After half an hour of silent sitting, there will be space for a brief hello in the end, if we like.

Join us for Embodiment Lab, an experiential exploration of the body as a doorway to presence and aliveness, returning to the ground of being through our own direct experience.
We will use the fullness of our experience to tune and attune to our bodies, illuminating our deepest healing and freedom. Engaging and transcending our senses, awareness, breath, movement and sound and more, we will use our body’s signals to return to sensate presence.
Ishita Sharma serves as a spiritual teacher, healing mirror, embodiment partner, and Core Energetics Practitioner of body-based psychotherapy. She is devoted to supporting healing and awakening in all those committed to living a bright and connected life.

Christine Tulis, harpist, singer and healing artist, and Judith Shiner, PhD., poet and spiritual mentor, invite you to join us for a sacred gathering of song, poetry, silence and dialogue, as, with tender hearts, we welcome this time of new beginnings and honor the divine intelligence animating our being. Through the rich gifts of mystical poetry delicately layered with sublime harp music, we move from our mind into our heart and rest in the deep knowing of our soul’s wisdom. Weaving periods of contemplation and dialogue with poetry and music, we create a powerful love field in which divine guidance is welcomed.
Christine is a healing arts practitioner offering deeply restorative sessions and sound healing experiences rooted in the trust in our innate capacity to heal, and Judith is a creative visionary, often on the forefront of creating new programs that focus on self-awareness and living from what is true, using the power of presence to reveal the subconscious parts of the false self so they can be transformed by awareness

Truly Natural Compassionate Engagement
An Engaged Nonduality Event with Rick Hanson,
hosted by John Prendergast and Lisa Ferguson
With guest Rick Hanson, we’ll explore recognizing our true nature not just as awareness, but as compassionate humans who are deeply collaborative and cooperative. Founder of the Global Compassion Coalition, Rick will guide us in carrying our wounds with love and exploring collective action in response to suffering.
Just as nondual teachings point to our already awake nature, we don’t have to make an effort to be compassionate, but can unleash our natural compassionate engagement. Just as nondual practice is surrendering to our true nature, we can also surrender to our innate goodness: our impulse to connect with others and engage in an effective response to suffering.
Founder of the Global Compassion Coalition, renowned author on contemplative practices and neuroscience, Rick brings a depth of spiritual understanding and wealth of insight about using the power of compassion to accelerate effective collective action while also maintaining our resilience. We’ll explore how we can come together and open to our creative, empowered response to our troubled world.......
