SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Vulnerability
DESCRIPTION:How might true strength spring forth from vulnerability? Join Jeannie and friends to explore the nature of vulnerability and how it is the foundation for a sturdy heart. \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. \nJeannie Zandi 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. \nwww.jeanniezandi.com \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter

SUMMARY:Susanne Marie ~ Celebrating our Interconnection
DESCRIPTION:Satsang 2-4 pm\nRefreshments until 5 \nCelebrating our Interconnection: Join Susanne Marie and friends as we create a circle with the intention to open to what is everybody’s birthright: the light\, love\, and depth of your own Being. \nThe satsang starts with a short meditation\, then comments by Susanne Marie\, followed by Q&A and discussion. \nSusanne Marie offers teachings in support of freedom\, sacred mutuality\, and the celebration of our common essence of love and unity with all life. Her work is transformational and empowering\, as she points to the remembering of That which we have always been\, allowing truth to become ever more conscious of itself through a human life. In a relaxed\, empathetic and personable manner\, and with deep personal insight\, humor\, and grace\, she helps others deconstruct their beliefs of what living a life of freedom looks like. \nThe parent of two young adults\, Susanne offers spiritual mentoring\, online and in-person group facilitation\, as well as retreats. \nSuggested Donation:  $10- $20\, no one turned away. \nLocation: 8476 Sonoma Ave\, Sebastopol\, CA. Park on Sonoma Ave.\nWalk down the short driveway to the house with a carport.\nPlease arrive 10-15 minutes early. Limited seating outside\, so please consider bringing a chair. \nFrom susannemarie.org \n“I became a seeker at the early age of seven. I felt like I was engaged in a losing battle with the conditioned trance of the adult world\, rendering the felt sense of unity I had throughout my childhood for the most part\, unconscious. I sought for that lost part in various ways over the course of my young adult life\, leading to the study of yoga\, meditation\, and consciousness. Finding a direction that helped make sense of my life was a relief to my system. My goal was a return to wholeness. \nOver time\, I was led to a few remarkable teachers and teachings\, as well as a variety of difficult life lessons which eventually cast me onto an empty shore where I could not sustain beliefs – even in what spirituality could give me. For a long time\, accrued conditioning\, both my own as well as collective\, fell away as I unraveled back to essential nature. \nMany realizations have occurred over the years\, and I can now say that we humans are both more simple and more complex than I could have imagined. For seeking to end is a relief. Remembering intrinsic wholeness is a grace and helps make life meaningful. The revelation of the emptiness of true nature\, while we move and live simultaneously as a human being\, is a miracle and mystery – one for which I am grateful and which leads to my sharing.”
