SUMMARY:Lisa Schumacher ~ The Choice to Love: An Inquiry into Our Non-Dual Nature ~ 3 Part Online Series
DESCRIPTION:Aug 18\, 19 & 20\, 2026\n10:00 am – 12:00 pm\, Pacific Time (PT)\nTime Zone Converter\nEvent will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting.\nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions. \nWhat does it mean to surrender to love? Is it possible to do so and live in the world? These are some of the questions that arise in the desire to awaken. Love is the medicine and the essential teacher that reveals the living truth\, freeing us from the burden of unnecessary suffering. To be devoted to Love is to give yourself to yourself and be truly happy\, a beacon of light in the world.  \nDay 1: Arrival – We will take time to create a safe and sacred space – anchoring ourselves in presence and intention together as we deepen.\nDay 2: Inquiry – Together we will inquire into what it is that we believe is in the way of loving or being loved. We will discover the truth about who we are and what our essential desire is for our life.\nDay 3: Surrender – We will open to the living truth of what does not come and go – and the possibility to realize that it is your essential nature.  \nWatch Lisa share on True Meaning of Self Discovery: \n\n  \nAbout Lisa Schumacher \nFor 30 years\, Lisa has been a devoted student of her beloved teacher Gangaji—who\, in 2005\, invited her to begin sharing Satsang.

With many years of guiding others\, Lisa offers a rare and grounded presence\, inviting everyone she meets directly into their own loving heart. Being with her in Satsang feels like coming home\, you are welcome just as you are into the quiet recognition of what is already whole and free. \nLisa’s website: satsangwithlisa.org\n  \nSliding Scale: $75 to $150\nSome Partial Scholarships Available\nPlease Register Early if you can. \nREGISTER
