Recording link will be emailed to participants after each meeting.
You're welcome to join even if you can't attend all the live sessions.
Join Pamela and your fellow sages to call forth the Peace that animates all of Nature and all Beings to hold and powerfully transmit its healing balance.
Within all forms, including our bodies, trees, earth and sky, is the medicine that knows the way, that is intimate with all. Transmission is limited only by protective tension and overlooked and ignored (undernourished) Stillness.
When Awareness honors the Heart, the Essence of everything, there is a quickening and alertness, as if the most ancient Peace is emerging from a long meditation. We bring its awareness to the imbalance and insanity of the human tribe, not in opposition but in an all powerful, compassionate invocation and prayer.
Inviting its healing transmission to hold, permeate and heal.
Pamela Wilson evokes through dialogue, inquiry and her very presence the qualities of unconditional love and radical acceptance. She is celebrated for her ability to open the heart and create a space in which long-cherished struggles and notions about one’s identity relax. Featured in the book Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom, Pamela is at her best in heart-felt dialogue, so please bring your questions!

Jeannie Zandi ~ Merry Moment
Join Jeannie to celebrate the season and bask in the richness of the present moment.
Jeannie’s gift for inviting people to join her in resting and rooted presence evokes a deep meeting with oneself and reality. Within that, Jeannie’s humor and iconoclasm serve to bring people into an understanding that is beyond the intellectual. Through silent and guided meditation, spontaneous talks and exchange with participants, Jeannie will host a space of clarity and warmth where the richness of relating can be explored safely and your innermost questions met fully.
Jeannie Zandi is the director of Living as Love, a nonprofit organization dedicated to seeding a culture of the Heart on the planet, inspiring, teaching and supporting people to live from their essence as Love. A year before the birth of her daughter, Jeannie was plunged into a dark night of the soul that culminated in a radical shift of consciousness. She is known for her fearless clarity, tender mercy toward humanness, and a juicy, poetic and often humorous style that draws from Advaita Vedanta, Sufism, Christian mysticism and the ongoing revelation of fully engaged living.
Suggested donation: $15 to $40

Marlies Myoku Cocheret ~ Exploring Meditation
Whether you are starting to meditate or already have a meditation practice, this bi-monthly meditation with Marlies will help you drop deeper into connection with yourself, setting the tone for the day in an embodied way.
Your body is a refined sense organ.
It is a portal into the beautiful Silent Presence that you are.
Let’s sit together … abide as You … for All
Meditation is the art of inner exploration. It’s an opportunity to slow down and receive all of life exactly as it is. Using your body as a portal into your Yourself, we will explore how to connect with and abide as your true essence underneath all the daily busy-ness.
You may have noticed that often the mind does not settle easily. In fact, in quietude, all the things you have been trying to avoid often come bubbling up to the surface. It’s not a problem. They simply want to be met with that gentle, fierce and spacious awareness which is what you truly are.
The more we learn to rest as our underlying silent nature, no matter what arises within us, the easier it becomes to keep our seat when the winds of life pull us back and forth.
Come set the tone for the day and be close with yourself in an embodied way.
Marlies Myoku Cocheret was invited to teach the Dharma by Adyashanti in 2000. She teaches meditation, retreats, and works as a Hakomi therapist and psychologist. She brings a potent invitation into the deep silence that you are, and guides you into embodied connection with your humanity and divine nature. With her grounded presence and therapeutic experience, people feel safe to explore meditation and awakening, knowing that whatever comes up is welcome and can be held.

Dorothy Hunt ~ Being, Doing, Having ~ Online Daylong Retreat
Online Daylong Retreat
January 14, 2024
9:00am - 11:00am & 12:00pm - 2:00pm (Pacific Time)

Recording will be emailed to participants within a week.

When we are operating from the deep dimension of Being, life is experienced as fresh, alive, spontaneous, open, wise, loving, and present to the immediacy of Now. Being is also continually becoming, showing itself as doing, as well as all that appears to come and go in nature and in our relative lives.
However, if we base our identity on what we do, and do not know who or what we truly are, we are in a constant state of trying, striving, and judging a self that needs to become some ideal or perfect version of itself. This leads to a vast
consumer mentality of “having" and acquiring more and more—whether we are attached to having money, power, approval, influence, a partner, or spiritual experiences. Once basic needs are met, does freedom or worth, really depend on having? Is something at peace regardless of circumstance?
In this daylong exploration, we will examine how we value ourselves and so-called others. What does it feel like to allow our doing to come from Being rather than continually equating doing with a self-image or an idea of self-worth? What is the experience of living from Being rather than having? And who is the
“I AM” that seems to be wrapped in so many beliefs?
Dorothy Hunt currently serves as Spiritual Director of Moon Mountain Sangha, teaching at the request and in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti. The flavor of her teaching blends Advaita and Zen with a deep welcoming of the human expressions of the Mystery. Dorothy is the founder of the San Francisco Center for Meditation and Psychotherapy, and practiced psychotherapy from 1967 until her retirement in 2020. She is the author of Only This!, Leaves from Moon Mountain, and Ending the Search: From Spiritual Ambition to the Heart of Awareness. In addition, she is a contributing author to two books on Nondual Wisdom and Psychotherapy, and the editor of Love: A Fruit Always in Season.
Presently, Dorothy offers satsang and retreats via Zoom, and dokusan by phone. For more information, please visit www.dorothyhunt.org
