Stephen D’Amico ~ Designed to Awake: An Enlightenment Intensive ~ 3 Part Online Series
Your physical form is not an obstacle to transcendence. It is exquisitely engineered for it. Join us for a transformative weekend retreat exploring the profound theme that our bodies are built for enlightenment.
During this immersive gathering, you will learn three specialized yogic eye movements designed to ground your nervous system, deepen inward stillness, and expand your awareness into the vast, unconditioned field of consciousness.
Alongside these subtle visual techniques, we will engage in contemplative inquiry to shift our identity from ego to essence, and explore how to integrate our true nature into everyday life...... LEARN MORE HERE

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. Through silent and guided meditations, a talk, meditative inquiry, and experiential conversations in community, we will explore seeing and feeling through who we have mis-taken our self to be and discovering what remains.
John Prendergast, Ph.D is a spiritual teacher, retired psychotherapist, and retired Adjunct Professor of Psychology at CIIS, well known for his pioneering work in integrating non-dual wisdom and psychotherapy...... LEARN MORE HERE

Coming Home to Yourself
Freedom and Fulfillment in This Human Life
An Experiential, In-Person Day with Lisa Schumacher & Ajaya Sommers
What if the fulfillment you long for is not something you need to find or become, but something you can discover in the depths of your own being, within this very body and this very life?
Together, Lisa Schumacher and Ajaya Sommers invite you into an exploration of what becomes possible when awareness meets your lived experience with openness, attunement, and care. Through Lisa’s skill and guidance in direct inquiry and safe sacred space, and Ajaya’s facilitation of Continuum—a somatic practice of breath, sound, movement, and touch—we will explore together how the recognition of your true nature can permeate your embodied experience.......

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......
