Realization Process Retreat - In Person
With Judith Blackstone
In Person. A Residential Retreat at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY
September 21-26, 2025
With Judith’s careful guidance, the Realization Process practices can help you uncover the undivided, fundamental ground of your being, and experience its profound effect on your senses, breath, vitality and authenticity, your capacity for understanding, love and pleasure, and your oneness with other living beings. You will also learn how to apply these subtle attunement practices to help heal yourself from the effects of trauma, and to release chronic patterns of pain, imbalance and tension from your body. This is an opportunity to practice all aspects of the Realization Process: meditation, embodiment/movement, the relational attunement practices, and the Healing Ground trauma release work.
This workshop will provide a safe space to go deeply into the integrated process of psychological healing and nondual spiritual awakening. However, it is not appropriate for someone who is currently in crisis, or working with severe, unresolved trauma.

Unconditional: An Embodied Realization Collective for Parents - Free
With Margaret Brittingham and Marijana Jozic
Online, via Zoom
Last Tuesday of the Monday, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM Pacific, starts June 24
This is a special online space to support the nondual realization of parents who aspire to nurture the whole-being essence of their children. As single mothers we have found the realization process to be deeply supportive on our unique parenting journeys, fostering an unconditional relational foundation between us that can be hard to find in modern culture and the dominant parenting paradigm. We want to extend an invitation to other parents on this path who long for this depth of resonant connection and support and who feel a deep call to realize their true power as parents, to practice the meditative and embodiment exercises from the realization process. Together we will co-create a circle of true belonging and kinship to support our collective awakening and embodied transformation on the parenting journey.

Whether you’re completely new or experienced in meditation, you are welcome.

Mentoring Intimacy: The Intimacy of Being — Authenticity, Resonance, and the Courage to Open
With Roma Hammel, PhD
Online, via Zoom
Nine Thursdays, 9:00–11:00 AM Pacific – February 19, March 5, March 19, April 2, April 16, May 7, May 21, June 11, June 25 – Applications now being accepted.
At the heart of our longing lies a hidden promise — the quiet ache to be seen is a call home. Even as this longing draws us toward one another, it can stir the old defenses that once protected us from the pain of not being met. In nonduality, intimacy is not performance or disclosure, but a tender way of being with all that arises. Guided by Roma, whose attuned presence weaves meditations and somatic inquiries into a quietly healing way of being, this series invites us into a resonant field where presence deepens, compassion flows, and love heals. Core text: Judith Blackstone’s The Intimate Life: Awakening to the Spiritual Essence in Yourself and Others.
Small group format. Eligibility: Mentoring One Graduate, Realization Process Teacher certification, or sustained Realization Process practice. Note: Nine certified Realization Process practitioners from within our circle are invited to offer teachings shaped through her mentorship.
