in the Unfolding of Life
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFear\, Anxiety\, and Trust in the Unfolding of Life \nWednesday\, October 22\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living\, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality. \nOur focus for this meeting is on  fear and freedom from fear. Do fear and anxiety grab you?  \nThese are essential emotions to investigate on the path of awakening. Because if left unexplored\, they pull our attention into our spinning minds and create a sense of separation from ourselves\, each other\, and the natural unfolding of life.  \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nWhen taken over by fear\, we forget that we can rest as Being. Rather than trusting the effortless flow of all things\, we worry\, control\, and judge. And we lose compassion for ourselves and others. \nWhen fear and anxiety rule\, believing their stories limits us in life. Thoughts filled with stress and negativity will be our living experience. We dwell in our heads—while we unknowingly overlook the here-and-now presence of infinite peace and love. \nConsider the disconnection expressed in so many ways in our world today that creates conflict\, aggression\, division\, and painful othering. Fear is at the core. \nFear is a survival mechanism that is built into the human brain and nervous system. Yet\, the realization of our true nature invites us to explore beyond its protective voice. In our gathering together\, we’ll explore how fear\, and its cousin anxiety\, show up in the body and the stories they tell us that keep us rattled.  \nWhen we believe what anxious thoughts tell us\, we’re living in a fear-fueled fantasy in our minds\, disconnected from aliveness\, awareness\, and truth here and now. We’ll investigate to see if these stories we live by are actually true. How do we live if we’re not guided by fear and anxiety? Who are we in this boundless freedom? \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, you’ll discover the potential—already in you—to be fully alive in your life\, free beyond the limits of fear. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, October 22\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“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 \n“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. \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. \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 \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 \n\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. \nIn no time at all\, you find the ground of being\, the light of living vibration that’s here in every moment.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together FREE Gathering—Core Practices for Peace and Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together FREE Online Gathering:\nCore Practices for Peace and Happiness\n \nEvent is free; all are welcome \nWednesday\, October 15\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThere is usually a charge for these gatherings\, but this one is free as an offering to you. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers safe space for trauma healing and awakened living\, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality. \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n Please register in advance for this free gathering by clicking here:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/7edoaGqDQdqTBM9bE8ytrw  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join the gathering. \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nOur focus for this meeting is on 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 embody our deep love for freedom in the moments of our actual human lives.  \nWith practices\, we become conscious\, aware\, and loving\, feeling more connected in our relationships with ourselves and others.  \nHere are the five core practices: \n\nTurning toward your experience;\nThe safe haven of being aware;\nLosing interest in thoughts;\nWelcoming feelings; and\nThe sacred return to loving aware presence.\n\nThese practices are like breadcrumbs on the spiritual path to support you in finding your way back from the illusion of made-up\, limiting stories to the realization of the truth of your essential self. \nDo 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. \nYou discover that who you are has always been whole\, fully alive\, and overflowing as love… You discover the freedom to be yourself fully. No longer veiled by conditioning\, you’ll expand into spaciousness\, fresh responding\, and an infinite capacity for love. \nIn 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 kindness and compassion as we find our way home.  \nCome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, October 15\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n Please register in advance for this free gathering by clicking here:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/7edoaGqDQdqTBM9bE8ytrw  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join the gathering. \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Timeless Being...Always Fresh and New
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nTimeless Being…Always Fresh and New\n \nWednesday\, October 1\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe 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. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nOur focus for this meeting is on time and timelessness. The past and future are mind-made concepts that create a sense of fear and lack. When we live in time\, we feel the weight of our past history and worries about the future as we attempt to live in presence. Our culture speaks to the benefits of being in the present moment. That’s because here is where we have the direct experience of life rather than the stories about our lives that are created in our minds. \nOur true nature as consciousness is timeless…no memory\, no past\, no time for problems to form\, no time for suffering\, no future fear…and no mind. There is just This\, the alive reality of the now\, directly experienced as it is. Thought isn’t needed\, in fact\, thinking about what’s happening takes us away from the reality of it. \nRealizing timelessness\, we know that every moment is fresh and new…so alive! There is always the opportunity to recognize wonder\, delight\, mystery\, and the unknown. There is no same-old\, same-old\, no boredom. Only This…This…This…with no resistance whatsoever. \nAs a being in human form\, the recognition of timelessness leaves us without an anchor in the known. Free of the limitation of thought\, we’re available to inspiration\, creativity\, and infinite knowing. Even if thoughts are present\, the mind is vast and open\, empty and alert. \nCome explore how time limits us in past and future and discover reality free of time. We leave the tunnel vision of old\, constricting ideas as we expand into our true home of unbounded consciousness. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nCome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, October 1\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—The Sacred Return: Awareness as a Way of Life
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nThe Sacred Return: Awareness as a Way of Life \nWednesday\, September 24\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.  \nOur focus for this meeting is on awareness as a way of life. When we are consciously aware of our inner experience\, our whole life starts to make sense. As we lovingly turn toward the emotions\, thoughts\, and sensations and energies in the body\, we realize the direct experience of what drives our conditioned tendencies. And this awareness changes everything. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nWhen I first began the practice of inner awareness years ago\, I was shocked at what my mind was saying and how I felt—experiences I hadn’t realized were present. But once I knew\, I was able to get out of the rut of conditioning and into the world of potential for healing and opening…beyond anything I thought was possible. \n When we turn our attention inward\, we realize that we can also explore the being aware experience itself. Here we touch into the vibration of consciousness\, the formless aware alive Beingness that’s the source of all. We realize that nothing in form is separate from this aliveness\, which shifts our experience of everyone and everything toward the embodiment of compassion\, kindness\, and love. \nInner awareness as a way of life transforms everything—our interactions with “others\,” how we make choices in life\, how we relate to ourselves when we’re triggered\, our opinions\, expectations\, judgments\, and fears. \n Through guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll explore turning toward our inner experience\, our resistances to doing that\, and the gifts of staying consciously grounded in the here-and-now. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—The Spiritual Path to Inner Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nThe Spiritual Path to Inner Freedom \nWednesday\, August 27\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe 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. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nOur focus for this meeting is on  the spiritual path. What is the path? What are we looking for? How can we meet the twists and turns along the way? \nIn this gathering\, we will take a bird’s eye view of the spiritual path to understand what it is…and isn’t. If you are on the path of awakening\, something has lit up in your being that invites you into a deep exploration of all that is. We take our blinders off\, and bring everything that arises under the microscope of awareness\, authenticity\, and love. We’re motivated to see things clearly as they are and not clouded by the mind’s illusions.  \nThis is the path to inner freedom. \nWe call this passion for inner freedom the pathless path. We’re not getting something we don’t already have. We’re not fixing what we think might be broken in us. We’re not waiting for divine intervention.  \nThe pathless path is recognizing what is already here. Yet\, as we all know\, our attention can be pulled into familiar patterns that make us feel limited and separate. We believe our stories of inadequacy\, lack\, and fear. We feel lost in our minds and emotions and disconnected from the truth of being. How do we find our way home to the place of freedom…that we never left?   \nWhen we explore outside our familiar stories and mental patterns\, we find\, shining brilliantly\, the timeless essence of boundless peace\, freedom\, and love. This is you…who you’ve always been despite any stories that tell you otherwise. The truth was only temporarily hidden.  \nCome and explore the spiritual path to inner freedom in safe and supportive community. With guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll lovingly open to the mind’s conditioned ideas that convince us we’re not free and discover the way into the ever-present possibility of peace…the silent stillness of infinite being… \nYou are welcome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space in community with like-minded friends. Together\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you! \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Feeling Safe: Gateway to Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFeeling Safe: Gateway to Awakening \nWednesday\, August 20\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.

The effects of this lack of safety can be far-reaching. We resort to strategies to cope and survive such as trying to figure everything out in our heads\, judging ourselves and others (the inner critic)\, people pleasing\, addiction\, and perfectionism.  \nAnd with no way of learning how to care for the emotions that naturally arise\, we disconnect from the most tender parts of our experience.  \nOver time\, we develop entrenched views of ourselves and others that are fear-based and limited. This is how we feel separate from ourselves and from life…and as we all know\, this is not a satisfying way to live. \nTrapped in these identities\, we long for wholeness\, but our search gets derailed by the inner mistrust we carry. \nThe realization of our true nature involves a shift of identification from a contracted sense of the personal self into the boundless field of alive presence. The tensions around fear and mistrust relax completely…and if they temporarily arise\, they come and go without attachment. We remain as peace.  \nIn our time together\, in loving community\, we’ll explore emotional safety. What is it? How do we find it? And how does it support the realization of who we are beyond any mind-made patterns? \nYou are welcome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space in community with like-minded friends. Together\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you! \nQuestions?

How can we bring this deep knowing into how we show up with ourselves\, others\, and life situations? This is what we’ll explore in our time together.  \n Awakening to our true nature means that we no longer identify as a person who is limited and separate. With this shift\, we begin to notice that our bodies are naturally more relaxed\, our minds are free\, and our hearts overflow with gratitude and generosity. We feel oneness with all\, which impacts our view of ourselves\, others\, and life situations.  \nThe invitation into the embodiment of awakening is available to everyone. Even as we feel identified with our conditioned patterns and explore what remains of them\, we can still practice aligning our bodies\, minds\, and hearts with their natural state. \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll explore each of these realms of our human experience and practice embodying our essential freedom as a lived experience in every moment.  \nLet’s practice the direct experience of living this freedom! \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions?

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. \nOur focus for this meeting is on the body as a gateway for healing and awakening. What is your relationship to your body? Your body image? The physical sensations and energies that arise? Numbness and dissociation? Your nervous system? \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nThere is much to be explored when we bring our attention to the physical realm of our experience. We find the root of emotions\, the residue of old habits and traumas…and the possibility for the free flow of the vibration of life as it appears through the body. We realize we can live in daily life in our bodies\, fully experiencing all that is.  \nMany of us live in our heads—without much awareness of our physicality. And when we open to experiences occurring in our bodies\, we find hidden contractions\, habitual ways of being\, and places that feel stuck or shut down. \nLet’s explore how we disconnect from life…how does the sense of separation live in our bodies and nervous systems? Then we’ll bring awareness to these body experiences to liberate them from unconsciousness and the limits of our stories. \nBecause sensation without a story is simply life energy…without interpretation\, past\, or future. We begin to enjoy this embodied aliveness! \nIn our sacred time together\, we’ll bring space\, breath\, and deep compassion to our body experiences. Through guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll turn toward our bodies\, holding all that arises in the infinite freedom of loving presence. We’ll discuss specific tools and practices for body awareness\, informed by wisdom traditions. \nAll are welcome as we lovingly embrace our humanness…and expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Wise Inquiry Into Emotions

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. \nOur focus for this meeting is on bringing wise inquiry to emotions. In the timeless formless infinite field of pure being\, what we call emotions might appear\, but presence remains undisturbed. Yet\, we all feel emotions\, and they are a normal part of the experience of being human. If you feel stuck in limitation and confusion\, emotions are probably involved. Met with care and unconditional welcoming\, they are a gateway into realizing our true nature. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nCaught in our limiting desires to protect and control\, we’re pulled to avoid our emotions. We’re afraid of being overwhelmed by them\, and we feel we don’t have the skills needed to actually turn inward and be with them. This creates an inner war that breeds anxiety and discontent. \nIn our time together\, we’ll practice inquiring into emotions. With openness and courage\, we turn toward our emotions\, and get to know how they live in our minds\, bodies\, and actions. This is the path to discovering freedom\, no matter how many times our emotions overtake us. \n We value the power of safe and loving community for this exploration because we need others for support and nervous system regulation. Resisting emotions is isolating and reinforces shame. In our time together\, in the spirit of peace and freedom\, we’ll open up to our experience of emotions. Because if we continue to be entangled in their stories\, we will continue to suffer.  \n Through guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll take our stand as loving aware presence and learn how to practice welcoming emotions freely\, taking our hands off the wheel and allowing their full liberation.  \nYou are unconditionally welcome just as you are. Together\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, July 23\, 2024 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\nOnce we’re no longer interested in using the mind to define ourselves and our reality\, we’re immediately present\, open to all that is\, free of mind-created fear and angst. We’re available to actually live the fullness of who we are—in our relationships with ourselves\, others\, and life as it unfolds in every moment. This is embodied freedom.  \nCompletely losing interest in the mind reveals the direct\, abiding experience of peace beyond peace…  \nIn our time together\, we’ll look at the ways the mind works\, including judgments\, opinions\, comparisons\, stories\, problem-solving\, and general nonstop commentary. What is behind the mind’s functioning? What does it have to do with feeling separate? And how do we unattach from the contents of the mind? (Hint: it’s not about making thoughts stop.) \nThrough guided meditation\, we’ll experiment with letting go of the mind’s stories and instead rest here…in open spaciousness…in pure loving awareness free of thinking…accessing the power of simply being present. \nWe move from what the mind tells us about “reality” to realize the direct experience of liberation here and now…with a radiant mind that is clear and open like the sky…lit up with wonder and delight… \nWe come together in the sacred space of loving community for this deep exploration\, including guided meditation\, teachings\, helpful tools\, and Q&A. Bring all of you—your fears\, doubt\, shame\, questions—and joy. All is welcome! \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, July 16\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“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. \n“I liked the sense of trust\, profound acceptance\, safety\, unconditional love and support that Gail brought to us.

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 \n\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. \nIn 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.

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. \nOur focus for this meeting is on turning toward our early trauma patterns—with compassionate and loving hearts—investigating how disruption in our family environments when were young creates limiting ways of being that we carry into adulthood. \nAnd we’ll shine the light of our awareness on the truth of who we are\, our essential wholeness that has never been touched by anything that’s happened… \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n  \nIf you felt unsafe\, rejected\, unseen\, or disconnected early in your life\, it’s common to develop a conditioned identity that you are not good enough or broken beyond repair. Your attention goes into your mind and away from your heart\, trying to figure out how to cope with the sense that something is wrong or missing.  \nA seed starts growing in us when we realize how much our conditioned patterns mask our happiness. 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\, others\, and the sacredness of all of Life. \nAs we deepen in the holy work of trauma healing\, we learn to care for the painful places that live in us. As the contractions of our trauma soften\, there’s space to blossom into ourselves. Almost like a miracle\, we begin to experience happiness\, wonder\, creativity\, and authentic relationships. \n Together\, we create a field of safe space to explore the ways we get stuck. We’ll turn toward our inner experience with compassion\, care\, and unconditional acceptance. And we’ll realize there is so much more to life than our patterns! \n Our time together includes guided meditation\, teachings\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation. \nFinally\, 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. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Fear\, Anxiety\, and Trust in the Unfolding of Life
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFear\, Anxiety\, and Trust in the Unfolding of Life \nWednesday\, June 25\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe 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. \nOur focus for this meeting is on  fear and freedom from fear. Do fear and anxiety disturb you?  \nThese are essential emotions to investigate on the path of awakening. If left unexplored\, they pull our attention into our minds and a sense of separation. We forget that we can rest as Being which trusts the natural unfolding of life. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nWhen fear and anxiety rule\, believing their stories limits us in life. Thoughts filled with worry and negativity will be our living experience. We dwell in our heads—while we unknowingly overlook the here-and-now presence of infinite peace and love. \nFear is behind the disconnection expressed in so many ways in our world today that create conflict\, aggression\, division\, and painful othering. \nFear is a survival mechanism that is built into the human brain and nervous system. Yet\, the realization of our true nature invites us to explore beyond its protective voice. In our gathering together\, we’ll explore how fear\, and its cousin anxiety\, show up in the body and the stories they tell us that keep us rattled.  \nWhen we believe what anxious thoughts tell us\, we’re living in a fear-fueled fantasy in our minds\, disconnected from aliveness\, awareness\, and truth here and now. We’ll investigate to see if these stories we live by are actually true. How do we live if we’re not guided by fear and anxiety? Who are we in this boundless freedom? \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, you’ll discover the potential—already in you—to be fully alive in your life\, free beyond the limits of fear. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Sharing Presence in Our Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nSharing Presence in Our Relationships \nWednesday\, June 11\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe 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. \nOur focus for this meeting is on  bringing awareness to the shared field of presence in our relationships.  \nIn any interaction\, there is the energy of the shared field that is created by the people who are present. Often\, the field contains contractions and relational habits\, leading to resistance\, discomfort\, and longing for real connection.  \nAnd when we are consciously aware in the field\, there is the potential of just being together in presence\, holding whatever arises in openness and love…being infinite awareness together beyond any separation. This is the medicine for our experiences very early in life of feeling alone and disconnected—when we most needed others for safety and care. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nIn our time together\, we’ll begin to more deeply feel ourselves\, others\, and the shared relational field we create together. We’ll turn toward ourselves to recognize how we close off from authentic connection and the strategies we use to get our needs met. These are signs that a conditioned pattern has taken hold. \nWhen that happens\, we’re identifying with the limiting story that tells us we’re not good enough or need to be in control. Then we project our fears and needs onto others\, hoping for things to improve\, but getting familiar results such as abandonment\, rejection\, and not being seen. \nWe’ll also open to how we feel inside when we’re with others who are triggered or disconnected. When they project their fears and needs onto us\, we may end up in a relationship dance that feels unfulfilling. And with awareness\, we can hold even those contractions in love. \nCome and explore the invitation to see through the veils of conditioning that appear in our relationships. With attention to our shared relational field\, we’ll turn inward to lovingly welcome the tender places in us that we’re afraid to express. \nThen we’ll feel into the possibility of showing up with others—innocent and free—having the courage to inhabit what is naturally true and alive in us. \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll explore the possibility of intimate connection by bringing attention the shared space of pure being. Together\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, June 11\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Freedom Beyond the Inner Critic
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFreedom Beyond the Inner Critic \nWednesday\, June 4\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.  \nOur focus for this meeting is on the harsh voice and false identity of the inner critic. Many of us are aware of this strong and negative habitual voice that appears in our minds. This voice can be shaming\, militant\, perfectionistic\, and demanding. \nAlthough its intention is often to protect us\, it makes us contract into a separate and limited identity\, turns us against our truth\, and traps us by its high standards. We may not realize how stressful it is to live under its control. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nIn our time together\, we’ll unpack the inner critic thought pattern with understanding and compassion. We’ll learn to identify when it has taken hold\, and feel into the fear\, grief\, and anger that lie at its core.  \nWe’ll practice untangling our attention from what it tells us so we have the space to connect with what is true and alive in us. As our attachment to this voice softens\, we’ll relax into ways of living that are kind and loving toward all that arises…and more aligned with the unity of all. \nHow do you work toward goals without the inner critic driving you? How do you function when when this critical and negative noise subsides? When the inner critic is in charge\, we’re out of touch with our vulnerability\, truth\, and deep knowing. We’ll welcome these suppressed parts of ourselves into the light of loving awareness where they can flourish\, innocent and free… \n Through guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll explore the freedom that’s possible\, here and now\, beyond the contraction of the inner critic. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, June 4\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“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. \n“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.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering— Deep Listening as a Way to Be
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nDeep Listening as a Way to Be  \nWednesday\, May 28\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.  \nOur focus for this meeting is on  listening deeply within and recognizing inner knowing and alignment. If we’re driven by unexplored fear or need\, we look to the mind for guidance about how to live. Our programmed patterns are in charge as we get caught in endlessly trying to make decisions\, figure things out\, navigate our relationships\, and find our way in life. It’s stressful and often fruitless as a path to the peace we long for.  \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\n But there’s another completely different way to be\, which is to stop\, relax\, open\, and get curious. Then we’re poised for deep listening to what wants to be shown to us with nothing in the way. We take the position of alignment with life’s intelligence beyond the personal self\, not knowing anything\, and available to what appears.  \n Then we listen\, not from fear or lack\, but with every cell in our bodies\, with our hearts wide open\, alive and receptive in the deepest place in us that trusts life’s unfolding.  \n Together\, we’ll explore the practice of deep listening. When you let fear- and need-based tendencies be\, what does life have in store for you? What is on the horizon itching to be expressed through you? And what is in the way of aligning with these truths? \n We find that there is no such thing as making a decision. Rather\, we surrender and allow as things unfold naturally…in the small actions of everyday life as well as in larger shifts into our full potential.  \n Through guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll explore the possibility of letting go into the river of life as it’s flowing right now…along with the fears that may arise.  \nWe lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, May 28\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Who Are You? The Essential Question for Trauma Healing and Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nWho Are You? The Essential Question for Trauma Healing and Awakening \nWednesday\, May 21\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life is the laboratory as we open to the myth of the separate self\, unexplored trauma patterns\, and the right now experience of nondual reality. \nOur focus for this meeting is on the essential spiritual question\, “Who am I?” and why it matters to explore it. At the root of personal suffering lies the belief that who we are is a person with a history\, story\, needs\, preferences\, fears\, and a sense of lack. As long as we identify as this core belief\, we will view ourselves\, others\, and situations through the lens of these distorted filters.  \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nWhat does this mean for you and your life? Say that you’ve learned to define yourself as unworthy or inadequate. This belief will lead you to override your authentic dreams and desires\, as you focus on seeking approval from others in an attempt to feel whole. You’ll believe that happiness and fulfillment are not meant for you.  \nThis is how it works for any fear- or lack-based belief we think defines us. Attachment to any story\, emotion\, idea of freedom or enlightenment\, or ideas about the past or future will cause us to contract into a false sense of self and affect everything about our human experience in life. \nThe release from suffering occurs when our attachment to the mind completely disintegrates. We no longer look to any habitual beliefs to define us. We stop feeding stories and going to the mind’s content to know who we are or how to act. We no longer give any weight to hopes\, expectations\, should’s—or any thought that takes us away from Presence here and now. \n This is a radical shift into freedom\, expansion\, and not knowing—and into the boundless peace beyond all mental ideas that has always been here and available. It is knowing and living from pure aliveness.  \nA quote from poet William Blake describes this possibility: “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is\, Infinite.” By perception\, he means any ideas we believe to be true and real that veil our view. And what remains without them is infinite knowing…pure\, clear seeing. \nAre you interested in suffering less? We come together in the sacred space of loving community to explore the nature of identity and the freedom that’s possible when you know who you are—and who you’re not. Bring all of you—your fears\, doubt\, shame\, questions—and joy. All is welcome! \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, May 21\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Opening Endlessly Beyond Our Points of View
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nOpening Endlessly Beyond Our Points of View \nWednesday\, May 14 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life is the laboratory as we open to the myth of the separate self\, unexplored trauma patterns\, and the right now experience of nondual reality. \nOur focus for this meeting is on opening endlessly beyond our points of view. It’s the nature of our thinking minds to organize our experience of the world by contracting into opinions and judgments. We think we’re right and others are wrong and struggle when people and situations fail to match our views of what should be happening. For many of us\, this is normal life.  \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nWe ignore reality…overflowing with infinite possibilities…fully open and available to everything…and instead attach to specific views and outcomes. What is the effect? Disappointment\, frustration\, and disconnection from ourselves and others. \nIn our time together\, we’ll acknowledge the movements of our minds and examine the fear- and need-based origins of our viewpoints. Rather than taking them for granted\, we’ll question their validity and feel into how they affect us—and our relationships. \nThen we’ll explore the possibility of freedom from these mind movements by staying aligned with the natural unfolding of life. We’ll embrace curiosity\, wonder\, and deep acceptance of what is. What would it be like to live in this freedom? \nWe come together in the sacred space of loving community for this deep exploration\, including teachings\, guided meditation\, and Q&A. Bring all of you—your fears\, shame\, questions\, and confusion. All is welcome unconditionally! \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, May 14\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

What is your relationship to your body? Your body image? The physical sensations and energies that arise? \nThere is much to be explored when we bring our attention to the physical realm of our experience. We find the root of emotions\, the residue of old habits and traumas…and the possibility for the free flow of the vibration of life as it appears through the body. \nMany of us live in our heads—without much awareness of our physicality. And when we open to experiences occurring in our bodies\, we find hidden contractions\, habitual ways of being\, and places that feel stuck or shut down. \nLet’s explore how we create the sense of separation that lives in the body and nervous system. Then we’ll bring awareness to these body experiences to liberate them from unconsciousness and the limits of our stories. \nBecause sensation without a story is simply life energy…without interpretation\, past\, or future. \nIn our sacred time together\, we’ll bring space\, breath\, and deep compassion to our body experiences. We’ll notice how attuning to our shared nervous systems in our group can support grounding and connection. \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll hold all that arises in our bodies in the infinite freedom of loving presence. We’ll discuss specific tools and practices for body awareness\, informed by wisdom traditions. \nAll are welcome as we lovingly embrace our humanness…and expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you! \nQuestions?

How can we know the freedom of our true nature\, even when anger is present? How can we meet it with understanding and compassion? What are the gifts that anger offers us? \nAnger is a challenging emotion for many of us—because its energy can be strong. We’re scared of anger and suppress it\, or it bursts out and wreaks havoc on ourselves and our relationships.  \nHow does anger live in your system? Hidden in fear\, shutting you down\, ready to explode\, a seething slow burn\, in judgment and sarcasm? \nAwakened consciousness is naturally open to everything. In our gathering together\, we’ll bring anger out of the shadows and into the light of conscious awareness—because if anger is present it’s here to be seen\, felt\, and known. We’ll explore the story it tells and tune into its enlivening energy that comes through the body. And we’ll include the messages you received about anger when you were young.  \nWith great compassion\, we’ll give anger space to be\, acknowledging the power it can offer us for clarity\, self-care\, boundaries\, and the experience of our essential aliveness.  \n Through guided meditation\, teachings\, and Q&A\, we’ll address ways to express this sometimes confusing emotion with authenticity and care and explore self-care practices that support its integration. Come with your questions\, confusions\, shame\, stuck places…and curiosity.  \nNo longer afraid of the power of anger\, you’ll realize its gifts…energy\, aliveness\, and expansive inner freedom… \nQuestions?

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. \n“This is my secret. I don’t mind what happens.”\nJ. Krishnamurti on the secret to a happy\, content life \nOur focus for this meeting is on the secret to happiness\, which is to want what we have. We’re invited to discover the capacity within for unconditional acceptance of all that arises. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\nIf we’re focused on wanting what we don’t have\, we’re living in a state of lack. It’s an “if only” way of being…”if only I get what I want\, then I’ll be happy.” This mindset focuses on the imagined future and distracts us from opening to the direct experience of reality present now.  \nFor some of us\, longing for what we don’t have is a habitual state. We’re pulled into the mind’s stories of lack and we’re familiar with feeling dissatisfied and inadequate in our bodies.  \nIn our time together\, we’ll explore need\, lack\, longing\, and the fullness of what is. We’ll identify the stories that keep us hoping for something better…and open to the simple joy of meeting what is with a deep and heartfelt “yes!”. It’s such a lovely way to walk in life… \nCome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nDetails \nWednesday\, April 16\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“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. \n“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. \n“Your work is a bridge between practical daily life and Supreme Reality.” ~Henrique N. \n“You radiate such warmth\, kindness\, beauty and wisdom.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Core Practices for Peace and Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nCore Practices for Peace and Happiness\n \nWednesday\, April 9\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.

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. \nAs 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…  \nDo 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.  \nNo longer veiled by conditioning\, you’ll expand into spaciousness\, fresh responding\, and an infinite capacity for love. \nHere are the five core practices: \n\nTurning toward your experience;\nThe safe haven of being aware;\nLosing interest in thoughts;\nWelcoming feelings; and\nThe sacred return to loving aware presence.\n\nThese 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.  \nIn 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.  \nCome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nDetails \nWednesday\, April 9\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—The Way of Kindness
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nThe Way of Kindness \nWednesday\, April 2\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST on Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe 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. \nPlease 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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nOur focus for this meeting is on kindness—recognizing the often harsh nature of our conditioned thought patterns and exploring the possibility of kindness. \nWhat I’ve seen so clearly is that most of our thoughts are incredibly harsh and unkind. They criticize other people\, they judge the things that have happened to us in the past\, they go on about how we’re essentially flawed\, and they tell us what’s not possible and what we can’t do. \nAnd how do we feel when these thoughts are living in our mental space? Some combination of anxious\, sad\, tense\, angry\, lonely\, inadequate\, and shameful. \nConsciousness is already essentially kind because it resists nothing. Deeply accept everything\, and you’ll stand as the infinite field of conscious awareness that is effortlessly kind. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice turning inward with kindness\, like a breath of fresh air. We’ll see what it’s like to turn down the volume on negative noise in our minds so we’re available to openness\, presence\, and peace. \nCome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand beyond the known into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you! \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, April 2\, 2025 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“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 \n“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. \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. \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 \n“You radiate such warmth\, kindness\, beauty and wisdom.
