John Astin ~ Everything is the Doorway (In-Person)

Sunday, March 15, 2026 @ 3:00pm-5:00pm (Pacific Time)
Northbrae Community Church, 941 The Alameda
Berkeley, CA United States

The largely consensus human view is that our thoughts about reality are essentially the same as reality, what psychologists term, “cognitive fusion.” But is that really true? Do our experiences actually conform to the ideas and beliefs we hold about them?

Through a series of meditative inquiries and dialogue, psychologist and spiritual teacher John Astin invites us into a deep dive into this question, exploring the nature of what’s appearing experientially to discover how it is not just those special, “peak” experiences that lie beyond the reach of our concepts and descriptions, but every experience.

John Astin is the author of five books exploring the nature of reality, and also a singer, songwriter and recording artist who has produced seven CDs of original spiritual-contemplative music. John holds a PhD in health psychology, is an internationally acclaimed scholar in the field of mind-body medicine.

Susanne Marie ~ Maturing the Teacher–Student Relationship: Beyond Projection and Dependency

Sunday, March 29, 2026 @ 10:00am-12:00pm (Pacific Time)

Susanne will explore the evolving dynamics of teacher–student relationships in spiritual spaces, with particular attention to projection, idealization, and the subtle ways personal authority can be surrendered. Drawing on the insight “don’t mistake the finger for the moon,” the conversation will examine how genuine realization is often confused with external figures, and how both students and teachers are invited into a more mature and balanced relationship with guidance. The meeting will also reflect on a broader collective shift toward self-responsibility and inner authority.

Susanne Marie offers integrated teachings in support of freedom, and the celebration of our common essence of love and unity with all life. As a natural empath, her teaching style is heart-centered and practical, with a focus on supporting your unique awakening journey.

Ajaya Sommers ~ Being Here: From Emotional Reactivity to Embodied Intimacy

Saturday, April 4, 2026 @ 10:00am-12:00pm (Pacific Time)

We are living in an extraordinary moment. The pace and intensity of modern life often exceed our nervous system’s capacity to metabolize experience. When the nervous system perceives overwhelm, it naturally organizes around protection. Attention narrows. Reactivity increases. Even the most sincere spiritual insight can become difficult to embody, because the organism itself is working simply to maintain stability.

When we learn how to support the body’s natural capacity for safety and coherence, emotional activation no longer needs to overwhelm us. Instead, it can become workable material — living energy that deepens presence, vitality, and our capacity for authentic relationship.

Ajaya Sommers is a somatic practitioner, teacher, and speaker, whose work lives at the intersection of somatic embodiment, relational intimacy, and non-dual inquiry, helping people reclaim presence, coherence, and deeper connection to themselves and others.

Adam Chacksfield ~ Awareness, Love, Desire: Embodying Aliveness (In-Person)

Sunday, April 12, 2026 @ 3:00pm-5:00pm (Pacific Time)
Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, 1606 Bonita Ave
Berkeley, CA United States

Let’s immerse ourselves in the potent field of loving awareness and explore our experience in a way that organically heals, enlightens, and enlivens.

We get to put down the burden of trying to be someone or pushing ourselves along to some fabricated destination. We’re already whole, and every part of us deserves love.

We’re invited to live inside the inspiration of our real desire instead of performing “normal.” Desire lights us up, arousing our curiosity, and shaping our life beyond all self-images and imagined ideal states........ LEARN MORE HERE

Lynn Marie Lumiere ~ Empowered Embodiment: Nondual Healing of our Human Wounding

Friday, April 17, 2026 @ 10:00am - 12:30pm (Pacific Time), Four Part Series includes April 17, 20, 24, 27

Awakening to an infinite source of Love does not in itself resolve all our human wounding and trauma. It is through embodying that Love that we become empowered to bring about true change and healing in all dimensions of our life. This occurs as we meet our pain, hurt, and wounding in/as awakened Presence, undivided. It is that simple. Yet, our body-mind often needs skilled support to build a capacity for allowing that simple, yet powerful, nondual healing to manifest. This 4-part series offers an experiential exploration of Empowered Embodiment, which brings about nondual healing and awakening on four dimensions of human experience: somatic, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Lynn Marie Lumiere's work offers a rare integration of depth psychotherapy, somatic trauma healing, and embodied spiritual awakening.

Tiburon, CA

Ramana Maharshi has been a light shining in the darkness for countless seekers of Truth. In this silent retreat day honoring his life and teachings, we will also consider ways that his method of Self-Inquiry has been misunderstood, and ways in which some seekers make “Silence” an object rather than realizing its continual presence in everyday life. Included in this day will be video clips of his life and darshan.

Dorothy Hunt is the spiritual director of Moon Mountain Sangha, and a teacher in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti. Dorothy has a long and deep connection with the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and offers this day to any who are interested in coming to sit in silence and listen with the Heart.

Miranda Macpherson & Lisa Ferguson ~ Engaged Nonduality: Power, Abuse and Spiritual Bypassing

Sunday, April 26, 2026 @ 9:00am-11:00am (Pacific Time)

We are in a moment of cultural reckoning about abuse and power. The Epstein files reveal the way power and abuse, misogyny and racism, have been part of the underlying structure of our society.

Nondual teachings could be used to avoid these topics, or to retreat from taking action. However, they also have great potential to inform how we can skillfully interrupt harm and foster cultural change that benefits us all.

In this event we’ll invite us to come into a healthy relationship with power and accountability as an expression of nondual compassion.

Miranda Macpherson is a contemporary spiritual teacher who has been guiding others into direct experience of the sacred for over thirty years. Unapologetically feminine, joyful and down to earth, Miranda invites others to become more graceful human beings, embodying creative, peaceful and wise action that serves our human family.

Lisa Ferguson, Ph.D., integrates awakening, healing, and action in her work on Engaged Nonduality. She founded Climate Compassion to support the inner and outer work of responding to our planetary crises with wise action and a compassionate heart.

Beth Miller ~ When The Heart Blooms The World Brightens

Sunday, May 10, 2026 @ 10:00am-12:00pm (Pacific Time)

We live on a planet of duality – where everything expands and contracts, nothing stays the same. Right now, we are living through a massive, destructive falling apart. We are in the midst of a large contracting collapse.

This collapse is not new; collectively we have collapsed before. But we are having to face THIS darkness and THIS collapse as it unfolds; how can we face this moment with fresh eyes and expanded consciousness? Perhaps we can use this moment to individually and collectively grow, mature, love more and maybe even wake up to our deepest reality – our natural beingness that is not divided, not reactive, not closed off from our own shadows and the shadow of the world.

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.
