John J. Prendergast, Ph.D. ~ “Being Absolutely No One and No Thing” (In-Person)
When we know that we are no thing, we are free to be as we are –- both as spacious, loving awareness and as unique, individuated being. Through silent and guided meditations, a talk, meditative inquiry, and experiential conversations in community, we will explore seeing and feeling through who we have mis-taken our self to be and discovering what remains.
John Prendergast, Ph.D is a spiritual teacher, retired psychotherapist, and retired Adjunct Professor of Psychology at CIIS, well known for his pioneering work in integrating non-dual wisdom and psychotherapy. He studied with the European sage Jean Klein for many years, as well as with Adyashanti, who gave him dharma transmission in 2023. He is the author of The Deep Heart (2019), In Touch (2015), and his latest, Your Deepest Ground: A Guide to Embodied Spirituality (March, 2025).

This event builds on the release of Jeremy Lent’s book, Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All, which envisions a world system that sets the conditions for all to flourish on a regenerated earth. Jeremy and Lisa will explore this vision from the depth of non-dual understanding.
If the root of our Metacrisis is separation, then the non-dual recognition of non-separation is essential to responding skillfully. This is the deeper basis for any lasting systemic change that may occur.
Jeremy Lent has been described as “one of the greatest thinkers of our age.” He is an author and speaker whose work investigates the underlying causes of our civilization’s existential crisis, and is the founder and host of the Deep Transformation Network, an online global community of over 5,000 members exploring pathways toward a life-affirming future on a regenerated Earth.
Lisa Ferguson, Ph.D., integrates awakening, healing, and action in her work on Engaged Non-duality, where she holds space for personal and collective awakening and skillful action.

Join us for a four-session journey over two weeks, moving from the first taste of recognition to living from awake awareness in daily life. Each session builds on the last, tracing a direct path from initial recognition to expressed realization, and is intended for practitioners ready to move from first glimpse to sustained recognition — from "first sit" to a genuine shift in how life is lived.
Ryan Burton is a meditation teacher and guide in the non-dual traditions, with over seventeen years of practice across Dhammakaya Theravada, Dzogchen, Vedanta, and Zen. He teaches post-awakening integration — the territory that opens after the initial recognition. His work also draws on Tibetan Buddhism, Dream Yoga, and Robert Monroe’s Focus Levels system.

Awakening may reveal the truth of our essential oneness, but it is in relationship that this realization is tested, deepened, and brought to life. Other people have a wonderful way of showing us exactly where love has taken root and where we are still defending, hiding, accommodating, controlling, or insisting that life go our way.
In this two-hour gathering, we’ll explore the essential role of community in the embodiment of awakening.
Jeannie Zandi is a non-dual spiritual teacher and guide for embodied awakening, inviting students to fully inhabit their human lives with presence, clarity, and love.

Marlies Myoku Cocheret ~ Sensual Satsang for Women
For women only: Sensual Satsang is an exploration of ‘incending’ - coming home into your female body, into the senses, and into the fullness of embodied life. It’s the body ‘incending’ back into the spacious, still nature that you are, until body and Silence melt together as one.
We begin by resting in and as the Silence that we are. From there, through guided practice, we awaken our senses and deeply feel and receive the body. With kindness and patience, we meet whatever arises - going only as fast as our slowest part - allowing body and Silence to slowly soften and melt together.
Marlies Myoku Cocheret has 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.

If you bring your attention fully present into the now, and inquire with a open curiosity into the truth of this moment, what is discovered is that underlying all experiences lies an invisible, potent presence or awareness. All else appears in and is perceived by this awareness.
As this consciousness penetrates the physical body, unconscious beliefs, conditioning and unprocessed emotions rise to the surface to be consciously felt and transmuted. This process of deep healing and maturing takes place over time, while one remains anchored in the formlessness of the unending now.
In her early thirties Louise felt a deep call in her heart to visit India, where she experienced a profound spiritual awakening. As she opened more to this non-dual truth, she experienced a deepening and integration, and a new form of expression revealed itself. Louise is passionate about supporting people to live a life of presence and unconditional love.
