When we begin to open beyond the limiting and repetitive stories in the mind\, we discover a tremendous amount of space for fresh and new ways of being.  \n No longer caught in self-focused thinking\, we become aware that the gifts of our human capacities are in service to Life\, which includes everything in form. \n How can the infinite spaciousness of awakening infuse our bodies\, minds\, and hearts? How can we bring this deep knowing into how we show up with ourselves\, others\, and life situations? This is what we’ll explore in our time together.  \nPlease register here.

With this shift\, we begin to notice that our bodies are naturally more relaxed\, our minds are free\, and our hearts overflow with gratitude and generosity. \nThe invitation into the embodiment of awakening is available to all. Even as we feel identified with our conditioned patterns and explore what remains of them\, we can still practice aligning our bodies\, minds\, and hearts with their natural state. \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll explore each of these realms of our human experience and practice embodying our essential freedom as a lived experience in every moment.  \nLet’s practice the direct experience of living this freedom! \nTogether\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nQuestions?

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 \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“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. \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 \n“You radiate such warmth\, kindness\, beauty and wisdom.

Your light helps us to shine our own.” ~Julie Desmarais \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.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Working with the Reactivity of Our Emotions
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nWorking with the Reactivity of Our Emotions \nWednesday\, July 10\, 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 is the laboratory as we open to the myth of the separate self\, unexplored trauma patterns\, and the right now experience of nondual reality. \nOur focus for this meeting is on slowing down and staying grounded so we can work with the reactivity of our emotions.  \nWe all know what it’s like to be taken over by emotions. We’re caught in the mind’s narrative about what’s happening\, and our bodies are tied up in knots. Then our actions follow from this limited lens\, and here we are again\, in a familiar place of drama and frustration. Sound familiar? \nBringing spaciousness to our emotions changes everything. We slow down…pause…and embrace the art of getting curious about our emotional experience. We take the time to investigate emotions as they arise—with great precision. This careful meeting of what is breathes freshness into every moment. \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\nWe get to know our emotional reactivity so well that we begin to find space—to ground ourselves in clarity\, understanding\, and love for all. We recognize how the stories of emotion grab us and feel the tendencies to act in ways that come from fear and hurt…rather than from openheartedness. We notice how these stories close down our hearts and lead us into separation.  \n We need the power of community when it comes to our emotions. Together\, we’ll take our time to breathe\, relax\, and feel into the safety of our relational space. We’ll tenderly explore our emotional experience in detail\, including the nervous system\, body sensations and energies\, familiar narratives\, and the actions that follow. And we’ll feel into and practice new and loving ways of being\, within ourselves and with others.   \n Through guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll bring a new level of awareness to emotions so they no longer hijack our capacity for wise responding. Infusing our emotional experience with heart-centered awareness\, we move forward with expanded capacities for presence..kindness…and intimate connection… \nYou 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. \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, July 10\, 2024 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“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.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—The Art of Intimate and Authentic Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nThe Art of Intimate and Authentic Relationships \nWednesday\, July 17\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST\, 6pm CET\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. \nOur focus for this meeting is on intimate and authentic connecting in our relationships. 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. \nWe’re identifying with the limiting story that tells us we’re not good enough or need to be in control. 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. \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\nAt 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. \nNo 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. \nWe 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! \nCome 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. \nThen 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. \nThrough 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. \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\, July 17\, 2024 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—Core Practices for Trauma Healing and Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nCore Practices for Trauma Healing and Awakening\n \nWednesday\, July 24\, 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. \nOur focus for this meeting is on core practices for the path of awakening and trauma healing in everyday life. These are the five core practices I described in my book Suffering Is Optional. Practices give us tools to rely on when strong conditioned patterns take hold and help us to integrate our deep love for freedom into the moments of our actual human lives. \nAs we explore and practice loving self-care for the patterns that arise in us\, we realize these old stories don’t accurately define who we are. Then we’re much more available to fully experience life as it is in the present moment…unlimited and free…  \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nDo you want peace and freedom to be your living reality? Do you want to authentically connect with yourself and others? Then practice now with whatever habitual reactions appear. Let every story\, emotion\, and identity come into the light of awareness so you know exactly how you end up feeling limited and triggered.  \nNo longer veiled by conditioning\, you’ll expand into spaciousness\, fresh responding\, and an infinite capacity for love. \nHere are the five core practices: \n\nTurning toward your experience;\nThe safe haven of being aware;\nLosing interest in thoughts;\nWelcoming feelings; and\nThe sacred return to loving aware presence.\n\nThese practices are like breadcrumbs on the spiritual path to support you in finding your way back from the illusion of made-up stories to the realization of the truth of your essential self. You discover that who you are has always been whole\, fully alive\, and overflowing as love… You discover the freedom to be yourself fully.  \nIn our time together\, we’ll unpack these five practices so they feel accessible to all. Through guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll open to all that is with compassion and love as we find our way home.  \nCome 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 appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. \nDetails \nWednesday\, July 24\, 2024 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.
