A meeting with Lisa is an opportunity to step away from your day to day life and devote time for inquiry into the source of who you are. There will be a few moments of silence to start the meeting and then Lisa will speak and invite you to share about your realizations and ask questions about awakening.

About Lisa Schumacher

Lisa grew up in Colusa, CA, and attended college at San Luis Obispo in the 1980Õs. After she moved to Southern Oregon in the early 90s, a friend invited her to a video satsang with Gangaji. Upon hearing Gangaji say ÒBe your Natural SelfÓ, LisaÕs heart caught on fire and she fell into a deep bow of surrender. That meeting revealed to her the absolute simplicity of the natural, living truth of Love, inseparable from who one is. Lisa moved to Bolinas in 1999 to be closer to Gangaji and the vibrant community around her.

In 2006, Lisa was asked by Gangaji to meet with people and share her discovery of the Love that is alive in the core of oneÕs being . She holds meetings in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America. SheÕs also a long-time student of Eli Jaxon-Bear, GangajiÕs husband, and a founding teacher of the ÒLeela School of AwakeningÓ. Lisa is the author of ÒThe Stone I LoveÓ, a book of poetry inspired by her meeting with Gangaji, available on her website.

In LisaÕs meetings, she invites you to rest in stillness. Your discoveries and questions about awakening, deepening, and the unfolding truth are welcome. The teaching is in the tradition of Gangaji, who is a student of Papaji, who had his awakening at the feet of Ramana Maharshi.
