SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ It Takes a Village: Community & the Embodiment of Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Awakening may reveal the truth of our essential oneness\, but it is in relationship that this realization is tested\, deepened\, and brought to life. Other people have a wonderful way of showing us exactly where love has taken root and where we are still defending\, hiding\, accommodating\, controlling\, or insisting that life go our way. \nIn this two-hour gathering\, we’ll explore the essential role of community in the embodiment of awakening. What becomes possible when we practice among others who are also committed to truth? How do belonging\, friction\, support\, difference\, and vulnerability help us grow beyond a private spirituality into something lived and relational? \nAnd as the sense of a separate self loosens\, another invitation emerges: to take our place as stewards of the whole. Awakening asks us not only to receive from the field\, but to tend it\, each in our own particular way\, bringing our gifts\, our care\, our courage\, and our unique expression into service of the life we share. \nCommunity asks us to discover how to be fully ourselves while remaining part of the whole\, to love without requiring sameness\, and to let our awakening become more than an inner realization.  \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
