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.

Awaken into the Wild Heart of Reality: A Deepening Retreat
With Roma Hammel, PhD
Los Altos Hills, California – in Person!
July 21-25, 2025
Do you seek to realize the nonduality of your innate nature? Do you long to feel the utter truth of it throughout your whole body?
Weaving Realization Process and Taoist practices with movement, touch, sound, art, dialogue, and nature, we unbind the senses, free the mind, and release subtle fragmentations within our own Being and between us and our environment. Implicit in this extraordinary process is a cosmological kind of wild freedom. Thoughts, sensations, and perceptions occur as a unity. Nourished by nature and nurtured by the kindness of others, our hearts become wild and fierce, our bodies luminous and self-aware, our minds keen and clear. This retreat is for experienced RP meditators who can sustain consciousness of the unified field for 90+ minutes. It is not focused on psychological work but instead on deepening attunement to the unified relational field of consciousness pervading us as and our environment.

Mentoring Love, Contact and Mutual Awakening: A Journey into Profound Intimacy and Spiritual Depth
With Roma Hammel, PhD
Online, via Zoom
Twelve Wednesdays: September 10, 2025 to April 8, 2026 – Applications now being accepted.
Mentoring Love invites you into a deeply human inquiry of how to love – as a natural expression of our spiritual essence. In the tangled crucible of intimacy, where raw wounds and hidden defenses surface, we are called to stay present with the discomfort. Love becomes both the path and the ground for embodied spiritual awakening. It deepens through presence, fosters trust through responsiveness, and sparks joy through the willingness to be open and authentic. Love is the aliveness that arises when we truly see, hear, and meet each other. Our core text is Judith Blackstone’s The Intimate Life.
Small group format. Eligibility: Realization Process Teacher certification or sustained Realization Process practice.

Mentoring Synergy: Unveiling Unbounded Depth, Vibrancy and Creativity
With Roma Hammel, PhD
Online, via Zoom
Twelve Fridays: September 19, 2025 to April 10, 2026 – Applications now being accepted.
Mentoring Synergy opens a deeply subtle, intimate, and alive space. When we are each situated within the core of our being, spontaneous flows of energy release us from fragmentation into wholeness, unbind the imprints of our core wounds, and free us to live as vibrant, creative expressions of our deepest self. A quiet luminosity pervades even our simplest moments together, unveiling a truth that is both intimate and infinite: realization and relationship are inseparable—each deepens and refines the other, as a tangible, palpable reality. Our core text is Judith Blackstone’s The Fullness of the Ground: A Guide to Embodied Awakening.
Small group format. Eligibility: Realization Process Teacher certification or sustained Realization Process practice.
