Realization Process Retreat: Healing the Five Qualities

With Judith Blackstone

In Person!

At the Stone Chalet in Ann Arbor, Michigan

November 13-17, 2024, Wednesday-Saturday, 10:00-4:30, with a break for lunch, and Sunday, 9:30-12:00

When we uncover fundamental consciousness as the undivided ground of our being, we can also experience the innate qualities of our being within our body. This retreat will focus on healing and deepening your embodiment of the five primary qualities your being: sexuality, power, love, voice and understanding.  We will use the Realization Process meditation, embodiment and trauma release practices, along with movement, sound, self-inquiry and group discussion and support to help heal early wounding and enhance both the feel and the function of each of these qualities.  As fundamental consciousness, we mature as individuals at the same time as we transcend our individuality to experience oneness with everyone and everything around us.  Everyone is welcome!

The Fullness of the Ground: Practices for Embodied Nondual Realization

Four Mondays: February 24, March 3, 10, 17, 1:00-3:00 PM Eastern

With Judith Blackstone

Online, Via Zoom

Judith will teach the practices from her latest book, The Fullness of the Ground, for experiencing the wholeness, steadiness, depth, fluidity, subtlety and permeability of nondual realization, the realization of your own nature as fundamental consciousness.  She will teach ways to stabilize as fundamental consciousness in your daily life.  As taught in the Realization Process, nondual realization has a profound effect on your senses, your breath, your experience of your own authentic existence, your relationships, and your ability to love.  You mature as an individual as you transcend your individuality to experience oneness with everyone and everything around you.  You are both empty and present, at the same time.

Small group format.  Judith will work individually, in front of the group, with anyone who wants assistance with the practices.  Classes are recorded and available to participants.

Everyone is welcome!

Realization Process: an Embodied Approach to Personal Healing and Nondual Awakening

With Judith Blackstone

Presented by East-West Books

Online

Saturday, May 3, 2:00-4:00 PM Eastern

Judith will teach the main practices of the Realization Process, a unique series of meditative practices for embodied personal and relational healing, and nondual spiritual awakening.  These gentle attunement practices can help you feel both more present and more receptive within your whole body.  They cultivate wholeness, sensory and emotional resilience, grounding, authenticity, and the ability to connect deeply with others without loss of inward contact with yourself.   They uncover a subtle, undivided dimension of fundamental consciousness, pervading our body and our environment as a unity.  Judith will also discuss how these practices can contribute to healing from trauma, to feeling more balanced and relaxed, and to helping sensitive people live more comfortably in the world. Judith is the founder of the Realization Process.

Cost – $40 To Register

Realization Process Retreat - In Person

May 15-19, 2025 – The retreat is full. 

Thursday-Sunday, 10:00-4:00, with a break for lunch, and Monday, 10:00-12:00

This retreat is an opportunity for the deep, concentrated practice of all aspects of the Realization Process: meditation, embodiment/movement, relational attunement, cultivating internal balance and fluidity, refining sensory perception and the breath/energy, and releasing trauma-based constrictions from the body, heart and mind.

All of the Realization Process practices facilitate your realization of nonduality – the uncovering of your own nature as undivided, fundamental consciousness, pervading your body and environment as a whole.

Small group format, so there is time for individual attention, and brief (optional) individual sessions with Judith in front of the group.

Everyone is welcome.  This retreat is both a comprehensive introduction to the Realization Process, and a chance for advanced practitioners to deepen their realization.  Come experience the beauty of spring in Woodstock.

Suggested reading: The Fullness of the Ground, by Judith Blackstone

Cost – $765 (does not include lodging.  The retreat will be held in Lake Hill, NY, around a ten minute ride from Woodstock. There are many hotels and airbnbs in the area.  If you do not have a car, transportation to the retreat will be arranged for you.

Realization Process Retreat - In Person

With Judith Blackstone

In Person.  At Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY

September 22-26, 2025 – Registration to open soon.

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.
