Engaged Nonduality ~ With Miranda Macpherson and Lisa Ferguson
As these chaotic and challenging times continue, we need the refuge that spiritual practice provides to nurture our access to clarity, peace and joy. Equally, we need the refuge of community, to help us acknowledge all that we may be feeling – fear, anger, despair, hopelessness – and open to the Grace that can transform them into responsiveness from our depth. We will explore what it takes to abide in natural great peace, real love and trust so we can stay resilient in such anxiety provoking times. Miranda Macpherson is a contemporary spiritual teacher, author and kirtan singer who has been guiding others into direct experience of the sacred for over thirty years. Unapologetically feminine, joyful and down to earth, Miranda invites others to become more graceful human beings, embodying creative, peaceful and wise action that serves the human family in these enormous times. Lisa Ferguson, Ph.D. is the founder of the Engaged Nonduality series and sangha, which connects the recognition of our non-separateness with our engaged response to suffering, injustice and separation. Weaving the threads of awakening, healing and service, she offers meditative inquiry groups, 1:1 sessions, workshops and trainings that integrate spiritual inquiry, psychological healing, and leadership development as expression of our unique service offering.

In a culture that glorifies immature expressions of yang (masculine) energy, what does healthy, integrated yang really look like? Learn to embody protection, clarity and purpose without force or aggression, integrating strength with tenderness—regardless of gender identity. Jeannie will create a safe container to explore manifestations of yang and offer a vision of integrated, healthy masculine presence that serves life rather than dominating it. Jeannie Zandi is a non-dual spiritual teacher 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. Her work bridges the mystical and the practical, inviting students to embrace every aspect of experience as fuel for awakening. Rather than transcending life, she calls us to root in it, maturing into authentic expressions of love, serving the whole with wisdom and heart.
