Lisa Schumacher ~ Yes to Life – Resting in the Heart of Being (In-Person)
Bay Area Event Series
Join us for any or all in this series of In-Person events in Berkeley....
Feb. 19 & 20 (7:00pm - 8:45pm) & Feb. 21 Daylong (10:30am - 4:30pm)
“Yes to Life” offers a sacred space to pause — to rest, reflect, and rediscover the peace that’s already within you. Guided by Lisa’s compassionate presence, you’ll gently release the need to be more or do more—and begin to see beyond the fears and self-doubt that cloud the mind, awakening to the truth of who we really are.
This retreat is an opening — a return to love, stillness, and the simple joy of saying yes to life as it is... “Satsang” means “in the company of Truth” – it describes a meeting where we gather together to uncover our True Nature...... LEARN MORE HERE

Georgia Simone ~ Weaving Coherence: A Journey into Relational Presence ~ 4 Part Online Series
February 25, March 4, 11, 18, 2026
Weaving Coherence is a 4-week experiential series designed to bring the depth of embodied presence into the living, breathing field of relationship.
~ What happens when we’re truly present to ourselves and each other?
~ What happens when we open to what’s here within us and between us?
~ What happens when we express what’s true and alive for us in the moment?
The result is a living, relational field where healing and awakening meet — a space to explore the nature of connection with ourselves, with each other, and with the subtle intelligence that emerges when we slow down together........ LEARN MORE HERE

Weaving Coherence is a * 4-week experiential series * designed to bring the depth of embodied presence into the living, breathing field of relationship.
This series is for those who sense that healing and awakening don’t only happen in isolation, but also in relationship — when we slow down enough to feel, to listen, and to let ourselves be met. Through this, a profound sense of community and support naturally arises, allowing old relational patterns to soften and new ways of being to emerge.
This work is highly experiential, inviting interpersonal vulnerability and present-moment truth, which may evoke challenging material. Therefore, this series is best suited for those who have the inner resources to meet whatever may arise.
Georgia Simone is a wisdom keeper, trauma guide, and facilitator who works with individuals and groups. She specializes in supporting people to heal relational and developmental trauma so they can ground their awakening in embodied connection, authentic expression, and relational presence.

Our hearts want to participate, to protect, to contribute. And yet, we may feel slowed down by resistance, confusion, fear of harm or lethargy. While we don't want to move from division, we also don't want to sit passively by while things we care about are harmed.
