Satsang is a Sanskrit word that means to associate and be in the company of true people.

These gatherings are a unique opportunity to meet what is. An increasing necessity in our times of fast change. Together we find the Stillness that is always present, beyond our individual and collective activations, reactions and conditioning.

Visual methods are used, to aid in the seeing and untangling.

BENEFITS OF SATSANG:

  • Greater Access to Stillness, Presence and Being;
  • More Comfort With Duality, Paradox and Complexity;
  • Deeper Understanding and Compassion for Conditioning and Trauma;
  • Less Triggering, Reactivity and Repetition Wounds;
  • Increased Ability to Regulate Self and Others;
  • Greater Clarity and Decisiveness in Making Decisions and Aligned Actions;
  • Improved Personal and Professional Functioning;
  • Less Sense of Separation and More Connection with Like Hearted Others;
  • People on the Consciousness Path to Navigate These Intense Times With!

WHO ATTENDS and PARTICIPATES:

A range of people.

Some are well-versed in concepts of non-duality, awareness and processing. While others are just beginning on the path.

Some are from my private practice, and courses I host or co-host. Some are completely new to me and have somehow found their way.

Given my early history in the Graphic Facilitation field, often business people, process peeps and creatives find their way here (entrepreneurs, technicians, managers, facilitators, coaches, trainers, therapists, energy workers, intuitives, artists, teachers, advocates, graphic recorders, illustrators, designers and more).

I work with one person at a time, in a group setting.  Activities that all can do at the same time are also shared.

Speaking, interacting and processing is purely optional. One can attend a Satsang without saying a word – as so much can be gained by observing, gathering gems, and being energetically impacted by other people’s inner work (parallel processing).

RANGE OF TOPICS:

Everything that is part of the human condition is welcome.

Joy, appreciation, inspiration, contentment, hope, boredom, confusion, worry, fear, terror, anger, rage, sorrow and shame.

  • Global, international, national, regional and local events;
  • Business, work, career, burnout and retirement;
  • Health, illness, accident, ageing;
  • Finances;
  • Relationships;
  • Meaning, purpose, empowerment and sovereignty;
  • Intuition, psionics, the unconscious, subtle energy including kundalini;
  • Ancestral and intergenerational legacy and epigenetics;
  • Loss, dying, death and beyond the veil.

We don’t agree on everything … far from it. Satsang attendees can hold polar opposite views. This is a helpful catalyst for discovering what is at the root of either side. Interestingly, often an impassioned defense of a similar value.

By visually processing together, we have a precious opportunity to ‘see under the hood’. To be let into the history, context and inner workings of our fellow Human Beings. Building greater understanding, awareness, acceptance, mutual regard and respect.
