SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Compassionate Inquiry: How We Avoid and Resist
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nCompassionate Inquiry: How We Avoid and Resist \nWednesday\, January 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 is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living\, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality. \n“What you resist not only persists\, but will grow in size.”\n~Carl Jung \nOur focus for this meeting is on a compassionate investigation of the human tendency to avoid and resist our experience. \nIt’s our natural\, awakened state to resist nothing. When the illusion of separation is seen through\, there’s simply the effortless free flow of experience continually welcoming everything. \nThere is no threat\, no fear\, and no sense of a person who needs to avoid or defend. \nBut add in human reactions\, fears\, needs\, and expectations\, and the world starts to feel unsafe. We leave the peace of our true nature to defend\, control\, and avoid our own experience. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nIf you want to know the luminous peace of your true nature\, then it’s wise to know how and when you resist. \nWhat is resistance? It’s an activity of the agitated mind that says\, “no!” to our present moment experience. It’s a desire to cling to some experiences and push others away—a desire for ourselves\, others\, and the world to be different—because if things were different\, then we will finally be at peace.  \nWe recognize ways we avoid and resist with tenderness\, as they were needed at some time in the past for protection and safety. \nIn our sacred time together\, we’ll lovingly open to how and why we turn away from our own experience—and the truth of the moment. Why do we resist what is? What is the form of resistance we call spiritual bypassing? \nAnd we’ll invite in the possibility of opening to all that is with infinite openness and curiosity. We end the inner war with our experience as we relax into the peace beyond peace. \nAll are welcome as we lovingly embrace our humanness…and expand into overflowing appreciation\, vibrant joy\, and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you! \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, January 7\, 2026 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.  \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\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—Inner Silence Is a Superpower
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nInner Silence Is a Superpower \nWednesday\, January 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 is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living\, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality. \nOur focus for this meeting is on cultivating inner silence. Beneath the swirling mind\, beneath emotions\, beneath the pull of our reactions is a field of silence…the calm center that is always here. \n\nChoose the amount you would like to pay.Option 1 $15.00 USDOption 2 $9.00 USDOption 3 $4.00 USD\n\n\nDiscover this silence just for a moment\, and it becomes a sanctuary\, a safe place to rest. Silence offers the possibility of a reset; it’s the space of awareness that gives us insight into our thinking minds and conditioned patterns instead of being absorbed in them. \nDuring my first silent meditation retreat years ago\, I discovered the well of silence beneath my thinking mind. Settling into this deep quiet led me to the shocking realization of negative thoughts running nonstop. The reason for my suffering became crystal clear—I had believed these thoughts without question and they formed my experience of my everyday reality. \nNo wonder I was unhappy! \nThis insight that changed everything for me became available only by knowing inner silence. \nIn our time together\, we’ll explore the direct experience of inner silence. We slow down…get quiet…turn our attention away from our thinking minds…and connect with the alive presence that’s here as the foundation of any moment. \nFrom this silent field\, we study how our minds work and feel into the urge to move into our conditioned patterns. And we rest in open Beingness\, free of any defined personal identity. Inner silence is presence that deepens our connection with everything and everyone. It’s the field from which awe\, joy\, and creativity flow. \nOur gatherings offer safe and loving community for guided meditation\, practical teachings\, helpful tools\, and heartfelt conversation. Together we share inner silence and our love of freedom! I look forward to being with you… \nQuestions? Please contact Gail here. \nDetails \nWednesday\, January 14\, 2026 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.  \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Finding Peace with Long-Held Trauma Stories
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nFinding Peace with Long-Held Trauma Stories\n \nWednesday\, January 21\, 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 is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living\, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality. \nOur focus for this meeting is on coming to completion with repetitive stories from our past.  \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\nWhether we feel stuck in regret for our own past actions or blame others for their actions\, keeping these stories alive now impacts our minds\, hearts\, bodies\, and sense of freedom.  \nImmersed in wanting the past to be different\, the stories repeat in our minds now along with sadness\, anger\, guilt and shame. It’s a form of secret suffering that we carry into the moments of our lives. We feel separate\, frustrated\, and unable to live fully.  \nIn our time together\, we’ll address how to come to peace with these familiar narratives. No matter what happened in the past\, the key is to take an active and empowered role in our own healing.  \nWe’ll discover that we can form a new relationship with how the events from the past live in us. Leaving the harsh reality of blame\, regret\, and wishful thinking\, we’ll open to clear seeing and compassion…for ourselves and other people.  \nFinally\, we realize we can’t go it alone. We follow the path of our indigenous ancestors of being held by community for healing and restoration of our essential wholeness. \nWe support each other—in loving community—as we illuminate our inner experience to understand exactly where we’re stuck..and find our way back home to peace\, freedom\, and all-encompassing love. \nDetails \nWednesday\, January 21\, 2026 9:00am – 10:30am Pacific\nStarts at noon Eastern\, 5:00pm BST\, 6:00pm 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.

SUMMARY:Coming Home Together Online Gathering—Being the Healing Space of Loving Presence
DESCRIPTION:Coming Home Together Online Gathering:\nBeing the Healing Space of Loving Presence \nWednesday\, January 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 is a safe space and loving community for trauma healing and awakened living\, informed by the deepest teachings of nondual reality. \nPlease register here.

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\nOur focus for this meeting is on exploring the healing capacity of boundless loving presence. The true nature of who we are includes everything with no resistance. It offers a continual open “yes” to everything that appears as life unfolds.\n \nThis deep and natural acceptance is profoundly healing to the pain of our early trauma patterns. For many of us\, it’s what we’ve longed for our whole lives…and it invites us into our true nature—relaxed\, open\, and available to life. \nGrowing up without this loving acceptance\, we developed strategies to protect ourselves\, contracting into patterns of withdrawal\, people-pleasing\, control\, or incessant stressful thinking. We’ve been caught in strong emotions\, not knowing how to find our way to peace. \nWe looked outward toward others to find unconditional acceptance\, and sadly learned that the people around us may not have been capable of offering it. And now we can recognize that this loving presence is actually the nature of reality that has been here all along. It’s the timeless medicine that welcomes home all parts of ourselves with unconditional love. \nAs we take our stand here as this openness\, we find the loving space that holds these painful residues from the past. As the parts absorb into this ever-present love\, their tension relaxes\, and we discover the safety to be our full freedom. \nNo longer clouded by trauma patterns\, we find the capacity for true connection\, steadiness of being\, creative expression\, and utter delight in the simple pleasures of everyday life. \nAnd miraculously\, we find that we can hold this unconditional loving space for others as well. \nOur gathering offers a supportive field of safe and authentic relating. With guided meditation\, teachings\, and conversation\, we’ll practice being the space of boundless love—for ourselves and others. \nCome with your fears\, doubts\, shame\, and questions—and simply to share sacred space together in community with like-minded friends. Together\, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life. I look forward to being with you! \nQuestions?
