Life is the Teacher – Online Retreat
Date/Time
Date(s) - August 7, 2026 - August 8, 2026
All Day
Self-discovery is not about taking on something new, reaching another goal, or holding onto a new ideal. In many ways, it is about losing everything we imagine ourselves to be.
The way this unfolds is deeply unique for each of us, yet life itself offers the perfect teaching.
Again and again, the mind gives rise to a new identity — a better me, a worse me, a self striving for survival, approval, or control. And through the movements of everyday life, we are invited to see what comes and goes, and what has never moved at all.
This retreat with Lisa is an invitation to meet life exactly as it is — not as an obstacle to awakening, but as the doorway itself. Through honest self-inquiry, reflection, and shared exploration, there is the possibility of recognizing what has never been born and can never die.
As the mind begins to surrender its endless searching, something simpler and more natural is revealed: the perfection of simply being.
Meeting format
We will begin each meeting with silence, followed by questions and reports from the Lisa and the group. Each meeting is approx. 90 mins.
Meet Lisa
For over 30 years, Lisa has been a devoted student of Gangaji—whose invitation in 2005 led her to begin offering Satsang around the world. Rooted in the respected lineage of Ramana Maharshi, Papaji, and Gangaji, Lisa shares the invitation to stop, be still, and discover what is already whole and complete within you.
What is Satsang?
Satsang is a sacred meeting in truth, with the intention of exploring your
true nature. In this safe space, 
you have the opportunity to see what within you is already whole, free, and at peace.
Through simple yet profound inquiry, old patterns can begin to dissolve. What remains is the natural love and calm of your being.
Many people discover that this inner peace brings greater clarity, calm, and compassion into everyday life—whether at work, in relationships, or most importantly, within themselves
