Welcome

This immersive eight-month program is for experienced Realization Process practitioners and certified teachers who are drawn to deepen their capacity to live as a healing presence in the world.

Together, we’ll explore how the unified relational field of fundamental consciousness transforms us. When there is enough depth, openness, and contact, it feels as though our whole body grows from this ground. Attuned to fundamental consciousness, we experience both our wholeness and our oneness.

One participant shared, “My life has never been this rich. I have never felt this alive, this comfortable in my own skin.” Another reflected, “Your ability to guide me into a lived, visceral integration of body, mind, and heart is a gift I didn’t expect to experience in this lifetime.”

What follows is a glimpse into the unfolding rhythm of our journey.

Program Overview

Session by session, we enter a living rhythm of practice, presence, and inquiry that deepens our capacity to sense, relate, and live from the ground of our being.

Session 1: Realizing the Unified Relational Field

Meet your cohort and your study group — introduce yourself, and sense the field come alive with each person’s presence. Experience the felt sense of kinship — a gentle yet fierce sense of belonging to one another and something greater.

Session 2: Healing and the Real-World Impact of Protective Patterns

Discover how protective strategies limit perception, relationships, and sense of self. Let this inquiry reveal a personal living question — not a concept, but a felt thread toward greater authenticity.

Session 3: Living in Truth

Clarify what matters most. Offer a 4-6 minute truth talk drawn from lived experience. Transition into Affinity Groups based on shared questions and themes.

Summer Interim: Deepening in Relationship and Inquiry

Affinity Groups meet independently to explore shared questions and prepare a 25-30 minute Collaborative Teaching Session (to be shared in September). Meet with Roma. Engage with curated meditations to support your daily practice.

Sessions 4–5–6: Collaborative Teaching Sessions | Open Space

Each Affinity Group facilitates a teaching session, inviting us to taste their deep dive into their topic.. In these sessions, we also explore:

  • Healing Our Fragmentations and Unmet Needs – Session 4
    “Just as we can open a fist to reveal a hand, our unbound, unconstructed being can emerge from our pain and breathe again.”

  • Embodying Our Essential Self – Session 5
    “The more we let go of the protective constrictions throughout our body, the more we open to and realize ourselves as the disentangled ground of fundamental consciousness.”

  • Relating Without Losing Contact with Ourselves – Session 6
    “Fundamental consciousness is experienced as the deepest contact that you can have with yourself and with other people.” 

Autumn Interim: Integration and Teaching Preparation

Rejoin your original Study Group. Support each other in preparing an individual 10-15 minute personal teaching talk. Articulate what has become most real — what has deepened — what still lives as a question.

Sessions 7–8–9: Personal Teaching Talks | What is Healing? | What is Being Healed? | What is Awakening?

Each session explores a core idea through Bohmian Dialogue — a space of shared inquiry.

  • What is Healing? – Session 7
    What if healing is the journey of uncovering our innate wholeness?
  • What is Being Healed? – Session 8
    What if our connection with our essential self is being healed?
  • What Is Awakening? – Session 9
    What if awakening is the direct experience of our true nature?

Session 10: Reflections, Honoring, and Celebration

We gather to honor all that has unfolded — within us, between us, and through us. In presence, in symbolic offering, and in heartfelt reflection, we celebrate not an ending, but a threshold — a deep beginning.

My wish for each of us:

May we rest into the luminous freedom, quiet joy, and unshakable beauty of being human.

About Your Mentor

As a Senior Realization Process Teacher with over three decades of experience in Neigong and Tantric Buddhism, and as an authorized teacher of Tao, I am honored to walk this path with others seeking to deepen their embodied nondual realization.

I hold a PhD in Integral Philosophy from the California Institute of Integral Studies, a discipline that highlights the central role of consciousness in the evolution of personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal dimensions of life.

Recognizing the transformative power of spiritual mentorship, I created the Nondual Realization Process Mentoring Program—a signature offering for those who long to deepen their nondual realization and authentically express their true nature within a vibrant, supportive, and dynamic global community.

Through four sequential courses and optional monthly cross-level sessions, participants dissolve barriers, resolve doubts, and embody a vibrant aliveness, presence, and authenticity that radiates through their whole being.

This course is a cornerstone of that vision. It is a profound joy to share this gentle and transformative journey with you.
