Susanne Marie ~ Simple Truth
Whether you are an advanced practitioner, or newly entering the spiritual stream, one can always use the simple (yet profound), essential practice of resting one's attention on presence. As you may know, what we sincerely give our attention to, grows, and this is also true in regards to realizing our true nature.
It is easy to get caught up with flowery or complicated pointers, falsely believing that realization is difficult to attain and meant for the few. But it does take a certain type of dedication and willingness to unstrip oneself of imagination and avoid the tendency to complicate things, which puts awakening into time.
Together we will practice the essential teaching of resting attention on stillness, helping to deepen presence in one's everyday life.

Gail Brenner ~ Melting into Being (In-Person Event)
Melting into Being - Come and enjoy an afternoon of melting into being with your fellow truth lovers. All are welcome!
In our time together, we’ll relax into effortless being, marinating in the luminescent knowing of our true nature. We’ll leave the limitations of our personal stories and attachments to discover liberation—already here—timeless, boundless, and free. This is you…who you’ve always been despite any beliefs that tell you otherwise.At the same time, we bow to our humanness—meeting our conditioned and fear-based patterns with understanding and compassion. And we know that who we are is unlimited, overflowing with love, and infinitely peaceful. You are welcome just as you are with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions—or simply to share sacred space. With guided meditation, quotes from our beloved masters, and open conversation, we’ll celebrate together, discovering peace and happiness right at the heart of our everyday human lives. I look forward to being with you!
