Gail Brenner ~ Deep Healing of Trauma-Based Patterns: Tending the Fertile Ground for Awakened Living ~ 4-Part Online Course
Do you still get taken over by conditioned patterns—even after all the work you’ve done? Do you long to heal your sense of separation from your divine nature? We hear about freedom as a possibility—or we’ve had a taste of our true nature—but somehow these patterns continue in our minds, emotions, relationships, and choices in life.
Gail Brenner, Ph.D. is our guide on this 4-part course as we create a safe and supportive healing community to do the deeper work that unfolds on the path of awakening. Gail is a psychologist, author, and teacher with a devotion to the nondual teaching and embodied conscious living.
