Jeannie Zandi ~ Love’s Homing Device: The Role of Longing in Spirituality
Within all our longings lies the greatest longing of all: to know ourselves as whole and divine.
Beneath the hunger for relationship, recognition, comfort, certainty, or belonging, lies the gravitational pull of the heart toward home. It can feel like a homesickness for something we cannot name or define.
Many spiritual traditions have understood longing not as a problem, but as part of the path itself. The ache of the heart can become a kind of homing device, orienting us toward what is most essential and alive. Yet in everyday life, we can lose touch with this living pull, or attempt to satisfy it through things that can never fully meet it....... LEARN MORE HERE

Within all our longings lies the greatest longing of all: to know ourselves as whole and divine.
Yet in everyday life, we can lose touch with this living pull, or attempt to satisfy it through things that can never fully meet it.
In this gathering, we will look at the ways longing opens us, motivates us, and calls us beyond the pleasures of the earthly realm toward something more sublime. We will explore the relationship between longing and devotion, yearning and surrender, heartbreak and opening, and the mysterious way love itself can become a guide.
Known for her fierce tenderness, irreverent wisdom, and unwavering presence, Jeannie Zandi creates powerful spaces for transformation, where truth is met in the raw, and awakening moves beyond concept into lived reality.

Peter Russell ~ Enjoying Meditation: Having It Be a Delight Rather than a Chore (In-Person)
For many beginners, meditation can feel like an uphill battle — a never-ending struggle to quiet the thinking mind and focus the attention. It’s easy to walk away discouraged, convinced that meditation demands more effort and discipline than you can muster.
In Peter’s approach, we don’t need to control the mind or try to remain present. Instead he offers practices and insights that allow the mind to settle down naturally. Meditation then becomes not only easier and more effective, but also more enjoyable........ LEARN MORE HERE

Peter Russell will share insights and practices from his new book, How to Meditate Without Even Trying — a book that challenges conventional assumptions about meditation and offers a refreshingly simple approach: the less you try, the easier meditation becomes.
For many beginners, meditation can feel like an uphill battle — a never-ending struggle to quiet the thinking mind and focus the attention. In Peter’s approach, we don’t need to control the mind or try to remain present. Instead he offers practices and insights that allow the mind to settle down naturally. Meditation then becomes not only easier and more effective, but also more enjoyable.
Peter Russell coined the term "global brain" with his 1980's bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have on humanity. He is the author of twelve other books, and his mission is to distill the essence of the world’s wisdom traditions, and disseminate it in ways that are appropriate for the current times.

Lisa Schumacher ~ Life is the Teacher
Self-discovery is the direct realization that who you are is already free and perfect; it cannot be held in the mind or in experience because you are not an object. You are the living truth in form. Your life is showing you directly.
Again and again, the mind gives rise to a new identity — a better me, a worse me, a self striving for survival, approval, or control. through these movements of everyday life, we are invited to see what comes and goes, and what has never moved at all...... LEARN MORE HERE
