Realization Process - Coming Soon
An embodied path toward personal wholeness and spiritual realization
“It has all along been our own self that we are learning to love, to trust, and to become.” - Judith Blackstone
​
The Realization Process is a system of embodied meditation practices that help deepen contact within ourselves and open to the ground of being. Through these gentle, focused and profound practices, you’ll explore your inner landscape and experience existing internally as you. Ultimately these practices help you recover again wholeness and unity within yourself and oneness with the world.

Embodied Meditation - In Person
An interoceptive experience
of wholeness
In-Person class
Second Wednesday each month
Hosted by Fairfield Woods Library
Embodied meditation is a somatic meditation practice that grounds us to feel whole in our bodies and disentangle from all that fragments us during our everyday lives. Each month we explore a different intention to help more fully land in the body through a felt sense experience. Each class offers an experiential practice in connecting to the ground of your being so that you build your capacity to be with all of yourself. Each session will be 60 minutes and will be done seated in a chair and is safe and restorative for all levels.
