SUMMARY:Riyaz Motan ~ Transforming Difficult Experiences and Emotions With Unconditional Presence
DESCRIPTION:In this event nondual psychotherapist and teacher\, Riyaz Motan\, will describe\, demonstrate\, and guide participants through a powerful method of engaging with and transforming our difficult experiences and emotions.Ê He will show us how to engage with our suffering through a 4-step process that utilizes the healing power of unconditional presence.Ê This process of tending to our direct experience runs counter to the usual cognitive\, emotional\, and somatic ways that most of us are conditioned to respond to our pain and suffering. \nIn this simple practice\, we can begin to truly listen to our direct experience without trying to manipulate\, change\, analyze or resist it. We will learn to tend to our difficulties from an open\, affectionate\, curious\, and creative space of presence. And\, in this patient and unconditional embrace our difficult experiences will begin to unfold and reveal themselves just as a closed flower opens and blossoms in the warmth and radiance of the sun. ÊAs we practice this method\, we come to see and trust that the direction of our unfoldment reliably arcs towards wholeness\, where our human experience is reclaimed and restored and we come into a more full and authentic expression of ourselves. \nThis method also opens us to: \n~ the subtle intuitive and creative capacities within us \n~ a deeper trust of our direct experience \n~ the innate wisdom of the body. \n~ healing and understanding the intergenerational/ancestral dimensions of our suffering. \nThis event is ideal for spiritually oriented people who are interested in fully embodying their wholeness. It is especially relevant for spiritual practitioners who are wanting a reliable and effective way to not bypass the sticky\, painful aspects of human life.  \nThis event can also be very helpful for people in the healing professions as this approach can be powerfully utilized when working with others.  \nRiyaz has been a practicing psychotherapist in the Bay Area for the past 25 years. From the beginning his passion has been on the integration of Eastern wisdom traditions with Western psychology.  His two main teachers\, John Prendergast and Adyashanti have deeply influenced his work and his spiritual life. He now increasingly feels called to support people in embodying their whole selves — their humanity and their divinity.  \nriyazmotan.com \nSliding Scale: $25 to $45 \nSome Partial Scholarships Available \nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week. \nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter

SUMMARY:Lisa Schumacher ~ Your True Nature ~ In-Person Local Event
DESCRIPTION:A meeting with Lisa is an opportunity to step away from your day to day life and devote time for self-inquiry into the heart of the truth. There will be a few moments of silence to start the meeting and then Lisa will speak and invite the community to share reports about their lives and questions.  \nLisa Schumacher:  Lisa grew up in Colusa\, CA\, and attended college at San Luis Obispo in the 1980’s.  After she moved to Southern Oregon in the early 90s\, a friend invited her to a video satsang with Gangaji.  Upon hearing Gangaji say “Be your Natural Self”\, Lisa’s 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 Satsang.  She has held meetings in Europe\, Australia\, New Zealand and North America.  She’s also a long-time student of Eli Jaxon-Bear\, Gangaji’s husband\, and a founding teacher of the Eli’s “Leela School of Awakening”.  Lisa is the author of “The Stone I Love”\, a book of poetry inspired by Gangaji\, available on her website and for purchase at the gathering. \nIn Lisa’s meetings\, she invites you to sit close and inquire about your awakening\, your spiritual questions\, and the unfolding truth.  The teaching is in the tradition of Gangaji\, who is a student of Papaji\, who had his awakening at the feet of Ramana Maharshi. \nLisa’s website: satsangwithlisa.org \nSuggested Donation:  $15- $25\, no one turned away. \nNo pre-registration. Pay at door when you arrive. \nIf you have symptoms of a viral infection\, or have had a recent  \nCovid exposure or positive test\, please stay home out of consideration for others.

SUMMARY:Ellen Emmet ~ The Shrine of Not Knowing
DESCRIPTION:We start at 9:00 am Pacific Time / 5:00 pm UK time / 6:00 pm Central European Time. \nTime Zone Converter \nEvent will be recorded and emailed to participants after the meeting. \nIn RumiÕs field\, Ôbeyond ideas of wrong doing of right doingÕ\, prior to concepts and convictions\, (however luminous and spiritual)\, the Tantric Kashmir approach invites us to listen to our felt experience without any aims or objectives. Here we simply recognize the geography of separation\, taste the contour of our limits\, see the positions of security\, the lines of physical and psychological defences expressed in our convictions and mirrored in the tension held in our body. \nThis listening becomes a burning altar to which thoughts and resistances are offered as they arise. Tactile sensitivity gently blossoms. Emotions unfold fully as lifeÕs waves\, delivering their energetic message whilst burning away the agendas and leaving the body awash with sensitivity and availability. \nWatch Ellen share about the role the body plays in her work: \nhttps://opencircle.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/230602-Ellen-Emmet-Interview-Clip-1.mp4\nAbout Ellen: \nEllenÕs deepest intuition was confirmed when she met her teacher in the non-dual tradition\, Francis Lucille. Hearing his words\, she recognised the eternal\, limitless and universal nature of our shared reality. Over the years\, this understanding has continued to unfold and to touch all levels of experience. \nAt the very same time\, Ellen has never ceased to delve into the depths of her human experience\, seen and unseen\, thirsting for a wholeness and connectedness which appeared to be lost or obscured. This unstoppable quest brought her to therapy\, Jungian workshops (and later Jungian analysis)\, Dream Work\, Authentic Movement and creative writing. \nMore and more\, she senses that each of our lives is a journey of revelation and integration\, including its darker crossings\, through which the face of truth can shine uniquely and anew\, wedding us to our direct experience and connecting us to the great family of creation. \nTo find out more about Ellen and her offering\, visit www.ellenemmet.com \nSliding Scale: $25 to $45 \nSome Partial Scholarships Available \nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Marlies Myoku Cocheret ~ A Day of Silence\, Movement and Connection ~ In-Person Daylong in Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:https://opencircle.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Marlies-Interview-for-May-14-clip-1.mp4\nWatch Marlies’ invitation to a Day of Silence\, Movement and Connection \n  \nA wave of awakening is washing over the earth. This is no coincidence. It is the dire nature of our circumstances that guides us to walk the narrow path because truly there is no alternative. The most authentic and deepest revolution is an inside job. \nYes\, Mother-Lover-Earth is hurting. Humanity and the animal kingdom are hurting. In the face of this bleak picture\, it is natural to want to do something. But what? \nFirst we must ask\, what is the root of this human chaos that is destroying not only Mother Earth but also our connection with our True Nature? \nWhen we take our thought patterns about ourselves and the world to be real\, and struggle against this false reality\, we create suffering and chaos ensues. It doesnÕt work. So what can we do? \nWe can join the Silent Revolution and go inward\, slow down\, be still and listen. \nIt is in this way that we can hear our bodyÕs language and find our way back through our precious form as a portal to wholeness\, radiance and YOU! \nTogether we can learn to rest as silence and meet our humanity compassionately with all its struggle\, resistance and beauty. Then True Reality\, spacious Silent Being\, appears which is You! Live as that. Through strong bonds of connection and affection we create a powerful field which washes over the entire Earth and helps all to awaken. In this way\, we can get through anything. \nThis is what is needed\, and the time is NOW! \nCome and join the wave of silence waking up to Herself everywhere. \nCome and join the Silent Revolution! \nhttps://opencircle.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Marlies-Interview-for-May-14-clip-2.mp4\nWatch the 2nd part of the invitation to a Day of Silence\, Movement and Connection \n  \nMarlies Myoku Cocheret has devoted her life to the Beloved. She brings a potent invitation into the deep Silence that we are. The kindness of her gentle and direct teaching guides us home like a lighthouse. Marlies has been offering satsang and retreat since 2000 when Adyashanti asked her to teach. \nMarlies is interviewed in the book Awakened Relating. A Guide To Embodying Undivided Love in Intimate Relationships by Lynn Marie Lumiere\, and in the book Ordinary Women\, Extraordinary Wisdom by R.M. Robinson. \nÒWith Adya\, the bottom fell out. I deeply knew I am not this body\, mind\, thought\, psyche\, and I am also all these things as well. There was no in and/or out. All is One.Ó \nwww.marliescocheret.com \nSliding Scale: $60 to $120 \nREGISTER \nPre-Register here or… \nPay at Door when you arrive. \nPre-registration online closed at 12 noon\, Saturday May 13th (the day before event) \nNo one turned away for lack of funds. \nLunch Break: There are places close by to go out for lunch\, or you may bring your own lunch\, though there is no refrigerator access.

SUMMARY:Chesaray & Julian ~ The Alchemy of Connection: Exploring the Transformative Power of Dyads
DESCRIPTION:Dear Europeans\, please note that due to the clocks changing in the US on Sun\, March 12\, but not yet in Europe\, the time difference is 1 hour less than usual. Therefore this event starts at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 4pm UK / 5pm CET. \nIn 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. \nOur 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. \nThe power of co-inquiry can bring aliveness into our everyday relating\, develop our capacity to co-regulate\, and shift how we view ourselves. \nFor more information about other Dyad offerings visit www.chesaray.org/co-led-retreats \nChesaray offers courses\, sessions\, and retreats based in non-duality\, embodied awakening\, and the healing arts. Chesaray’s search for ÒWhat is Real?Ó 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. \nJulian’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 menÕs 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. \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25 \nNo one turned away for lack of funds. \nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week. \nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter

SUMMARY:Stephan Bodian ~ Meditation without a Meditator: From Deliberate Awareness to Nondual Presence ~ 2-Part Online Retreat
DESCRIPTION:March 4 & 5\, 2023 \n9:00 am Ð 12:00 pm\, Pacific Time \nTime Zone Converter \nEvent will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting. \nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions. \nMany seekers who shift from progressive approaches like deliberate mindfulness to a more direct approach continue to search for the right meditative strategy\, the sweet spot that allows them to let go of their efforting and drop into their natural state of nondual presence. But paradoxically itÕs this very strategizing that needs to drop away as presence reveals itself to be the nature of reality\, the deeper ground beyond a separate self\, not something that you can strategize into being. You canÕt do itÑyou can only join the nondual presence thatÕs always already taking place. \nSo how exactly can you position your awareness to fall into nondual presence? In this two-day mini-retreat youÕll learn how to take the backward step to illuminate the deeper ground of Being as your true nature or true Self beyond all division. Once that deeper identity has been revealed\, you no longer have to search for what is already so blatantly obvious. You merely need to be it. \nThe retreat will feature self-inquiry\, direct pointers to the nature of reality\, and a series of guided meditations that lead you through the stages of awakening to nondual presence. In nondual presence life unfolds effortlessly\, without an illusory someone in charge of the unfolding\, as an expression of the exquisite intelligence at the heart of the Mystery. Absolute and relative dimensions of BeingÑuniversal and individual\, trans/impersonal and personal\, one and manyÑdissolve into a single\, vibrant\, multidimensional\, perfectly imperfect current of love and manifestation. Just This!  \nBio \nStephan Bodian is a teacher in the nondual wisdom tradition of Zen\, Dzogchen\, and Advaita Vedanta. He’s been offering the School for Awakening\, an annual multi-month intensive program in spiritual unfolding and awakened living\, since 2007. As a licensed psychotherapist\, he brings a deep understanding of the impact of trauma and early conditioning on the process of spiritual realization and offers individual counseling and a five-session mentoring intensive in psychospiritual integration. Stephan studied for many years with Advaita master Jean Klein and received Dharma transmission from Adyashanti in 2001.

SUMMARY:Chesaray ~ Awakening to Ground
DESCRIPTION:Grounding is the most important foundation for blossoming on the spiritual path. Without grounding one can feel overwhelmed\, exhausted\, scattered and unable to enjoy the fruits of spiritual realization. In this class\, we will bring ground to the various awakenings and energetic openings that can happen on the path through guided meditation\, somatic inquiry\, and exchanges.  \nChesaray offers retreats\, courses\, and classes focused on grounding the magic of spiritual realization into daily life. Chesaray is a gifted healer that is filled with down-to-earth wisdom and loving presence. She invites us to slow down and turn towards our direct experience to discover what we are. For over 15 years she has studied and practiced ancient spiritual traditions\, somatic psychology\, conscious movement\, holistic health\, and bodywork. Because she faced tremendous difficulties that eventually opened her into the experience of Divine love\, she has a gift for meeting people where they’re at and supporting their awakening.  \nwww.chesaray.org \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25 \nNo one turned away for lack of funds. \nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week. \nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter

SUMMARY:Lynn Marie Lumiere\, MFT ~ EMBRACE ALL OF WHO YOU ARE: Healing Core Shame ~ Weekend Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A 2-Part Weekend Retreat \nAugust 12 & 13\, 2023 \n9:00 am Ð 12:00 pm Pacific Time\, each day \nTime Zone Converter \nRecording will be emailed to participants after each meeting. \nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions. \nIf you ever experience yourself as not good enough\, bad\, unlovable\, unworthy\, or powerless\, you are experiencing core shame. You are not alone. Shame is in all of us to some degree. \nIt is a case of mistaken identity when we identify with a conditioned part of ourselves rather than with the Wholeness of who we are in both our humanness and Source Nature. This\, along with negative conditioning\, creates core shame\, which is a significant obstacle to health\, happiness\, healthy relationships\, and success. It affects every aspect of our life. \nTo truly heal core shame\, we need to remember who we really areÑa vast being of pure love. Then it is possible\, along with therapeutic assistance and support\, to meet and resolve the negative programming and wounding that creates a negative sense of self. As these false identities fall away\, we embody more self-love. \nThis weekend event will offer a deep immersion into this issue so that you can begin to understand and directly experience being free of core shame. Lynn Marie brings extensive experience\, both personally and professionally\, with both spiritual awakening and healing our body-mind. She will offer insight and skills on freeing yourself from shame on all levelsÑsomatically\, mentally and spiritually. \nWatch Lynn Marie’s Invitation: \nhttps://opencircle.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/230717V-Lynn-Marie-Lumiere-Interview-with-Shiraya-1-Invitation.mp4\n  \nParticipant feedback: ÒWith Lynn Marie\, I get in an embodied way that my human experience is workable. I greatly appreciate her unique way of including and working with the human nervous system\, conditioning and relationship as the very path of ever-evolving spiritual awakening. For me\, she is naturally and powerfully transmitting a unique energy that is lovingly embracing simultaneously the finite and the Infinite\, the human and the Divine.Ó – H.C. \n  \nHonoring the courage in you! Watch to find out more: \nhttps://opencircle.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/230717V-Lynn-Marie-Lumiere-Interview-with-Shiraya-3-Honoring-Courage.mp4\n  \nLynn Marie LumiereÊis a seasoned psychotherapist\, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner\, and author.

SUMMARY:Georgia Simone ~ Awakened Healing: Become The Space Where Healing Takes Place
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to The Holding Space. \nA space where we can gather together and BE exactly as we are \nA space where the full spectrum of your human experience is invited \nCalm\, anxious\, open\, closed\, \nALL is welcome here. \nIt’s in this gentle embrace that everything can start to unravel. It’s in this open space that we can begin to unwind the strategies that no longer serve us. This is the space that early mis-attunement failed to foster\, the space where love blooms and new life can emerge. This is the space where all that quivers and shakes can come to rest\, and where all that contorts can untwist into greater alignment. \nThrough gentle exploration and somatic awareness you can cultivate a new way of being with your most challenging patterns. No longer a victim of the push and pull of inner disturbance\, you can step forward with greater confidence\, knowing that whatever comes your way\, you embody the resilience and the capacity to meet and integrate it. \nYou can expect a deeply held space where youÕll be invited to slow down\, tune in\, and track your present-moment experience. As you awaken and refine a more subtle way of Being and Being With\, you can slowly but surely become the space Ð the container and the field Ð where healing takes place. \nBio: \nThe first leg of Georgia SimoneÕs path exposed her to the teachings of Advaita Vedanta\, which provided her with the foundation she needed to disidentify from pain and suffering. However\, despite a growing freedom\, a significant bypass took place\, as herÊorientation towards transcendence reinforced her deep disconnection from Life. Upon seeing this\, her focus became addressing the unresolved trauma that had woven its way into every fibre of her being. \nDuring this period\, Georgia was influenced byÊInner Relationship Focusing\, a presence based approach that works with the Felt Sense and the split-off parts of self. She also trained as a NARM informed practitioner\, which addresses developmental trauma from a psychotherapeutic perspective. Her approach is now a seamless blend of mystical insight and psychological understanding. \nAfter many years of wading through this marshland of conditioning\, she shares her discoveries with others. She believes that the spiritual path is as much about arriving here fully Ð as an embodied human being Ð as it is about dissolving into the infinite source that makes this life possible. How can we die to the absolute\, while deeply embracing our relative human experience? This Living Inquiry is her LifeÕs prayer. \nwww.georgiasimone.com \nSuggested donation: $15 to $40 \nNo one turned away for lack of funds. \nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week. \nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter

And this recognition changes everything. \nWe no longer believe the fear-based\, limited ideas we hold about ourselves and the world\, and we open to everything\, flowing with things as they are. Rather than needing to fix and control\, we get out of our heads and rest effortlessly as the Being that we are\, loving whatever appears. \nThis knowing radically transforms our relationships with others\, how we relate to ourselves when weÕre triggered\, and how we meet the challenges that arise in the course of human life.

YouÕll experience more space for the natural arising of intimacy\, generosity\, inspiration\, and delight. \nÒThis course has changed my life. Gail is able to transform through her presence and I think anyone open to healing would benefit.Ó  ~ Erica C. \nSession 1: How We Show Up for Ourselves and for Life \nWeÕll name and explore essential qualities of awakened awareness: openness\, curiosity\, humility\, compassion\, and devotion.
