Embody and live your freedom. Learn to use Heart Fluency’s highly accessible non-dual method as the basis of a meditation practice to experience and consolidate your ordinary awakened nature as your default orientation to life. This seven-hour retreat includes sitting and walking meditation, as well as straightforward teachings that will enable you to feel through your direct embodied and mental experience to the liberated, healing nature of pure awareness. As we deepen through the day we feel how awareness can heal our deepest wounds. This is a transformative, yet simple and affirming day of wondrous presence. Heart Fluency combines neuroscience and the unconditional nourishment of pure awareness in a highly accessible, heart-centered approach.

For more than 40 years Bruce Pardoe has been navigating and facilitating the path of inner healing and non-dual wisdom. Bruce’s journey healing his own complex trauma led him to develop the radically gentle Heart Fluency® method for engaging emotional wounds and afflictive patterns as portals to directly embodying non-dual well-being and happiness.

Awakened Relating offers the deepest, most lasting solution to relationship struggles. It addresses both awakening to the presence of pure love, and the healing of our relational wounding, which is the source of most relationship struggles. The deepest healing is found in any relationship that consciously includes our source nature, as well as psychological and somatic healing, which will be discussed in this webinar. Awakened Relating takes the exploration of spirituality and relationship to the next level and guides us into embodying our loving nature in real-life relationship challenges such as conflict, communication issues, negative self-beliefs and projections, intimacy issues, and being with relational wounding and trauma.

This introductory webinar is in preparation for the daylong workshop on Awakened Relating that Lynn Marie will be presenting on February 26^th, 9:00 – 3:00.

Join Adam for Falling Open Together and invite more intimacy with the deeper movement of life through us and between us.

Described by Pamela Wilson as “a great messenger of truth with a unique transmission that does wonderful things for my spirit,” Adam invites us to share the direct experience of the heart and mind falling open. In this effortless opening, the suffering involved in resisting feelings and believing our thoughts spontaneously releases. This allows our natural abundance of joy, peace, wisdom and love to become apparent and available. Heart-centered and direct, Adam offers a path straight into the truth of who you are. Adam Chacksfield offers retreats worldwide exploring the depths that reveal that reveal themselves as we become more intimate with our embodied experience and the vibrantly alive field of relating. He also offers private sessions online and in the San Francisco Bay Area.

During this regular monthly satsang, Marlies gently guides us to rest in the silence of our being, our secret, sacred sanctuary. The more we rest as the silence that we are, the more this silence permeates our lives and the rest of the world.

As we fall into the arms of our true nature, sometimes that which is not silent may start to arise, such as trauma, pain, confusion, pleasure, etc. These are received and acknowledged in this space. With the assistance of Marlies’ presence as an anchor, your Being stands out as the only thing there really is … which is You!

Marlies Myoku Cocheret has devoted her life to the Beloved. She 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.

This daylong workshop will go deeply into Awakened Relating, which takes the exploration of spirituality and relationship to the next level and guides you into embodying your loving nature in real-life relationship challenges such as conflict, communication issues, negative self-beliefs and projections, intimacy issues, and being with relational wounding and trauma.

Awakened Relating addresses both awakening to the presence of pure love, and the healing of our relational wounding, which is the source of most relationship struggles. The deepest healing is found in any relationship that consciously includes our source nature, as well as psychological and somatic healing.

Lynn Marie Lumiere, MFT is a nondual psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and author. She offers knowledge and wisdom gained from over 30 years of experience as a therapist as well as with nondual teachings.

Life’s love animates and sustains everything; its stillness, wisdom and love pulse in all forms and functions. Finding this benevolent heart within us and within all the interior movements is relaxing. Nothing is only what it appears to be!

The mind, body and emotions can live as awareness does, free, wise and rooted. Same, same! One by one habits, misunderstandings, misidentification and aversions present themselves for inner satsang. Met with respect and kindness, they self-liberate, revealing the ancient heart that beats as resounding Silence and Love.

Join with Pamela and your fellow sages in being curious and listening within!

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.

Most contemplative traditions, east or west, tend to focus on awakening the mind and heart. However, they often minimize or entirely ignore the belly (or hara) which includes our felt sense of the ground. As a result 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.

In our shared journey, we will explore the different dimensions of the ground – egoic, soul/archetypal, and Self (no self) – and our resistance to more fully opening to the ground of Being. We will also learn how to welcome our resistance from Presence and to rest in and as our deepest Ground. This brings a profound sense of inner stability, self-trust, autonomy, and connection with a fundamental life current. It also provides a foundational safety for sustaining an open heart and clear mind.
