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

Jeannie Zandi ~ Beloved Community: Living Presence through Togetherness
What is community, and why does it matter on the spiritual path? In this call, Jeannie will explore the many faces of community—spiritual, social, and inner—as both a ground for healing, a sangha for practice, and a living metaphor for oneness. We’ll reflect on how community can support our embodiment of presence, invite us into deeper unity, and serve as an experimental ground where love becomes lived reality.
Jeannie Zandi is a nondual spiritual teacher and guide for embodied awakening, inviting students to fully inhabit their human lives with presence, clarity, and love..... LEARN MORE HERE

Ryan Burton ~ “I Want to Get Back There” – The Most Common Post-Awakening Trap
A practitioner will have many openings and experiences over the course of their spiritual or contemplative endeavor. There is a common and important stage in awakening I call the 'foreground-background split' which occurs after someone has had an opening whether induced or spontaneous.
It can leave us with intense wanting and the question of “how can I get back there?” The challenge of the meditator in this stage is to not mistake the bliss, clarity and unity which characterized the opening as being the awakening itself. Abandoning what was previously attained is an act of surrender that helps us see the true nature of the present.....

Truly Natural Compassionate Engagement ~ An Engaged Nonduality Event with Rick Hanson, John Prendergast and Lisa Ferguson
Truly Natural Compassionate Engagement
An Engaged Nonduality Event with Rick Hanson,
hosted by John Prendergast and Lisa Ferguson
With guest Rick Hanson, we’ll explore recognizing our true nature not just as awareness, but as compassionate humans who are deeply collaborative and cooperative. Founder of the Global Compassion Coalition, Rick will guide us in carrying our wounds with love and exploring collective action in response to suffering.
Just as nondual teachings point to our already awake nature, we don’t have to make an effort to be compassionate, but can unleash our natural compassionate engagement. Just as nondual practice is surrendering to our true nature, we can also surrender to our innate goodness: our impulse to connect with others and engage in an effective response to suffering.
Founder of the Global Compassion Coalition, renowned author on contemplative practices and neuroscience, Rick brings a depth of spiritual understanding and wealth of insight about using the power of compassion to accelerate effective collective action while also maintaining our resilience. We’ll explore how we can come together and open to our creative, empowered response to our troubled world.......
