About us
The Realization Process Teacher Community is a new peer network for people who have graduated from at least one Realization Process teacher training.
For the main Realization Process website, see here: https://realizationprocess.org/
We started by sending out a survey to teacher training graduates in November of 2023, and as of December 2024 we have 140 members.
We spent our first year setting up our administrative backbone and core programs like our email and WhatsApp groups, quarterly online gatherings, weekly practice teaching, monthly Healing Ground exchanges, annual in-person gatherings, and online discussion groups like Communities of Color and LGBTQ+.
During 2025, we'll continue these programs and launch a few more. We'll also work to achieve nonprofit status, which should put us on even better footing for the long term with a clear organizational structure, accountability to the community, and the ability to accept tax-deductible donations.
More than 15 volunteers are in the mix so far, which sounds like a lot until you realize that we had more than 50(!) people say they were willing to help. It's taking a while to get to everybody, so please feel free to reach out if you're eager to help and haven't heard anything.
You can see our News & Articles page for more details, or join us to get our emails, including Zoom links for our events.
Last but not least: so our emails don't go to spam, please make sure to put "bonnie@ this website", "katie@thiswebsite", and "info@ this website" in your contacts. Thank you.
Gathering together, growing together
Values
Guidelines: We expect Teacher Community members to follow the principles and policies we each agreed to when we signed up for Realization Process teacher trainings, as well as the Honor Code(s) from the Association for Spiritual Integrity and the specific guidelines for our various programs (the email group, practice teaching, etc).
Values: We value the Realization Process and agree to respect Judith Blackstone’s work. We also agree to respect each other’s work, including other modalities and creative innovations.
We work to make this community welcoming to all. We ask about, speak up for, and balance everyone’s needs as best we can. We do our best to understand and value everyone’s experiences and perspectives. We also respect and value each other’s time, energy, and attention.
We understand that we, our work, and RP itself are not perfect or universal, and we recognize the inevitability and importance of doubts, critiques, disagreements, and mistakes. We hold each other and all beings in utmost respect, as equals, even in difficult moments.
We practice professional confidentiality. We do not share identifiable information outside of any group in which it is offered. We also practice professional courtesy: we credit other people’s ideas where we can.
We are grateful for and we celebrate each other, the space in which we meet, and the work that all of us do.
NOTE: This is a preliminary draft! Feedback is welcome.
