SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Mercy for Humanness
DESCRIPTION:Live Worldwide Web Event\n10 am to 12 noon (Pacific Time – San Francisco\, CA\, USA) Time Zone Converter \nUnfolding that which you are in daily life requires a forgiving and merciful regard for the frailty and limitations of humanness. Join Jeannie and friends to explore this way of love\, softening and making room in our spiritual endeavors for the humility of our human aspect. \nJeannie’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\, a spontaneous talk and exchange with participants\, Jeannie will host a space of clarity and warmth where the true richness of life can be experienced\, and your innermost spiritual questions can be met fully. Come join us! \nJeannie 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. Residing in Colorado\, she travels widely in the US\, bringing a down-to-earth embodied teaching of living as love. \nwww.jeanniezandi.com \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\nPLEASE REGISTER EARLY if you can.

SUMMARY:Caverly Morgan ~ The Absolute is the Relative:  Touching Race\, Injustice\, and Love
DESCRIPTION:“All being is shared being. To know that is peace. To live that is love.”\n~ Caverly \nWhen we engage in the distortion that the relative plane is separate from the absolute – that it is something to transcend or ‘just an illusion’ – we ignore the reality of the illusion. What is the illusion comprised of? How is it known? And by whom? \nThe relative may appear to arise out of the absolute\, as waves appear to arise out of the ocean\, but like waves\, both relative and absolute are components of a greater whole. They are not separate. When we know ourselves as this whole which subsumes everything\, we cease to diminish or dismiss the mystery of being human. We experience viscerally that “the world is my family.” \nFrom this understanding\, we recognize that liberation is not a singular experience. There can be no individual ego that experiences enlightenment. We suffer when we forget that. We suffer when we perceive ourselves as separate from the collective – on the level of consciousness (the absolute) as well as with our neighbor (the relative). \nWhen we recognize that the world is arising in us\, Awareness\, there is nothing to dismiss. How\, then\, in our situation of privilege on the relative plane\, do we dismiss injustice\, bias\, cruelty in the name of transcendence or ‘spiritual understanding’? How do we participate in systems of oppression while ignoring the effects on our neighbor\, as well as the whole? \nDo we fall for the story that the awakened life we seek is mine to have rather than ours to be? And what’s love got to do with it? \nCaverly Morgan is a meditation teacher\, nonprofit leader\, and visionary. She is the Founder and Guiding Teacher of Presence Collective\, dedicated to igniting personal transformation and collective awakening. She is also the Founder and Guiding Teacher of Peace in Schools — a nonprofit which created the nation’s first for-credit mindfulness class in public high schools. Peace in Schools is pioneering new depths in mindfulness education through teaching youth as well as training educators.\nCaverly blends the original spirit of Zen with a modern nondual approach. Her practice began in 1995 and has included eight years of training in a silent Zen monastery. She has been teaching contemplative practice since 2001.\nPrior to her pioneering efforts with Peace in Schools\, Caverly formerly worked for nonprofits serving people with special needs. An artist and educator\, she brings insight\, passion\, warmth and humor to her transformative work with students of all ages and experience levels. \nwww.caverlymorgan.org \nSuggested Donation: $15 – $25
