Earth and Sky: The Dance of Being Human

In-person Weekend Retreat | January 18-19, 2025 | Sausalito, CA

True freedom isn't found in transcending our humanity – it blossoms in the sacred marriage of heaven and earth right here in our bones. When consciousness fully embraces matter, when spirit dances all the way down into flesh, something extraordinary happens: our lives become an expression of who we are: divine light dancing through human experience.

Join spiritual teacher Jeannie Zandi for a weekend of inspiration, exploration, and revelation as we dive into the heart of what it means to be fully, radically human. Through meditation, dialogue, experiential exercises, and Jeannie's signature blend of profound wisdom and irreverent humor, we'll discover how to end the war with experience and let the entirety of our being become a portal for love's expression.

In this intimate retreat, we will:

  • Experience how freedom blooms when we stop trying to transcend our humanity

  • Learn to trust the body's natural wisdom as consciousness embraces matter

  • Feel what happens when we let spirit pour all the way down into flesh

  • Share in the aliveness, joy and playfulness that flows when we gather in authentic presence

This retreat is for you if you're ready to:

  • Move beyond spiritual bypassing into full-bodied awakening

  • Trade the war with our experience for radical embrace

  • Let every aspect of your human journey become shot through with light

  • Live from the place where heaven and earth unite

  • Join with others in discovering what living love really means
