Depth. Intimacy. Living Truth
The Invitation
Mentoring Presence is an eight-month journey into the lived experience of the unified relational field of fundamental consciousness—and into the subtle continuity of self and other that underlies all relationships.
As you make deep contact with the internal space of your body, you begin to live more steadily from within yourself. Old protections soften. Perception changes. You discover that you can remain with yourself while in direct contact with others. Contact is no longer something you try to create, but something you can feel—immediate, embodied, alive.
Through guided meditations, somatic inquiry, truth-speaking, study groups, affinity groups, collaborative sharing, and individualized mentoring, you loosen the protective patterns that limit authentic contact with yourself and others. You clarify what matters from within your own experience. You speak from what is real. You let the ground of your being shape how you live and relate.
Throughout this journey, you are companioned by mentors who have each walked this path over many years. They know what it is to lose the thread and find it again—to stay close to what is here, even when it is difficult. In their presence, and in the presence of your cohort, you may find yourself known in ways that quietly change how you are with yourself and others.
Reflections from the Field
“By pure grace I found Jason online and recognized the wisdom in his writings. Working with him has shown me how expansive and inclusive that wisdom is.
Jason provided me with a precious place of solace, a soft resting spot, and a still place where I could finally relax and allow myself to grow and evolve through the stormy seas of radical change and upheaval that were taking place in both my inner and outer worlds.
The generosity of his spirit provided me with a heartfelt home where I could rest and gather strength for a genuine return to my body and my true self. I am forever grateful.”
“I sought out Marika Baxter because she is trained as a physical therapist. As I’d hoped, her multi-faceted understanding of the body has informed her teaching as she shows me how to move within my limitations.
Unexpectedly, she has given me more. She has shared her wisdom about how to discover myself through the medium of my body—which is, after all, my “self.” Marika is calm, kind, and generous with her knowledge. I feel lucky to work with her.”
“Jason was impressively heart-centric and empathetically guided me into my deepest places.I’ve worked with a lot of coaches and therapists, and can say that Jason felt especially present. He will be right by your side every step of the way, and creates a very safe container for you to go into the untraveled pockets of your consciousness to find healing and freedom.
If you are seeking a more loving relationship with yourself, a sense of healing, or to feel more embodied, then Jason is your guide.”
“Through his non-judgmental, clear, and caring presence, Jason enables me to turn around, inwardly, from the stories and problems I am dealing with, to meet with the subtlest version of myself. He has the ability to bring my awareness deeper, beneath whatever I am sharing, and gently ushers me to meet myself however I feel, wherever my mind is at, and with whatever sensation is pressing inside me. Sessions support me in attuning to and familiarizing myself with the space where self-compassion and clarity have a chance to manifest, not only to heal whatever needs tending, but to deepen my experience spiritually.”
“Working with Jason has been very uplifting. His experience with the Realization Process and his ability to connect the process to the relational and pragmatic facets of daily life facilitates a very enriching experience. While facilitating, his attention to my experience provided a learning environment that helped me deepen my practice.”
“Marika’s Realization Process Practices came at the perfect time for me. During the “stay-at-home” time I looked forward to Sunday evening to settle down my nervous system. Both the practice of the Realization Process and Marika’s voice took me on an inner journey. Marika’s approach is gentle, warm and accessible. She has done the work herself and is gifted at guiding others through the process. I highly recommend working with her.”
“Marika’s offering of subtle energy work has been so beneficial to me especially during the Covid-19. Tuning in to my inner core being helps me to maintain my rhythm and true potential, letting go of blockages and old belief systems. I’m very grateful for all her work, generosity of spirit and soothing voice. Thank you Marika!”
Your Mentors
Jason brings steadiness, grounded warmth and a sensitivity – shaped by lived experience – to complexities and subtleties of opening more fully to life. He helps people feel supported in their vulnerability and more able to meet themselves and others with integrity, understanding, and heart.
Marika brings a highly attuned sensitivity to the body and to subtle layers of emotion, energy, and consciousness, along with a grounded joy in expressing what is alive and true for you. Her warmth makes it easier to be deeply human—messy, tender, and still arriving—and to feel at home in her presence and in yourself.
Mikael brings unusual clarity, warmth, and sensitivity to the subtle movements of transformation. He has a lived familiarity with paradox and helps people stay close to the living edges of their own experience, opening to the immediacy of the wholeness that is emerging.
What This Program Asks of You
Wholehearted participation during and between sessions is an essential part of the program. This work asks for sincerity, ongoing practice, and a willingness to let yourself be shaped by direct contact, truth-speaking, and shared inquiry.
Over time, this work deepens your capacity to remain grounded in yourself while in direct contact with others—to speak from what is true, to stay close to what is real, and to live from the ground of your being.
Sessions Overview
- Session 1
You arrive. You meet your cohort and Study Group. Something begins to stir as the field comes alive—a gentle yet fierce sense of belonging to one another, and to something larger than any one person brings alone.
- Session 2
You begin to notice where you pull back—the subtle ways you leave yourself, or hold against contact. These patterns once protected you. Now they shape how you meet life. As they soften, something deeper begins to emerge. A question already alive in you. Felt in the body, it reveals what matters most and begins to organize your path from within.
- Session 3
From the depth of your contact with yourself, what matters most begins to clarify—what is actually alive and true in you. You share a short truth talk drawn from lived experience. Then you move into an Affinity Group shaped around the burning question that is most alive in you.
- Autumn Interim
Your Affinity Group finds its own rhythm. You meet independently, sit with your advisor, and let the inquiry deepen between sessions. Something begins to take shape—not just an idea, but a living understanding becoming embodied.
- Sessions 4–6
Each Affinity Group offers what has emerged to the whole cohort. Relationship becomes the place where realization is lived. Together, we move through what matters most:- Healing fragmentation and unmet needs
- Embodying the essential self
- Relating as our essential self
- Winter Interim
You return to your Study Group changed by what has unfolded. Together, you prepare personal teaching talks—opportunities to stand in what has become most real, to speak from within your own lived experience, and to let what remains unresolved stay open and alive.
- Sessions 7–9
Through personal teaching talks and Bohmian dialogue, we turn together toward the questions that run beneath everything- What is healing? What is being healed?
- What is awakening? What is being awakened?
- What is living nondually?
- Session 10
We gather to honor all that has unfolded—not an ending, but a threshold. A deep beginning.
