SUMMARY:Tilicho ~ "On Truth"
DESCRIPTION:What is Truth? What do we mean by “Awakening”\, “Enlightenment”\, “Self-realisation”\, “Samadhi”\, “The Natural State”? What are the spiritual traps? You are invited to explore what is it that you are really looking for. \nAbout Tilicho:\nTilicho spontaneously realized the Self in 1998 without following any teaching or practice. The absence of spiritual conditioning allowed her to see through the veils of spiritual idealism and illusions. She ended up spending thirteen years in Tiruvannamalai in south India\, the seat of Ramana Maharshi and the sacred mountain\, Arunachala. While recognizing the beauty of the Advaita teachings\, she also observed that they can easily be misunderstood and distorted. Although the Self is eternally free from the world\, it is not separate from it. Clarity does not exclude openness. Her teaching stresses the need to combine Masculine and Feminine qualities and approaches. It is an invitation to find unity within and without. \n“May all beings realize who they truly are! Om Sat Chit Ananda.” \nIf you wish to follow the initiation with the help of the book The Source\, satsangs will also be the place to provide support\, help\, healing and clarity. \nwww.tilicho.fr \nYou can purchase a recording of this event for $10: \nBuy Recording \nAfter purchase\, you’ll receive a link to a video on Vimeo.\nThe recording is not downloadable\, but can be saved for later viewing on your Vimeo account. \nPlease note this is an unedited recording of a live\, interactive Zoom meeting.

SUMMARY:Ellen Emmet  ~ The Awakening Body
DESCRIPTION:Satsang 2-4 pm; refreshments until 5 \nIn our daily lives\, the body is seldom tasted as it truly is. We rarely listen to its language or allow it to simply blossom with its natural\, organic intelligence. In fact we have deeply disconnected from this level of experience and even when we turn back towards the body\, we come with agendas and ideas that we project upon it\, only to perpetuate a network of tension and density that we identify with as ‘myself’. \nEllen’s approach to the body is a form of ‘somatic inquiry’ that invites us to open to the totality of our felt\, tactile and sensorial experience moment by moment\, free of any agenda. With the help of guided meditation\, visualizations and dialog\, we will discover our place in and as this open\, available\, listening presence which is our essential identity. Simultaneously the body will uncover its organic and natural resonance and identity with this presence which is its source and substance. Gently and effortlessly\, it will flow with more and more ease\, intensity and transparency. \nEllen’s deepest intuition was confirmed when she met her teacher\, Francis Lucille. In his presence\, she recognized the eternal\, limitless and universal nature of our shared reality. As a child\, Ellen loved to move and dance. She knew\, without words\, the joy and limitless transparency that the body dissolved into when it was free and alive. Thus\, the experience we call the body has always been central to all of Ellen’s experiences\, both in ignoring and in recognizing our true nature. \nEllen offers meetings and retreats\, sharing a direct exploration of reality sourced in the traditions of Kashmir Shivaism and Advaitic self-inquiry. In addition\, she has a private practice as a psychotherapist\, and facilitator of Authentic Movement. She has Master Degrees in Dance Movement Therapy from NYU\, and Transpersonal Psychology from JFK\, and has a certificate in Laban Movement. She lives in Oxford\, England with her husband\, Rupert Spira. \nwww.ellenemmet.com \nSuggested Donation:  $10- $20\, no one turned away. \nLocation: 8476 Sonoma Ave\, Sebastopol\, CA. Park on Sonoma Ave. \nWalk down short driveway to house with carport. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early for the best seat.
