SUMMARY:"Just This" ~ 3+1-day Online Retreat with Isaac Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:“Just This” \n3 Meetings in Truth with Isaac Shapiro:\nFri 14th\, Sat 15th\, Sun 16th December 2018\n12:30 pm – 2:30 pm Pacific Time \n1 Sharing Group with Open Circle Facilitator:\nThursday 20th December\, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific Time \n“This is an invitation to recognize the Truth of yourself. Who you are\, and have always been. As you are already This\, there is no need for any effort or “getting there”\, just the simple recognition of That in which everything appears. As we bring awareness to unconscious habits\, there is a shift that occurs. In the course of investigation\, we spontaneously recognize the true nature of ourselves. To live like this is an expression of unconditional love in which there is a savoring of this moment`s experience as the beloved.”\n~ Isaac Shapiro \nJoin Isaac Shapiro for a 3-day immersion into simplicity of being with what is. Discover deeper intimacy and enjoyment as the happening of this very moment. \nFrom the comfort of your home\, you will have the opportunity to explore yourself with like-minded community from around the world. Through direct yet playful inquiry into what is\, we will be unraveling conditioning of the mind and the nervous system. The format of the meetings is interactive and spontaneous\, deeply in tune with what wants to emerge in the group in any given moment. \nThe extra 4th meeting will be a sharing group\, held by Open Circle facilitator. By offering a safe\, welcoming space to listen and to be heard\, it will assist a smooth integration of newly open levels of Reality with your everyday life.  \nThe online retreat is an exciting container allowing for deep work with the support of a teacher and community – without the usual cost and logistics that an on location retreat entails. It provides an opportunity for deep exploration while still living your daily life. \nMore about Isaac Shapiro: www.isaacshapiro.org \nThis Three-Day Online Retreat will consist of: \n\nThree 2-hour Meetings in Truth with Isaac Shapiro\nOne 2-hour Sharing Group with Open Circle Facilitator\nVideo and Audio Recordings of Meetings with Isaac\n\nRegistration: $70 – $100\nFor questions contact sara@opencirclecenter.org \nTo proceed to Registration\, please affirm that you have read and agree to these terms:\n click here to READ TERMS. \nI Accept Terms

SUMMARY:Ajaya Sommers ~ Awaken to the Intimate Embrace of the Heart
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this gathering is limited to approximately 15  people\, so pre-registration is strongly recommended. Please see below for more information. \nWithin a field of unconditionally loving presence\, Ajaya facilitates a unique discovery process called Core Embodiment®\, an integrated system of embodiment practices\, principles and perceptual orientations to awaken and align with the power of your human potential. She is a Biodynamic Craniosacral Integration Teacher\, Authorized Continuum Teacher\, gifted healer\, writer and creative catalyst in the field of embodied awakening and trauma resolution for the last 26 years. All of her programs are grounded in science\, expanded through devotional practice\, and made real through direct experience. \nDue to early developmental trauma\, ancestral trauma and our cultural context at large\, there is a prevailing unconscious nervous system habit of using spirituality\, and particularly the non-dual orientations\, to hide\, bypass or otherwise disassociate from the intelligence of your core human needs and desires. It is as if your needs and desires are problems to be ashamed of; to fix or get rid of\, on your way to spiritual realization. \nThis is not a sustainable\, humane or truly integrative path. We long for the tangible felt sense of our wholeness. We long to passionately embody all that is present within our very human\, holy and messy majesty of being alive. It is time that we compassionately discover how to allow everything to be lived within the intimate embrace of the Heart. \nIn this introductory evening\, we will melt below our habit patterns of the default nervous system and connect directly with this core intelligence ─ discovering our own intimate\, ever fresh\, self-healing\, oxytocin-replenishing\, cell-renewing\, inspired embodiment practice. \nUtilizing conscious breath\, sound vibration\, subtle intrinsic movement\, embryological anatomy and provocative inquiry\, we enter into the inner alchemy that allows a dissolve of any outdated structures that may be obstructing our path. A psycho-spiritual somatic reorganization and higher order of self-regulation arises as our cells surrender into the all-pervasive holding ground of nature that is always present\, when we are seated in the Core. \nWe will re-emerge renewed\, resourced and ready to re-engage our senses such that they become thresholds where the divine\, the natural world\, our culture and the mystery of being human coalesce as the dynamic dance of Life. \n“The beauty of any true transformational path is that it will involve pattern interrupting the normal way in which you breathe\, and thus your unconscious identity\, taking you home to the innocence of your origins and the birthright of your Biological Breath – a systemic breath that unifies your body\, mind and heart. You awaken as a whole body\, mind\, and heart breathing\, reclaiming ALL that you are.”   \nwww.ajayasommers.com \nPre-registration (strongly recommended): $25 \nAt the door (as space allows): $25 \nREGISTER \n  \nPlease note that this is one of an ongoing series of special intimate gatherings to be held in the new Open Circle Room at Chochmat HaLev (the first door on the left down the side passageway). \nDue to limited space\, and in order to facilitate a more intimate container\, these gatherings will be limited to about 15 people. Therefore\, we strongly recommend pre-registration for these special evenings. \nFor anyone who has not pre-registered\, admission at the door will be as space allows. So\, be sure to sign-up early\, and please try to arrive at least 5 minutes before the starting time. \nAlso note that\, unlike most Open Circle events\, these gatherings are not by donation. We require a specific admission price\, whether by pre-registration or at the door. Thank you for your understanding and support.
