Event will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting.

You’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions.

The calendar might tell us that a new year is approaching, but in truth, there is only this moment, now, free and uncaused, completely fresh and new, emerging from and infused with love. In any moment, we can turn away from our minds to recognize wonder, delight, mystery, and inspiration.

Come and join this two-day retreat as we explore the potential of living the freedom that we are in our everyday lives.

¥ How do you discover this freedom?

¥ What about the fear-based mind that wants to control life?

¥ How can you show up as love in your relationships?

¥ What about challenging emotions and the frustrations of daily life?

You are wholeheartedly welcome just as you are as we share intimate, loving space in community. Together weÕll explore the practical reality of awakened living in your own direct experience. Our time together will include guided meditation, words of ancient masters, self-reflective exercises, small group conversation, and plenty of time for Q&A.

We will investigate the myth of the separate self, the power of the thinking mind to divert us, and the possibility of living the moments of your human life with awareness, freedom, acceptance, and love.

Please feel free to contact Gail with any questions about the program at gail@gailbrenner.com.

I just cannot express to you how transformative your approach has been for me.Ó ~Sandra Joseph, Broadway star and author of Unmasking What Matters
