New Year’s Gathering 2026 ~ Celebrating Our Divine Presence With Mystical Poetry, Song and Silence ~ Bay Area
Christine Tulis, harpist, singer and healing artist, and Judith Shiner, PhD., poet and spiritual mentor, invite you to join us for a sacred gathering of song, poetry, silence and dialogue, as, with tender hearts, we welcome this time of new beginnings and honor the divine intelligence animating our being. Through the rich gifts of mystical poetry delicately layered with sublime harp music, we move from our mind into our heart and rest in the deep knowing of our soul’s wisdom. Weaving periods of contemplation and dialogue with poetry and music, we create a powerful love field in which divine guidance is welcomed. Christine is a healing arts practitioner offering deeply restorative sessions and sound healing experiences rooted in the trust in our innate capacity to heal, and Judith is a creative visionary, often on the forefront of creating new programs that focus on self-awareness and living from what is true, using the power of presence to reveal the subconscious parts of the false self so they can be transformed by awareness

Saturday, January 24, 2026 @ 9:00am-10:30am (Pacific Time) at Online Video Meeting (phone access also available)Susanne Marie ~ The Paradox of Being and Becoming
“Always being, always becoming” speaks to something quietly and profoundly true. Within us is an aspect that has never changed, already whole, complete, and present, even as life continues to unfold, evolve, and express itself. Awakening does not bring our human unfolding to an end. Rather, it reveals becoming as a natural expression of being. Without being, human becoming can lose its balance and become caught in endless striving, risking getting lost in experience. Without becoming, being has no place to land, no ground through which it can learn and grow. Susanne Marie offers integrated teachings in support of freedom, and the celebration of our common essence of love and unity with all life. As a natural empath, her teaching style is heart-centered and practical, whose focus is on supporting you in your unique awakening journey.
