SUMMARY:Amoda Maa ~ Standing as Openness in the Face of Brokenness and Loss
DESCRIPTION:10 am to 12 noon (Pacific Time – San Francisco\, CA\, USA) Time Zone Converter \nJoin Amoda in an intimate dialogue that invites you to reject nothing\, welcome everything\, and surrender into the deepest falling of the open heart. Includes a silent and/or guided meditation\, discourse\, and ample time for questions and answers.  \n“Listen to the visitors who knock on your heart … knocking from the inside. Shame\, pain\, loneliness\, grief and more … all these are your allies not your foes. They yearn to come in\, to be acknowledged\, accepted\, loved. For what is broken is the doorway to gold\, what is shattered is the entrance to inconceivable love\, what brings you to your knees is not a punishment but God’s invitation. Your brokenness is holy.”  \nAmoda is a contemporary spiritual teacher\, offering meetings and retreats to support and deepen the living of an awakened life. She has been sharing her teachings since 2012\, initially at small gatherings in the UK. Today\, she lives in the US and her teachings are followed by a growing number of seekers world-wide. She is the author of Embodied Enlightenment\, as well as Radical Awakening and Change Your Life\, Change Your World. While often referred to as a ‘nondual teacher\,’ she prefers to emphasize the full embracement of the human experience as a path to liberation. She brings to her teachings a depth and breadth of understanding of the human journey\, born out her own immersion in the furnace of personal transformation. \nwww.amodamaa.com \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\nPLEASE REGISTER EARLY if you can.

SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ The Dance of Yin and Yang
DESCRIPTION:When the divine energies of yin and yang are balanced\, harmony and beauty result. When these energies are imbalanced\, disharmony and ugliness ensue. In our current imbalanced climate of devalued yin and “toxic” yang\, it is easy to overlook the divine nature of both of these principles. Join Jeannie for an inquiry into the holy energies of yin and yang\, how they dance together\, and how we can support the call back to balance that is needed for harmony in ourselves and the world. \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. \njeanniezandi.com \nSuggested donation: $15-$25 \n
