Ishita Sharma ~ The Feminine Mystical Path – Homecoming (women only)
The feminine and masculine paths illuminate and engage different aspects of energy, attention and anatomy in remembering Wholeness. A man's body and a woman's body are designed differently, and that has ramifications on the maturation of our mystical paths. Popular wisdom traditions are skewed by a primarily masculine lens. In this event just for women, we will explore what embodiment beyond awakening entails uniquely for our feminine incarnations, learning from and honoring the female mystics who have walked before us, while mining the gold hidden in our own unique blueprints. Ishita Sharma 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.

We live in a world that celebrates doing. We measure our days by what we accomplished, and even our spiritual life can become another project, another attempt to improve ourselves or to get somewhere in particular. But what if we've gotten the order backwards? What if doing was never meant to define who we are, but to arise naturally from who we are? In this gathering, we'll explore the relationship between being and doing, and how much of our striving comes from forgetting the ground of our own Being. We'll look at what becomes possible when we rest more deeply in the simple fact of our existence. Jeannie Zandi is 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.

What does it mean to surrender to love? Is it possible to do so and live in the world? These are some of the questions that arise in the desire to awaken. Love is the medicine and the essential teacher that reveals the living truth, freeing us from the burden of unnecessary suffering. Together we will inquire into what it is that we believe is in the way of loving or being loved. We will discover the truth about who we are and what our essential desire is for our life, and we will open to the living truth of what does not come and go, and the possibility to realize that it is your essential nature. Lisa Schumacher has been a devoted student of her beloved teacher Gangaji, who, in 2005, invited her to begin sharing Satsang. Lisa's approach is rooted in direct self-inquiry, stillness, and the intimate discovery of truth of who you are. She offers a rare and grounded presence, inviting everyone she meets directly into their own loving heart and the quiet recognition of what is already whole and free.
