Ishita Sharma ~ The Spiritual Ego and Walking in Joy
Spiritual bypassing is inevitable, and often invisible. The spiritual ego is often one of the subtlest mechanisms of obscuration on the path to awakening. As our sense of self expands, our ideas of that expansion can themselves become veils to it. Let's explore the metaphysics of that innocence and ignorance and find a sweeter, softer way to relate within and without that liberates, heals and empowers. Ishita Sharma serves as a spiritual teacher, healing mirror, embodiment partner, and Core Energetics Practitioner of body-based psychotherapy. Teaching Universal principles of healing and mysticism, she is devoted to supporting healing and awakening in all those committed to living a bright and connected life, sharing their gifts for the good of the Whole.

Please join Pamela and your fellow sages for a four-part series exploring our elemental nature as love, immovable, tender and eternal, wise and strong. Let us explore the background presence within, that which is unshakable and life giving. We actually live from there already, though our attention is on our heart center and outwards. This compassionate love that we are returns for everything that calls to it for relief and freedom. Pamela Wilson has been a messenger for Truth and Heart wisdom worldwide for over 30 years, honoring the Sage within everyone and the absolute oneness of All That Is. Pamela evokes through dialogue, inquiry and her very presence the qualities of unconditional love and radical acceptance. She is celebrated for her ability to open the heart and create a space in which long-cherished struggles and notions about one’s identity relax.

Awakening may reveal the truth of our essential oneness, but it is in relationship that this realization is tested, deepened, and brought to life. Other people have a wonderful way of showing us exactly where love has taken root and where we are still defending, hiding, accommodating, controlling, or insisting that life go our way. In this two-hour gathering, we’ll explore the essential role of community in the embodiment of awakening. Jeannie Zandi is a non-dual spiritual teacher and guide for embodied awakening, inviting students to fully inhabit their human lives with presence, clarity, and love. Known for her fierce tenderness, irreverent wisdom, and unwavering presence, she creates powerful spaces for transformation, where truth is met in the raw, and awakening moves beyond concept into lived reality.

Tasting the Absolute, experiencing spirit, reading or hearing teachings from spiritual masters, many seekers of truth develop ideas and illusions that Awakening means judging, denying, or by-passing the challenges, messiness, feelings, thoughts, and beauty of our human expressions. They chase an identity called “the Absolute” or being a “someone” always “resting as Awareness.” There IS a Source, but this awake Mystery claims no identity. The real freedom of Awakening is deeply experiencing that all of life is an expression of an undivided Mystery—one the intellect will never “know” yet opens the Heart to intimately love its own expressions. Dorothy Hunt currently serves as Spiritual Director of Moon Mountain Sangha, teaching at the request and in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti. The flavor of her teaching blends Advaita and Zen with a deep welcoming of the human expressions of the Mystery.
