John J. Prendergast, Ph.D ~ Being Grounded and Seated in Our Inner Authority: 4-Part Course

Sunday, January 16, 2022 @ 10:00am - 12:00noon (Pacific Time), Part of 4-part Course, Sundays Jan. 16, 23, 30 & Feb. 6

What is the experience of being seated in our inner authority? Of more fully landing here in the timeless now? Of being grounded in but not limited to the body?

This series of four meetings will continue the vital exploration of the groundless ground that we began last spring, further unpacking this dense instinctual level of conditioning in order to more deeply embody our spiritual understanding.

Many long-term spiritual practitioners remain unfamiliar with this critically important domain and are subject to doubting their inner authority and being regularly hijacked by the deeply conditioned and unconscious fears embedded in this area. The four sessions are :

Sunday, January 16th “Ground Zero: Opening to Not Knowing;”

Sunday, January 23rd “Discovering Open-Bodiedness;”

Sunday, January 30th “The Willingness and Unwillingness to Be Here;”

Sunday, February 6th “Being Seated in Our Inner Authority.”
John J. Prendergast, Ph.D., is the author of The Deep Heart and In Touch, a retired Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychology at CIIS, and a retired psychotherapist. He studied for many years with the European sage, Jean Klein, as well as with Adyashanti, and offers online and in-person retreats.

Pamela Wilson ~ The Water of Life is Love ~ 3 Part Online Retreat

Friday, February 18, 2022 @ 10:00am - 12:00pm (Pacific Time), part of a 3-Part Retreat, Feb. 18, 19 & 20

Join Pamela Wilson and fellow sages in gathering together to look into and honor the love at the heart of all movement and stillness. The Love that animates and renews everything.

If everything has a Heart, even that which feels and looks as if it has turned away from Love, there will be a longing to return to the simplicity and satisfaction of living as Wise Love. Nothing wishes to maintain separation, but needs a kind guide home. Each one of us can invite home that which is restless and stuck, back to its own Heart.

Despite history or role play, the pulse of this one heart is constant at the core of everything.

Pamela evokes through dialogue, inquiry and her very presence the qualities of unconditional love and radical acceptance. She is celebrated for her ability to open the heart and create a space in which long-cherished struggles and notions about one’s identity relax.

Ellen Emmet ~ The Awakening Body: 2 part Online Mini-Retreat

Saturday, March 19, 2022 @ & March 20 ~ 9:00am-12:00pm (Pacific Time)

Drawn by our deepest longing, we gather in the invisible shrine.
At the door we leave our beliefs and our ideas. We enter barefoot. We are open. We are together in openness.

During this two-day retreat, we will welcome our direct experience and let it reveal its palpable reality of unconditional love. Within it the layers of suffering that seem to keep us separate from the totality naturally surface.

Our particular focus is our body, allowing it to be our mirror and our pathway, our prayer, and our cry and ultimately the shining expression of our shared essence and unique individual shape.
Ellen’s deepest intuition was confirmed when she met her teacher, Francis Lucille. In his presence, she recognized the eternal, limitless and universal nature of our shared reality. At the same time, she has never ceased exploring her individual journey, always curious to live at the interface between the very personal trajectory of her life and the pure intimacy of Presence.

Boyan Milouchev ~ Embodied Understanding: The Importance of Feeling Our Emotions

Friday, March 25, 2022 @ 9:00am-11:00am (Pacific Time)

Recognizing our True Self - the changeless reality beyond the body, mind, and circumstances in the world - is essential in order to live a true, honest, and happy life. The recognition that we are not the body or the mind is the beginning of a journey of ever-deeper embodiment of our True Nature: of re-alignment of old beliefs with what is True on the level of the mind; and of releasing tensions and becoming more intuitive and free on the level of the body.

This event will focus on the body and on the importance of allowing feelings to flow through the body without self-judgement and self-blame. Often, strong feelings come with unwanted thoughts, and it is the resistance to these thoughts / feelings that sustains them in experience.

From an early age, Boyan was fascinated by the nature of the mind and our experience of reality. After exploring NLP, the Three Principles, and A Course in Miracles, his journey of seeking came to an end when he came across non-duality. His approach is gentle but direct and especially well-suited for those who are ready to embrace life and live it fully.

Marlies Myoku Cocheret ~ Women Only: The Free Flowing Feminine

Saturday, April 2, 2022 @ 9:00am - 12:00 noon (Pacific Time)

During this Way of Woman – "WOW" – gathering, the whole of you is welcome! All desire and passion is welcomed as well as all feeling, sensation, body and emotion. Nothing is excluded.

Silence is the mystery of Her from which we spring, and is sensual in nature. When the female body arrives in awareness and silence, I call that the awakening sensual body.

Our female body is designed for pleasure and goodness. If a woman realizes how free and luscious she really is, the world can be changed in a split second. Nothing, including our own imprisoned self, is able to withstand the power of embodied love in female form. She is our Innermost, our beloved Self.

In the WOW journey you will connect with your Innermost and melt that into the sensuality of your beautiful female body. When you experience this, naturally you shine as who you are – the free flowing feminine. Marlies Myoku Cocheret brings a potent invitation into the deep Silence that we are. Marlies has been offering satsang and retreat since 2000 when Adyashanti asked her to teach.

Loch Kelly ~ Effortless Mindfulness Embodied

Sunday, April 3, 2022 @ 10:00am-12:00noon (Pacific Time)

“Loch Kelly is one of the clearest expressions of authentic awakened freedom and love that I know.”
~ Adyashanti.

Join Loch Kelly in this experiential workshop to learn effortless mindfulness as a way to shift out of your chattering mind and live from your awake heart-mind.  It is not enough to simply wake up out of our small self and try to maintain pure awareness. In order to live awake in relationships and work, we need to familiarize ourselves with what parts of us get in the way of living from embodied awake consciousness and how to include our full humanity.

In these challenging times, effortless mindfulness is ideal as it is done with small glimpses of our True Nature in compassionate relationship to any feelings that arise, with eyes open in the midst of everyday life. Loch Kelly is an award-winning author of The Way of Effortless Mindfulness, a licensed psychotherapist, and recognized leader in the field of meditation and awakening.

Chesaray ~ Humanness: the Doorway to Our Evolution

Thursday, April 7, 2022 @ 9:00am-11:00am (Pacific Time)

This two hour meeting is an invitation into the experiential understanding of the Divine. Our time together will be a still or moving meditation, a talk and exchanges. This work aims to foster ones capacity to be on the edge of growth and aliveness. These palpable guided meditations and exchanges enrich ones receptivity to Grace, encourage deep somatic inquiry, and support awakening in all directions.

Chesaray's search for “What is Real?” began as early as she can remember. After losing several significant loved ones in her teens she was driven into a deep contemplation of grief, God, and death. She studied with several masters in India and the West, which opened a series of profound awakenings which set her in the direction of devoting her life to Self-Realization. After a plunge into a dark night of the soul, her initially unbearable descent turned inside out and became a bow to Life, an unconditional love for the grit and joys of living. It is this Love that guides her heart and mind as she serves the awakening of humanity.

Gail Brenner, Ph.D ~ Awakening in Relationships: a Mini-Retreat

Thursday, April 14, 2022 @ 9:00am - 1:00pm (Pacific Time)

Curious about embodying awakened consciousness in everyday life? Then let’s explore our relationships. Because when we can show up with others unveiled and free, we find no end to the intimacy that is possible.

In this mini-retreat, we’ll identify the patterns we play out that create a sense of separation—from ourselves, others, and all of life. Together, we’ll untangle the distorted assumptions we hold about the world and learn to meet our tender emotions with loving acceptance.

Untying the knots that lie at the core of our relationship struggles brings freshness, ease, and space for new and authentic ways of being. We realize our shared humanness, which brings compassion for ourselves and others, melting into the one boundless heart beyond our personal selves. Gail Brenner is your guide on this journey. She is a clinical psychologist and lover of truth with a fire that burns brightly. She brings to this work years of experience with individuals and groups and is known for creating the sense of safety and trust needed for this deeper exploration.
