SUMMARY:Isaac Shapiro ~ Meetings in Truth
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this special series of evening meetings and daylong gatherings with Isaac Shapiro in Berkeley. \nDate & Time info is detailed below. \nIsaac helps us inquire into how we live our lives moment by moment\, and how to better align ourselves with the deepest spiritual truths. He works through pointed but good-humored questioning\, reflecting back to us\, and helping to unravel\, the conditioning of the mind and the nervous system\, allowing a deeper participation in the moment. \nIsaac is an internationally known facilitator and non-dual teacher\, fascinated with life lived in alignment with the world’s wisdom traditions. He enjoys exploring and assisting those who share this interest. A student of H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji)\, Isaac draws on a broad spectrum of understanding\, from neurophysiology to some of the latest discoveries in quantum physics\, which he applies in a light-hearted but direct way. \nThrough years of working with people\, Isaac has cultivated and refined an ability to track what is happening in the nervous system of participants. Bringing this awareness to people’s attention\, allows our natural\, innate self-regulating mechanism to be re-established. \n“My approach is to invite you to look for yourself at what is true in your own being. This points to what you already know\, but which is obscured in the ways of the nervous system. The beauty of this invitation is that nothing needs to be changed\, fixed or eliminated. It is a non-dualistic\, non-judgmental enquiry into our present being. \n“Everything happens through the agency of awareness. As we bring awareness to our unconscious habits\, there is a shift that occurs. In the course of the investigation\, people spontaneously recognize the true nature of themselves\, which many report as the experience of peace\, unconditional love\, compassion\, or simply of being home.” \nwww.isaacshapiro.org\n \nEvening Meetings \nWed. & Thur. Sept 11th & 12th\nand Sun.- Fri. Sept 15th to 20th  in Berkeley\n7:00 – 8:45 pm\nChochmat HaLev\, 2215 Prince Street\, Berkeley \nSuggested Donation for evenings: $15-$25\nNo one turned away for lack of funds. \nDaylong Intensives\nSat. and Sun.\, Sept 21st & 22nd\, in Berkeley\n11:00 am to 5:00 pm\nChochmat HaLev\, 2215 Prince Street\, Berkeley\nNo pre-registration required \nSliding Scale: $50 to $100 \nLunch Break:\nWelcome to bring your lunch\, and there are also various places near the Berkeley venue\, to go out to eat. \nNote: Per venue policy\, only vegetarian food is allowed on premises at Chochmat HaLev.

SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Everyday Mystic
DESCRIPTION:10 am to 12 noon (Pacific Time – San Francisco\, CA\, USA) Time Zone Converter \nAt the heart of being human lies the mysterious wedding of Heaven and Earth\, spirit and matter\, the light of spirit and the humility of flesh.  \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\, 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. 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.

This moment is only an experience to us. That’s all we have. The world\, time\, space\, our own bodies and each other are all an experience to us. Through noticing how our cells respond in the experience of now\, there is a noticing of the production of not only the sense of reality but also the sense of self that we believe we have.”  \nwww.isaacshapiro.org\n \nEvening Meetings \nWed. & Thur.
