Join Jeannie to explore the authentic impulse to gratitude that rises in the full heart, as well as how gratitude can be used gently to open to the blessing of being alive.

Jeannie’s gift for inviting people to join her in resting and rooted presence evokes a deep meeting with oneself and reality. Within that, Jeannie’s humor and iconoclasm serve to bring people into an understanding that is beyond the intellectual. Through silent and guided meditation, spontaneous talks and exchange with participants, Jeannie will host a space of clarity and warmth where the richness of relating can be explored safely and your innermost questions met fully.

Jeannie Zandi is the director of Living as Love, a nonprofit organization dedicated to seeding a culture of the Heart on the planet, inspiring, teaching and supporting people to live from their essence as Love. A year before the birth of her daughter, Jeannie was plunged into a dark night of the soul that culminated in a radical shift of consciousness. She is known for her fearless clarity, tender mercy toward humanness, and a juicy, poetic and often humorous style that draws from Advaita Vedanta, Sufism, Christian mysticism and the ongoing revelation of fully engaged living.

Whether you are starting to meditate or already have a meditation practice, this bi-monthly meditation with Marlies will help you drop deeper into connection with yourself, setting the tone for the day in an embodied way.

Your body is a refined sense organ.
It is a portal into the beautiful Silent Presence that you are.
Let’s sit together … abide as You … for All

Meditation is the art of inner exploration. It’s an opportunity to slow down and receive all of life exactly as it is. Using your body as a portal into your Yourself, we will explore how to connect with and abide as your true essence underneath all the daily busy-ness.

You may have noticed that often the mind does not settle easily. In fact, in quietude, all the things you have been trying to avoid often come bubbling up to the surface. It’s not a problem. They simply want to be met with that gentle, fierce and spacious awareness which is what you truly are.

The more we learn to rest as our underlying silent nature, no matter what arises within us, the easier it becomes to keep our seat when the winds of life pull us back and forth.

Come set the tone for the day and be close with yourself in an embodied way.

Marlies Myoku Cocheret was invited to teach the Dharma by Adyashanti in 2000. She teaches meditation, retreats, and works as a Hakomi therapist and psychologist. She brings a potent invitation into the deep silence that you are, and guides you into embodied connection with your humanity and divine nature.

We regret that due to unforeseen
circumstances we had to cancel this event.

The holiday season can bring more challenges such as being with family or being with an absence of family. In being with these, and all challenges, the key to peace and healing is to STOP, be still, and feel our discomfort without avoiding or engaging it. This is what releases and transforms our pain and fixed identifications. It also allows us to listen to the silent voice of wisdom within. We can discover that, no matter what is arising, it is not wrong. It is just what is, and inner support and guidance is always available.

The intention of this retreat is to help you deepen in your ability to be present with what is and to free up the fixations which block that. Lynn Marie will offer assistance with the somatic, emotional and psychological issues that are interfering with your capacity to be present. We all have the capacity to do this because our deeper nature is already and always present with all our experience, no matter how big the challenge!

You are encouraged to attend the 3-hour sessions for this retreat live so you can benefit from sharing your experience and processing with Lynn Marie. However, you are also welcome to attend at your convenience by listening to the recording.
