Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Inner Silence Is a Superpower
Wednesday, January 14, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
Noon Eastern, 5pm BST
on Zoom
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on cultivating inner silence. Beneath the swirling mind, beneath emotions, beneath the pull of our reactions is a field of silence…the calm center that is always here.

Discover this silence just for a moment, and it becomes a sanctuary, a safe place to rest. Silence offers the possibility of a reset; it’s the space of awareness that gives us insight into our thinking minds and conditioned patterns instead of being absorbed in them.
During my first silent meditation retreat years ago, I discovered the well of silence beneath my thinking mind. Settling into this deep quiet led me to the shocking realization of negative thoughts running nonstop. The reason for my suffering became crystal clear—I had believed these thoughts without question and they formed my experience of my everyday reality.
No wonder I was unhappy!
This insight that changed everything for me became available only by knowing inner silence.
In our time together, we’ll explore the direct experience of inner silence. We slow down…get quiet…turn our attention away from our thinking minds…and connect with the alive presence that’s here as the foundation of any moment.
From this silent field, we study how our minds work and feel into the urge to move into our conditioned patterns. And we rest in open Beingness, free of any defined personal identity. Inner silence is presence that deepens our connection with everything and everyone. It’s the field from which awe, joy, and creativity flow.
Our gatherings offer safe and loving community for guided meditation, practical teachings, helpful tools, and heartfelt conversation. Together we share inner silence and our love of freedom! I look forward to being with you…

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

“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 Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on coming to completion with repetitive stories from our past.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

Whether we feel stuck in regret for our own past actions or blame others for their actions, keeping these stories alive now impacts our minds, hearts, bodies, and sense of freedom.
Immersed in wanting the past to be different, the stories repeat in our minds now along with sadness, anger, guilt and shame. It’s a form of secret suffering that we carry into the moments of our lives. We feel separate, frustrated, and unable to live fully.
In our time together, we’ll address how to come to peace with these familiar narratives. No matter what happened in the past, the key is to take an active and empowered role in our own healing.
We’ll discover that we can form a new relationship with how the events from the past live in us. Leaving the harsh reality of blame, regret, and wishful thinking, we’ll open to clear seeing and compassion…for ourselves and other people.
Finally, we realize we can’t go it alone. We follow the path of our indigenous ancestors of being held by community for healing and restoration of our essential wholeness.
We support each other—in loving community—as we illuminate our inner experience to understand exactly where we’re stuck..and find our way back home to peace, freedom, and all-encompassing love.

Our focus for this meeting is on exploring the healing capacity of boundless loving presence. The true nature of who we are includes everything with no resistance. It offers a continual open “yes” to everything that appears as life unfolds.

This deep and natural acceptance is profoundly healing to the pain of our early trauma patterns. For many of us, it’s what we’ve longed for our whole lives…and it invites us into our true nature—relaxed, open, and available to life.
Growing up without this loving acceptance, we developed strategies to protect ourselves, contracting into patterns of withdrawal, people-pleasing, control, or incessant stressful thinking. We’ve been caught in strong emotions, not knowing how to find our way to peace.
We looked outward toward others to find unconditional acceptance, and sadly learned that the people around us may not have been capable of offering it. And now we can recognize that this loving presence is actually the nature of reality that has been here all along. It’s the timeless medicine that welcomes home all parts of ourselves with unconditional love.
As we take our stand here as this openness, we find the loving space that holds these painful residues from the past. As the parts absorb into this ever-present love, their tension relaxes, and we discover the safety to be our full freedom.
No longer clouded by trauma patterns, we find the capacity for true connection, steadiness of being, creative expression, and utter delight in the simple pleasures of everyday life.
And miraculously, we find that we can hold this unconditional loving space for others as well.
Our gathering offers a supportive field of safe and authentic relating. With guided meditation, teachings, and conversation, we’ll practice being the space of boundless love—for ourselves and others.
Come 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!

Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on exploring the mind. 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.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

Choose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD

In 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.)
Through guided meditation, we’ll experiment with letting go of the mind’s stories and instead rest here…in open spaciousness…in pure loving awareness…
We 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…
We 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 are welcome!
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, unconditional welcoming of what is, and deep connection with all of Life.

How often are we in our heads in a conversation, not actually connected to the person in front of us. And how much do we miss out on our here-and-now experience, when we’re not actually alive to it?
If we’re driven by unexplored fear or need, we’re looking for guidance in our thoughts about how to live and be. Our programmed patterns are in charge as we get caught in endlessly trying to make decisions, navigate our relationships, and find our way in life. It’s stressful…and fruitless as a path to happiness…
Great news! There’s another completely different way to be, which is to stop, relax, open, and get curious. We listen, not through veils of fear or lack, but with every cell in our bodies, with our hearts and minds wide open, alive and receptive in the deepest place in us that trusts life’s unfolding.
This way invites us to shift away from our thinking minds so we’re available to all that’s here now—discovering intimate connection with each other, the aliveness of the moment, and life’s intelligence.
In our time together, we’ll explore the practice of deep listening, first to strengthen our connections with each other, and then to open to knowing the truth of reality as one with life, unity with all…clear seeing with nothing in the way.
When you let fear- and need-based tendencies be, what does life have in store for you? What is on the horizon itching to be expressed through you? What truth have you been avoiding? How intimate can your relationships be?
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll explore the possibility of being fully available to the river of life as it’s flowing right now…
We lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our 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.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

We haven’t had the support we need to regulate our nervous systems so we can feel balanced and grounded in ourselves and in life.
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.
Together, we create a field of safe space to explore these tender parts of ourselves. We support each other to meet them with deep acceptance and care, and have the space to realize there is so much more to life than our patterns!
Many of our conditioned 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.
In our time together, we’ll practice staying grounded in our present moment experience, and from here we turn our attention inward to recognize our mind-made limited stories from the past that create personal suffering.
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 loving community—to find our way home. We lean into our shared being—and our shared breath—to support us.
Our gathering includes guided meditation, heartfelt teachings, practical tools, and Q&A.
Come 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, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you!

Unpacking Hurt and Disappointment
Wednesday, March 4, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
Noon Eastern, 5pm BST, 6pm CET
on Zoom
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and everyday living of the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on bringing wise inquiry to the sticky experiences of hurt and disappointment. These are longheld stories entwined with emotions that can be so painful! And they feel intensely personal.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

Choose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD

In the spirit of liberation from all contractions of separation, we’ll open the door into these experiences and unpack them.
Both hurt and disappointment are fundamentally relational. We feel them in reaction to other people—what they should or shouldn’t do—and these stories can keep us stuck for a very long time.
Holding onto them, we project out our young needs and feel disappointed and hurt when they’re not met. These experiences take up residence in our minds, bodies, and nervous systems. Can you feel the tension and heaviness?
The medicine for hurt and disappointment is a brave and loving inner exploration. This is what brings us to clear seeing about these difficult experiences so they can soften. Together, we’ll feel into our direct experience and offer loving attention to the young parts longing to be seen and met.
We’ll open to insights and tools that help to loosen the grip of our tender needs. And we’ll invite the fragments of ourselves, still looking for love “out there,” to be held and welcomed into the light of our unlimited capacity for loving awareness. We start to feel empowered, spacious, and free.
You are unconditionally welcome just as you are for this exploration. Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality..
Our focus for this meeting is on a deep exploration of attachment. What is attachment? It’s a whole body experience of leaving the present moment. We believe our desires and expectations that tell us we need something we don’t have for our peace and happiness. We experience a loss of freedom when we’re attached to certain outcomes happening.
We make our inner peace dependent on things we can’t control—people, money, success, possessions, health, circumstances, or even life itself—and when we do, we suffer.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

If we stay mired in our attachments, we’re resisting reality. It’s like living in a room filled with furniture—everywhere we turn we bump into something. We want life to be as we want it…and not how it actually is. Sound familiar?
In our time together, we’ll open lovingly to an exploration of the ways we’re attached. We’ll go behind the curtain of our attachments to discover fear…of losing control, of loss, of not getting what we think we need. And we’ll open to the free flow of life… Can we align with—and trust—the truth of our experience, can we practice saying “yes” to reality as it is?
The exploration of attachments invites us to reflect on how we meet whatever appears in the moments of our lives. We may not be able to control what happens, but we can choose how we want to show up and relate to our present moment experience.
And here is where we find where we find wonder, potential, inspiration, and spontaneity.
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll discover the potential—already in you—to be fully alive in your life, free beyond attachments.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Friends are saying:

“What you’re pointing to is so difficult to talk about in words, but you describe it so brilliantly and give such practical, actionable steps to follow that I truly, deeply get it. I just cannot express to you how transformative your approach has been for me. I am inhabiting my life with so much more peace and openness, flow and freedom.” ~Sandra Joseph, Broadway star and author of Unmasking What Matters
“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.
“I felt bathed in presence on the retreat. Your clarity and presentation style was lovely. I found the guided meditations to be very helpful. I appreciate how relatable you are in the group, how you don’t set yourself apart.” ~Denis N.
“Thank you so much for your teachings and for all the compassion and love you transmit to me, and so many others. Your teachings are a gift of grace and love.” ~Pat Brown
“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

“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 Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on the body as a gateway for healing and awakening. What is your relationship to your body? Your body image? The physical sensations and energies that arise? Numbness and dissociation? Your nervous system?
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

Choose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD

There is much to be explored when we bring our attention to the physical realm of our experience. We find the root of emotions, the residue of old habits and traumas…and the possibility for the free flow of the vibration of life as it appears through the body. We realize we can live in daily life in our bodies, fully experiencing all that is.
Many of us live in our heads—without much awareness of our physicality. And when we open to experiences occurring in our bodies, we find hidden contractions, habitual ways of being, and places that feel stuck or shut down.
Let’s explore how we disconnect from life…how does the sense of separation live in our bodies and nervous systems? Then we’ll bring awareness to these body experiences to liberate them from unconsciousness and the limits of our stories.
Because sensation without a story is simply life energy…without interpretation, past, or future. We begin to enjoy this embodied aliveness!
In our sacred time together, we’ll bring space, breath, and deep compassion to our body experiences. Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll turn toward our bodies, holding all that arises in the infinite freedom of loving presence. We’ll discuss specific tools and practices for body awareness, informed by wisdom traditions.
All are welcome as we lovingly embrace our humanness…and expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you!

“This is my secret. I don’t mind what happens.”
J. Krishnamurti on the secret to a happy, content life
Our focus for this meeting is on the secret to happiness, which is to want what we have. We’re invited to discover the capacity within for unconditional acceptance of all that arises.

Choose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD

If we’re focused on wanting what we don’t have, we’re living in a state of lack. It’s an “if only” way of being…”if only I get what I want, then I’ll be happy.” This mindset focuses on the imagined future and distracts us from opening to the direct experience of reality present now.
For some of us, longing for what we don’t have is a habitual state. We’re pulled into the mind’s stories of lack and we’re familiar with feeling dissatisfied and inadequate in our bodies.
In our time together, we’ll explore need, lack, longing, and the fullness of what is. We’ll identify the stories that keep us hoping for something better…and open to the simple joy of meeting what is with a deep and heartfelt “yes!”. It’s such a lovely way to walk in life…
Come 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 appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Our focus for this meeting is on the spiritual path. What is the path? What are we looking for? How can we meet the twists and turns along the way?
In 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.
This is the path to inner freedom.
We 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.
The 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.
Come and explore the pathless path to inner freedom in safe and supportive community. With guided meditation, teachings, quotes from the masters, 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.
You 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!

Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on turning toward our early trauma patterns—with compassionate and loving hearts—to explore how disruption in our family environments when were young creates limiting ways of being that we carry into adulthood.
And we’ll shine the light of our awareness on the truth of who we are, our essential wholeness that has never been touched by anything that’s happened…
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

If you felt unsafe, rejected, unseen, or disconnected early in your life, it’s common to develop a conditioned identity that you are not good enough or broken beyond repair. Your attention goes into your mind and away from your body and heart, trying to figure out how to cope with the sense that something is wrong or missing.
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, others, and the sacredness of all of Life.
As we deepen in the holy work of trauma healing, we learn to care for the painful places that live in us. As the contractions of our trauma soften, there’s space to blossom into ourselves. Almost like a miracle, we begin to experience happiness, wonder, creativity, and authentic relationships.
Together, we create a field of safe space to explore the ways we get stuck. We’ll turn toward our inner experience with compassion, care, and unconditional acceptance. And we’ll realize there is so much more to life than our patterns!
Our time together includes guided meditation, teachings, practical tools, and heartfelt conversation.
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.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on the art of intimate and authentic connecting in our relationships. And yes, it’s an art! We’ll open to the messiness, confusion, and ever present possibility for presence and heart.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. Please pay what you can afford. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

Our connections with others offer the precious opportunity for sharing the beingness of our true nature and embodying infinite compassion that welcomes all. How open can we be?
If we don’t feel free to be our authentic selves in our relationships, then a conditioned pattern has taken hold. We lose our grounding in love and openness, and we feel the pain of disconnection.
We’re identifying with limiting stories that tell us we’re not good enough or need to protect ourselves. Then we project our fears and needs onto others, hoping for things to improve, but getting familiar results such as abandonment, rejection, and not being seen.
At the same time, others may be projecting their fears and needs onto us. That’s how we end up in a relationship dance that feels unfulfilling.
No wonder we feel lonely and isolated. We’re relating through patterns and not actually meeting each other for the intimate and loving connection we long for.
We learn about relating with others early on in our lives, and for some of us, the message is that we need to suppress our authenticity in order to feel safe. Instead, we try to connect by pleasing others, or we give up altogether and settle for disconnection. Navigating relationships can be confusing—and frustrating!
Come and explore the invitation to see through the veils of our conditioning that appear in our relationships. We’ll turn inward to lovingly meet the tender places in us that we’re afraid to express.
Then we’ll feel into the possibility of showing up with others—innocent and free—having the courage to inhabit what is naturally true and alive in us.
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll explore the limiting narratives we bring to our relationships and practice how to move beyond them—into freedom and authenticity.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on bringing wise inquiry to emotions. In the timeless formless infinite field of pure being, what we call emotions might appear, but presence remains undisturbed.
Yet, we all feel emotions, and they are a normal part of the experience of being human. If you feel stuck in limitation and confusion, emotions are probably involved. Met with care and unconditional welcoming, they are a gateway into realizing our true nature.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. Please pay what you can afford. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.
Pay $15.00

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.
In our time together, we’ll practice inquiring into emotions. With openness and courage, we turn toward our emotions, and get to know how they live in our minds, bodies, and actions. This is the path to discovering freedom, no matter how many times our emotions overtake us.
We value the power of safe and loving community for this exploration because we need others for support and nervous system regulation. Resisting emotions is isolating and reinforces shame. In our time together, in the spirit of peace and freedom, we’ll open up to our experience of emotions. Because if we continue to be entangled in their stories, we will continue to suffer.
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll take our stand as loving aware presence and learn how to practice welcoming emotions freely, taking our hands off the wheel and allowing their full liberation.
You 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.

The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on fear and freedom from fear. Do fear and anxiety grab you? Are you afraid of letting go?
Fear is an essential emotion to investigate on the path of awakening. Because if left unexplored, it pulls our attention into our spinning minds and creates a sense of separation from ourselves, each other, and the natural unfolding of life.

When taken over by fear, we forget that we can rest as Being. Rather than trusting the effortless flow of things, we worry, control, and judge. We go into our heads and lose compassion for ourselves and others.
When fear and anxiety rule, believing their stories limits us in life. Thoughts filled with stress and negativity will be our living experience. We dwell in our heads—while we unknowingly overlook the here-and-now presence of infinite peace and love.
Consider the disconnection expressed in so many ways in our world today that creates conflict, aggression, division, and painful othering. Fear is at the core.
Fear is a survival mechanism that is built into the human brain and nervous system. Yet, the realization of our true nature invites us to explore beyond its protective voice. In our gathering together, we’ll explore how fear, and its cousin anxiety, show up in the body and the stories they tell us that keep us rattled.
When we believe what anxious thoughts tell us, we’re living in a fear-fueled fantasy in our minds, disconnected from aliveness, awareness, and truth here and now. We’ll investigate to see if these stories we live by are actually true. How do we live if we’re not guided by fear and anxiety? Who are we in this boundless freedom?
Through 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.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

“I feel an indescribable ecstasy and delirium in melting, as it were, into the system of being, in identifying myself with the whole of nature…”
~Jean Jacques Rousseau
Our focus for this meeting is on an exploration of truth…love…beauty… Just reading these words clears out the cobwebs. They are like a tap on the shoulder, beckoning us to return to ourselves, to remember our essential wholeness…liberated, alive, and free…

When the chaos of our thoughts settles, the clarity of truth shines through…
When we stop seeking outside ourselves to fulfill our needs, we know love…
When we meet the world without blinders on, we see beauty everywhere.

Without these grounding qualities, we feel alienated and empty. We live our lives only skimming the surface of what is possible.
When we get out of our own way, what do we discover? Truth, love, and beauty—right here at the core of our being.
In our time together, we’ll explore our minds, hearts, and perceptions. Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll tenderly meet what blocks us from seeing things as they actually are.
And we’ll open to the possibility of infusing our everyday experience with truth, love, and beauty. We just might discover some unexpected treasures that life has in store for us…
We’re invited to embody these qualities. Live them. Lose ourselves in them. It’s the most compelling choice you could ever make… Come join us as we explore, practice—and celebrate!

Our focus for this meeting is on time and timelessness. The past and future are mind-made concepts that create a sense of fear and lack. When we live in time, we feel the weight of our past history and worries about the future as we attempt to live in presence. Our culture speaks to the benefits of being in the present moment. That’s because here is where we have the direct experience of life rather than the stories about our lives that are created in our minds.
Our 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.
Realizing 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.
As 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, infinite knowing…and deep healing. Even if thoughts are present, the mind is vast and open, empty and alert.
Come 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.
Come with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends.

Coming Home Together:
Who Are You? The Essential Question for Trauma Healing and Awakening

~~~~~~~
The essential question in nondual inquiry is: “Who am I?” At the root of personal suffering lies the belief that who we are is a person with a history, story, preferences, fears, and a sense of lack. As long as we identify as this core belief, we will view ourselves, others, and situations through the lens of these limited filters.
Suffering subsides when our identity disconnects from the contents of our minds. We lose interest in our habits of thinking. We stop going to our familiar stories to know who we are or how to act. And we can feel the emotions in our bodies so they begin to soften their grip.
This is a radical shift into freedom, infinite spaciousness, and trust—and into the pure aliveness that has always been here and available.
We come together in the sacred space of loving community to explore the nature of identity and the freedom that’s possible when you know who you are—and who you’re not. Our gathering includes guided exploration, insights and dialogue, and heartfelt conversation. Come with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions—and simply to be together with like-minded friends. All is welcome! I look forward to being with you…

Our focus for this meeting is on action and making decisions. In the course of daily life, it feels like we’re making hundreds of decisions. But are we really?
In our gathering together, we’ll unpack decision-making, inquiring into who is making the decision and how actions actually occur. We’ll bring curiosity to our urges, wonderings, plans, and confusions.
What emerges when we don’t go to the mind to know what to do? What do we become aware of when we don’t act unconsciously, ruled by our conditioned patterns? Offering a sacred pause to explore what’s arising in the moment, we open to subtle emotions and underlying agendas that can keep us stuck and unaligned with our truth.
Whether you’re deciding on your next career move or what to eat for dinner, come and explore together the art of getting out of the way to make space for what wants to emerge. Stepping outside our automatic and familiar trajectories, we find intuition, gut feelings in the body, and the essential knowing that’s right here, waiting to be expressed.
We come together in the sacred space of loving community for guided inner exploration and heartfelt conversation as we relax and let life show us the way. Come with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions—and simply to share sacred space with like-minded friends.
We lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Our focus for this meeting is on exploring awakening. There is much said about awakening in spiritual circles. In our gathering together, we’ll explore what all the fuss is about. What is awakening? Why does it matter? And how do you realize—in your conscious everyday experience—the truth of who you already are?
With guided meditation, teachings, and conversation, we’ll demystify awakening. We’ll touch on the traps that people often encounter in the awakening process, including spiritual bypass and relying on the mind to find the solution…when it can only be known by direct experience beyond the mind.
Bring your questions, confusions, and your belief that you’re a separate self with preferences, history, and limited identity. Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand beyond the known into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life.

The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on finding freedom from the mind’s stories. Our exploration shows us that attachment to the contents of our minds distracts us from experiencing the aliveness of our true nature…and living day-to-day in this freedom.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. Please pay what you can afford. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

Once we’re no longer interested in using the mind to define ourselves and our reality, we’re immediately present, open to all that is, free of mind-created fear and angst. We’re available to actually live the fullness of who we are—in our relationships with ourselves, others, and life as it unfolds in every moment. This is embodied freedom.
Completely losing interest in the mind reveals the direct, abiding experience of peace beyond peace…
In 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.)
Through guided meditation, we’ll experiment with letting go of the mind’s stories and instead rest here…in open spaciousness…in pure loving awareness free of thinking…accessing the power of simply being present.
We 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…
We come together in the sacred space of loving community for this deep exploration, including guided meditation, teachings, helpful tools, and Q&A. Bring all of you—your fears, doubt, shame, questions—and joy. All is welcome!
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life.

The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.

How often are we in our heads in a conversation, not actually connected to the person in front of us. And how much do we miss out on our here-and-now experience, when we’re not actually alive to it?
If we’re driven by unexplored fear or need, we’re looking for guidance in our thoughts about how to live and be. Our programmed patterns are in charge as we get caught in endlessly trying to make decisions, navigate our relationships, and find our way in life. It’s stressful…and fruitless as a path to happiness…
Great news! There’s another completely different way to be, which is to stop, relax, open, and get curious. We listen, not through veils of fear or lack, but with every cell in our bodies, with our hearts and minds wide open, alive and receptive in the deepest place in us that trusts life’s unfolding.
This way invites us to shift away from our thinking minds so we’re available to all that’s here now—discovering intimate connection with each other, the aliveness of the moment, and life’s intelligence.
In our time together, we’ll explore the practice of deep listening, first to strengthen our connections with each other, and then to open to knowing the truth of reality as one with life, unity with all…clear seeing with nothing in the way.
When you let fear- and need-based tendencies be, what does life have in store for you? What is on the horizon itching to be expressed through you? What truth have you been avoiding? How intimate can your relationships be?
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll explore the possibility of being fully available to the river of life as it’s flowing right now…
We lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

“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.

“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 Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on exploring ways to celebrate and remember the sacred knowing of our true nature. No matter how deep our experience is of endless openness beyond time and space, we find ourselves living the challenges and joys of daily life. How can we live these moments aligned with the truth of reality, informed by the realization that who we are is not limited and lacking?

We will shine the light of our inquiry on curiosity, humility, compassion, and devotion. What is our experience when we deeply feel into these qualities of being? How can we infuse them into our relationships with ourselves, other people, nature, and life? What is it like to live without the illusion of the separate self and knowing our connection to all?
In a supportive field of shared presence, we’ll open to these essential qualities in our own experience. We’ll explore how our view expands as we let go of limited ways of being and embody spaciousness, aliveness, and love. This is your natural being, who you have always been…
Our time together includes guided meditation, teachings, helpful tools, and Q&A. Come 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, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Living Nonduality in Everyday Life
Wednesday, August 19, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
Noon Eastern, 5pm BST
on Zoom
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and everyday living of the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on bringing attention to how we meet the moments of our everyday lives.

Our true nature is infinite openness beyond space and time, the formlessness from which all forms arise, fresh, innocent, and eternally loving.
Aligned with this truth, we no longer believe the fear-based, limited ideas we hold about ourselves and the world, and we’re available to 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.
Even if we’ve only had a taste of this knowing, it serves to contemplate how to bring this truth into the moments of our everyday lives.
Our true nature is present when we’re driving, working, interacting with others, complaining about the weather, zoning out on Netflix, and planning the day. It’s here when we’re happy and when we’re feeling frustrated and stressed.
Let’s gather in loving community to explore viewing everyday life through the eyes of love rather than fear and resistance. How can we embody a deep acceptance of all that is in the activities of our daily lives? How can we, more and more, step into our full magnificence as we were meant to be?
To the mind, everyday life may look repetitive and unsatisfying. But to consciousness, the seemingly ordinary is an expression of aliveness, clear seeing, and love.
In our time together, we’ll get practical to discover a fresh way of being in the moments of daily life, aligned with our natural essence as whole, peaceful, primed for joy, and lacking nothing. Through guided meditation, teachings, and Q&A, we’ll discover space for the living reality of intimacy with all that is….and the realization of the sacredness of all of Life.

Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on opening to the movements of the human life and ways to be with these movements. We feel separate and closed down, then enjoy openness in our minds and hearts. We get stuck in an old story and emotions, then let go into freedom and flow. Sound familiar?
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

These are natural movements on the spiritual path, not mistakes or failures. Our built-in instinct for survival will appear at times along with our conditioned fears and tendencies.
In a supportive field of safe and loving community, we’ll bring attention to how we lose our connection to inner freedom and bring wise and loving practices to our present moment experience.
We’ll attend to the trauma reactions in our nervous systems as we illuminate the attachment to thoughts that brings about suffering. We recognize and care for the young parts of ourselves that are behind our struggles in everyday life.
By working with what arises, we discover the possibility of expanding consciousness into clear, empty space. Here, we’re available to intimacy with nothing in the way, peace in our minds and bodies, and the capacity for awe and inspiration. This is our natural state and absolutely possible for you to experience!
Our time together includes guided meditation, practical teachings, helpful tools, and heartfelt conversation. Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand beyond the known into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. I’m excited to be with you!

The Art of Intimate and Authentic Relationships
Wednesday, September 2 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
Noon Eastern, 5pm BST, 6pm CET
on Zoom
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality.
Our focus for this meeting is on the art of intimate and authentic connecting in our relationships. And yes, it’s an art! We revisit this essential topic as we open to the messiness, confusion, and ever present possibility for presence and heart. Tending to our relationships is an ongoing practice…
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. Please pay what you can afford. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

Our connections with others offer the precious opportunity for sharing presence and embodying infinite compassion that welcomes all. How open can we be? What stories do we hold that keep us separate from others?
If we don’t feel free to be our authentic selves in our relationships, then a conditioned pattern has taken hold. We lose our grounding in love and openness, and we feel the pain of disconnection.
We’re identifying with limiting stories that tell us we’re not good enough or need to protect ourselves. Then we project our fears and needs onto others, hoping for things to improve, blaming and judging, but getting familiar results such as abandonment, rejection, and not being seen.
At the same time, others may be projecting their fears and needs onto us. That’s how we end up in a relationship dance that feels unfulfilling.
No wonder we feel lonely and isolated. We’re relating through patterns and not actually meeting each other for the intimate and loving connection we long for.
We learn about relating with others early on in our lives, and for some of us, the message is that we need to suppress our authenticity in order to feel safe. Instead, we try to connect by pleasing others, or we give up altogether and settle for disconnection. Navigating relationships can be confusing—and frustrating!
Come and explore the invitation to see through the veils of our conditioning that appear in our relationships. We’ll turn inward to lovingly meet the tender places in us that we’re afraid to express.
Then we’ll feel into the possibility of showing up with others—innocent and free—having the courage to inhabit what is naturally true and alive in us.
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll explore the limiting narratives we bring to our relationships and practice how to move beyond them—into freedom and authenticity.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.

Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Loving Attention to the Inner Critic
2026-09-09 09:00 - 10:30 | online
Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Loving Attention to the Inner Critic
Wednesday, September 9, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
Noon Eastern, 5pm BST
on Zoom
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.
Our focus for this meeting is on the harsh voice and false identity of the inner critic. Many of us are aware of this strong and negative habitual voice that appears in our minds. This voice can be shaming, militant, perfectionistic, and demanding.
Although its intention is often to protect us, it makes us contract into a separate and limited identity, turns us against our truth, and traps us by its high standards. We may not realize how stressful it is to live under its control.
Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. Please pay what you can afford. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.
Pay $15.00
Pay $9.00
Pay $4.00
In our time together, we’ll unpack the inner critic thought pattern with understanding and compassion. We’ll learn to identify when it has taken hold, and feel into the fear, grief, anger, and shame that lie at its core.
We’ll practice untangling our attention from what it tells us so we have the space to connect with what is true and alive in us. As our attachment to this voice softens, we’ll relax into ways of living that are kind and loving toward all that arises…and more aligned with the unity of all.
How do you work toward goals without the inner critic driving you? How do you function when when this critical and negative noise subsides? When the inner critic is in charge, we’re out of touch with our vulnerability, truth, and deep knowing. We’ll welcome these suppressed parts of ourselves into the light of loving awareness where they can flourish, innocent and free…
Through guided meditation, practical guidance, and heartfelt conversation, we’ll explore the freedom that’s possible, here and now, beyond the contraction of the inner critic.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.
