Love, Contact, and Mutual Awakening

Welcome to Mentoring Love

Applications now being accepted

This advanced mentoring series invites you into a deeply transformative exploration of how to love more fully—with presence, compassion, joy, and freedom. By attuning together to fundamental consciousness, we uncover an unbounded relational field, where even the simplest interactions can open profound intimacy and spiritual depth.

Through short, powerful meditations and somatic inquiries, you’ll dissolve obstacles to intimacy with yourself and others. Guided by Judith Blackstone’s The Intimate Life: Awakening to the Spiritual Essence in Yourself and Others, we cultivate a vibrant, community-oriented way of being—integrating meditation, reading, journaling, and study group sessions to expand your capacity for love, presence, and connection.

Who This Course Is For

Experienced Realization Process meditators ready to deepen their nondual realization in the crucible of relationship.

Four Pathways to Authentic Contact

Presence

• Show up fully, offering undivided attention
• Embody a grounded awareness that says, “I am here for you”
• Honor and nurture another’s essence with genuine openness

Joy

• Acknowledge each other’s presence with heartfelt gratitude
• Celebrate each moment, cultivating shared aliveness
• Invite warmth and spaciousness for healing and connection

Compassion

• Offer loving presence when another is suffering
• Create a safe space for authentic expression, free from judgment
• Build trust by meeting vulnerability with empathy and acceptance

Vulnerability

• Allow yourself to be truly seen, inviting mutual support
• Discover the freedom in letting go of fear and defensiveness
• Experience the deeper intimacy that arises through openness

Examples of Somatic Inquiries

• Do you self-silence or withdraw emotionally to avoid conflict or discomfort?
• Do you suppress your desires to prioritize others’ needs?
• Do you intellectualize your feelings to avoid emotional vulnerability?
