SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Two Truths About Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nTwo Truths About Awakening \nWednesday\, February 5\, 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 two truths about awakening. You may notice that your mind comes up with ideas about what awakening is. Our thoughts project into the future\, creating stories and images about what this experience will or should be like.  \nAnd when we believe these ideas\, we’re in a state of lack—believing we’re missing out on this experience of awakening and desperately hoping it will occur at some time in the future. This thought pattern can lead people to seek for decades\, endlessly reading books\, watching videos\, and sitting with teachers. \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\nOne essential truth about realizing your true nature is that it can’t be known by the mind. The mind is always operating in the realm of concepts—and awakened awareness is known only by direct experience\, unmediated by the mind.  \nThis means we need to be aware of the mind’s conceptualizing function and know not to believe it. Then we’re poised to turn our attention toward the infinite source of all. \nAnother truth about awakening is that it already is the reality of our experience. It is simply masked by our attachment to the content of our thinking.  \nWe don’t become anything…rather\, we realize what is already true here and now. Awakened awareness is eternally present\, outside of the concept of time\, prior to birth and death and the arising of all objects. \nThis means we don’t need to move one millimeter from where we are to know the truth of our being. \nThrough guided meditation\, practical guidance\, and heartfelt conversation\, we’ll explore these two essential truths about awakening. In loving community\, we’ll courageously inquire\, investigate\, open\, and celebrate the truth—beyond thinking and completely free of any limitation.  \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\, February 5\, 2025 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. \nimage

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—You Were Never Broken
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nYou Were Never Broken \nWednesday\, February 12\, 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 the mistaken identity that we are broken and beyond repair. We develop this common belief about ourselves when we believe what our minds tell us and the messages we received when we were young. \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\n We live with this belief defining who we are\, which sets in motion attempts to fix ourselves. We just can’t seem to find the inner peace and well-being we long for.  \nSo if peace is possible (it is)\, where do we find it? \nHoping to feel better at some future point in time will keep us searching forever. Instead\, our suffering calls us to turn inward in any moment to explore this essential question: “Who am I?” If you are not the broken one your thoughts tell you that you are\, who are you?  \nInstead of answering this question directly\, we’re invited first to meet the fullness of our experience in the present moment with unconditional love and care. We get curious about the thoughts and feelings that we find at the core of our personal identity…rather than assuming they’re true. As we open to all that is\, including and beyond that identity\, we discover spaciousness\, tenderness\, and the capacity to be present with what’s here right now…our original innocence prior to all our human experiences. \nAnd this changes everything\, including how we feel inside\, our choices\, and our relationships. Over time\, the habit of these limiting identities relaxes\, giving way to moments of uncaused peace and simple happiness. We find space for new ways of being and relating far beyond the sense of being broken. \nAnd our hearts expand into quiet\, effortless intimacy with all. \nWith guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll explore the question\, “Who am I really?” and make the miraculous discovery that we’ve never been broken. 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\, February 12\, 2025\, 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“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. 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. I had been stuck for so long and by listening to your sage advice\, am finally starting to see and feel the light.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—From Darkness to Light...Welcoming Everything
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFrom Darkness to Light…Welcoming Everything \nWednesday\, February 19\, 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nNoon Eastern\, 5pm BST on 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 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. \nWhat 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. \nPerhaps 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. \nWe’re overlooking the possibility of resting in our true nature…as it is…right in this moment…with no resistance whatsoever. \nIn 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. \nNo longer efforting to avoid and defend\, the light of our true nature shines everywhere…endlessly… \nCome 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. \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\, February 19\, 2025 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“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.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Rest in Being; Not in Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nRest in Being; Not in Thinking \nWednesday\, February 26\, 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.

Do you look to your thoughts to determine your reality? Do you trust what your mind tells you about yourself and the world? Are you feeling stressed? Then your thoughts have more power than you might realize. \nWith few exceptions\, the thoughts that appear in our minds express the human fear-based needs to know and control. We spin in our heads with judgments\, self-criticisms\, comparisons\, and worries about the future\, trying to figure it all out. \nThese thoughts divide the world into right and wrong\, good and bad\, safe and unsafe. And meanwhile we long to let it all be so we can just rest in Being… \nIn our time together\, we gather in loving community to explore our relationship to thinking. What is our felt experience when we’re taken over by the mind? \nAnd if we let go of the habit of thinking\, what remains? Can we trust enough to rest in Being\, not in thinking… \nAll are welcome to join us for guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation as we explore beyond the mind to realize the possibility of peace…right here…in the silent overflowing fullness of the infinite now… \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, February 26\, 2025 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“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.
