A Glimpse into the Art Gallery:

Words from participants…

  • "Laura is a gifted teacher! Her online presence is so warm and palpable. She brings deep experience, insight, and practice to crafting each session, introducing new concepts with clarity. Laura has a deft touch when responding to participants' questions: listening for the heart of the question and responding in a way that makes the entire group feel heard and guided. Even in a few sessions I have gained helpful body-centered approaches to meeting the swirl and chaos that life is always presenting."

    Rosemary Lloyd, Unitarian Universalist Minister

  • "What I found remarkable in our class was the bonding and deepening sense of community. It was a lovely sense of calm and wellness. This enhanced the richness of my meditations as well as my ability to savor them."

    Lizbeth Estes, M.S., P.T.

  • "I am finding that my experience with attuning to the spacious stillness within and outside myself, is easily accessible now. I experience a calm, light, peaceful state of mind following my daily practice that remains with me throughout the day. I am so grateful to you for introducing me to the Realization Process and for your caring and expert training, for it has had a transformative impact on all aspects of my health and well-being."

The Realization Process

An Innovative Path for Embodied Personal and Relational Healing and Nondual Spiritual Awakening by Dr. Judith Blackstone.

The Realization Process invites us to embody an underlying ground of unwavering, spacious stillness that is radiant and luminous. Through a series of gentle guided practices, we attune more deeply to a direct experience of inhabiting our body. As a result, we more fully realize the depth of our humanity, and we grow towards wholeness integrating our body, mind and heart.
