Weekly Meetings: East Boulder, Mondays, 7 – 9PM, Sept. 14 – Dec. 7, 2026 (No meeting Oct. 12, Nov 23)
Group Retreat: Glacier View Ranch, Thursday Sept. 24 – Sunday Sept. 27
Includes: Three months of weekly sessions, the four day retreat, and one-on-one meetings with Johann.

As we realize that our true nature is love itself, old patterns of lack and unworthiness start to fall away. While it’s often easier to love others, extending that same love inward can feel difficult because the limited sense of self we identify with is never “enough.” Yet our deeper being is not only worthy of love—it is love.

This three-month journey provides a safe, supportive space to deepen your meditation practice and nurture your personal and spiritual growth. Through weekly group meetings, a restorative long-weekend retreat, and one-on-one guidance, you’ll cultivate Mindfulness and Insight meditation to skillfully explore and heal emotional patterns and inner obstacles. This growing clarity and ease fosters a deeper presence and more authentic connection with yourself and others.

As inner peace and equanimity take root, you’ll be invited to open your awareness beyond the contents of experience—beyond doing, striving, or becoming—to simply rest in being, in being aware. Guided by the wisdom of Direct Path and Non-Dual traditions, you’ll learn to live more and more within this spaciousness—opening your heart to the profound truth that awareness and love are not a goal to be reached or a skill to be mastered, but the very essence of who you are.

• Eleven Monday evenings, 7-9PM
• Sept. 14, 21, 28 | Oct. 5, 19, 26 | Nov. 2, 9, 16, 30 | Dec. 7
• Four-day Retreat at Glacier View Ranch, Thursday Sept. 24 – Sunday Sept. 27

• Weekly meetings that blend guided meditation, teachings, open sharing, and discussion in a relaxed yet focused environment.
• Mindfulness (Insight) meditation training to explore emotions and thought patterns with clarity, compassion, and skill, leading to healing, openness and presence.
• Direct Path and Non-Dual practices to rest in being and recognize awareness and love as your true nature.
• A three-day retreat to immerse yourself in nature, practice and community.
• One-on-one sessions with Johann for personal guidance.

By bringing awareness and acceptance to unconscious wounds and unmet needs, you’ll foster healing, resilience, and a deeper capacity to meet life with equanimity. As life flows more effortlessly, love arises naturally from being—without striving or technique.

This group is best suited for people with some meditation experience who want to go deeper. It’s not an introductory course, but rather a place to refine and expand in a committed, like-hearted community.
