Susanne Marie ~ Awakening to Connection: Why Belonging Matters (In-Person Event)
Please check your time! Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 am Nov. 2nd.
Set your clocks back 1 hour!
Join Susanne and community: At the heart of being human lies a deep longing to belong, to one another, to Spirit, to the Earth, and to ourselves. True wholeness arises when we honor both our inner autonomy and our connection to the greater web of life. Without a felt sense of belonging, we can become isolated, untethered, and alone........

Miranda Macpherson ~ Waking Up and Showing Up ~ Daylong Retreat, Bay Area & Livestream
In these immense times, we need the refuge that spiritual practice provides to nurture our access to the luminous love and clarity of our shared Being. Equally, we need the refuge of community to help us acknowledge all that we may be feeling – fear, anger, despair, hopelseness, and open to the presence that can transform them into responsiveness from our depth.
What does it take to abide in natural great peace, and come from love amidst such anxiety provoking times? What can help us find the restorative Grace we need to thrive, even in the face of heart-breaking news?..... LEARN MORE HERE

Adam Bauer & Friends Kirtan ~ Sacred Chant
In strange and turbulent times, we remember to breathe and seek connection and healing in the sacred vessel of community. Join Adam and friends in this heartfelt celebration of the natural devotional practice of gathering and singing mantra together.
A kirtan with sacred chant artist Adam Bauer is a deep immersion in bhakti—the yoga of devotion, a blissful union of hearts and voices carried on a current of music and love. With his warm baritone voice and sonorous harmonium accompaniment, Adam leads his chanting sessions with a gentle, grounded energy, guiding participants to profound levels of conscious awareness.
Adam Bauer travels the globe sharing the heart-expanding beauty of kirtan, healing touch, the I Ching, and transformational conversation. Adam spent years playing bass with kirtan pioneer Krishna Das, and later with Bhakti Yoga legend Shyamdas, both of whom nourished his love of sacred sound and the yoga of devotion. He has released three critically-acclaimed records.
Open to all, no experience necessary. Pre-Registration requited. LEARN MORE HERE

Co-hosted by Open Circle /strong>
About Divine Dialogues
Divine Dialogues are gently guided mystical conversations with magic at the core. The process is designed to bring us to a state of coherence and build our capacity to discover and express interconnected wisdom.
At the heart of each Dialogue is a single oracular prompt—revealed in the moment through Maja's Divine Dice. A profound idea then becomes the gravitational center of our inquiry and cultivates a unified field of exploration.
Limited to 12 participants. Register to save your seat..... LEARN MORE HERE

The emptier we are, the more we are filled with light. In this meeting we will investigate our willingness as well as our resistance to being no one and no-thing. When we see and feel through the emptiness of the separate self-construct, we discover the fullness of Being. Nothing essential is lost in this profound process of letting go and discovery, of death and rebirth......

Lynn Marie Lumiere ~ EMBODIED PRESENCE: Nondual Healing of our Human Wounding (In-Person Event)
Embodied Presence is pure and free of the hurt and pain that we carry in our human body-mind. At the same time, it is not separate from our human experience and is fully allowing it all. It is through aligning with this unconditional allowing that we are healed and embodied. Awakened presence makes it possible for us to meet our long-held emotional pain without resistance and thereby free it, which leads to physical, emotional and psychological healing as well as a more deeply embodied presence. This is how healing and awakening come together as a nondual process. When we make them separate, or spiritually bypass our wounding, we cannot fully heal........ LEARN MORE HERE
