5 Realization Process Workshops on Embracing Wholeness, Presented by Sono Hashisaki

Embracing Wholeness is a monthly workshop series focused on experiencing the wholeness of our lives from deep contact with a subtle dimension of ourself to full engagement with family, friends and community. We’ll use meditation and movement exercises from Realization Process, work with our family systems, and explore the generative possibilities of collectively working together to contribute to greater wholeness to all the realms that make up our lives today.

Workshop 3: Passages: Love, Loss and Life

December 14, 2024 at Fremont Abbey

“All there is, is love, love everywhere.” These were the words of a burly, bearded man who had been helping find missing people and bodies after the recent floods in North Carolina. He was tired and a little shocked after a long, hard day of searching among the debris, brush, and trees of a water ravaged landscape. My friend who shared this encounter said they spoke awhile before he drove off in his pickup, emblazoned with the politics of the day, to keep on with what was needed.

Its pervasive, that feeling of love and we often feel it more acutely with endings… the time spent with a loved one, a loss of community when we move, or even diminishing capabilities due to injury or even just aging. How we navigate the feelings of loss, that’s an individual question. But hopefully one that can be supported by resting in deep contact with ourselves. Coming to our senses in our own timing.

In this workshop we will use Realization Process attunements to experience being in contact with ourselves everywhere in our body. From this place of stillness, we might find peace, understanding and presence with what is happening, what has happened, and to the many emotions that come with loss.

This workshop is accessible for people of all physical abilities and backgrounds.
Cost: $90-$150 sliding fee* (*additional tuition assistance is available upon request)

What to bring:
- Snacks to share for a short lunch break

Workshop 2: I-Thou: Family and Systemic Relationships

November 16, 2024 at Ballard Homestead [TICKETS HERE]

What are you wondering about? Do you have questions about relationships with yourself or others? Please join us for a whole day workshop on Saturday, November 16th to experience Realization Process (RP) embodiment practices and Family and Systemic Constellations with facilitators, Sono Hashisaki and Tanya Shapiro. Family Constellations offer an opportunity to look at any challenge, problem or symptom from the context of family. At its core, this work invites us to see our situation from an expanded view of family and other systemic influences. We can respectfully observe what is behind our blocks regarding employment, health, relationships, or finance, for greater relief and increased vitality. Embodiment or experiencing ourselves living in our own bodies is a profound foundation for exploring family and other relationships. Please join us to explore the changes happening in your life today, both challenging and aspirational, using Realization Process and Family and Systemic Constellations to observe family dynamics through guided meditations, dyad work, and a family constellation group process. People of all physical abilities and backgrounds are welcome.
