SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Alive in the Machine: Living Outside the Matrix
DESCRIPTION:When awakening dismantles your ability to play by the old rules…\nOne of the most disorienting aspects of genuine awakening is when you can no longer participate in consensus reality the way you once did. The familiar ground of shared assumptions and social strategies that once provided a sense of belonging falls away and you are left moving independently of it or suffering to the extent that you keep participating. \nIn this powerful exploration\, Jeannie will guide participants through this challenging territory with compassion\, clarity\, and a healthy dose of irreverence. \nWhat we’ll explore together:\n\nFinding your footing when the game of separation no longer works for you\nNavigating the fear of feeling “crazy” when your reality differs from others’\nBuilding sovereignty as you exit the matrix of concept-based reality\nMeeting the primal fear that arises when familiar connection patterns dissolve\nNavigating the lonely feelings or “weirdo” feelings that rise as you stand true\n\nThis session is for you if:\n\nYou feel like you’re living in a different reality than those around you\nConventional social interaction feels empty or impossible to maintain\nYou can no longer pretend to be interested in things that used to engage you\nYou experience profound loneliness even with people you love\nYou’re being called to exit the game of separation but fear being utterly alone\nYou sense there’s something real on the other side of this dismantling\n\nJeannie Zandi is a nondual 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. \nHer work bridges the mystical and the practical\, inviting students to embrace every aspect of experience—joy\, challenge\, and the mundane—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. \nwww.jeanniezandi.com \nSuggested donation: $15 to $40\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter
