Embodied Awakening
3-Session Online Weekend Intensive
Aug. 27, 28 & 29, 2021
9:00 am – 12:00 noon Pacific Time, each day
Event will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting.
You’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions.
Sponsored by Open Circle Center, the Embodied Awakening Intensive offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. During our weekend together, 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.

How do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What about money, sexuality, work, and life purpose? What do you do with feeling disappointed or 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.
Through our time together in safe and supportive community, you’ll practice staying deeply grounded in your present moment experience. From this grounded awareness, you’ll learn to meet your programmed patterns and early trauma—the inner critic, long-standing shame, feelings of fear and insecurity—with intelligence and loving acceptance. 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.
We’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.
Here’s what we’ll cover in each 3-hour session:

Friday: 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;
Saturday: Finding our ground in spacious, still awareness; navigating the mind, emotions, and body, especially when we’re triggered;
Sunday: Practical everyday living in surrender and intimacy with Life.

Come 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.

The 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 and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness.
How 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.
You’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.
Finally, 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.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

At any moment, within the field of your own experience, there is an inner sanctuary of presence and stillness. You access this space by shifting your attention away from the jumble of thoughts, feelings, stories, fears, and external input such as others’ opinions. You simply turn inward—beyond all mind movement—and be.
In no time at all, you find the ground of being, the light of living vibration that’s here in every moment. It’s timeless, which means it’s eternally present, and all-embracing as the unity of all. Don’t be afraid of this vast love. Fall into its arms…”

How do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What about money, sexuality, work, and life purpose?

We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations.

You’ll get the felt direct experience of 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.
Throughout our six sessions together, you’ll practice staying deeply grounded in your present moment experience.

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.
Here’s what we’ll cover:

Sessions 1 and 2: No self, no problem; aliveness in everyday life;
Sessions 3 and 4: Early trauma and conditioned patterns; waking up in your relationships;

Come prepared to move out of your comfort zone in all areas of your life. You’ll discover the brilliance of embodying love, awareness, and deep connection with all…available in every moment.

Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness and the myth of the separate self. Together, we’ll create a safe and supportive community of pure intention for peace and freedom.
For details and registration, please click here.
Throughout our four sessions together, you’ll practice staying deeply grounded in your present moment experience. From this grounded awareness, you’ll learn to meet your programmed patterns—the inner critic, long-standing shame, feelings of fear and insecurity—with intelligence and loving acceptance. 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.
How do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What about money, sexuality, work, and purpose? What do you do with feeling disappointed or 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.
We’ll also use specific practices and experiments in our sessions and between sessions to study the living reality of nonseparation. You’ll get the felt direct experience of 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.
Come prepared to move out of your comfort zone in all areas of your life. You’ll discover the brilliance of embodying love, life, and deep connection with all…available in every moment.

Offering a free information session with Gail on Saturday, April 10 from 9-10am Pacific. You’ll learn more about the course, and there will be time for Q&A. Please click here for details and to join the session.
Gail 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.

“I appreciated Gail’s ability to guide us in areas that are difficult to even put words to, as well as her ability to transmit such presence and lovingkindness.

“At any moment, within the field of your own experience, there is an inner sanctuary of presence and stillness. You access this space by shifting your attention away from the jumble of thoughts, feelings, stories, fears, and external input such as others’ opinions. You simply turn inward—beyond all mind movement—and be.
In no time at all, you find the ground of being, the light of living vibration that’s here in every moment. It’s timeless, which means it’s eternally present, and all-embracing as the unity of all. Don’t be afraid of this vast love. Fall into its arms…”

Friday, March 26, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific

Noon Eastern, 4pm GMT
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
You are most welcome to join as we create a safe and supportive space online to explore the deeper work that unfolds on the path of awakening. We are a supportive and loving community, and you are welcome just as you are.
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.
A 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 and the sacredness of all of Life.
Finally, 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.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Somehow she was able to guide me around the resistance(s) to a more loving acceptance of what is. Gail is able to transform through her presence and I think anyone open to healing would benefit.”

At any moment, within the field of your own experience, there is an inner sanctuary of presence and stillness. You access this space by shifting your attention away from the jumble of thoughts, feelings, stories, fears, and external input such as others’ opinions. You simply turn inward—beyond all mind movement—and be.
In no time at all, you find the ground of being, the light of living vibration that’s here in every moment. It’s timeless, which means it’s eternally present, and all-embracing as the unity of all. Don’t be afraid of this vast love. Fall into its arms…”

The Sacred Work of Trauma and Awakening
Tuesday, December 29 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
on Zoom
Noon Eastern, 5pm UTC
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
You are most welcome to join as we create a safe and supportive space online to explore the deeper work that unfolds on the path of awakening. We are a supportive and loving community, and you are welcome just as you are.
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.
A 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 and the sacredness of all of Life.
Finally, 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.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Living as Presence in Everyday Life – A Mini-Retreat
2020-10-17 11:00 - 13:00
A 2-Day Mini-Retreat:
Living as Presence in Everyday Life
Oct. 17 and 18, 2020
11:00 am – 1:00 pm, Pacific Time
Event will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting. You’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions.
Please click here to register.
Come immerse yourself in a fresh way of being, fully aligned with your natural essence as whole, peaceful, primed for joy, and lacking nothing.
Longstanding conditioned patterns are profound invitations into liberation from the sense of separation.
Together in a safe and loving space, we’ll untangle the limited ways you think about yourself—addressing the critical mind, old stories from the past, tendencies to compare and feel inadequate. You’ll come away with skills to feel grounded within yourself and in your life, with more space to experience intimacy, generosity, and simple joy.
Our sessions will include guided meditation, small group sharing, Q&A, and joyful celebration together.
You’ll be invited to practice on your own between our sessions. Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.
If you have questions about this retreat, please email gail@gailbrenner.com.

The Sacred Work of Trauma and Awakening
Tuesday, October 6 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
on Zoom
This week’s focus: opening our minds fully beyond limiting beliefs that make us feel separate
You are most welcome to join as we create a safe and supportive space online to explore the deeper work that unfolds on the path of awakening. We are a supportive and loving community, and you are welcome just as you are.
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. Our meeting on October 6 will explore opening our minds fully beyond limiting beliefs that make us feel separate.
A 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 and the sacredness of all of Life.
Finally, 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.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

In no time at all, you find the ground of being, the light of living vibration that’s here in every moment. It’s timeless, which means it’s eternally present, and all-embracing as the unity of all. Don’t be afraid of this vast love. Fall into its arms…”

Are you still taken over by conditioned patterns—even after all the work you’ve already done? Do you long to heal your sense of separation from yourself and from the sacredness of all of Life?
We hear about freedom as a possibility—or we’ve had a taste of our true nature—but somehow conditioned patterns keep getting played out in our minds, our emotions, our relationships, and our choices in life.
The truth of who we are is so incredibly close. But when we’re clouded by inner judgments and fixed ideas about ourselves, it seems like it’s a million miles away. We’re hidden behind the veils of conditioning that seem so real.
Finally, we realize that we can’t go it alone. We need to practice together—in a supportive and loving community—to find our way home. And that’s what we create when we join together. You are welcome as you are—with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions.
This course offers just the deep dive you need 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.
We’ll meet weekly for 6 weeks for guided meditation, clarifying wisdom, small group sharing, and joyful celebration together. There will be plenty of time for Q&A with Gail. You’ll come away with the skills to feel grounded, safe, and connected within yourself and in your life. You’ll experience more space for intimacy, generosity, and simple joy.
You’ll receive exercises and reflections to enrich your experience between our meetings.

“Ultimately, there can be no complete healing until we have restored our primal trust in life.”
Georg Feuerstein
Quintessence is the fifth and highest element in ancient and medieval philosophy that permeates all nature and is the substance composing the celestial bodies.
It is also the essence of a thing in its purest and most concentrated form. Quintessence is Spirit.
Creating a culture of vitality through the journey of a heroine. Forgiveness, healing, spiritual journeys, heart/mind connection, grounded manifestation, clearing and trusting the teacher within are the quintessence of feminine power.
We have certainly been releasing and healing our traumas…but what is next? How do we trust our inner knowing from the voices of fear and doubt that can run rampant in our minds? How do we live from a place of wholeness?
That is where Quintessence comes into play. It is the creative spirit that permeates the elements of life and the divine spark in us all. Through these seven activations on the heroine’s journey we embody ourselves so fully that our knowingness is unwavered.
The universe is expanding at an accelerated rate. Are you expanding with it?
The women that you will be gleaming wisdom from have all achieved greatness in their respective fields. They will share with you their stories and offer an intimate understanding of how embracing healing has rejuvenated their lives and careers.
Your personal journey of expansion may elevate and flourish as you embrace healing.
Connect with a community of female game changers from all over the world from the comfort of your own home.
Together, we will create an astral retreat that provides a sacred space for our time together, as well as a live community discussion during the presentations.
During the Quintessence 3- Day Virtual Retreat you will learn:

Spiritual modalities that will help you expand your energy further into the universe.
How to fully heal our suffering and open the doors to your heart-center
Sacred grounding tools that will help you to evoke your divine blueprint
Healing Alchemy
How to activate co-creative powers that have been dormant inside of us
Late summer – nourishing our body, mind and soul
How to dissolve our limitations and soul contracts through healing work

Potent daily practices that clear your energy channels and create the foundation for divine communication and downloads
…All of this and much more!
We look forward to connecting with you at Quintessence Virtual Retreat.
A 3-Day Virtual Retreat August 14th-16th, 2020
Embark on your heroine’s journey.
Evoke your divine blueprint.

The Sacred Work of Trauma and Awakening
Tuesday, August 4 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
on Zoom
This week’s focus: how we resist surrendering into the flow of life
You are most welcome to join as we create a safe and supportive space online to explore the deeper work that unfolds on the path of awakening. We are a supportive and loving community, and you are welcome just as you are.
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. Our meeting on August 4 will explore how we resist surrendering into the flow of life.
A 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 and the sacredness of all of Life.
Finally, 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.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.
