Online via Zoom first Sunday of each month. Experience Realization Process practices lead by Marcia Haarer, LMSW and Christi Bemister, PsyD, LP. Each month we give you an opportunity to come together to experience essential RP practices.
Pathway to Full Certification in The Realization Process
Below you can see a description of each of the three main teacher trainings from 2024 to 2026. In the three main trainings, you learn the gentle, powerful attunement practices of The Realization Process.
Meditation
The Meditation training teaches specific practices for realizing and stabilizing in nondual reality.
Embodiment
The practices of the Embodiment training help you to feel fully alive and present within your whole body. They enhance resilience to emotional and sensory stimuli, grounding, the integration of awareness, emotion and physical sensation, and a sense of belonging within one’s own body in any circumstance.
Healing Ground
The Healing Ground training teaches the application of fundamental consciousness tothe release of trauma based patterns that are bound within the body. The release of these patterns heals chronic fragmentations in our own being, between ourself and other people,and between ourself and our environment. It helps remove obstacles to personal maturity and nondual realization.
The completion of any of these three main trainings prepares and authorizes you to teach that aspect of the Realization Process. Full certification as a Realization Process teacher is awarded at the completion of these three trainings. They can be taken in any order.
Upcoming Teacher Training
Healing Ground Teacher Certification Training
The spiritual psychotherapy aspect of the Realization Process
Two-Module In-Person Format
April 2025 & June 2025 Dates Below
Healing Ground is the spiritual psychotherapy aspect of the Realization Process. This training teaches the main Realization Process practices for embodied nondual awakening, and their application to personal maturity and psychological healing. Specific practices are taught for listening and responding to another person as fundamental consciousness, for subtle reading of constrictions and openness in one’s own and another person’s body, and for recognizing and releasing emotional wounds and trauma-based constrictions from the body.
The Realization Process practices can help people access a dimension of themselves that has never been injured, that is deeper and more subtle than even the most strongly held negative beliefs, depression and anxiety. They also develop sensory and emotional resilience, grounding, self-possession, and self-acceptance. They can help sensitive people live more comfortably in the world.
Format
Two five-day modules.
The first module is taught by senior Realization Process teachers – you can choose among the teachers listed below - and the second module is taught by Judith Blackstone. Registration is limited to thirty people.
Judith Blackstone will also teach the Healing Ground Teacher Certification Training in the six-month online format, in October, 2025-April, 2026.

Fall 2024
Uncovering, Empowering, and Rejoicing in the experience of Being Human
Within the Realization Process is a radical and simple embodiment method to attune to the human Qualities of gender, power, love, voice and intelligence.
When we do this, these Qualities can be felt in the Unified Field of the body as undeniable truths of our being. We feel like ourselves, with our own experience of gender, access to pure undistorted power, unconditional love, clarity of voice and our own intelligence. It is at once ordinary and profoundly empowering. We feel distinctly connected without being merged or enmeshed with another.
We feel authentically ourself and disentangled.
In this series, we will explore the five human Qualities of gender, power, love, voice, and intelligence. Each session will follow a sequence of attuning, journaling, talking, chanting and movement to enhance contact with each Quality.
A participant writes:
“For me the sequencing has a powerful effect, especially that it concludes with movement, which feels both right and natural. When moving at the end, I sense an integration happening, a trustworthy completion.
Going through the varied steps while exploring a Quality, something uncontrived emerges. With each Quality, a knowing becomes apparent. What becomes apparent for me is this: these Qualities are an undeniable truth for each human being. No one can rob them from us. Even though inequalities and injustices may obscure the Qualities, they are there, ever present and pure. During the healing session, even if our access to a Quality is brief or fuzzy or incomplete, we can confirm and even rejoice that it is present. I find this to be empowering and stabilizing.”
