Jim Newman ~ SIMPLY THIS
These meetings share the simple message that what is truly longed for is already "what is". This obvious simplicity is overlooked by a personal sense of separation that "what is" is missing something, and a conviction that something needs to happen. This sense of a personal reality can be recognized as a need for more experience or knowledge. The hope is that enough of the right experience or knowledge will lead to fulfillment or endless happiness. In the meetings this sense of a personal reality and the need for becoming as necessary is exposed as unnecessary and illusory. In his early twenties, Jim experienced an awakening that completely upended his search within the realm of what could be known. Not understanding what had happened, he turned to those who claimed to know: spiritual teachers and gurus. But it didn't work. The practices and explanations didn't resonate. Then he encountered a radical message: one that stated, without compromise, that there is no one. Upon truly hearing this, the dream and the dreamer dissolved. Never having happened.
And yet, all of this being said: there is no path to what is.

Lynn Marie Lumiere, MFT, SEP ~ NONDUAL TRAUMA HEALING ~ A Deep Dive Retreat into Embodied Presence
We have all been touched to by trauma to some degree. Trauma can be defined as any experience that takes us out of our window of tolerance and leaves us with high levels of stress in our nervous system. It has also been defined as the inability to be present in the here and now because we get stuck in the past, or in overwhelm. Therefore, healing trauma is an integral part of our nondual awakening and embodiment process.
Our nondual nature includes not only the essence of who we are, a loving presence, but also all manifestations of our wounding and trauma in our body-mind. When all of who we are is met in/as our essential nature, there is no more division and we are whole, empowered and healed. We become embodied presence.........
