SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Human Being\, Human Doing
DESCRIPTION:We live in a world that celebrates doing. We measure our days by what we accomplished\, our value by what we produced\, and our progress by how much we’ve managed to get done. Even our spiritual life can become another project\, another attempt to improve ourselves\, fix ourselves\, or to get somewhere in particular. \nBut what if we’ve gotten the order backwards? \nWhat if doing was never meant to define who we are\, but to arise naturally from who we are? \nIn this gathering\, we’ll explore the relationship between being and doing\, and how much of our effort\, striving\, busyness\, and exhaustion comes from forgetting the ground of our own Being. We’ll look at the subtle ways we become identified with our roles\, responsibilities\, accomplishments\, and endless activity\, and what becomes possible when we rest more deeply in the simple fact of our existence. \nAs we rediscover the quiet ground of Being\, our actions become less driven by fear\, pressure\, and the need to prove ourselves. They become simpler\, more alive\, more joyful\, and more true. Together we’ll explore what it means to let doing become an expression of Being rather than a substitute for it. \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\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nIf you can’t pay within the sliding scale\, just 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
