Silent Group Meditation (Free, No Guidance)
Mondays: 8:00am – 8:30am Pacific Time
Wednesdays : 9:00am – 9:30am Pacific Time
Ongoing every week, with rare exceptions. Check Full Calendar to verify dates.
Join for a group meditation – just us, without a teacher. Do your own practice silently in the company of others. There will be no talk or guidance – only a bell to start and finish. Let’s be present, together.
After half an hour of silent sitting, there will be space for a brief hello in the end, if we like.
Please be seated by the time meditation starts, so that we can begin together. You are welcome to have your camera and microphone on (unless you have a lot of background noise), so that we can feel as if we were in one space.
The zoom link remains the same for all the sessions, so you are welcome to register only once and save the link for future reference.

Jeremy Lent & Lisa Ferguson ~ The Inner and Outer Dimensions of an Ecological Civilization
The Inner and Outer Dimensions
of an Ecological Civilization
with Jeremy Lent and Lisa Ferguson
Part of the Engaged Nonduality Series
This event builds on the release of Jeremy Lent’s book, Ecocivilization: Making a World That Works for All, which envisions a world system that sets the conditions for all to flourish on a regenerated earth. Jeremy and Lisa will explore this vision from the depth of nondual understanding.
If the root of our Metacrisis is separation, then the nondual recognition of non-separation is essential to responding skillfully. This is the deeper basis for any lasting systemic change that may occur.
If you are feeling despair about our world, one of the core tenets of Ecocilivation is that there is an alternative. One not of empty hope, but of grounded possibility. One that welcomes our engagement, unique gifts and contributions....... LEARN MORE HERE

Dorothy Hunt ~ Chasing the Absolute, Returning to Love the Relative ~ Half-Day Retreat
Tasting the Absolute, experiencing spirit, reading or hearing teachings from spiritual masters, many seekers of truth develop ideas and illusions that Awakening means judging, denying, or by-passing the challenges, messiness, feelings, thoughts, and beauty of our human expressions. They chase an identity called “the Absolute” or being a “someone” always “resting as Awareness.” There IS a Source, but this awake Mystery claims no identity. The truth of who/what we already are cannot be gained by our effort or lost in our forgetfulness..... LEARN MORE HERE

Louise Kay ~ Embodied Awareness
If you bring your attention fully present into the now and inquire with a genuine, open curiosity into the truth of this moment, what is discovered is that underlying all experiences lies an invisible, potent presence. This presence is often referred to as stillness, being, consciousness or awareness and is the eternal, formless essence of who you are. All else appears in and is perceived by this awareness
The recognition of this truth through direct experiential knowing is a divine blessing and is followed by a sacred process of integration, which takes place on the level of body and mind. .....

John J. Prendergast, Ph.D. ~ “Being Absolutely No One and No Thing” (In-Person)
When we know that we are no thing, we are free to be as we are – both as spacious, loving awareness and as unique, individuated being.

John Prendergast ~ Opening Up, Lining Up, and Lighting Up: The Subtle Somatic Dimension of Self-Recognition ~ 6-Part Online Series
In this six week course, through talks, meditation, inquiries, sensing, and experiential conversations, we will explore the role of the subtle body in the process of self-recognition or awakening.
While the knowing of our true nature as open, lucid, loving awareness can emerge spontaneously unmediated by any sensation, feeling or thought, often our body responds on a subtle level by opening up, lining up, and lighting up. Since the body is a dynamic expression of our fundamental nature, it also opens as our true nature flowers. The more we are attuned with our body, the more easily we can sense this......
