Jeannie Zandi ~ Relating from Presence ~ *San Rafael June 27th* & *SF June 29* & *Berkeley July 1st*
Join Jeannie and friends for an exploration of relating from a rooted sovereignty in Presence. Jeannie's gift for inviting people to join her in resting and rooted presence evokes a deep meeting with oneself and reality. Within that, her humor and iconoclasm serve to bring people into an understanding that is beyond the intellectual. Through silent and guided meditation, spontaneous talks, exchange, experiential exercises and movement, Jeannie will host a space of clarity and warmth where the true richness of life can be experienced and your innermost spiritual questions can be met fully. Come join us! Jeannie Zandi is the director of Living as Love, a nonprofit organization dedicated to seeding a culture of the Heart on the planet, inspiring, teaching and supporting people to live from their essence as Love. A year before the birth of her daughter, Jeannie was plunged into a dark night of the soul that culminated in a radical shift of consciousness. She is known for her fearless clarity, tender mercy toward humanness, and a juicy, poetic and often humorous style that draws from Advaita Vedanta, Sufism, Christian mysticism and the ongoing revelation of fully engaged living. Residing in Colorado, she travels widely in the US, bringing a down-to-earth embodied teaching of living as love. ---- JEANNIE ZANDI WILL ALSO BE WITH US IN SAN FRANCISCO JUNE 29th at 7 pm and BERKELEY JULY 1st: at 10:30 am Men's Gathering, AND at 4pm open gathering for all ------ See our Full Calendar for details...
Tuesday, June 27, 2017 @ 7:00-8:45pm at Falkirk Cultural Center, San RafaelThree Week Online Retreat with John Prendergast
Theme: Heart Wisdom & The Great Intimacy -------- Dates: Saturday, July 8, Monday, July 10, Saturday, July 15, Monday, July 17 Saturday, July 22, Monday, July 24 9am-11 am PDT ------- While many Eastern contemplative traditions emphasize the importance of wisdom and a transcendent inner freedom, there is another equally important human impulse – to lovingly face and embrace our ordinary, messy and often challenging human life, just as it is. The paths of wisdom and love, transcendence and immanence, meet in the fully awakened heart and lead to a great intimacy with the whole of life. ----- In this online retreat, we will explore....... ** Recognizing our essential Wholeness, regardless of our psychological “wounds” and conditioning. Disidentifying from the strategic mind. ** Seeing through limiting core beliefs. ** Uncovering and trusting the felt-sense of heart wisdom & presence. ** Navigating the subtle layers of the heart: ego, soul, and universal (Heart). ** Sensing into the center of reactive feelings and somatic contractions from heart-felt spacious awareness in order to discover their transparent nature. ** Using relationships as an opportunity to withdraw projections and deepen in intimacy with oneself and the whole of life: The Great Intimacy. ------- ** JUNE 25TH, 10AM IS A FREE PRE-RETREAT EVENT, WHICH WILL PROVIDE A TASTE OF JOHN'S UPCOMING 6 SESSION ONLINE RETREAT. SEE OUR ONLINE EVENTS PAGE FOR DETAILS.**...
