Join Jeannie to explore the idea and experience of true nature. \n\n\n\nJeannie’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.

This event is an invitation to dedicate a whole day to deepening into the stillness of being in a field of pure\, unconditional love alongside like-minded community. The day will consist of guided and silent meditations as well as Q&A sessions where you will have the opportunity to explore whatever arises for you in the moment. \n\n\n\nLouise will support you to rest your attention as the aware witness while consciously including and feeling the experience of the body as alive sensations. This practice\, which Louise calls ‘Embodied Awareness\,’ supports the direct recognition of one’s true nature through self-inquiry as well as the integration of unprocessed energies and emotions held in the body. When employed with consistency this practice allows one to live fully in presence in an integrated way and to become a vessel through which higher consciousness can flow more freely\, bringing joy to every aspect of life. \n\n\n\nYou will be supported to surrender fully into the now\, dis-identify from the conceptual self and open up to your true nature\, pure consciousness\, to discover an ever-present dimension of peace. \n\n\n\nWhatever emotions or sensations arise in the body will be met with unconditional love under Louise’s gentle guidance\, allowing for deep healing and transformation to take place on the level of form. \n\n\n\n*************** \n\n\n\nThe meeting will be from 10:30am to 4:30pm\, with a break for lunch. \n\n\n\nThere are a variety of places to eat out or pick up prepared food within a few blocks. You can also bring your own food\, though there is no kitchen or refrigerator access. People are welcome to eat outside on the lawn. No eating is allowed indoors at the venue. List of Nearby Solano Ave. Food PlacesParking is unrestricted on Los Angeles Avenue.

Founder of the Global Compassion Coalition\, Rick will guide us in carrying our wounds with love and exploring collective action in response to suffering. \n\n\n\nJust 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. \n\n\n\nFounder 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. \n\n\n\nThis session will include guided meditation\, practice\, talks\, conversation exploring compassionate engagement\, and plenty of time for questions and group participation. \n\n\n\nAbout The Engaged Nonduality seriesThis Engaged Nonduality series\, hosted by Lisa Ferguson\, explores how nondual wisdom may respond to our world in crisis. We live in a time of multiple intersecting crises that threaten the wellbeing of all life\, including climate breakdown\, unaligned tech and AI\, injustice\, war and authoritarianism. The recognition of nonduality has much to offer in these times\, including a deep knowing of our wholeness and shared Being\, as well as opening to the wellspring of our wise and creative response. This series invites guest presenters to explore how nondual teaching may respond to planetary crises through talks\, practices and group participation.
