SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Love Beyond Gender ~ Liberating the Heart from Gender Conditioning
DESCRIPTION:From the time we’re very young\, we begin learning who we’re supposed to be. We absorb countless messages about what it means to be a woman or a man\, which emotions are acceptable\, how we’re expected to love\, speak\, lead\, care\, and belong. Much of this conditioning happens so early and so subtly that we mistake it for the truth. \nBeneath these learned roles is a heart that longs to love freely and live truthfully. \nIn this gathering\, we’ll explore the ways gender conditioning can shape our expression of love\, our relationship with vulnerability and strength\, our ability to receive and to give\, and the quiet compromises we make in order to be accepted. Rather than judging or rejecting the conditioning we’ve received\, we’ll approach it with compassion\, recognizing that these adaptations were often born from a deep desire for love and belonging. \nAs we bring this conditioning into awareness\, question it\, meet the underlying pain\, fear and challenge that lies beneath it\, the heart naturally starts to reclaim the qualities it has hidden\, and we discover a way of being that is more authentic\, more whole\, and more deeply aligned with our essential nature. \nJoin Jeannie for inquiry\, meditation\, and heartfelt exploration as we discover what it means to love beyond gender and allow the heart to express itself with greater freedom. \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
