We all want to feel good in our lives, to be relaxed and feel peaceful, optimistic, and inspired. This is our birthright, our natural way of being.
Why is this not our everyday experience? Unexplored trauma is at the root of patterns that keep us stuck in emotional pain and limited in life. We long to be free, but somehow these same patterns keep getting played out in our mind, emotions, relationships, and choices in life.
Come and join this powerful 5-session course as we create a safe and supportive healing community to do the deep work of trauma healing. Trauma happens in relationships that lack the safety we need. In this course, we come together to offer a safe space that welcomes you just as you are—with your fears, self-doubts, shame, and confusion.
Through focused teachings, guided meditation, group sharing, and experiments during and between our sessions, you’ll learn to untangle your conditioned patterns from the past and find your way home to being present and alive in your life as it is right now. This is where you’re available to creativity, enthusiasm, and the simple joys of everyday living.
Your daily life will be the laboratory as we explore specific tools to feel grounded and safe within yourself and your relationships.
Module 1: How trauma works
Practice: Grounding in the present with curiosity and openness
Feb 12, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST
First, we’ll slow everything down so you can begin to lovingly open to all parts of yourself. Then we get curious about what we discover. We’ll practice using the breath and our senses to create a safe and welcoming base as we begin to become aware of the hidden parts of ourselves. This is what heals shame.
Module 2: Getting to know our patterns
Practice: Compassion for all of our experience
Feb 16, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST
We’ll explore our repetitive patterns through journaling and small group explorations. We’ll turn toward the fear behind these patterns to meet it with love and care. Gently, we become aware of exactly how we get caught so we can question limiting beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, and the world. The possibility for freedom dawns.
Module 3: How the body holds trauma
Practice: Attuning to the body with love and care
Feb 19, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST
We’ll bring awareness to the body and explore how the nervous system gets activated when we’re triggered. We’ll discuss a range of practices for caring for the body, especially during stressful times. This is how you find the space to live more fully in the present.
Module 4: What is an emotion?
Practice: Navigating the waves of difficult emotions
Feb 23, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST
Turning toward all of our experience with compassion, we learn to embrace our emotions with the unconditional love they desperately long for. Together, we’ll practice holding safe space for ourselves and our emotions at a pace that feels right, staying connected to our own individual needs.
Module 5: Living fully in everyday life
Practice: Opening beyond our patterns into ease and well-being
Feb 26, 2022 9:00am – 11:00am PST
With growing trust in staying grounded, we’ll explore the practicalities of daily life with more openness and ease. How do you bring this new sense of freedom into your relationships and life situations? We’ll feel into the possibility of taking care of old patterns that arise as we live more and more in our full aliveness now.

Stress and worry… people pleasing… persistent relationship struggles… proving yourself through accomplishments… the inner critic… these longstanding patterns are profound invitations for compassion and understanding. Together, we’ll lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into peace, connection, and everyday joy.

Trauma Healing & Embodied Awakening
Thursday, March 10, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
on Zoom
Noon Eastern, 5pm GMT
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
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, unexplored trauma patterns, 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 longstanding conditioned patterns that feel stuck? What about needs, desires, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations.
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…”

Awakening in Relationships: A Mini-Retreat

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

“You radiate such warmth, kindness, beauty and wisdom. I had been stuck for so long and by listening to your sage advice, am finally starting to see and feel the light. Thank you for being a beacon in tumultuous times. Your light helps us to shine our own.” ~Julie Desmarais
“What you’re pointing to is so difficult to talk about in words, but you describe it so brilliantly and give such practical, actionable steps to follow that I truly, deeply get it. I just cannot express to you how transformative your approach has been for me.” ~Sandra Joseph, Broadway star and author of Unmasking What Matters

Facing the Cascade of Crises
With Michael Meade and Gail Brenner

In the long run, what moves and heals and stirs the individual soul can also move and heal the world.
Join mythologist/storyteller Michael Meade and therapist/teacher Gail Brenner for a live online community conversation, where we will share and reflect on ways to cope with our troubled and unsettled world through storytelling, ancient myths, and small groups inquiry.

Getting to the Core of Early Trauma
Thursday, May 5, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
on Zoom
Noon Eastern, 5pm GMT
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness.
Our focus for this meeting is giving our compassionate attention to how disruption in our early relationships affects us. If we felt unsafe, rejected, unseen, or disconnected early in our lives, we develop an identity that we are unworthy, not good enough, or wounded beyond repair. And we grow up trying to figure out how to cope with the sense that something is missing. Some of the ways we do that are overachieving, perfectionism, people pleasing, self-judgment, or hiding from life.
Together, we create a field of safe space to explore these tender parts of ourselves. As we discover we can meet them with deep acceptance and care, we have space to realize there is so much more to life!
Our time together includes guided meditation, teachings for understanding our inner experience, practical tools, and heartfelt conversation. We turn our attention inward to recognize our mind-made limits and the stories that create personal suffering.
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 longstanding conditioned patterns that feel stuck? What about needs, desires, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations.
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.
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…”

Online Gathering—Relationships and Early Trauma

Coming Home Together Online Gathering:
Relationships and Early Trauma
Wednesday, May 11, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific
on Zoom
Noon Eastern, 5pm GMT
Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness.
Our focus for this meeting is on how disruptions in our early relationships with our parents and caregivers affect our capacity to form authentic and intimate relationships throughout our lives. If we felt unsafe, rejected, unseen, or disconnected early in our lives, we’re invited to learn how to take care of these younger parts of ourselves so we can show up fully now with ourselves and others. That’s how we stop projecting out our needs and fears and expecting other people to satisfy what we missed in our childhoods.
Here’s the good news: our capacity for fulfilling relationships is still alive in us, here to be discovered and lived. Together, we create a field of safe space to explore how we feel stuck and separate. As we discover we can meet these tender places in ourselves with deep acceptance and care, we have space to open to the intimacy that is possible. We’ll explore practical ways to be more present in our interactions.
Our time together includes guided meditation, teachings for understanding our inner experience, helpful tools, and heartfelt conversation. We turn our attention inward to recognize our mind-made limits and the stories that create personal suffering.
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 longstanding conditioned patterns that feel stuck? What about needs, desires, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations.
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.

The Coming Home Together gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness.
Our focus for this meeting is on recognizing how early trauma patterns limit us from living fully. When the stories, beliefs, and emotions that come from our early experiences inhabit our minds, bodies, hearts, and being, our view of all that is possible is restricted.
It’s like we’re looking through a window full of smudges—we can’t see that so much possibility is available outside this narrowed view. In fact, beyond our patterns is infinite possibility beyond anything our minds could come up with.
In a supportive field of loving connection, we’ll bring attention to how we feel limited by our familiar patterns that developed early in life. And we’ll explore outside these known ways of being, into the unknown that is overflowing with aliveness, spaciousness, creativity, and love. This is your natural being, who you have always been…

The Coming Home Together gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness.
Our focus for this meeting is on exploring some of the qualities that serve us well as we live the freedom of our true nature. No matter how deep our experience is of the openness beyond time and space, it serves to bring attention into the moments of everyday life. How can we live them fully, informed by the inner knowing 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, and life? What is it like to live without the illusion of the separate self?
In a supportive field of loving connection, 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…

This meeting offers a taste of the upcoming 3-day course on waking up in our relationships (click here to learn more and register).
Our focus for this meeting is on exploring ways to bring presence into our relationships. Your concerns, questions, and stuck places are welcome as we untangle conditioned ways of being and open to connection and intimacy beyond fear. How can you stay connected with kindness and love? What about resentments and unmet needs? How do we handle the tender places inside ourselves that get triggered?
Together, we will explore the human experience of relationship informed by the truth of loving beingness that lies behind our fears and defensive patterns. And it starts with our relationship with ourselves and our own experience. This is how we find safety within, even in the midst of challenging interactions.
We begin in our own supportive field of loving connection as we feel into the intimacy that’s possible…and celebrate the one heart beyond all separation.
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.

Are you passionate about embodying awakened consciousness in everyday life? Then let’s explore our relationships. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness.
In this sacred time of retreat together, we create a field of safe space to explore the patterns we bring to our relationships that create a sense of separation—from ourselves, others, and 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.
People-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.
Untying 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.
With guided inner reflection, journaling exercises, small group practice, and Q&A, we’ll practice creating safe space for deep connection. We’ll explore practical ways to be more present in our interactions. You’ll leave with new insights, ways to experiment in daily life, and tools for being in your relationships as a pathway for awakening. I look forward to being with you!
Day 1: Our relationship with our own experience. We’ll begin by exploring how we disconnect from our selves and practice bringing loving awareness to all of our experience.
Day 2: Our relationships with others. We’ll identify patterns of relating that develop from our early experience and practice staying grounded in ourselves so we can find space to stay present in our interactions.
Day 3: Practical tools and skills. We’ll explore and practice new ways of relating so you can show up in your relationships more authentic and loving.

Recording will be available and sent to all who register.
The Coming Home Together gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness.
Our focus for this meeting is on the perceived sense of the separate self. When we believe that we are defined by our stories and feelings, we live in the world of separation. We are prone to thinking about ourselves a lot, reassuring our safety and protection, and taking things personally. The belief in the separate self is at the root of our psychological struggles in life.
In 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 free and unattached. Here is where you discover aliveness, creativity, inspiration, and the joy of living. We’ll shed the light on deep inner listening and surrender in the moments of daily life.
You’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that make up the sense of separation.
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 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 control and surrender. When we’re identified with the human mind that makes us feel afraid and lacking, we try to control ourselves, situations, and other people. We leave the unattached free flow of life that just is as we strive to keep ourselves safe and get our needs met. This movement to control is based on wanting what we don’t have and ultimately doesn’t bring us the peace we long for. We end up feeling contracted, anxious, and ill-at-ease.
The invitation is to surrender our need for control and our sense of separation and let life emerge through us. We live squarely in the not knowing, listening deeply, receiving what’s given without resistance. This is how we reconnect with our divine nature, the deepest truth of our being.
Listening to silence, we’re one with effortless unfolding of life in form.
In our supportive field of loving connection, we’ll explore the fear-based conditioned patterns that motivate us to try to control what’s happening around us. We’ll feel into the limits of this motivation and how it shows up in our bodies and minds. Then, meeting fear with welcoming and unconditional acceptance, we’ll discover the space to expand beyond the limited self into openness, pure being, and joyful flow as a living reality.
We realize the value of exploring these essential questions in the safe space of loving community. Our disconnection from our divine nature happened in the context of relationship so we need to practice together—and support each other—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 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 five core practices for the path of awakening in everyday life. Practices help us to integrate our deep love for freedom into the moments of our actual human lives and give us tools to rely on when strong conditioned patterns take hold. Do you want the possibility of freedom to be your living reality? Then practice living it now with whatever appears. Let every single part of your experience come into the light of awareness, leaving no stone unturned. That’s how the hidden beliefs at the root of the sense of separation (such as, “I am inadequate”) are finally seen as the made-up stories that they are.
We will unpack the five core practices I introduced in my book, Suffering Is Optional. They are:

Turning toward your experience;
The safe haven of being aware;
Losing interest in thoughts;
Welcoming feelings; and
The sacred return to loving aware presence.

These practices are like breadcrumbs on the spiritual path to support you in finding your way back from the illusion of reality created by your thoughts to the realization of the truth of your essential self. They’re not things you do to reach a goal. Rather, they guide you to ultimately realize that the practice and the knowing of freedom are one and the same. Do any of these practices with not a sliver of resistance, and you’ll discover that who you are has always been whole, fully alive, and overflowing as love…
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 generosity of being. When we are living as if the sense of the separate self is true and real, our experience of ourselves—and of life—is narrowed into our mind-made fears. That’s why it’s impossible to feel comfortable in our lives.
As we embark on the deep and heartfelt investigation of true nature, our focus shifts from a limited view of reality to one that is spacious, infinite, and free. We leave the tunnel vision of old, unexplored ideas as we expand into our true home…timeless, boundless, unlimited by past and future.
The identity that we’re inadequate no longer applies, and we might feel the constriction of fear, but the call for authentic living is much stronger. We experience a wide-ranging generosity of being that we bring to all of our perceptions—of ourselves, others, situations in life, why things are the way they are. The world looks different because we’re seeing it differently from the inside—from silence, overflowing compassion, and profound acceptance of all that is.
Come explore ways to realize generosity of being in your own experience. We’ll bring attention to the scared and tender parts of us that limit our view of the world…and explore beyond them into the possibility alive in us that is free of all limits, flowing endlessly…
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.

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. There 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 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, and infinite knowing. 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.

Our focus for this meeting is on investigating the nature of consciousness as welcoming everything without resistance. Standing in the unconditional “yes” to all that is, there’s peace, non-attachment, and openness to whatever arises. The walls of separation that create our struggles in life soften, and our whole being is experienced as fully alive in the timeless Now.
What blocks our lived experience of this peacefulness? Being taken over by our conditioned patterns. It’s like we’re in a trance, believing the story of our thoughts, lost in our feelings, and contracted into a limited view of ourselves, others, and the world. When we’re in this state, we’re not welcoming everything.
Perhaps from early on in our lives, we learn that it’s just not safe to be. We’re afraid of turning toward emotional pain, so it goes outside of awareness. We turn away from ourselves, betraying our truth and playing out strategies to hide from, avoid, or reject our present moment experience. Then our focus goes “out there” into the world, trying to fix our problems and find the peace and happiness we long for.
We’re overlooking the possibility of resting in our true nature…as it is…right in this moment…with no resistance whatsoever.
In our time together, we’ll shine the light on the ways we resist our present moment experience. And we’ll practice the felt reality of being the spaciousness that naturally welcomes everything.
No longer efforting to avoid and defend, the light of our true nature shines everywhere…endlessly…
Come explore the possibility of welcoming everything. 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.

Our focus for this meeting is on the value of deep trauma healing to tend the ground for awakened living. Unexamined trauma is at the root of our conditioned patterns and makes the sense of the separate self seem real. We long for freedom and maybe have had a taste of our true nature, but somehow these patterns keep getting played out automatically in our minds, emotions, relationships, and choices in life. We feel caught in the painful sense of separation…from ourselves and the sacredness of all of Life.
In loving and supportive community, we’ll explore how conditioned patterns keep us feeling separate. We’ll address how we resist—by believing our fear-based mindsets and avoiding or indulging our emotions. Meeting these resistances with welcoming and unconditional acceptance, we’ll discover the space to expand beyond the limited self into openness, pure being, relaxation, and joyful flow as a living reality.
You are welcome just as you are with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions—and simply to share sacred space with like-minded friends.
Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation 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.

Our focus for this meeting is on embodying the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness in the sacred space of our relationships.
In our time together, we’ll explore the patterns we bring to our relationships that create a sense of separation—from ourselves, others, and 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.
People-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.
Untying 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.
With 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!

“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…”

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.
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 is 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.

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. 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’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!
Our 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.
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 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.
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.

Noon Eastern, 5pm BST

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 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.

When 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.
Our 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.
It’s boundless, sacred, beyond human form, and experienced as all-inclusive welcoming of all.
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.

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…
This is true love…divine, impersonal, the source of all, the fabric of Life with nothing separate from it.
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.
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.
In our time together, we’ll inquire into our experience of love. What separates you from love? How available are you to this experience? How is your heart doing? How can this knowing of impersonal love inform your relationships and everyday life?
We lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation, vibrant joy, and deep connection with all of Life.
