Pamela Wilson ~ Love, Listening Within and Self Care for the Modern Sage ~ 4 Part Online Retreat
* February 9, 12, 16 & 19, 2026 *. When we include ourself, our embodiment, in this Love, everything is strengthened! Our resilience, clarity, natural joy, creativity and generosity are enhanced.

And of course, primarily focusing on the needs of others and not including our Being's love of silence, space and retreat time. And most importantly, to gift our minds with a return to spacious balanced healthy functioning.......

As the moon renews herself, so do we. If we attend to it, each month the new moon marks a natural quieting in the body, making it a fantastic time to turn away from distraction and re-focus on inner well-being. Join us to empty and renew ourselves in a field of Love, fire and precision near the Mahashivratri new moon. We will meet the newness arising within and around us, and reap the magnificence of its call with fresh eyes and big heart. Join Ishita to come to center — grounded in your body, fueled by Grace. 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.

Join us for any or all in this series of in-person events in Berkeley & Sebastopol * Thursday Feb. 19 - Berkeley (7:00pm - 8:45pm) * Friday Feb. 20 - Berkeley (7:00pm - 8:45pm) * Saturday Feb. 21 - Berkeley, Daylong (10:30am - 4:30pm) * Sunday Feb. 22 - Sebastopol, CA - (2:00pm - 4:00pm) *** In the midst of an overloaded mind and constant striving, it’s easy to lose touch with the quiet wisdom of the heart. “Yes to Life” offers a sacred space to pause — to rest, reflect, and rediscover the peace that’s already within you. Guided by Lisa’s compassionate presence, you’ll gently release the need to be more or do more—and begin to see beyond the fears and self-doubt that cloud the mind, awakening to the truth of who we really are. For 30 years, Lisa has been a devoted student of her teacher Gangaji. With many years of guiding others, Lisa offers a rare and grounded presence, inviting everyone she meets directly into their own loving heart. Being with her in Satsang feels like coming home, you are welcome just as you are into the quiet recognition of what is already whole and free.
