Susanne Marie ~ Crisis and Integration ~ In-Person Local Event

This is Susanne’s first public meeting since her car accident which took place August 12th, 2023, resulting in 9 broken bones & pelvic surgery. Susanne is featured in conversation on 11/15/16 with Adyashanti on Buddha at the Gaspump (https://batgap.com/adyashanti-susanne-marie-falling-away-self/), as well as on ConsciousTV (http://conscious.tv/single.php?vid=2860077502001 and https://conscious.tv/single.php?vid=5847718840001). Susanne offers teachings in support of freedom and the celebration of our common essence of love and unity with all life. She is the parent of two young adults, and offers spiritual mentoring, online and in-person group facilitation, as well as retreats.

Join Susanne and friends as we explore how the impact of crisis can be met within the realm of awakening. An unexpected event can reveal undiscovered territory within one’s conditioning, that jump at the opportunity to come to the light and be transformed. Perhaps the first blessing of a major life altering event is being stopped so fully that there is no option other than being fully present to the moment. Encountering the beautiful human spirit of generosity and kindness that can help redeem one and in turn open one’s heart.

Similarly, pain and crisis can invite vast reservoirs of capacity to open in surrender to the moment, helping us to see how much we have benefited from realizations and personal work. Grace comes out of deep spiritual work. It is like having a spiritual piggy bank that comes in handy when faced with challenging times.

Deep change and transformation can take place when we allow for the breaking free of lifelong patterns. Living awakening in each moment is the opportunity given during difficult times. Using inquiry such as asking ourselves: “Can I meet this moment as intimately as possible without resistance?” is an avenue into becoming present.
