Louise Kay ~ Embodied Awareness
If you bring your attention fully present into the now and inquire with a genuine, open curiosity into the truth of this moment, what is discovered is that underlying all experiences lies an invisible, potent presence. This presence is often referred to as stillness, being, consciousness or awareness and is the eternal, formless essence of who you are. All else appears in and is perceived by this awareness
The recognition of this truth through direct experiential knowing is a divine blessing and is followed by a sacred process of integration, which takes place on the level of body and mind. .....

Ellen Emmet ~ Venturing Into the Unlit Corners of the Now
There are times in each of our lives when a bitter wind blows our spiritual torch out. It may be called depression, grief, trauma, illness, the end of a relationship, a sense that we are no longer in alignment with our deepest self.
Here we are, standing at the threshold of our being, knowing that nothing we have used to light the way forward will work.
During this gathering we will venture together, away from the certitudes held by the mind and into the dark wilderness of the body. We will listen inwardly to our felt experience. Perhaps we will face and taste the unconscious layers of defense that portent to protect us yet keep us in a cell of false security..... LEARN MORE HERE

There are times in each of our lives when a bitter wind blows our spiritual torch out. It may be called depression, grief, trauma, illness, the end of a relationship, a sense that we are no longer in alignment with our deepest self.
Here we are, standing at the threshold of our being, knowing that nothing we have used to light the way forward will work.
During this gathering we will venture together, away from the certitudes held by the mind and into the dark wilderness of the body. We will listen inwardly to our felt experience. Perhaps we will touch the vulnerability and strength of Life as she cycles and connects us to the great garland of creation.
Ellen’s deepest intuition was confirmed when she met her teacher in the non-dual tradition, Francis Lucille. Hearing his words, she recognized the eternal, limitless and universal nature of our shared reality.
Ellen will draw on her experience of Kashmir nondual yoga, the Jungian ideas especially as expressed by Marion Woodman, Authentic Movement, and whatever else may arise from the field of our gathering.

Stephan Bodian ~ Just This! An Invitation to Rest in the Joy and Fulfillment of Nondual Presence
All those spiritual words mean just one thing: Coming home to the ease and simplicity of right now, beyond the limiting projections of the mind! Most of us spend most of our time suffering in the dream of past and future, of how it should have been then and should be next week. But in the Now there are no problems to solve, just Being endlessly unfolding in its innately perfect, unarguable, and mysterious way.
Let’s come together to rest in the joy and fulfillment of Being as it is. Join us for guided and silent meditation, teachings and pointers, and plenty of time for dialogue and discussion.....

If we offer everything to Love then the body does not have to carry anything, especially the past. What is uncomfortable is the accumulated weight of the past. As Stillness said recently within — "The birds do not keep their old feathers, nor do snakes carry their shed skin in their mouth!"
We have full permission from Stillness to be free of our own and humanity's shared history and cultural beliefs. It is okay to be free of the past! It has passed!...... LEARN MORE HERE

What occurs between the feeling of “I can’t forgive,” and realizing “there is no one TO forgive?” In this exploration, we will exclude any “shoulds,” and focus on what is real, what is true, and what is here beneath our judgments, anger, hurts, and fears. Are we curious and courageous enough to look deeply? What happens when we find ourselves in a bigger energy field than the wounds and identities we seem to carry? What happens when our own pain is met with loving compassion? Perhaps compassion may arise for those whose own suffering created the conditions for being cruel, unkind, or unloving....

Stephan Bodian ~ Wake Up Now: A Weekend Journey Through the Heart of Awakening
Awakenings come in many shapes and sizes and are as diverse as the people who experience them.

Along the way, you may have a range of different experiences and insights that offer motivation and inspiration and deepen and expand your understanding........
