SUMMARY:Jeannie Zandi ~ Spiritual Maturity & The Baby Within
DESCRIPTION:Join Jeannie to explore the world of spiritual maturity and how to recognize the young places in us that thwart that\, and meet them with mercy and compassion. \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 a nondual spiritual teacher and guide for embodied awakening\, inviting students to fully inhabit their human lives with presence\, clarity\, and love. Known for her fierce tenderness\, irreverent wisdom\, and unwavering presence\, she creates powerful spaces for transformation\, where truth is met in the raw\, and awakening moves beyond concept into lived reality. \nHer work bridges the mystical and the practical\, inviting students to embrace every aspect of experience—joy\, challenge\, and the mundane—as fuel for awakening. Rather than transcending life\, she calls us to root in it\, maturing into authentic expressions of love\, serving the whole with wisdom and heart. \nwww.jeanniezandi.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

There will be a few moments of silence to start the meeting and then Lisa will speak and invite you to share about your realizations and ask questions about awakening. \nAbout Lisa Schumacher\nLisa grew up in Colusa\, CA\, and attended college at San Luis Obispo in the 1980’s. After she moved to Southern Oregon in the early 90s\, a friend invited her to a video satsang with Gangaji. Upon hearing Gangaji say “Be your Natural Self”\, Lisa’s heart caught on fire and she fell into a deep bow of surrender. That meeting revealed to her the absolute simplicity of the natural\, living truth of Love\, inseparable from who one is. Lisa moved to Bolinas in 1999 to be closer to Gangaji and the vibrant community around her. \nIn 2006\, Lisa was asked by Gangaji to meet with people and share her discovery of the Love that is alive in the core of one’s being . She holds meetings in Europe\, Australia\, New Zealand and North America. She’s also a long-time student of Eli Jaxon-Bear\, Gangaji’s husband\, and a founding teacher of the “Leela School of Awakening”. Lisa is the author of “The Stone I Love”\, a book of poetry inspired by her meeting with Gangaji\, available on her website. \nIn Lisa’s meetings\, she invites you to rest in stillness. Your discoveries and questions about awakening\, deepening\, and the unfolding truth are welcome. The teaching is in the tradition of Gangaji\, who is a student of Papaji\, who had his awakening at the feet of Ramana Maharshi. \nLisa’s website: satsangwithlisa.org \nSatsang: 2-4 pm\nRefreshments: until 5\nSuggested Donation:  $10- $20\, no one turned away.\nNo pre-registration.
