SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Awake in Our Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nAwake in Our Relationships \nWednesday\, September 14\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.

These are fear-based programmed ways of being that we learned early in our lives and left us feeling unsafe\, rejected\, unseen\, or disconnected. \nPeople-pleasing\, withdrawal\, inflating or deflating ourselves in comparison to others\, holding grudges\, and defensiveness… These are signs of unexamined contractions that are waiting for liberation. \nUntying the knots that lie at the core of our relationship struggles brings freshness\, ease\, and space for new and authentic ways of being. We discover we can meet the tender places in ourselves with deep acceptance and care…and have space to open to intimate connection beyond our personal selves. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice creating safe space for deep connection. Together\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand beyond the known into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you! \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—From Cluttered Mind to Radiant\, Open Mind
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFrom Cluttered Mind to Radiant\, Open Mind  \nWednesday\, September 21\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living.

If we’re interested in being alive to our present moment experience\, this is a useful exploration. Because it’s attachment to the contents of the mind that takes us away. \nIn our time together\, we’ll look at the ways the mind works\, including judgments\, opinions\, comparisons\, stories\, and general nonstop commentary. What is behind the mind’s functioning? How does it create the sense of separation? And what is it like to be less involved with thinking? (Hint: it’s not about making thoughts stop.)  \nThrough guided meditation\, we’ll experiment with letting go of the mind’s stories and instead rest here…in open spaciousness…in pure loving awareness… \nWe move from a mind-created “reality” to realize the direct experience of what is here and alive right now…with a radiant mind clear and open like the sky… \nWe come together in the sacred space of loving community for this deep exploration\, including teachings\, conversation\, and Q&A. Bring all of you—your fears\, doubt\, shame\, questions—and joy. All is welcome! \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, unconditional welcoming of what is\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, September 21\, 2022 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Bringing Wise Inquiry to Early Trauma Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nBringing Wise Inquiry to Early Trauma Patterns \nWednesday\, September 28\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\non Zoom \nRecording will be available and sent to all who register. \nThe Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life will be the laboratory as we explore the myth of the separate self\, unexplored trauma patterns\, and everyday living of the deepest teachings of nondual reality. \nPlease register here. Once you register\, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nOur focus for this meeting is on giving our compassionate attention to how disruption in our early relationships affects us. If we felt unsafe\, rejected\, unseen\, or disconnected early in our lives\, we develop an identity that we are unworthy\, not good enough\, or wounded beyond repair. And we grow up trying to figure out how to cope with the sense that something is missing. Some of the ways we do that are overachieving\, perfectionism\, people pleasing\, self-judgment\, or hiding from life. \nTogether\, we create a field of safe space to explore these tender parts of ourselves. We’ll delve deeply into the how-to of this inquiry for meeting our experience with acceptance\, compassion\, and care. And we’ll discover the space to realize there is so much more to life than our patterns! \nOur time together includes guided meditation\, teachings for understanding our inner experience\, practical tools\, and heartfelt conversation. We turn our attention inward to find our way through the mind-made limits and the stories that create personal suffering. \nHow do you handle a frustrating encounter with someone? How do you navigate your relationships? What do you do with feeling disappointed\, hurt\, or bored? What about needs\, desires\, and stressful times? We’ll carefully shed the light of awareness on your personal attachments\, bringing a loving perspective and clarity to these common life situations. \nFinally\, we realize that we can’t go it alone. Our disconnection from our divine nature happened in the context of relationship so we need to practice together—in a supportive and loving community—to find our way home. Come with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, September 28\, 2022 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific \nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET \nRecording will be sent to everyone who registers. \nA sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nFriends are saying: \n\n“I am now experiencing longer moments of pure awareness and joy.
