Miranda Macpherson ~ Waking Up and Showing Up ~ Daylong Retreat, Bay Area & Livestream

In these immense times, we need the refuge that spiritual practice provides to nurture our access to the luminous love and clarity of our shared Being. Equally, we need the refuge of community to help us acknowledge all that we may be feeling – fear, anger, despair, hopelseness, and open to the presence that can transform them into responsiveness from our depth.

What does it take to abide in natural great peace, and come from love amidst such anxiety provoking times? What can help us find the restorative Grace we need to thrive, even in the face of heart-breaking news? Most importantly, what can help us to become more potent, graceful human beings, embodying spiritual values in practical actions that serve our loved ones and wider society now?

Together, in this experiential daylong at a beautiful home in West Marin, spiritual teacher and author Miranda Macpherson hold space for all that we are navigating both personally and collectively, and offer insights and practices to help us harness the intensity of our times into the path. Themes include –

• Cultivate the spiritual musculature that supports presence, open-heartedess and equanimity amidst uncertainty.
• Transform fear into trust, anger into strength, reactivity into responsiveness.
• Harness the intensity of our times to grow deeper, stronger, clearer, wiser.
• Listen inwardly for fresh ways to show up from your spiritual depth in peaceful actions that serve.
