Join a compassionate community of meditators for live guided Realization Process meditations. We come home to our bodies, uncover the unified ground of our heart, mind and sensations, and open to the unified ground of all beings. Each Monday we attune to the unified field of fundamental consciousness pervading us. Each Friday we offer time for reflections, questions, and observations. We invite you to participate for the first week at no charge. To register or to learn more, contact Ruth.

Realization Process

The Realization Process is based on deep contact with the internal space of our body and is a direct path to embodied nondual awakening. I offer Realization Process practices in Telesangha for Bodies that Squawk and am working, one-on-one, with Realization Process students to help them attune to their inner experience, unwind holding patterns in their bodies, and uncover the fundamental unfragmented ground of their own being. I plan on offering a course, Introduction to the Realization Process, in the near future. Please contact Ruth if you are interested in the class, would like to learn more, or so we can work together.

 

Private sessions 

I offer one-to-one private sessions for people who seek personal guidance in attuning to their inner experience, unwinding holding patterns in their body, and uncovering the unfragmented ground of their being. If you would like to explore working together, contact Ruth

 

 

Writing Practice - open to writers

Inviting Chronic Pain & Illness to Tea (ICPIT) - starts January 24, 2024​

Chronic pain and/or illness can shape the relationship we have with our minds, bodies and hearts. This course is for those seeking to change their relationship with a chronic struggle that they may perceive as an obstacle to living life fully.

​

Research has shown that the cultivation of mindfulness practices can have a significant effect on well-being in the presence of pain and illness. Informed by the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, Judith Blackstone, Tara Brach and others, this course will provide tools participants can use to reframe their experience and embrace what is. As we get to know the experience of pain or illness more intimately, new avenues for well-being open up.

​

Through experiential exercises, meditations, group discussions, community-building and home practice, participants will learn to deepen their awareness of themselves as much more than the pain or illness. 

​

Co-taught with Stan Eisenstein, this 17-week course offers 9 bi-weekly classes where new content will be offered, and 8 bi-weekly practice sessions to integrate learning and cultivate community. This course is designed for an extended length in order to help participants more fully integrate the teachings and practices into their lives.

 

• Next session starts January 24, 2024.

• Tuesday nights starting 6:30 pm eastern time on Zoom.

• This 17-week course offers 9 bi-weekly classes where new content is offered, and 8 bi-weekly practice sessions to integrate learning and cultivate community. We meet 2 hours one week, and 1 hour the next week for 17 weeks.

• Free introductory session on January 9, 2024 at 6:30 pm Eastern Time. 

​

The course cultivates several foundations:

• Mindfulness – a recognizing and allowing of physical and emotional experiences at deeper and deeper levels

• Heart Practices – including self-kindness, gratitude, working through grief

• Embodiment – learning to bring attention more and more fully into the body so that it starts to feel more like home

• Community – building connections with others who are learning to navigate similar challenges and share common experiences

​

The course includes: 

• Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices

• Group dialogue and discussions aimed at community-building and working      through challenges

• Daily home practice, including guided meditations and exercises to apply into your life
