The Fullness of the Ground: Practices for Embodied Nondual Realization
Four Mondays: September 9, 16, 23, 30 – 1:00-3:00 PM Eastern
With Judith Blackstone
One space left.
Online, Via Zoom
Judith will teach the practices from her new book for experiencing the wholeness, steadiness, depth, fluidity, subtlety and permeability of nondual realization. She will teach ways to stabilize in your attunement to 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!

Being with the Messiness of Transformation
With Fiona Ballmer
Online
Five Fridays, August 23, 30, September 13, 20, 27 – 1.00pm-2.30pm Eastern
Transformation is a natural part of human life. But growth and change can at times feel challenging, messy and disorienting. The same applies – or even more so – to spiritual transformation. As we open up to the path of letting our beingness pervade our human form and of bringing light into the darkness of our wounds, this process of awakening brings deep transformation – phases of openings and phases of great challenge. In this 5-part course we explore the topic of transformation and deepen into spiritual aspects that support us to welcome the waves of inner and outer change. The course is an invitation to open up to the challenging phases of transformation as a chance to heal and to become more empty to be a vessel for the light. Realization Process based and inspired practices combined with breathing practices, inquiry and discussion.
