Lynn Marie Lumiere, MFT ~ Finding Balance in a World out of Balance

Sunday, March 30, 2025 @ 10:00-12:00pm (Pacific Time)

We are now subject to ever-increasing amounts of stress in the world we live in. The number of issues we are facing globally and the fast pace in which these issues are increasing can overwhelm our current ability to stay in balance. In addition, we have whatever stresses there are in our personal lives.

This webinar offers somatic support for staying regulated as well as spiritual inspiration and guidance for remaining awake in the midst of it all. When our somatic system is regulated, we can be more present and have more capacity to rest in our deeper nature. Both being regulated and in touch with our being will help us through even the most challenging times...... (click titleg for more info & registration).....

Stephan Bodian ~ Waking Up Through the Metacrisis: Finding Deeper Ground in Challenging Times

Saturday, April 5, 2025 @ 9:00am-10:30am (Pacific Time)

The Buddha said it succinctly 2500 years ago: human existence is, and always has been, marked by constant change and uncertainty. Yet we find ourselves in uniquely challenging and uncertain times: overpopulation, mass extinctions, extreme weather, environmental tipping points, political upheaval, nuclear proliferation, demographic instability and widespread migrations, and the advent of technologies that challenge and distort our understanding of what’s real and true.

Please join me for one or more satsangs in this monthly series (Jan-May) that include meditations for returning to and resting in our deeper ground while welcoming and working with the feelings that these challenging times evoke. There will also be a brief talk and plenty of time for sharing and discussion.....

Stephan Bodian ~ Waking Up Through the Metacrisis: Finding Deeper Ground in Challenging Times

Saturday, April 5, 2025 @ 9:00am-10:30am (Pacific Time)

The Buddha said it succinctly 2500 years ago: human existence has been, marked by constant change and uncertainty. Yet we find ourselves today in uniquely challenging and uncertain times. Perhaps our civilization is on the verge of collapse, with the unprecedented prospect that the future of human life on Earth may be threatened as well.

We can always seek refuge in the simplicity and innate perfection of right now. But how do we find peace in a deeper ground while acknowledging and welcoming our fear, outrage, or grief?

Stephan Bodian studied for many years with Advaita master Jean Klein and received Dharma transmission from Adyashanti in 2001.

Jeannie Zandi ~ Alive in the Machine: Living Outside the Matrix

Sunday, April 6, 2025 @ 10:00am-12:00noon (Pacific Time)

When awakening dismantles your ability to play by the old rules...

One of the most disorienting aspects of genuine awakening is when you can no longer participate in consensus reality the way you once did. The familiar ground of shared assumptions and social strategies that once provided a sense of belonging falls away and you are left moving independently of it or suffering to the extent that you keep participating.

In this powerful exploration, Jeannie will guide participants through this challenging territory with compassion, clarity, and a healthy dose of irreverence.....

Jeannie is a non-dual spiritual teacher and guide for embodied awakening. Her work invites students to embrace every aspect of experience. Rather than transcending life, she calls us to root in it, maturing into authentic expressions of love, serving the whole with wisdom and heart.

Engaged Nonduality ~ With David Loy and Lisa Ferguson

Sunday, April 13, 2025 @ 9:00am-11:00am (Pacific Time)

Engaged Nonduality:
Nondual Values in Action

with With David Loy and Lisa Ferguson

Recording will be emailed to participants within a week.
You’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend the live session.

"Compassion arises and manifests itself naturally when we have overcome our sense of separation from the world.” David Loy, Nonduality: In Buddhism and Beyond

Join Lisa and David Loy, leading advocate in connecting spirituality with engagement, for an exploration of nondual values in action, and practical responses to our planetary crises from the perspective of non-separation. We’ll explore how our world situation mirrors that of our own personal misconception of separation, and how the wisest response to our planetary crisis is to address separation on both of these levels. David will introduce us to the Bodhisattva path as a nonsectarian archetype that offers a new vision of the relationship between spiritual unfolding and social engagement, and orient toward our true “home,” which spontaneously expresses itself in skillful action.....
