SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Resting in the Mess
DESCRIPTION:What if the key to ease isn’t in eliminating life’s chaos\, but in learning to rest in the middle of it? \nLazy golden afternoons\, the scent of wildflowers in the breeze\, the slow rhythm of summer days… yet somehow\, life keeps lifing\, the world keeps whirling. Plans unravel\, emotions rise\, the collective crashes about\, the unexpected knocks at the door. What if true ease isn’t found in waiting for the mess to disappear\, but in learning how to rest within it? \nIn this special summertime class\, Jeannie invites us into the art of resting in the mess—embracing life as it is\, rather than exhausting ourselves trying to smooth it out. Through guided exploration\, embodied presence\, and practical tools\, we’ll discover what it means to soften into the swirl rather than resist it. \n\nTogether\, we’ll explore: \n\n\nThe value of softening into things as they are \n\n\nSoothing the body to  find ease amidst uncertainty \n\n\nHow to rest into the unresolved \n\n\nWays to shift from mental overdrive into embodied presence \n\n\nThe paradox of true rest—how hands off the steering wheel actually results in truer movement \n\n\nWhen we stop chasing an ideal version of ease and instead allow life’s unpredictable flow\, we tap into something deeper than control—a restfulness that holds both the sweetness and the storm. \nCome join us as we lean back into the arms of life itself and discover what it means to truly rest. \nAbout Jeannie Zandi\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 \nSliding Scale: $15 to $40\nHowever\, no one turned away for lack of funds.\nIf you can’t pay within the sliding scale\, contact us to let us know what you can contribute.\nAddress inquiries to web@opencirclecenter.org \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
