Join Marlies and friends in these series of four online satsangs and bring the realization of the stillness that you are into your living reality.
These times demand a strong presence and ruthless tenderness if we are to care for the world as love right now. The silence of love is our only Refuge. Are you ready to rest as the I of the storm?

During these satsangs, Marlies guides us in meditation and gives dharma talks. You are invited to share so please bring your experience, presence and questions. You will receive great support as we weather the down pouring of division and bewilderment that these times have brought upon us.

Marlies has devoted her life to the Beloved. She brings a potent invitation into the deep Silence that we are. She helps people to see that freedom and peace lie not in escaping from difficulties, but rather in completely welcoming and receiving all that the Mystery presents.
She has been offering satsang and retreat since 2000 when Adyashanti asked her to teach. Marlies is interviewed in the book Awakened Relating: A Guide To Embodying Undivided love in Intimate Relationships by Lynn Marie Lumiere, and in the book Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom by R.M. Robinson

Stressful times are often our greatest opportunities for deeper healing in the body-mind and deeper awakening to our true nature, which is always calm no matter what is happening in our inner or outer world.

We are living in rapidly changing times that carry a lot of uncertainty. This can activate earlier trauma in our life and make it difficult to navigate these challenges.

In these ongoing meetings, Lynn Marie offers support for body, mind and spirit through somatic practices, psychological processes, guided meditations and group sharing, so you can know you are not alone in your experience and receive individual support, if needed.

Lynn Marie Lumiere, MFT is a nondual psychotherapist who offers knowledge and wisdom gained from over 30 years of experience as a therapist as well as with nondual teachings. She is the author of Awakened Relating: A Guide to Embodying Undivided Love in Intimate Relationships and The Awakening West: Evidence of a Spreading Enlightenment.

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. He 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.

During this series of workshops with Tilicho, we inquire about our Real Nature and bring awareness and healing to the traumas and mind patterns preventing us from really being ourselves: from opening to the present moment as it is.

This session focuses on the second chakra: Desires, Sexuality, Money and Death.

You are invited to dive deep within, and from a place of Self-recognition, let all causes of suffering emerge to the surface, in a safe atmosphere of love, compassion and understanding.

This workshop is part of a monthly series, where we explore ourselves chakra by chakra. You are welcome to attend the whole series, or join individual workshops, even if you have not attended the previous ones.

Tilicho spontaneously realized the Self in 1998 without following any teaching or practice. The absence of spiritual conditioning allowed her to see through the veils of spiritual idealism and illusions. While recognizing the beauty of the Advaita teachings, she also observed that they can easily be misunderstood and distorted. Although the Self is eternally free from the world, it is not separate from it. Her teaching is an invitation to find unity within and without.

Any grove of trees roots and finds support for itself through linking underground with other members. They share nourishment and silent support, as we do when we gather together. Nourishment and renewal take many forms: rest, silence, and communing with like-hearted friends. What if such sustenance is the nutriment we need now: relaxing into the spacious strength that holds us; feeling held and cherished as Life and Pure Being? Then we return refreshed to support our families and community.

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. Featured in the book Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom, Pamela is at her best in heart-felt dialogue, so please bring your questions!

Are you still taken over by conditioned patterns—even after all the work you’ve already done?  Do you long to heal your sense of separation from yourself and from the sacredness of all of Life?

The truth of who we are is so incredibly close. But when we’re clouded by inner judgments and fixed ideas about ourselves, it seems like it’s a million miles away.
We’re hidden behind the veils of conditioning that seem so real.

Finally, we realize that we can’t go it alone. We need to practice together—in a supportive and loving community—to find our way home. And that’s what we create when we join together. You are welcome as you are—with your fears, doubts, shame, and questions.

Gail Brenner, Ph.D. is your guide. She is a psychologist, author, speaker, and lover of truth with a fire that burns brightly. She is an expert in healing from early trauma and brings to this work years of experience with individuals and groups. She is known for creating the safe space needed for inner exploration. Gail is the author of the award-winning The End of Self-Help and Suffering Is Optional.

What is meant by being here but not of here? What supports are available for us to develop a clarity-filled, heartful grounded way of navigating life's challenges? How do we unplug from the opinions of those around us and root deeply in our own sovereign clarity? How do we give our lives to our highest sense of truth no matter what? Join Jeannie and friends to explore this most basic aspect of the embodiment of freedom.

Jeannie’s gift for inviting people to join her in resting and rooted presence evokes a deep meeting with oneself and reality. Within that, Jeannie’s humor and iconoclasm serve to bring people into an understanding that is beyond the intellectual. Through silent and guided meditation, spontaneous talks and exchange with participants, Jeannie will host a space of clarity and warmth where the richness of relating can be explored safely and your innermost questions met fully. Come join us!

Join Marlies and friends for an online satsang and bring the realization of the stillness that you are into your living reality. You will receive great support as we weather the down pouring of division and bewilderment that these times have brought upon us. Discrimination destroys unity. When we cling to our beliefs or our mind awakening is far away and thus heaven and earth are set apart.

These times demand a strong presence and ruthless tenderness if we are to care for the world as love right now. The silence of love is our only Refuge. Are you ready to rest as your nature?

Marlies brings a potent invitation into the deep Silence that we are. She helps people to see that freedom and peace lie not in escaping from difficulties, but rather in completely welcoming and receiving all that the Mystery presents.
