Miranda Macpherson ~ Turning Everything Into The Path Of Awakening (In-Person)
If ever there was a time to engage our spiritual practice, so we can stay present, open-hearted, peaceful, loving and wise, it’s now. This daylong with Miranda Macpherson is a day for deep spiritual nourishment and community support to connect more substantially to the luminous presence within, illuminate obstacles one your path, and explore what timeless Truths have to offer practically for living meaningfully and navigating life from our spiritual depth. Both the morning and afternoon sessions will be inspirational and experiential, with meditation, mantra, a rich inquiry practice, plus time for satsang and sharing. Miranda Macpherson is a contemporary spiritual teacher who has been guiding others into direct experience of the sacred for over thirty years internationally. Unapologetically feminine, joyful and down to earth, Miranda invites others to become more graceful human beings, showing up for creative, peaceful and wise action that serves our loved ones and the human family in these enormous times.
Saturday, May 9, 2026 @ 9:30am-5:00pm (Pacific Time) at First Presbyterian Church of San RafaelBeth Miller ~ When The Heart Blooms The World Brightens
We live on a planet of duality – where everything expands and contracts, nothing stays the same. Right now, we are living through a massive, destructive falling apart. We are in the midst of a large contracting collapse. This collapse is not new; collectively we have collapsed before. But we are having to face THIS darkness and THIS collapse as it unfolds; how can we face this moment with fresh eyes and expanded consciousness? Perhaps we can use this moment to individually and collectively grow, mature, love more and maybe even wake up to our deepest reality – our natural beingness that is not divided, not reactive, not closed off from our own shadows and the shadow of the world. Beth studied and followed Adyashanti, David Hawkins, Mooji and Jan Frazier, with whom she had a profound opening into oneness and the immensity of love.
Sunday, May 10, 2026 @ 10:00am-12:00pm (Pacific Time) at Online Video Meeting (phone access also available)Stephan Bodian ~ A Book Launch and Celebration for ‘Infinite Awakening: A Guide to Nondual Wisdom and the Pathless Path’
A Book Launch and Celebration for ‘Infinite Awakening: A Guide to Nondual Wisdom and the Pathless Path’ A New Book by Stephan Bodian. With a Foreword by Adyashanti. The great awakening for which we may spend a lifetime searching is actually quite simple: Everything is just the way it is, an innately perfect, sacred, and indivisible whole, whose essence is empty, conscious, and filled with love. The recognition that this is what I am, not the dream character I take myself to be, frees us from a lifetime of suffering and identification and awakens us to our inherent happiness and peace of mind. Yet the journey to this realization and its embodiment may be infinitely challenging as the result of our psychological complexity and the difficulties we face as individuals. This is one of the core messages of my new book, Infinite Awakening........ LEARN MORE HERE

Join author and spiritual teacher Stephen D’Amico for Satsang—a gathering dedicated to the shared recognition of our true nature.

For nearly three decades, he has been teaching and guiding others on the path. Based in Toronto, he runs an urban ashram where he hosts Satsang and offers spiritual direction. He is the author of several books, including his latest, The Lost Book of Mystical Insights: Pointers & Reminders.
Sunday, May 17, 2026 @ 11:00am-1:00pm (Pacific Time) at Online Video Meeting (phone access also available)Beth Miller ~ VULNERABILITY – A SUPERPOWER (In-Person)
Together, let’s dive into what we know in our essence, that what we are in the truest sense is an inside job – an inward surrendering of anything and everything that is in the way of knowing, living, being and expressing our true nature of loving being-ness. A courageous surrendering . . .a trusting vulnerability. Often, we humans, shy away from vulnerability. We have been taught it is weak, unattractive, and needy, but, as counter-intuitive as it appears, being vulnerable . . . naked in the sun . . . is holding hands with the Divine. Beth Miller is a spiritual teacher, psychotherapist, and author who weaves psychological depth with direct spiritual inquiry into presence, love and wholeness. Beth studied and followed Adyashanti, David Hawkins, Mooji and Jan Frazier, with whom she had a profound opening into oneness and the immensity of love.
