Jeannie Zandi is a spiritual teacher who supports people to integrate awakening into every aspect of human experience and to bring their heart’s offering to life. Known for her potent blend of spiritual mastery and grounded humanness, she creates transformational spaces with fierce tenderness, irreverent wisdom, and unwavering presence, inspiring students to embody their deepest truth in everyday life.
Her gift for inviting people into resting, rooted presence evokes a deep meeting with oneself and reality. Her disarming humor and directness invite us beyond mere intellectual understanding into direct experience. Through silent and guided meditation, spontaneous talks, and authentic dialogue, Jeannie hosts a space of clarity and warmth where the richness of experience can be explored safely and innermost questions met fully.
At the heart of her teaching is the recognition that life itself is the ground through which we are purified as vessels for divine expression. She guides students to embrace every moment—from mundane to challenging—as fuel for awakening, transforming daily life into a practice of embodied truth. Her work bridges the mystical with the practical, moving beyond abstract concepts into fully embodied awakening. Jeannie calls students to mature into capable, authentic expressions of love and truth, serving the whole with wisdom and courage. This devotional path invites alignment with the divine, where life’s challenges become opportunities to manifest love in action.

What if 2025 becomes the year you finally come home to the love that you are? Join spiritual teacher Jeannie Zandi for an intimate afternoon exploring what becomes possible when we stop running from our humanity and fully embody the marriage of human and divine. For millennia, we’ve lived split from our essence, alienated from the love that is the very bedrock of reality. But that ancient wound can heal–not someday, but now, in this very lifetime, in this very year. Through meditation, teachings and dialogue, we’ll discover how to root ourselves in the heart’s unwavering presence while meeting life’s intensifying challenges with fierce wisdom and tender grace. The world needs your whole heart–human and divine, united at last.

What if this was the year humanity remembered what we really are? While the evenings build upon each other, each session is complete in itself – attend any combination that works for you. Through meditation, teaching, and group exploration, Jeannie guides us through the ancient journey of reuniting human and divine–not as an abstract concept, but as a lived reality. We’ll discover how to heal the primordial split between spirit and matter, heaven and earth, right here in our own hearts. These times of great unraveling are actually a profound invitation to remember and embody the love we’ve always been. Through embracing our full humanity, we become living bridges between worlds, where the divine and human dance as one.

In this evening of meditation, teaching and exchange, Jeannie invites us to discover what becomes possible when we fully embrace both our humanity and our divinity. What if 2025 was the year you stopped running from your humanness and discovered it as the very gateway to your essence? As the familiar structures of our world shake and shift, we’re called to embody a love that can hold it all–our messiness and our majesty, our limitations and our limitlessness. We’ll explore practical ways to heal the ancient split between humanness and divinity, discovering how our very humanity, fully embraced, reveals itself as love’s perfect instrument. This is the time we’ve been preparing for–to live as the marriage of heaven and earth, right here, right now.
The world doesn’t need more spiritual bypassing or human perfection – it needs your whole heart, where human and divine unite in love’s endless dance. Let 2025 be the year you come all the way home to who you really are.

True freedom isn’t found in transcending our humanity – it blossoms in the sacred marriage of heaven and earth right here in our bones. When consciousness fully embraces matter, when spirit dances all the way down into flesh, something extraordinary happens: our lives become an expression of who we are: divine light dancing through human experience.
Join spiritual teacher Jeannie Zandi for a weekend of inspiration, exploration, and revelation as we dive into the heart of what it means to be fully, radically human. Through meditation, dialogue, experiential exercises, and Jeannie’s signature blend of profound wisdom and irreverent humor, we’ll discover how to end the war with experience and let the entirety of our being become a portal for love’s expression.
In this intimate retreat, we will:
-
Experience how freedom blooms when we stop trying to transcend our humanity
-
Learn to trust the body’s natural wisdom as consciousness embraces matter
-
Feel what happens when we let spirit pour all the way down into flesh
-
Share in the aliveness, joy and playfulness that flows when we gather in authentic presence
This retreat is for you if you’re ready to:
-
Move beyond spiritual bypassing into full-bodied awakening
-
Trade the war with our experience for radical embrace
-
Let every aspect of your human journey become shot through with light
-
Live from the place where heaven and earth unite
-
Join with others in discovering what living love really means
