What if coming home to yourself isn't about becoming someone better, but discovering how to be more fully here—in your body, your heart, your relationships, and your life?
Even when we recognize something profoundly true about our nature, familiar patterns of protection can continue to shape how we feel, relate, and respond to life.

On the path of awakening, we will find ourselves at the edge of everything familiar. As the ground of identity and certainty begins to shift, we may encounter fear or exhilaration, and quite often, the unsettling sense that we don’t know what comes next.
Our habitual response is to turn away, seek solid ground, or push ourselves toward some imagined breakthrough. But what if we don’t have to retreat or leap? What if we can simply remain? Every time we cultivate the capacity to be with our experience, even in the most ordinary moments, we deepen our capacity to meet the extraordinary......

Coming Home to Yourself
Freedom and Fulfillment in This Human Life
An Experiential, In-Person Day with Lisa Schumacher & Ajaya Sommers

We may awaken to ourselves as vast, timeless, peaceful, and untouched, only to discover that the human being is still... human. Hurt, irritated, confused, tired, reactive, and occasionally spectacularly unreasonable. Spirituality can leave us with the "should" that if we were doing it right, much of this would have disappeared by now.
In this two-hour gathering, we’ll explore the difference between freedom from identification with our humanness and freedom from humanness itself..... LEARN MORE HERE

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......
