Jeannie Zandi ~ I Am. Becoming Your Own Authority
Beyond seeking outside validation lies unspeakable freedom.
Many of us have been conditioned since childhood to look outside ourselves for direction and approval. We've learned to doubt our own perceptions and override our body's wisdom in favor of external authority.

Susanne Marie ~ Ease into Awakening (In-Person Event)
Join Susanne and community in an afternoon of relaxing into our True Nature. The focus will be on drinking from the well of Source and taking our hands off the steering wheel, and instead lean back into the natural state of being which is easily overlooked and veiled.

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.

John Prendergast ~ “Seeing through False Ground” ~ Bay Area Daylong Retreat
Description: Almost all of us unknowingly stand (or have stood) upon a highly conditioned, self-constructed ground that we mis-take as being solid and real. As we become more honest and intimate with our experience, this constructed ground, much like the foundations of a house, begins to give way revealing a breath-taking openness – a groundless ground – that is our true nature.
In this daylong retreat, we will welcome this false ground into Presence via silent and guided meditation, talks, dyadic meditative inquiry, and experiential conversations.....
