Past Events

This event will explore how we heal our body-mind through the experience of embodied awakening. When we bring awake awareness to our physical, emotional, and mental issues, and allow them to rest in that presence, a healing takes place in a way that is not possible otherwise.

A direct experience of this will be facilitated through guided meditation and shared presence. Lynn Marie will also offer her therapeutic experience and skills as needed.

It is best to attend this event live in order to benefit more personally. However, you are welcome to register and attend through the recording.

In this two hour event we will open with a mediation, explore a dyad, and have time for exchanges with Chesaray and Julian. Dyads are an exceptional way to deepen in the felt sense of presence, relationally heal, and explore one's growing edge.

Our personality is a collection of conditioning we received largely from our relating with other human beings and that conditioning informs our experience. Working with others in a dyad is a direct way to see the conditioning, meet it with heart, and let it go. Done with care, sincerity, and presence, the space between two people, can become a vehicle for healing and awakening.

The power of co-inquiry can bring aliveness into our everyday relating, develop our capacity to co-regulate, and shift how we view ourselves.

Chesaray offers courses, sessions, and retreats based in non-duality, embodied awakening, and the healing arts. Chesaray's search for “What is Real?” began as early as she can remember. Life has always been her greatest teacher. Experiences as a teen drove her into an unavoidable contemplation of grief, God, and death. Her university studies in Philosophy of Mind and Buddhism led her to study abroad in India, where she set her heart on embodying freedom. She was gifted with a non-dual awakening at 22 with Jon Bernie that lifted a tremendous amount of unconscious suffering from her shoulders, and has since experienced the fire of that opening guiding her life. Exploration of the psyche, soul, and soma has led her into ongoing training and practice in meditation, conscious movement, bodywork, psycho-therapeutic modalities and a devotion to learning from life experience. She descended into a dark night of the Soul for many years and she is left with an abiding experience of the heart of Being and a gift of healing Grace.

Julian's strength of presence deepens and amplifies people's direct connection with their True Nature. He carries a gentleness, delicacy and precision for integrating all aspects of our humanity in the process of awakening. His intuitive capacity supports people in finding the root of what challenges them most and encourages a steady awakening to reality. Julian has a background in practicing with multiple spiritual masters, as well as training in men’s work, group work, energetic bodywork, and post traumatic growth somatic therapy. He brings a holistic approach to helping people heal, rest into their True Nature and embody who they really are.

Dear Woman,
You are wide-open and eternally free space filled with potentiality and love. That is it! Very simple. Your beautiful female body rests and is held within that silent-space. Your body is strong, lush and precious - like a flower. Beauty! We need to care for that beauty so that the light that we are shines brightly. It takes silence, deep listening and tender hands to open the petals of your flower one by one.

During this satsang, we enter sacred space together. We begin in silence and are nourished by our precious nature, our home ground, which I call the Great Her. This is our foundation .... our soil, the source of our vitality. Through meditation, sharing, and gentle movement, we allow ourselves to be fully touched by the all of you - your physicality, psychology, felt sense, emotions, thinking and being. Then, in surrender we enter the mystery. We are taken by deliciousness, power and aliveness. There is an utter welcoming of all of you - your humanity and your divinity. The perfect soil for Woman Flowering!
Come and join this adventure!

Special Note from Marlies:
'For my women events, I work best with cisgender women. Working with transgender women is outside my area of expertise. I have a colleague who is well experienced in this field that I am happy to refer transgender women to.' - Marlies

Join Jeannie and friends to navigate the terrain of meeting challenging human states and how to stay present.

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.
