SUMMARY:Marlies Myoku Cocheret ~ Women’s Sensual Satsang (for Women Only)
DESCRIPTION:If traditional non dual Satsang is about waking up out of our bodies to our true transcendent nature “to know we are not this thought\, not this feeling\, etc.”\, then Sensual Satsang is about ‘incending’ back into the body\, into the senses\, – or more accurately – the body ‘incending’ back into our spacious\, silent nature until body and silence melt together as one. \nDuring this Women’s Sensual Satsang\, we first anchor ourselves as silence and then through guided practice\, we awaken our senses. Along the way\, we may bump into parts of ourselves that are disconnected and numb. With tenderness and patience – going only as fast as the slowest part – we invite these parts and the rest of the body to melt into the vast silence\, until there is no gap between the two\, no divide. \nSilence & Sensuality are very close to my heart. Hope to see you in Sensual Satsang! \nAbout Marlies:\nMarlies Myoku Cocheret brings a potent invitation into the deep silence that we are. She gathers women together to celebrate their sovereignty and the sensual\, silent essence within their bodies. She’s been leading women on journeys of intimate connection with themselves and the feminine Divine for 25+ years and has been offering satsang and retreat since 2000 when Adyashanti asked her to teach. She lives in Tennessee and works internationally as a spiritual teacher\, psychologist\, Hakomi therapist\, and tantric educator. \n“Marlies is a master at offering practices that help us embody and connect to ourselves. I felt seen and met by her. Her work is deeply still and yet so enlivening. What a gift!” ~ B.E. \nwww.marliescocheret.com \nSuggested donation: $15 to $40\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:Stephen Capper ~ The Untouched Within ~ In-Person in Sebastopol
DESCRIPTION:Discover within yourself\, what is untouched by conflict.  Our days and minds often dwell in conflict:  conflict with other people\, with various voices and personalities within ourselves\, with institutions and authorities\, and the political conflicts at home\, and in Gaza and the Ukraine.  What is untouched by conflict has been called true nature\, presence\, essence\, being\, divine\, soul… etc.  It’s through awareness to what we’re telling ourselves\, and dropping in and embodying our emotions that are arising… that we can open to a deeper truth.   \nStephen came to the US from the UK is 1983 to be close to Osho.
