SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Deep Knowing Beyond the Sense of the Separate Self
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nDeep Knowing Beyond the Sense of the Separate Self \nWednesday\, December 7\, 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 discovering how we make ourselves feel separate and limited. When we believe that we are defined by our stories and feelings\, we live according to this constricted view. We’re prone to thinking about ourselves a lot\, maintaining safety and protection\, and taking things personally. There is a strong sense of the inner self fueled by fear and lack and the outer world that feels unsafe. The belief in the separate self is at the root of our psychological struggles in life. \nIn 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 spacious\, free and unattached. Here is where you discover aliveness\, creativity\, inspiration\, and the joy of living. We’ll shed light on deep inner listening and surrender in the moments of daily life that lovingly replace the need for control. \nYou’ll practice staying grounded in your present moment experience\, and from here we explore the programmed patterns that make up the sense of separation. \nWe 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. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice creating safe space for this deep exploration. 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? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, December 7\, 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. No longer a slave to external circumstances and inner chatter. 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. 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. \n“Your work is a bridge between practical daily life and Supreme Reality.” ~Henrique N. \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 \n  \n\n“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. \nIn 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…”\n~Gail \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 safety and trust needed for this deeper exploration.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Living in the Timeless Now
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nLiving in the Timeless Now \nWednesday\, December 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.

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 time and timelessness. If you are suffering\, then somehow the mind has drawn your attention into concepts of past and future. You carry patterns from the past into your present moment experience so you can’t be here fully. Or you believe something needs to change for you to be happy at some point in the future. These mind-made concepts 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.  \nThere 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\, veiled by time\, that are created in our minds.\n \nOur 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. \nRealizing 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. \nAs 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. \nCome 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. \nCome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, December 14\, 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—An Open Exploration of Attachment
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering: \nAn Open Exploration of Attachment \nWednesday\, December 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.

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 feeling into the experience of attachment—and the freedom that’s possible. When we make our happiness dependent on people\, money\, success\, possessions\, circumstances\, or even life itself\, we suffer. And when we align with our natural state\, free of all resistances\, we’re fully available to life as it is\, flowing with what appears\, and infinitely at peace. \nAttachments are sticky. Our freedom goes out the window as we spend our energy trying to keep what we want and reject what we don’t want\, meanwhile resisting the truth of the moment. We’re trying to fulfill our desires\, as we live in fear of what we could lose. \nBeing attached is a normal part of the human experience along with grieving the loss of people and things we love. And\, if we want peace\, we’re asked to continually say “yes” to reality as it is. \nTogether we’ll open to the topic of attachment. We’ll explore the nature of attachment\, the ways you’re attached\, and the immediate\, here-and-now possibility of freedom.  \nHow does attachment serve? With guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice creating safe space to investigate the tender places inside ourselves—and the living reality of our true nature beyond all attachments. 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? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, December 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.
