Lynn Marie Lumiere ~ Empowered Embodiment: Nondual Healing of our Human Wounding
Awakening to an infinite source of Love does not in itself resolve all our human wounding and trauma. It is through embodying that Love that we become empowered to bring about true change and healing in all dimensions of our life. This occurs as we meet our pain, hurt, and wounding in/as awakened Presence, undivided. It is that simple. Yet, our body-mind often needs skilled support to build a capacity for allowing that simple, yet powerful, nondual healing to manifest. This 4-part series offers an experiential exploration of Empowered Embodiment, which brings about nondual healing and awakening on four dimensions of human experience: somatic, emotional, mental and spiritual. Lynn Marie Lumiere's work offers a rare integration of depth psychotherapy, somatic trauma healing, and embodied spiritual awakening.

Ramana Maharshi has been a light shining in the darkness for countless seekers of Truth. In this silent retreat day honoring his life and teachings, we will also consider ways that his method of Self-Inquiry has been misunderstood, and ways in which some seekers make “Silence” an object rather than realizing its continual presence in everyday life. Included in this day will be video clips of his life and darshan. Dorothy Hunt is the spiritual director of Moon Mountain Sangha, and a teacher in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti. Dorothy has a long and deep connection with the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and offers this day to any who are interested in coming to sit in silence and listen with the Heart.
Saturday, April 25, 2026 @ 10:00am-4:30pm (Pacific Time) at Community Congregational Church of TiburonMiranda Macpherson & Lisa Ferguson ~ Engaged Nonduality: Power, Abuse and Spiritual Bypassing
We are in a moment of cultural reckoning about abuse and power. The Epstein files reveal the way power and abuse, misogyny and racism, have been part of the underlying structure of our society. Nondual teachings could be used to avoid these topics, or to retreat from taking action. However, they also have great potential to inform how we can skillfully interrupt harm and foster cultural change that benefits us all. In this event we’ll invite us to come into a healthy relationship with power and accountability as an expression of nondual compassion. Miranda Macpherson is a contemporary spiritual teacher who has been guiding others into direct experience of the sacred for over thirty years. 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. Lisa Ferguson, Ph.D., integrates awakening, healing, and action in her work on Engaged Nonduality. She founded Climate Compassion to support the inner and outer work of responding to our planetary crises with wise action and a compassionate heart.
Sunday, April 26, 2026 @ 9:00am-11:00am (Pacific Time) at Online Video Meeting (phone access also available)Beth Miller ~ VULNERABILITY – A SUPERPOWER (In-Person)
Together, let’s dive into what we know in our essence, that what we are in the truest sense is an inside job – an inward surrendering of anything and everything that is in the way of knowing, living, being and expressing our true nature of loving being-ness. A courageous surrendering . . .a trusting vulnerability. Often, we humans, shy away from vulnerability. We have been taught it is weak, unattractive, and needy, but, as counter-intuitive as it appears, being vulnerable . . . naked in the sun . . . is holding hands with the Divine. Beth Miller is a spiritual teacher, psychotherapist, and author who weaves psychological depth with direct spiritual inquiry into presence, love and wholeness. Beth studied and followed Adyashanti, David Hawkins, Mooji and Jan Frazier, with whom she had a profound opening into oneness and the immensity of love.
