What is DHARMABRIDGE?
DharmaBridge is an Awareness Coaching Program led by Kelly Blaser. The purpose of the program is to support you in your spiritual life so that you are grounded, centered, curious, and inspired to meet your life wholeheartedly and with a root willingness.
When you walk through the world with willingness, you gain access to resilience, joy, contribution, and purpose.
The program is designed around the teachings of the Dharma, from Buddhism and non-dual Shaiva and Shakta Tantra. We also incorporate teachings from modern transpersonal and somatic psychology, IFS, Therapy Improv, and eco-feminism.
You will be guided towards the creation of a committed sadhana, or spiritual practice, and will evolve in your understanding of the teachings of the wisdom traditions, collectively referred to as the Dharma.
You will receive group coaching and individual coaching, as well as being part of a sangha that learns to support and listen to each other. You will retrain your mind to return reflexively to curiosity and loving-kindness, and create the conditions around you that nourish and sustain an ever-evolving awakening.

What might you Ask yourself,
If YOu are Considering DharmaBridge?
The Question is:
Will THE PATH YOU'vE BEEN ON TAKE YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO?
OR DO YOU NEED ANOTHER ROUTE?
This program is called a BRIDGE
because though every present moment is perfect,
we also do best when we have a vision that carries us forward.
A bridge can carry you
from where you are to where you want to BE.
When you get there, you'll realize you already had everything you need.
But the journey is important.
DharmaBridge will Grow You.
You will step into a different experience of who you are. You'll relate differently with yourself and others. For those ready to deeply engage the work, this process will radically uplevel their ability to take leadership in life, vis-a-vis personal habits, relationships, and within their work, whether that be artistic work, social change movements, or career.
Through new self-understanding, we find we make decisions more easily, more cleanly. This work doesn't preclude breakdowns, but teaches us to engage with breakdowns differently, so that every breakdown evolves us. We'll learn to come back to center, because you will know that place intimately.
