SUMMARY:Pamela Wilson ~ The Magic in the Heart Liberates Our Inherent Worth ~ 4 Part Online Retreat
DESCRIPTION:June 29\, July 2\, 6 & 9\, 2026\n10:00 am – 12:00 pm\, Pacific Daylight 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. \nWe have been trained to suppress our wisdom\, strength and love. Trained into smallness\, told we are less than\, and cannot make a difference. And yet\, we long to give our gifts\, to return to the fullness of presence and the constancy of peace\, to live that! There is only one idea in the way\, the idea that self-respect is not okay\, and that self-pride is ugly. When naturalness or presence honors itself\, there is a healthy pride\, unlike when the deficient sense of self puffs itself up from inferiority to superiority. Most of us notice\, as we uncover the dignity of our being\, as we rise and root into being from doing\, that the depressant habit of making ourselves small returns us to some form of human imbalance. \nWhen the inclusive magic of the heart starts to honor itself\, its being and even its form and unique journey\, there can be a contraction as we encounter the “Thou shall not honor thyself” taboo. This is the suppression that artificial authority has imposed on the tribe. Luckily\, as elemental naturalness\, we are also rebellious and frustrated by old fashioned ideas and harmful impositions! A true freedom includes everything and allows us to flow artfully. \nBeing is neither superior nor inferior\, but equal\, and enjoys a natural confidence in life and its own uniqueness and worth. How relaxing to return to this original embodied peace and strength! \nMay uncontained presence root\, transmit and live its natural confidence and certainty! \nAbout Pamela Wilson:\nPamela has been a messenger for Truth and Heart wisdom worldwide for over 30 years. Like many of us\, she was originally motivated by a passionate curiosity fueled by despair and sorrow about humanity and her own struggles. She started meditating in 1976 after her mother died\, and was lucky enough to find true teachers. Chance meetings with Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche in a garden\, shaktipat from Muktananda\, private spontaneous encounters with Rabbi Zalman Schachter\, and alone time with Lester Levenson and Robert Adams nourished her en route. Merging in Neelam and Prem’s satsang back into the original river of love\, dissolved the sense of self and much history. What a relief to return to aware naturalness! There were enough clues that kept her marinating in satsang\, especially that of Yudishtara! His whisper\, “Don’t let anyone tell you\, you are anything but love!” No one ever tells you that! An ongoing passion for liberation and light-heartedness kept inquiry into the nature of mind\, the emotions and the body ongoing. Oh\, and what treasures were found in the essence of all that! Confirming Lao Tzu’s invitation to be a kind-hearted grandparent within\, and Papaji’s “Look within\, approach everything with devotion and gratitude\, stay as heart!” And Ramana Maharshi’s “Nothing is what it appears to be!” \nHow could any form resist all the warm compassion meeting it?\nAnd so it unwinds from defense back into relaxation\, renewed by respect and surprised to be met with gratitude. The original invitation is Know Thyself! As modern sages we return for every form and function so it All can know itself!\nAs compassion we all notice harmful ignorance and suffering\, enough is enough!\nA quiet revolution from the inside out. Each sage is required to do the inner work. \n“Pamela shares something she calls “Inner satsang.” It is quite simple and direct\, and although it requires a clear intention\, it is not hard to learn. In my recent reading of Carl Jung’s essays and lectures\, I came upon Jung’s description of his own inner exploration method which he called “active imagination.” It became clear that Jung’s practice and Pamela’s are identical. This method of going within is most likely something ancient which has been passed down through the ages by saints and sages of all traditions. I feel extremely fortunate that in my friendship with Pamela she has passed on to me this beautiful way of fulfilling my long held and deepest heart’s desire.”\n~ Lawrence Homolka \n“Thank you for bringing the Heart back to Advaita!”\n~ Rabbi Ravi Shapiro \nMore about Pamela: www.pamelasatsang.com \nSliding Scale: $100 to $200\nSome Partial Scholarships Available\nPlease Register Early if you can. \nREGISTER
