John Astin ~ Everything is the Doorway

The largely consensus human view is that our thoughts about reality are essentially the same as reality, what psychologists term “cognitive fusion.” But is that really true? Do our experiences actually conform to the ideas and beliefs we hold about them?
Through a series of meditative inquiries and dialogue, John Astin invites us into a deep dive into this question, exploring the nature of what’s appearing experientially. This discovery reveals the most profound freedom, the realization that every moment—even the ones we conventionally think of as problems—is a doorway into the inconceivable miracle of life itself.
John Astin is a spiritual teacher and psychologist, the author of five books exploring the nature of reality, and also a singer, songwriter and recording artist with seven CDs of original spiritual-contemplative music. John holds a PhD in health psychology, is an internationally acclaimed scholar in the field of mind-body medicine, and a professor of counseling psychology at Santa Clara University.

Georgia Simone ~ Weaving Coherence: A Journey into Relational Presence ~ 4 Part Online Series
February 25, March 4, 11, 18, 2026
Weaving Coherence is a 4-week experiential series designed to bring the depth of embodied presence into the living, breathing field of relationship.
~ What happens when we’re truly present to ourselves and each other?
~ What happens when we open to what’s here within us and between us?
~ What happens when we express what’s true and alive for us in the moment?
The result is a living, relational field where healing and awakening meet — a space to explore the nature of connection with ourselves, with each other, and with the subtle intelligence that emerges when we slow down together........ LEARN MORE HERE
