The Space Between Us
Awakening Together in a Fractured WorldWhat if the deepest transformation begins not alone, but between us?
The Space Between Us: Awakening Together in a Fractured World invites you into a radical shift in how we meet ourselves, each other, and the moment. Drawing on decades of spiritual practice and, more recently, a deep shared inquiry, Peter Mitchell explores the possibility that the most profound transformations happen not in isolation, but in relationship—within the subtle field that awakens when we meet in presence.
Told through the first-hand experiences of a group discovering how coming together with vulnerability and radical honesty allows something larger to emerge, the book reveals how dialogue, shared presence, and authenticity can open the door to the Real. It shows that when we rest deeply in who we already are, the walls of identity begin to fall away. In that freedom, genuine meeting becomes possible—beyond the masks, roles, and labels we usually hide behind—offering a glimpse of the mystery that holds us all.
This is not a book of abstract philosophy. It is an invitation into what becomes possible when we trust the space between us. From the intimacy of a single conversation to the collective potential of communities, The Space Between Us illuminates how awakening can be a shared journey—messy, surprising, transformative, and full of grace.
You will discover:
- Why genuine connection is both the path and the fruit of awakening.
- How presence can open us beyond identity, story, and agenda.
- What it takes to stay rooted and open-hearted in the face of conflict or difference.
- How the mystery of meeting transforms both the individual and the collective—with far-reaching implications for how we live and evolve together.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner still seeking “the real deal” or simply longing for more authentic connection in your life, this book offers a way forward—rooted in truth, illuminated by trust, and alive to the mystery at the heart of human meeting.
“Peter has lovingly and accurately captured the essence of what we as participants are finding together as we meet in ‘a living, vital, awake field of commonality’… a lighthouse and inspiration for the potential of human beings to meet and flourish beyond our usual sense of separateness.”
