Sunday, November 8, 2026 @ 12:00pm-2:00pm (Pacific Time) at Online Video Meeting (phone access also available)Ishita Sharma ~ The Spiritual Ego and Walking in Joy
Spiritual bypassing is inevitable and often invisible. The spiritual ego is often one of the subtlest mechanisms of obscuration on the path to awakening. As our sense of self expands, our ideas of that expansion can themselves become veils to it. Let's explore the metaphysics of that innocence and ignorance, and find a sweeter, softer way to relate within and without. Ishita Sharma serves as a spiritual teacher, healing mirror, embodiment partner, and Core Energetics Practitioner of body-based psychotherapy. Teaching Universal principles of healing and mysticism, she is devoted to supporting healing and awakening in all those committed to living a bright and connected life, sharing their gifts for the good of the Whole.
Saturday, November 14, 2026 @ 10:00am - 11:30am (Pacific Time) at Online Video Meeting (phone access also available)Mikael Hedman ~ Working Directly with Consciousness (In-Person)
A shift in consciousness can change your entire relationship with what is already here. You may find freedom where you once felt confined, or a directness of experience that the effort to understand have kept just out of reach. Visiting from Sweden, Mikael Hedman offers an evening devoted to helping you experience this for yourself. His work draws on an intimate knowledge of consciousness and a precise sensitivity to where your attention becomes caught. The emphasis is on direct experience and integration: recognizing a shift for yourself, learning to sustain it, and allowing it to inform how you live. Mikael Hedman is a former military officer whose work arises from a profound and enduring shift in consciousness in 2015. He combines an unwavering clarity of consciousness with a warm interest in you as a person. At the heart of his work is a simple willingness to meet you where you are. He helps you approach what you habitually turn away from, and discover what becomes possible when you can finally meet yourself there. Note that Open Circle also has an online event with Mikael on Sunday, November 15th.

Together, we will embrace all that we grapple with personally and collectively as fuel that ultimately can serve to propel us further on the path of awakening.

Unapologetically feminine, joyful and down to earth, Miranda invites others to become more graceful human beings, embodying creative, peaceful and wise action that serves our human family.
Saturday, November 21, 2026 @ 9:30am-5:00pm (Pacific Time) at First Presbyterian Church of San RafaelJeannie Zandi ~ Selfish, Selfless & Self-Full
We learn from spirituality, as well as our spiritual conditioning, that to be fully spiritual is to be selfless—but what does that mean? Many of us learned that caring for ourselves is selfish and caring for others is good. How do we care deeply for ourselves without becoming self-absorbed, and truly and freely give generously from an open heart? We’ll explore the territory between selfishness and selflessness, and the possibility of becoming self-full: deeply inhabiting and caring for the human being we’ve been given without making ourselves the center of the universe. We’ll look at how tending ourselves well can become the ground from which genuine generosity, love, and service naturally arise. Jeannie Zandi is a nondual spiritual teacher and guide for embodied awakening, known for her fierce tenderness, irreverent wisdom, and unwavering presence. She creates powerful spaces for transformation, where truth is met in the raw, and awakening moves beyond concept into lived reality.
