SUMMARY:Bringing Heaven to Earth: Fully Alive in Everyday Life
DESCRIPTION:Bringing Heaven to Earth: Fully Alive in Everyday Life \nSponsored by Open Circle Center \n3-Part Online Course\nSaturday\, Tuesday\, and Thursday – April 15\, 18 & 20\n9:00 am – 11:30 am\, Pacific Time\, each day\nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm UK \nTime Zone Converter \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions. \nPlease click here to register.\nThe nondual teaching invites us to recognize the truth of who we are beyond any conditioned ideas about ourselves. And this recognition changes everything. \nWe no longer believe the fear-based\, limited ideas we hold about ourselves and the world\, and we open to everything\, flowing with things as they are. Rather than needing to fix and control\, we get out of our heads and rest effortlessly as the Being that we are\, loving whatever appears. \nThis knowing radically transforms our relationships with others\, how we relate to ourselves when we’re triggered\, and how we meet the challenges that arise in the course of human life. Where before we felt stuck and limited\, we now live in wonder\, curiosity\, and heart. \nLet’s gather in loving community to explore living everyday life with nothing in the way…endlessly available to all that is… \nThis 3-session course offers you an invitation to open to a fresh way of being\, fully aligned with your natural essence as whole\, peaceful\, primed for joy\, and lacking nothing. You’ll learn to untangle the limited ways you think about yourself and find your way home to the ever present space of inner aliveness\, the sacredness of all of Life. \nEach session includes guided meditation\, clarifying wisdom\, small group sharing\, Q&A\, and joyful celebration together. You’ll come away with skills to feel grounded\, safe\, and connected within yourself and in your life. You’ll experience more space for the natural arising of intimacy\, generosity\, inspiration\, and delight. \n“This course has changed my life. Gail is able to transform through her presence and I think anyone open to healing would benefit.” ~ Erica C. \nPlease click here to register for the course.\nSession 1: How We Show Up for Ourselves and for Life \nWe’ll name and explore essential qualities of awakened awareness: openness\, curiosity\, humility\, compassion\, and devotion. How do we embody these qualities in everyday life? \nSession 2: Insight Into Conditioned Patterns \nWe’ll understand how we contract into limiting ideas about ourselves and forget the truth of our being. We’ll practice wise and kind ways to be with emotions and the nervous system. \nSession 3: Awake in Everyday Life \nWe’ll get practical about relationships\, resentments\, hurts\, frustrations of daily life\, and anything else you’re struggling with. How do we navigate these situations without losing our authentic Being? How can you\, more and more\, step into your full magnificence as you were meant to be? \n“Gail creates\, embodies and models a very safe space which is helping to create safety in myself on a day to day level which is Huge.” ~ H.F. \nFree Information Session: Please join Gail for a free information session on Thursday\, April 13 at 9am Pacific\, noon Eastern\, 5pm BST. You’ll learn more about the course and get a taste of the safe and loving community that supports this work.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Liberating the Mind From Its Stories
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nLiberating the Mind From Its Stories \nWednesday\, April 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 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  studying the mind and how it creates the sense of separation. This is an essential exploration to undertake…because attachment to the contents of our minds distracts us from experiencing the aliveness of our true nature. \nOnce we’re no longer interested in using the mind to define our reality\, we’re immediately present\, open to all that is\, free of mind-created fear and angst. \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… \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 teachings\, conversation\, 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\, unconditional welcoming of what is\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, April 5\, 2022 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Bringing Wise Inquiry to Early Trauma Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nBringing Wise Inquiry to Early Trauma Patterns \nWednesday\, March 29\, 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.

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  giving our compassionate attention to how disruption in our early relationships affects us.  \nIf we felt unsafe\, rejected\, unseen\, or disconnected early in our lives\, we develop an identity that we are not good enough or broken 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. We’ll learn how to turn toward our experience with acceptance\, compassion\, and care. And we’ll discover the space to realize there is so much more to life than our patterns! \nOur time together includes guided meditation\, teachings\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation. We turn our attention inward to find our way through the mind-made limits and the stories that create personal suffering. And discover practical ways to return home to the ground of being…to freedom and liberation… \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? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, March 29\, 2022 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—Feeling Safe: Gateway to Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFeeling Safe: Gateway to Awakening \nWednesday\, March 22\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 4pm BST\, 5pm CET\non Zoom \nPLEASE NOTE TEMPORARY TIME CHANGE FOR UK AND EUROPE \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  what it means to feel safe and the role of safety in realizing our true nature. \nMany of us grow up not feeling emotionally safe in our families. 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\, 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 our 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?

When we take our stand as the essential vibration of life\, we notice two things. First\, a natural overflowing of generosity\, joy\, love\, and expansion we might call bliss. And second\, the edges of the heart that may feel bruised\, scared\, or not ready to trust. \nWe encounter the very human experience of longing for the boundless love that we are and the fear of actually knowing and living it.  \nWe gather together in safe and supportive community to courageously explore our innate and infinite capacity for love. We’ll marinate together in the endless field of aliveness that is eternally welcoming of all. And we’ll make space to lovingly turn toward the fears that separate us from this openness. \nMany of us have somehow learned that it’s not safe to love. We turn away from the fulfillment that’s possible and live in stress and contraction. With guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll tenderly welcome these edges with curiosity and deep compassion…and celebrate the love that’s always here beyond all time… \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.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—The Pathless Path to Inner Freedom

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 all blinders off\, and bring everything that arises under the microscope of awareness\, integrity\, and truth. 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. You’re not getting something you don’t already have. You’re not fixing what you think might be broken within you. You’re not waiting for divine intervention.  \nThe pathless path means that your attention turns inward\, over and over\, opening to all of your inner experience so you can discover that what you’re looking for is already here. When you go beyond the familiar stories and mental patterns\, you find\, shining brilliantly\, the timeless essence of peace\, freedom\, and boundless love. This is you…who you’ve always been despite any beliefs that tell you otherwise.  \nCome and explore the pathless path to inner freedom in safe and supportive community. With guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll lovingly open to the mind’s structures that convince you you’re not free and the ever-present possibility of the deepest peace beyond imagination.  \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.

No longer veiled by familiar fears and strategies of protection\, almost like a miracle\, we discover that we’re open to life.  \nOur minds are transparent\, as we become aware of natural movements we’ve unknowingly overlooked—perhaps a desire to slow down\, relationships that are asking for our attention\, a shift in priorities\, or the need for rest and self-care. \nWe feel fresh and innocent…poised to experience wonder\, creativity\, inspiration\, silence\, and unconditional love. We’re open to life\, rather than resisting it. \nOur gathering offers a supportive field of loving connection. Together\, we’ll get curious about what it’s like to live with our minds and hearts unclouded and wide open\, receptive to all that is. With guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll explore the everyday practical possibility of being in love with life.  \nAnd we’ll bring our infinite capacity for love and care to the tender and fearful places inside that still need to contract\, hide\, and control.  \nCome 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.

These are fear-based programmed ways of being that we learned early in our lives and left us feeling unsafe\, rejected\, unseen\, or disconnected. \nPeople-pleasing\, withdrawal\, needing to be right\, holding grudges\, defensiveness… These are signs of unexamined contractions that are ripe for liberation. \nUntying the knots that lie at the core of our relationship struggles brings openness\, ease\, and space for new and authentic ways of being. We discover we can meet the tender places in ourselves with deep acceptance and care. Then we have the space to open with compassion to the struggles others might be experiencing as well. \nThe intimate connection we all long for unfolds when energy flows freely…and offers a portal into the deepest knowing of infinite oneness beyond our personal identities. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice creating safe space for deepening connection. Together\, 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?

Our natural state\, unclouded by any conditioning\, is infinitely open\, fully free\, and attached to nothing. It’s the pure free-flow of life in which all objects come and go\, with no stickiness whatsoever. \nKnowing this reality\, we live as openness\, available to everything\, with no need for familiar fear-based survival strategies. There’s an open portal beyond separation to wonder\, creativity\, inspired living\, and love. \nYet\, as humans we have the experience of feeling stuck. We believe that we need to keep ourselves safe\, avoid painful feelings\, and limit the ways we express ourselves in life. And these ways of being keeps us locked into habitual reactions that affect our relationships\, our feelings about ourselves\, and the simple enjoyment of everyday life. We wonder if this is all that life has to offer. \nAt our gathering together\, we’ll explore how we end up feeling stuck and ways to be with that feeling. We’ll practice the direct route to freedom by landing squarely in the knowing that we are the open spaciousness in which the mind-made stories that grip us arise—and not the stories themselves. \nAnd we’ll open with curiosity as we turn toward the experience of feeling stuck to discover the treasures it holds and meet all that arises with compassion and deep acceptance. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll illuminate what it’s like to feel stuck…and to be free… Together\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand beyond the known into freedom\, flow\, and deep connection with all of Life.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—You Were Never Broken
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nYou Were Never Broken \nWednesday\, January 11\, 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 mistaken identity of feeling that we are broken\, even beyond repair. If we believe our minds and the messages we received when we were young\, we may develop this belief about ourselves. This sets in motion attempts to fix ourselves\, attempts that are unlikely to bring us the inner peace and well-being that we long for.  \nSo if peace is possible (it is)\, where do we find it?  \nHoping to feel better at some future point in time will keep us searching forever. Instead\, our suffering calls us to turn inward in any moment to explore this essential question: “Who am I?” If you are not the broken one your thoughts tell you that you are\, who are you? \nInstead of answering this question directly\, we’re invited first to meet the fullness of our experience in the present moment with unconditional love and care. We quickly discover a softening of the thoughts and feelings that are at the core of our personal identity. As we open to all that is\, including and beyond that identity\, we find spaciousness\, tenderness\, and the capacity to be present with what’s here right now.  \nAnd this changes everything. Over time\, the habit of these limiting identities relaxes\, giving way to moments of uncaused peace and pure being. We find space for new ways of being far beyond the sense of being broken. \nAnd our hearts expand into quiet\, effortless intimacy with all. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll explore the question\, “Who am I really?” Together\, 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?

The true nature of who we are includes everything with no resistance. It offers a continual deep and open “yes” to everything that appears as life unfolds.\n \nThis natural deep acceptance is profoundly healing to the pain of our early trauma patterns. These fear-based patterns develop from disruption in our relationships early on in life—with ourselves and others. Although everyone is doing their best\, we just don’t get the unconditional love and care we need to feel free to be fully ourselves. \nWhat is needed to discover our essential wholeness is ongoing unconditional acceptance of all parts of ourselves. And this is just what is offered by the natural alive aware being of who we are. As we take our stand here in this openness\, we find the loving space to hold these painful residues from the past. As these parts absorb into this love\, their tension relaxes\, and we come home\, more and more\, to live in daily life as a vast field of unconditional acceptance. \nAnd miraculously\, we find that we can hold this unconditional loving space for others as well. \nOur gathering offers a supportive field of loving connection. With guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice holding the space of boundless love—for ourselves and others. \nCome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. Together\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you! \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—An Open Exploration of Attachment
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering: \nAn Open Exploration of Attachment \nWednesday\, December 21\, 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.

When we make our happiness dependent on people\, money\, success\, possessions\, circumstances\, or even life itself\, we suffer. And when we align with our natural state\, free of all resistances\, we’re fully available to life as it is\, flowing with what appears\, and infinitely at peace. \nAttachments are sticky. Our freedom goes out the window as we spend our energy trying to keep what we want and reject what we don’t want\, meanwhile resisting the truth of the moment. We’re trying to fulfill our desires\, as we live in fear of what we could lose. \nBeing attached is a normal part of the human experience along with grieving the loss of people and things we love. And\, if we want peace\, we’re asked to continually say “yes” to reality as it is. \nTogether we’ll open to the topic of attachment. We’ll explore the nature of attachment\, the ways you’re attached\, and the immediate\, here-and-now possibility of freedom.  \nHow does attachment serve? With guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice creating safe space to investigate the tender places inside ourselves—and the living reality of our true nature beyond all attachments. Together\, 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\, December 21\, 2022 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—Living in the Timeless Now
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nLiving in the Timeless Now \nWednesday\, December 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.

If you are suffering\, then somehow the mind has drawn your attention into concepts of past and future. You carry patterns from the past into your present moment experience so you can’t be here fully. Or you believe something needs to change for you to be happy at some point in the future. These mind-made concepts 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.  \nThere is much said in our culture about 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\, veiled by time\, that are created in our minds.\n \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. Together\, 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\, December 14\, 2022 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—Deep Knowing Beyond the Sense of the Separate Self
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nDeep Knowing Beyond the Sense of the Separate Self \nWednesday\, December 7\, 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.

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 discovering how we make ourselves feel separate and limited. When we believe that we are defined by our stories and feelings\, we live according to this constricted view. We’re prone to thinking about ourselves a lot\, maintaining safety and protection\, and taking things personally. There is a strong sense of the inner self fueled by fear and lack and the outer world that feels unsafe. The belief in the separate self is at the root of our psychological struggles in life. \nIn our supportive field of loving connection\, we’ll explore the sense of separation so you can feel into exactly how it limits you. Then we’ll expand beyond separation into a way of being that is spacious\, free and unattached. Here is where you discover aliveness\, creativity\, inspiration\, and the joy of living. We’ll shed light on deep inner listening and surrender in the moments of daily life that lovingly replace the need for control. \nYou’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience\, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that make up the sense of separation. \nWe 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. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice creating safe space for this deep exploration. Together\, 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?

We’ll open to embodying our true nature as love that effortlessly includes everyone and everything…and feel into how we can be the expression of this love in interaction with others.   \nIn our time together\, we’ll explore the patterns we bring to our relationships that create the sense of separation—from ourselves\, others\, and all of life. And we’ll open to the possibility of being with each other…unveiled…vulnerable…unconditionally accepting…meeting as one in love. \nWe’ll explore fear-based programmed ways of being that we learned early in our lives and left us feeling unsafe\, rejected\, unseen\, or disconnected. People-pleasing\, withdrawal\, inflating or deflating ourselves in comparison to others\, holding grudges\, and defensiveness… These are signs of unexamined contractions within us that are waiting for liberation. \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 discover we can meet the tender places in ourselves and others with deep acceptance and care. And we open to intimate being with “others” beyond the sense of separation.  \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice creating safe space for deep connection. Together\, 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?

In the timeless formless infinite field of pure being\, emotions aren’t even a dot on the landscape. 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 love\, they are a gateway into realizing our true nature.  \n Caught 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.\n \n We need the power of safe and loving community when it comes to our emotions. 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 explore emotions to understand how they live in our minds and bodies. We’ll take our stand as loving aware presence and learn how to practice welcoming them 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\, November 23\, 2022 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 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. 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.

When we’re fully open to life\, unattached to anything\, then we’re one with the flow of life. We receive what is as it is with no resistance. We’re an open vessel for wonder\, creativity\, inspiration\, and love.  We meet all that arises—even the rocks and currents in the river—with a friendly\, welcoming Yes! We realize that we are peace itself\, resisting nothing. Do you want to know and live this peace? Then flow like water.  \nThe invitation to discover endless peace highlights the residue of the separate self that thinks it needs to resist and control. In our meeting together\, we’ll go within to find the direct experience of flow…and address the resistances that arise.\n \nWhat about meeting our inner friction with peace? What about ending the inner war by welcoming all\, even the resistance\, without leaving the peaceful flow? You are welcome into this exploration—with your doubts\, shame\, stories\, and resistances. \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and intimate conversation\, we’ll explore resistance and flow. Let’s understand exactly how we resist…as we touch into our heartfelt longing for peace. \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 and Freedom from Fear
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFear and Freedom from Fear \nWednesday\, November 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. 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. Fear is an essential emotion to investigate on the path of awakening…because any remaining belief in the separate self is fueled by fear. If fear rules\, it will limit you in life\, and you’ll find that you’re living a fraction of what is possible for you. You’ll be contracted into thoughts filled with worry and negativity—and miss out on the realization of infinite peace and love. \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\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 turn away from its protective voice. In our gathering together\, we’ll explore how fear shows up in the body and the stories it tells us that limit our expression in life. We’ll investigate to see if the stories that fear tells us are actually true. And if not\, who are we? How do we live if we’re not guided by fear? \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\, November 9\, 2022 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.

Through practices\, inquiries\, and experiments during and between our sessions\, we’ll learn to untangle these patterns and find our way home to the ever present\, relaxed\, open space of inner aliveness. There will be plenty of time for Q&A with Gail. \n• Session 1\, Thursday: We’ll cultivate a sense of safety for those hidden\, cut off parts of ourselves to come out into the light of loving awareness. This is what heals shame and separation.\n• Session 2\, Friday: We’ll bring skillful means to how we experience conditioned patterns—in our bodies\, nervous systems\, emotions\, and beliefs.\n• Session 3\, Saturday: We’ll explore devotion\, surrender\, and the practicalities of awakened living. \nAnd we’ll discover\, over and over\, the ground of being\, your spacious true home that has never been touched by these experiences. \nStress and worry…people pleasing…persistent relationship struggles…proving yourself through accomplishments…the inner critic…these longstanding patterns are profound invitations into liberation from the sense of separation. Together\, we discover being fully alive in our humanness as we expand into overflowing gratitude\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nPlease click the link to register: https://opencirclecenter.org/event/gail-brenner-retreat-nov-2022/ \nGail is offering a free information session on Tuesday\, November 1 from 9-10am Pacific.

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\, October 19\, 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  deep listening. If we’re driven by unexplored fear\, we look to the mind for guidance about how to live. That’s how we get caught in endlessly trying to make decisions\, figure things out\, and find our way in life. It’s stressful and often fruitless as a path to the peace we long for.  \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. 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\, but with every cell in our bodies\, with our hearts wide open\, and alive in the deepest place in us that trusts life’s unfolding.  \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 Together\, we’ll explore the practice of deep listening. When you let fear-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\, October 19\, 2022 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 to the Boundlessness of Love
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nOpening to the Boundlessness of Love \nWednesday\, October 12\, 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 love. When we let down our defenses\, when all strategies of protection fall away\, when we no longer identify as limited and separate\, all that remains is the direct experience of love. \n It’s boundless\, sacred\, beyond human form\, and experienced as all-inclusive welcoming of all.  \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 You are most welcome to join our exploration of love. Whether we call it infinite peace\, unconditional welcoming\, or pure being\, this absolute truth of reality encompasses all… \n This is true love…divine\, impersonal\, the source of all\, the fabric of Life with nothing separate from it. \n And sometimes love feels confusing—and even hurtful. Let’s unpack love\, bringing the light of loving awareness to our conditioning\, and finding our way through to deep authentic connection sourced from the oneness of all. \n Through guided meditation\, teachings\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll welcome in the direct experience of reality\, which is love itself. Moving beyond all forms\, beyond any trauma patterns and ways we get stuck\, we’ll turn toward the loving aliveness that’s here at the heart of any moment.  \nIn our time together\, we’ll inquire into our experience of love.

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\, October 5\, 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. The boundary between inner and outer falls away\, as everything just is. We return here over and over. \n Inner awareness as a way of life transforms everything—your relationships\, how you make choices in life\, how you show up with yourself when you’re triggered\, how you relate to your early history\, your knowing of freedom from the sense of the separate self. \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? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, October 5\, 2022 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—Bringing Wise Inquiry to Early Trauma Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nBringing Wise Inquiry to Early Trauma Patterns \nWednesday\, September 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. 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 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. We’ll delve deeply into the how-to of this inquiry for meeting our experience with acceptance\, compassion\, and care. And we’ll discover the space to realize there is so much more to life than our patterns! \nOur time together includes guided meditation\, teachings for understanding our inner experience\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation. We turn our attention inward to find our way through the 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 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. \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? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, September 28\, 2022 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.

If we’re interested in being alive to our present moment experience\, this is a useful exploration. Because it’s attachment to the contents of the mind that takes us away. \nIn our time together\, we’ll look at the ways the mind works\, including judgments\, opinions\, comparisons\, stories\, and general nonstop commentary. What is behind the mind’s functioning? How does it create the sense of separation? And what is it like to be less involved with thinking? (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… \nWe move from a mind-created “reality” to realize the direct experience of what is here and alive right now…with a radiant mind clear and open like the sky… \nWe come together in the sacred space of loving community for this deep exploration\, including teachings\, conversation\, 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\, unconditional welcoming of what is\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions?

These are fear-based programmed ways of being that we learned early in our lives and left us feeling unsafe\, rejected\, unseen\, or disconnected. \nPeople-pleasing\, withdrawal\, inflating or deflating ourselves in comparison to others\, holding grudges\, and defensiveness… These are signs of unexamined contractions that are waiting for liberation. \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 discover we can meet the tender places in ourselves with deep acceptance and care…and have space to open to intimate connection beyond our personal selves. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice creating safe space for deep connection. Together\, 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?
