When the mind settles into Silence, the heart opens to the great mystery hidden everywhere in plain sight. The formless takes the form of Love, melting the barrier between self and world, reconnecting us to primordial Wholeness. This Wholeness is like a song that is already playing within. Every moment of life, sublime or awful, can be experienced as a flowing wholeness.

We’ll practice an effortless way of melting into wholeness, using Shakti bija mantras as a means of letting Presence move through us like a song; praying until we become the prayer.
Ishtar is a meditation teacher, monk, gardener, and head teacher of the School for Awakened Living. He poetically speaks about discovering the Bliss-Filled Fullness we never need to chase, as it's always already trying to flood our lives.

Within all our longings lies the greatest longing of all: to know ourselves as whole and divine.

Yet in everyday life, we can lose touch with this living pull, or attempt to satisfy it through things that can never fully meet it.

In this gathering, we will look at the ways longing opens us, motivates us, and calls us beyond the pleasures of the earthly realm toward something more sublime. We will explore the relationship between longing and devotion, yearning and surrender, heartbreak and opening, and the mysterious way love itself can become a guide.

Known for her fierce tenderness, irreverent wisdom, and unwavering presence, Jeannie Zandi creates powerful spaces for transformation, where truth is met in the raw, and awakening moves beyond concept into lived reality.

Peter Russell will share insights and practices from his new book, How to Meditate Without Even Trying — a book that challenges conventional assumptions about meditation and offers a refreshingly simple approach: the less you try, the easier meditation becomes.

For many beginners, meditation can feel like an uphill battle — a never-ending struggle to quiet the thinking mind and focus the attention. In Peter’s approach, we don’t need to control the mind or try to remain present. Instead he offers practices and insights that allow the mind to settle down naturally. Meditation then becomes not only easier and more effective, but also more enjoyable.

Peter Russell coined the term "global brain" with his 1980's bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have on humanity. He is the author of twelve other books, and his mission is to distill the essence of the world’s wisdom traditions, and disseminate it in ways that are appropriate for the current times.

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.

The way this unfolds is deeply unique for each of us, and life itself offers the perfect teaching, if you are paying attention.
For 30 years, Lisa has been a devoted student of her beloved teacher Gangaji—who, in 2005, invited her to begin sharing Satsang. Lisa honors a tradition rooted in direct self-inquiry, stillness, and the intimate discovery of truth of who you are.

Are you ready to raise your vibration and consciousness, let go of what no longer serves you, and reconnect with your highest Truth and deepest potential in this life?

During this 3-day online event, powerful spiritual energies will support you through a deep process of awakening, healing, and transformation. Whether you are just beginning your journey or already walking a spiritual path, this experience is here to support you exactly where you are.

Each day, we will come together for a powerful energy healing session that includes a talk, guided healing and energy transmission, followed by a live Q&A.

Eva is a renowned spiritual teacher and energy healer who has worked with thousands of people from all over the world. Through her own profound spiritual awakening—moving through multiple levels of consciousness, and healing her human system—she has embodied the wisdom she now shares.

We all carry wounds from living as though we are separate from the Presence of our true Nature. This has caused hurt, insecurity, trauma and imbalances in our mental and physical health, in varying degree,s for everyone. This retreat will explore how we can heal our human wounding on all levels, and become the magnificent, unique, expression of embodied Presence that we each are, free of the identities formed from our wounding.

When all of who we are is met in/as our essential Nature, we are undivided, empowered and healed. We become embodied Presence.

Lynn Marie Lumiere offers a rare blend of embodied spiritual wisdom with a skilled therapeutic approach that facilitates both the healing of psychological trauma/wounding and the embodiment of awakening.

The feminine and masculine paths illuminate and engage different aspects of energy, attention and anatomy in remembering Wholeness. A man's body and a woman's body are designed differently, and that has ramifications on the maturation of our mystical paths. Popular wisdom traditions are skewed by a primarily masculine lens.

In this event just for women, 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 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.

We live in a world that celebrates doing. We measure our days by what we accomplished, and even our spiritual life can become another project, another attempt to improve ourselves or to get somewhere in particular.

But what if we've gotten the order backwards?

What if doing was never meant to define who we are, but to arise naturally from who we are?

In this gathering, we'll explore the relationship between being and doing, and how much of our striving comes from forgetting the ground of our own Being. We'll look at what becomes possible when we rest more deeply in the simple fact of our existence.
