SUMMARY:Online Gathering—Relationships and Early Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nRelationships and Early Trauma \nWednesday\, May 11\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\non Zoom\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm GMT \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together 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 how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness. \nOur focus for this meeting is on how disruptions in our early relationships with our parents and caregivers affect our capacity to form authentic and intimate relationships throughout our lives. If we felt unsafe\, rejected\, unseen\, or disconnected early in our lives\, we’re invited to learn how to take care of these younger parts of ourselves so we can show up fully now with ourselves and others. That’s how we stop projecting out our needs and fears and expecting other people to satisfy what we missed in our childhoods. \nHere’s the good news: our capacity for fulfilling relationships is still alive in us\, here to be discovered and lived. Together\, we create a field of safe space to explore how we feel stuck and separate. As we discover we can meet these tender places in ourselves with deep acceptance and care\, we have space to open to the intimacy that is possible. We’ll explore practical ways to be more present in our interactions. \nOur time together includes guided meditation\, teachings for understanding our inner experience\, helpful tools\, and heartfelt conversation. We turn our attention inward to recognize our mind-made limits and the stories that create personal suffering. \nHow do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What do you do with feeling disappointed\, hurt\, or bored? What about longstanding conditioned patterns that feel stuck? What about needs\, desires\, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments\, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations. \nYou’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience\, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that bring struggle to your life. 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 and the sacredness of all of Life. \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. \nDetails \nWednesday\, May 11\, 2022 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5:00pm GMT \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers.\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. \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\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. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nAt 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 sense of safety and trust needed for this deeper exploration.

SUMMARY:Online Gathering—Getting to the Core of Early Trauma

Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self\, unexplored trauma patterns\, and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness. \nOur focus for this meeting is 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. 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. \nTogether\, we create a field of safe space to explore these tender parts of ourselves. As we discover we can meet them with deep acceptance and care\, we have space to realize there is so much more to life! \nOur time together includes guided meditation\, teachings for understanding our inner experience\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation.

SUMMARY:Awakening in Relationships: A Mini-Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Awakening in Relationships: A Mini-Retreat \nThursday\, April 14\, 2022 @ 9:00am – 1:00pm Pacific \nOnline retreat on zoom \nEvent will be recorded and emailed to participants.\nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend the whole live session. \nEvent is sponsored by Open Circle Center. To register\, please click here. https://opencirclecenter.org/event/gail-brenner-apr-14-2022/ \nCurious about embodying awakened consciousness in everyday life? Then let’s explore our relationships. Because when we can show up with others unveiled and free\, we find no end to the intimacy that is possible. \nIn this mini-retreat\, we’ll identify the patterns we play out that create a sense of separation—from ourselves\, others\, and all of life. These are fear-based programmed ways of being that include people-pleasing\, withdrawal\, inflating or deflating ourselves in comparison to others\, holding grudges\, and defensiveness. Together\, we’ll untangle the distorted assumptions we hold about the world and learn to meet our tender emotions with loving acceptance. \nUntying the knots that lie at the core of our relationship struggles brings freshness\, ease\, and space for new and authentic ways of being. We realize our shared humanness\, which brings compassion for ourselves and others\, melting into the one boundless heart beyond our personal selves. \nWe learn about relationships from our first connections with our caregivers early on in life. Fear of rejection\, hurt from feeling unseen\, mistrust\, the need to please—these are signs of unexamined contractions that are waiting for liberation. \nDo you feel separate in your relationships? With guided inner reflection\, a journaling exercise\, small group experiences\, and Q&A\, we’ll practice creating safe space for authentic connection. You’ll leave with new insights\, ways to experiment in daily life\, and tools for being in your relationships as a pathway for awakening. I look forward to being with you! \nPlease feel free to contact Gail with any questions about the program at gail@gailbrenner.com.\nFor technical questions please reach out to web@opencirclecenter.org. \nTo register\, please click here. https://opencirclecenter.org/event/gail-brenner-apr-14-2022/ \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. Thank you for being a beacon in tumultuous times. Your light helps us to shine our own.” ~Julie Desmarais \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.” ~Sandra Joseph\, Broadway star and author of Unmasking What Matters \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 sense of safety and trust needed for this deeper exploration.

Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self\, unexplored trauma patterns\, and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness. \nHow do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What do you do with feeling disappointed\, hurt\, or bored? What about longstanding conditioned patterns that feel stuck? What about needs\, desires\, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments\, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations. \nYou’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience\, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that bring struggle to your life. 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 and the sacredness of all of Life. \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. Our time together will include guided meditation\, clarifying teachings\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nDetails \nWednesday\, March 30\, 2022 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5:00pm UK \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers.\nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Deep Trauma Healing: Finding Ease and Well-Being in Everyday Life—5-part series
DESCRIPTION:Deep Trauma Healing:\nFinding Ease and Well-Being in Everyday Life \nA 5-Part Live\, Online Series \nFeb. 12\, 16\, 19\, 23 & 26\, 2022; 9–11am PST\nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm GMT \nSponsored by SAND (Science and Nonduality) \nFor course details and registration\, please click here. \nWe all want to feel good in our lives\, to be relaxed and feel peaceful\, optimistic\, and inspired. This is our birthright\, our natural way of being. \nWhy is this not our everyday experience? Unexplored trauma is at the root of patterns that keep us stuck in emotional pain and limited in life. We long to be free\, but somehow these same patterns keep getting played out in our mind\, emotions\, relationships\, and choices in life. \nCome and join this powerful 5-session course as we create a safe and supportive healing community to do the deep work of trauma healing. Trauma happens in relationships that lack the safety we need. In this course\, we come together to offer a safe space that welcomes you just as you are—with your fears\, self-doubts\, shame\, and confusion. \nThrough focused teachings\, guided meditation\, group sharing\, and experiments during and between our sessions\, you’ll learn to untangle your conditioned patterns from the past and find your way home to being present and alive in your life as it is right now. This is where you’re available to creativity\, enthusiasm\, and the simple joys of everyday living. \nYour daily life will be the laboratory as we explore specific tools to feel grounded and safe within yourself and your relationships. \nModule 1: How trauma works\nPractice: Grounding in the present with curiosity and openness\nFeb 12\, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST \nFirst\, we’ll slow everything down so you can begin to lovingly open to all parts of yourself. Then we get curious about what we discover. We’ll practice using the breath and our senses to create a safe and welcoming base as we begin to become aware of the hidden parts of ourselves. This is what heals shame. \nModule 2: Getting to know our patterns\nPractice: Compassion for all of our experience\nFeb 16\, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST \nWe’ll explore our repetitive patterns through journaling and small group explorations. We’ll turn toward the fear behind these patterns to meet it with love and care. Gently\, we become aware of exactly how we get caught so we can question limiting beliefs we hold about ourselves\, others\, and the world. The possibility for freedom dawns. \nModule 3: How the body holds trauma\nPractice: Attuning to the body with love and care\nFeb 19\, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST \nWe’ll bring awareness to the body and explore how the nervous system gets activated when we’re triggered. We’ll discuss a range of practices for caring for the body\, especially during stressful times. This is how you find the space to live more fully in the present. \nModule 4: What is an emotion?\nPractice: Navigating the waves of difficult emotions\nFeb 23\, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST \nTurning toward all of our experience with compassion\, we learn to embrace our emotions with the unconditional love they desperately long for. Together\, we’ll practice holding safe space for ourselves and our emotions at a pace that feels right\, staying connected to our own individual needs. \nModule 5: Living fully in everyday life\nPractice: Opening beyond our patterns into ease and well-being\nFeb 26\, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST \nWith growing trust in staying grounded\, we’ll explore the practicalities of daily life with more openness and ease. How do you bring this new sense of freedom into your relationships and life situations? We’ll feel into the possibility of taking care of old patterns that arise as we live more and more in our full aliveness now. \nFor course details and registration\, please click here. \nStress and worry… people pleasing… persistent relationship struggles… proving yourself through accomplishments… the inner critic… these longstanding patterns are profound invitations for compassion and understanding. Together\, we’ll lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into peace\, connection\, and everyday joy. \nimage credit

SUMMARY:All Is Sacred: Living our Essential Nature in Everyday Life—2-part online retreat
DESCRIPTION:All Is Sacred:\nLiving our Essential Nature in Everyday Life \n2-Part Online Exploration \nDec. 30 & 31\, 2021\n9:00 am – 12:00 noon\, Pacific Time\, each day\nStarting at noon ET\, 5pm UK \nEvent will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting.\nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions. \nFor course details and registration\, please click here. \nBy cultural norms and conditioning\, this time of transitioning to a new year prompts a reflection of the past and a view into the future. Yet\, past and future are created intervals of time that exist only in the mind. When do you experience the past or the future? Right now as you think about them. \nNo matter what the calendar says\, there is only this moment\, now\, free and uncaused\, completely fresh and new\, emerging from and infused with love. In any moment\, we can turn away from our minds and be right here to experience our full aliveness. \nCome and join this two-day retreat as we explore the possibility of consciously living from our true essence. \n\nHow do you discover it?\nHow are your relationships affected?\nWhat do you do with past conditioned patterns that arise?\nWhat about challenging emotions such as grief\, fear\, and shame?\n\nYou are wholeheartedly welcome just as you are as we share intimate\, loving space in community. Together we’ll explore the practical reality of awakened living in your own direct experience. Our time together will include guided meditation\, words of ancient masters\, self-reflective exercises\, small group conversation\, and plenty of time for Q&A. \nWe will investigate the myth of the separate self\, the power of the thinking mind\, and the possibility of living the moments of your human life with awareness\, freedom\, acceptance\, and love. \nFor course details and registration\, please click here. \nQuestions about the program? Please email Gail directly at gail@gailbrenner.com.\nFor technical questions please reach out to web@opencirclecenter.org \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. \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 sense of safety and trust needed for this deeper exploration.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together—Online Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together:\nEmbodied Awakening in Everyday Life \nTuesday\, December 21\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\non Zoom\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm GMT \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Embodied Awakening 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 how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness. \nHow do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What do you do with feeling disappointed\, hurt\, or bored? What about longstanding conditioned patterns that feel stuck? What about needs\, desires\, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments\, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations. \nYou’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience\, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that bring struggle to your life. 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 and the sacredness of all of Life. \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. Our time together will include guided meditation\, clarifying teachings\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nDetails \nTuesday\, December 21\, 2021 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5:00pm UK \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers.\nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Deep Trauma Healing: Tending the Ground for Awakened Living—6 session course
DESCRIPTION:Deep Trauma Healing: Tending the Ground for Awakened Living\n \nOctober 15\, 19\, 22\, 26 and November 2\, 5\, 2021\n9:00 am – 11:00 am Pacific Time\, each day on Zoom\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm UTC \nRecordings will be available and sent to all who register. \nAddressing trauma and how we hold it is essential to seeing through the illusion of the separate self. Deep Trauma Healing: Tending the Ground for Awakened Living\, offers a safe and supportive healing community to do this deeper work that unfolds on the path of awakening. \nFor course details and registration\, please click here. \nUnexamined trauma is at the root of your conditioned patterns and keeps you feeling stuck\, limited\, and unable to be free. You long for freedom and maybe have had a taste of your true nature\, but somehow these patterns keep getting played out automatically in your mind\, emotions\, relationships\, and choices in life. You feel caught in the painful sense of separation…from yourself and the sacredness of all of Life. \nTogether\, we will carefully bring to light the mechanisms of these patterns into the light of loving awareness.

This is how you begin to shed the feeling of separation so you are free to be fully alive in your life as it is right now. \nWe’ll use specific practices and experiments in our sessions and between sessions to study the living reality of non-separation. We’ll study being in life open\, without defenses\, and free of the mind’s need to control. This is the foundation you need for openhearted awakened living. \nHere’s what we’ll cover in each 3-hour session: \n\nFriday: No self\, no problem; slowing down\, resting in inner stillness. We’ll begin to investigate the sense of separation that appears through early trauma and conditioned patterns;\nSaturday: Finding our ground in spacious\, still awareness; navigating the mind\, emotions\, and body\, especially when we’re triggered;\nSunday: Practical everyday living in surrender and intimacy with Life.\n\nCome prepared to explore beyond your comfort zone. You’ll discover the brilliance of embodying love\, awareness\, understanding\, compassion\, and deep connection with all…available in every moment. \nPlease click here to register: https://opencirclecenter.org/event/gail-brenner-intensive-aug-2021/ \n“I have found your approach really works for me.

Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness. \nHow do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What do you do with feeling disappointed\, hurt\, or bored? What about money\, work\, and life purpose? What about needs\, desires\, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments\, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations. \nYou’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience\, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that bring struggle to your life. 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 and the sacredness of all of Life. \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. Our time together will include guided meditation\, clarifying teachings\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nDetails \nTuesday\, July 20\, 2021 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5:00pm UK \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers.\nPlease register here.

Somehow she was able to guide me around the resistance(s) to a more loving acceptance of what is.
