Online with Jeannie Zandi

Jeannie explores the theme of “Being” as silent noticing awareness, the field behind all of our doing and all thought, feeling, and sensation -- which can be inhabited, right here, right now.

Jeannie invites participants to rest into embodied sanctuary and Beingness. She discusses our awareness as often missed but always here, as silent empty noticing presence. She points to “I am," and invites us to notice all else -- such as thoughts, feelings, sensations -- which she points to as the “and it is like this.”
