Join Susanne and community in an afternoon of relaxing into our True Nature. The focus will be on drinking from the well of Source and taking our hands off the steering wheel, and instead lean back into the natural state of being which is easily overlooked and veiled. Resting in presence is a vital part of the spiritual path, and it supports you in gaining trust in the safety of letting go, facilitating growth in abiding awakening.

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

John Prendergast ~ “Seeing through False Ground” ~ Bay Area Daylong Retreat (In Person & Livestream)

Saturday, May 24, 2025 @ 11:00am - 5:30pm, IN-PERSON & LIVESTREAM
Private country home & LIVESTREAM Fairfax, CA United States

Almost all of us unknowingly stand (or have stood) upon a highly conditioned, self-constructed ground that we mis-take as being solid and real. As we become more honest and intimate with our experience, this constructed ground begins to give way revealing a breath-taking openness – a groundless ground – that is our true nature.

In this daylong retreat, we will welcome this false ground into Presence via silent and guided meditation, talks, dyadic meditative inquiry, and experiential conversations.

John Prendergast is a spiritual teacher, and retired psychotherapist and Professor of Psychology, well-known for his pioneering work in integrating non-dual wisdom and psychotherapy. He studied with the European sage Jean Klein for many years, as well as with Adyashanti, who gave him dharma transmission in 2023. He is the author of several books, including his latest, Your Deepest Ground: A Guide to Embodied Spirituality.

Ishita Sharma ~ Embodiment Lab – Experiments in Embodying Presence: Relationships

Sunday, May 25, 2025 @ 9:00am - 10:30am (Pacific Time)

Join us for Embodiment Lab, an experiential exploration of the body as a doorway to presence and aliveness, returning to the ground of being through our own direct experience. Together we will examine what embodied presence makes possible in relationships, and how we can use the crucible of intimate relationships to deepen as/into unity. We will use the fullness of our experience to tune and attune to our bodies, illuminating our deepest healing and freedom. Engaging and transcending our senses, awareness, breath, movement and sound and more, we will use our body’s signals to return to sensate presence.

Lynn Marie Lumiere ~ Finding Balance in a World out of Balance

Saturday, May 31, 2025 @ 10:00-12:00pm (Pacific Time)

We are now subject to ever-increasing amounts of stress in the world we live in. The number of issues we are facing globally and the fast pace in which these issues are increasing can overwhelm our current ability to stay in balance.

Lynn Marie will offer somatic support for staying regulated as well as spiritual inspiration and guidance for remaining awake in these stressful times. When our somatic system is regulated, we can be more present and have more capacity and resilience. Both being regulated and in touch with our deeper nature will help us through even the most challenging times.

Lynn Marie has decades of experience helping people with awakening and embodiment on all levels. She will offer her skills as a somatically trained non-dual psychotherapist to support you with experiential exercises as well as inspired talks and group discussion.

Stephan Bodian ~ Wake Up Now: A Weekend Journey Through the Heart of Awakening

Saturday, June 7, 2025 @ & June 8, 2025 ~ 9:00am - 12:00pm (Pacific Time), Weekend Retreat includes June 7 & 8

Awakenings come in many shapes and sizes and are as diverse as the people who experience them. Yet they tend to follow a similar trajectory, from the initial recognition that you’re not who you thought you were to the full realization of your boundless non-dual spiritual nature beyond the mind. Along the way, you may have a range of different experiences and insights that offer motivation and inspiration and deepen and expand your understanding.

In this weekend mini-retreat, you’ll discover that awakening is not a noun, but a verb, not a state but an endless unfolding into the Mystery of what is.

Stephan Bodian is a teacher in the non-dual wisdom tradition of Zen, Dzogchen, and Advaita Vedanta. Stephan studied for many years with Advaita master Jean Klein and received Dharma transmission from Adyashanti in 2001.

Susanne Marie ~ The Wisdom of No Escape

Saturday, June 14, 2025 @ 9:00am-10:30am (Pacific Time)

Most of us are initially drawn to spirituality with the understandable desire to feel better and to be released from suffering. Often, however, our desire to escape suffering creates its own bondage. The desire itself plays into the belief that something needs to be done about what we are feeling, replacing it with bliss or peace, or whatever we imagine freedom to be.

The truth of reality, however, is that by wishing something away, we are setting ourselves up to be at odds with an aspect of ourselves. Rather than trying to escape unwanted feelings, we might consider building bridges to deeper understanding, where true freedom awaits.

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

Shakti Caterina Maggi ~ Healing the Inner Split: Bridging the Gap between Mind and Heart ~ 2-part series

Saturday, June 21, 2025 @ 9:00am-10:30am (Pacific Time) - 2-part Series, June 21 & 28

In a time marked by increasing division — between cultures, communities, families, and even within ourselves — the need for a deeper understanding of conflict has never been more urgent.

This two-part online seminar with Shakti Caterina Maggi invites us to look beyond the surface of conflict and into the deeper structures of separation that shape our experience of the world.
We will explore how the inner split — between mind and Heart, Self and other, ego and Presence — expresses itself not only in our personal suffering, but also in the conflicts that fracture human relationships and collective life.
Shakti Caterina Maggi is a spiritual guide, meditation teacher and author widely recognized as one of the most authentic and profound voices of contemporary spirituality. Combining the vision of Advaita and non-dual Tantra with a contemporary approach, Shakti offers with humanity, compassion and great clarity an inner technology to dissolve that contraction of suffering that accompanies our lives, and access a space of peace and unconditional love towards life.

Jeannie Zandi ~ Living Clear: Digesting the Past Rather than Operating from It

Sunday, June 22, 2025 @ 10:00am-12:00noon (Pacific Time)

Join Jeannie for this transformative exploration of how to recognize delusion, meet what drives it, and clear up your vision of yourself and the world.i
