Sarah Taylor ~ The Heart of Awakening (In-Person)

The heart holds a doorway that can help us to embody truth, know the deeper intimacy of non-separation, and open into a clarity that is felt as much as it is seen. What the traditions call divine love is not merely a feeling that arises in awakening. It is the welcoming aliveness of our very nature. In this gathering, Sarah Taylor explores the heart as fulcrum: the place where insight can be found, deepened, and lived; where loving awareness, brought openly to what is here, completes something that clear seeing alone leaves unfinished. Sarah is an awakening trail guide, intuitive energy healer, and mystic whose work explores awakening, embodiment, and the fullness of being. As a former stand-up comedian, she brings warmth, relatability, and a touch of irreverence to the spiritual path.
Sunday, June 28, 2026 @ 3:00pm-5:00pm (Pacific Time) at Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian UniversalistsPamela Wilson ~ The Magic in the Heart Liberates Our Inherent Worth ~ 4 Part Online Retreat

We have been trained to suppress our wisdom, strength and love. And yet, we long to give our gifts, to return to the fullness of presence and the constancy of peace! There is only one idea in the way, the idea that self-respect is not okay, and that self-pride is ugly. When naturalness or presence honors itself, there is a healthy pride, unlike when the deficient sense of self puffs itself up from inferiority to superiority. As we rise and root into being, the depressant habit of making ourselves small returns us to some form of human balance. Pamela Wilson has been a messenger for Truth and Heart wisdom for over 30 years. She evokes through dialogue, inquiry and her very presence the qualities of unconditional love and radical acceptance. She is celebrated for her ability to open the heart and create a space in which long-cherished struggles and notions about one’s identity relax
