January 13th, 7-9pm
Northbrae Community Church, Berkeley, CA
What if this was the year humanity remembered what we really are? While the evenings build upon each other, each session is complete in itself - attend any combination that works for you. Through meditation, teaching, and group exploration, Jeannie guides us through the ancient journey of reuniting human and divine–not as an abstract concept, but as a lived reality. We'll discover how to heal the primordial split between spirit and matter, heaven and earth, right here in our own hearts. These times of great unraveling are actually a profound invitation to remember and embody the love we've always been. Through embracing our full humanity, we become living bridges between worlds, where the divine and human dance as one.
Jeannie Zandi is a spiritual teacher who supports people to integrate awakening into every aspect of human experience and to bring their heart's offering to life. Known for her potent blend of spiritual mastery and grounded humanness, she creates transformational spaces with fierce tenderness, irreverent wisdom, and unwavering presence, inspiring students to embody their deepest truth in everyday life.
Her gift for inviting people into resting, rooted presence evokes a deep meeting with oneself and reality. Her disarming humor and directness invite us beyond mere intellectual understanding into direct experience. Through silent and guided meditation, spontaneous talks, and authentic dialogue, Jeannie hosts a space of clarity and warmth where the richness of experience can be explored safely and innermost questions met fully.
At the heart of her teaching is the recognition that life itself is the ground through which we are purified as vessels for divine expression. She guides students to embrace every moment—from mundane to challenging—as fuel for awakening, transforming daily life into a practice of embodied truth. Her work bridges the mystical with the practical, moving beyond abstract concepts into fully embodied awakening. Jeannie calls students to mature into capable, authentic expressions of love and truth, serving the whole with wisdom and courage. This devotional path invites alignment with the divine, where life's challenges become opportunities to manifest love in action.
