Beth Miller ~ VULNERABILITY – A SUPERPOWER (In-Person)

Sunday, May 17, 2026 @ 3:00pm-5:00pm (Pacific Time)
Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, 1606 Bonita Ave
Berkeley, CA United States

Together, let’s dive into what we know in our essence, that what we are in the truest sense is an inside job – an inward surrendering of anything and everything that is in the way of knowing, living, being and expressing our true nature of loving being-ness. A courageous surrendering . . .a trusting vulnerability.

Often, we humans, shy away from vulnerability. We have been taught it is weak, unattractive, and needy, but, as counter-intuitive as it appears, being vulnerable . . . naked in the sun . . . is holding hands with the Divine.

Beth Miller is a spiritual teacher, psychotherapist, and author who weaves psychological depth with direct spiritual inquiry into presence, love and wholeness. Beth studied and followed Adyashanti, David Hawkins, Mooji and Jan Frazier, with whom she had a profound opening into oneness and the immensity of love.

Arian Mateo ~ Liberating Unworthiness and Activating the Core Qualities of Being ~ 4 Part Online Series

Monday, May 18, 2026 @ 10:00am - 12:00pm (Pacific Time), part of a 4-Part Retreat, includes May 18, 22, 25 & 29

In this four-part series, we will move directly into one of the deepest patterns in the human system, the sense of unworthiness. Rather than trying to fix or override it, we will meet it at its root through awareness, embodiment, and precise guidance, allowing it to unwind naturally. Each session includes a guided experiential process that helps you see how unworthiness shapes your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and capacity to receive life, and how it can begin to release. Alongside this, each session will work with and activate one essential quality of being: Love, Power, Peace, and Gratitude.
Arian Mateo is a spiritual guide, psychologist, and master therapist who shares an integrative approach to awakening, healing, and self-realization. He is the founder of the Awareness Method, where he integrates profound spiritual insights with deep psychological understanding to bring about embodied and lasting liberation.

Lisa Schumacher ~ Life is the Teacher

Thursday, May 28, 2026 @ 9:00am-11:00am (Pacific Time)

Self-discovery is the direct realization that who you are is already free and perfect; it cannot be held in the mind or in experience because you are not an object. You are the living truth in form. Your life is showing you directly.

Again and again, the mind gives rise to a new identity — a better me, a worse me, a self striving for survival, approval, or control. through these movements of everyday life, we are invited to see what comes and goes, and what has never moved at all......

Ajaya Sommers ~ Awake Attachment™ – Intimacy as a Path of Embodiment and Awakening ~ 4 Part Online Series

Monday, June 15, 2026 @ 10:00am-12:00pm (Pacific Time), part of a 4-Part Series, includes June 15, 17, 22 & 24

When the separate self dissolves, what remains is not emptiness. It is intimacy. With everything.

This is not an achievement. It is our original nature.

And yet most of us cannot sustain it. Because the nervous system learned, early, that closeness was not always safe.
Yet the very places we feel most broken, most defended, most disconnected, are not obstacles to that intimacy. They are the doorway into it.

Awakening to our true nature does not automatically resolve the nervous system patterns organized around protection. This series explores that meeting point - where spiritual realization and the living body learn to move together.
Ajaya Sommers is a somatic practitioner, teacher, and speaker. Her work lives at the intersection of somatic embodiment, relational intimacy, and non-dual inquiry, helping people reclaim presence, coherence, and deeper connection to themselves, others and Life itself.

Ishita Sharma ~ The Feminine Mystical Path – Homecoming (women only)

Thursday, June 18, 2026 @ 10:00am - 11:30am (Pacific Time)

This event is just for women, to explore the fullness of our expression with a group that will invite and receive it as such.
The feminine and masculine paths illuminate and engage different aspects of energy, attention and anatomy in remembering Wholeness. Popular wisdom traditions are skewed by a primarily masculine lens.

Together we will explore what embodiment beyond awakening entails uniquely for our feminine incarnations, learning from and honoring the female mystics who have walked before us, while mining the gold hidden in our own unique blueprints.

Ishita Sharma serves as a spiritual teacher, healing mirror, embodiment partner, and practitioner of body-based psychotherapy. She is devoted to supporting healing and awakening in all those committed to living a bright and connected life, sharing their gifts for the good of the Whole.

Lynn Marie Lumiere, MFT ~ The Healing Power of Embodied Presence

Friday, June 19, 2026 @ 10:00am-12:00pm (Pacific Time)

The power to heal lies within the embodied presence of our own Being. That, and only that, can transform and free our fixed and distorted identity that causes our mental and physical health issues. The false identity cannot change itself. True healing comes from something beyond that, but not separate. It is in the meeting of our infinite being and our finite humanness that the alchemy of true healing takes place.

Lynn Marie Lumiere, MFT is a seasoned nondual psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, spiritual mentor, and author. Her work is a rare blend of deep spiritual wisdom and skilled therapeutic work with a focus on healing psychological trauma/wounding and embodied awakening.

John J. Prendergast, Ph.D. ~ “Being Absolutely No One and No Thing” (In-Person)

Saturday, June 20, 2026 @ 10:30am-5:00pm (Pacific Time)
First Presbyterian Church of San Rafael, 1510 Fifth Ave
San Rafael, CA 94901

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.

Sarah Taylor ~ The Heart of Awakening (In-Person)

Sunday, June 28, 2026 @ 3:00pm-5:00pm (Pacific Time)
Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, 1606 Bonita Ave
Berkeley, CA United States

The heart holds a doorway that can help us to embody truth, know the deeper intimacy of non-separation, and open into a clarity that is felt as much as it is seen.

What the traditions call divine love is not merely a feeling that arises in awakening. It is the welcoming aliveness of our very nature.

In this gathering, Sarah Taylor explores the heart as fulcrum: the place where insight can be found, deepened, and lived; where loving awareness, brought openly to what is here, completes something that clear seeing alone leaves unfinished.

Sarah is an awakening trail guide, intuitive energy healer, and mystic whose work explores awakening, embodiment, and the fullness of being. As a former stand-up comedian, she brings warmth, relatability, and a touch of irreverence to the spiritual path.
