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

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together—Online Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together:\nEmbodied Awakening in Everyday Life \nTuesday\, April 19\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\non Zoom\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm GMT \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Embodied Awakening gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self\, unexplored trauma patterns\, and how to live the deepest nondual teachings of infinite oneness. \nHow do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What do you do with feeling disappointed\, hurt\, or bored? What about longstanding conditioned patterns that feel stuck? What about needs\, desires\, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments\, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations. \nYou’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience\, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that bring struggle to your life. Many of these patterns have plagued us for years. We hear about freedom as a possibility\, but we just don’t know how to find our way there. We feel stuck in the painful sense of separation…from ourselves and the sacredness of all of Life. \nFinally\, we realize that we can’t go it alone. Our disconnection from our divine nature happened in the context of relationship so we need to practice together—in a supportive and loving community—to find our way home. Come with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. Our time together will include guided meditation\, clarifying teachings\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nDetails \nTuesday\, April 19\, 2021 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5:00pm UK \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers.\nPlease register here.

Loving life the way it is.” ~Susan R. \n“I liked the sense of trust\, profound acceptance\, safety\, unconditional love and support that Gail brought to us.
