Our Beginning
What began several years ago as a small circle of long-term seekers and finders exploring how awakening can unfold between us - rather than as a solitary personal pursuit - has evolved into a wider field of shared transformation.
Over time, we’ve discovered how a delicate ecology of trust, authenticity, vulnerability, deep listening, and mutual presence allows something greater than any one of us to emerge - a transforming, coherent field that reveals the intelligence of the whole through the full participation of each individual.
Our Discoveries
Through this ongoing experiment, we’ve witnessed profound shifts: the emergence of collective intelligence, subtle rebalancing of gender dynamics, and often surprisingly rapid personal transformation.
A deepening connection continues to reshape how we understand relationship itself. From this living inquiry, an Ecology of Conditions has become visible - the inner and relational qualities that enable this field to appear and sustain itself.
Our Invitation
The Space Between Us is an online community exploring shared transformation. Our vision is to seed a constellation of self-sustaining satellite groups that will evolve into independent nodes within a wider network of collective presencing. These small, facilitated groups unfold over time, creating the conditions of coherence and trust to emerge naturally as each matures into independence. Linked through shared intention and mutual learning, they invite participants to experience and embody this transforming field - for, and as, themselves.
In a world marked by fragmentation, they offer a glimpse of a new culture rooted in coherence, care, and awakened relationship. Participation is through membership in a facilitated group.
We invite you to join us.
Meet your facilitators
Peter Mitchell
Peter is the author of The Space Between Us: Awakening Together in a Fractured World.
His life has followed an unconventional path, weaving together diverse roles - optometrist, artist and model, Santa Claus, and spiritual seeker - into a journey of awakening beyond identity.
A trip to Kathmandu in 1993 catalysed a passionate search through transformative highs and deep trials, revealing the thread of presence running through it all.
He explores these themes in his blog Facets of the Diamond, where he writes about life on the threshold between the unlimited and the embodied.
Anne Sweet
Anne is an artist, writer, speaker, and spiritual innovator whose work bridges insight and real-world transformation.
She is the creator of The End of Seeking: Demystifying the Spiritual Path and Everyday Enlightened Living -complementary works that open pathways to clarity, autonomy, and practical wisdom.
Her current focus is on nurturing the conditions for genuine transformation within the relational field - spaces where authenticity, curiosity, and presence give rise to new possibilities of being.
Anne brings a wealth of experience and deep insight to her work, offering a grounded and original approach to human and spiritual evolution.
Anne & Peter
Anne and Peter met over twenty-five years ago in an intensive, experimental spiritual community focused on exploring the relational space that exists between us. What began as a shared inquiry into truth and presence has evolved into a deep and enduring friendship and a creative partnership grounded in trust, honesty and mutual discovery.
In recent years, their collaboration has taken form through a small group dedicated to exploring the relational field as a catalyst for transformation. The next phase of this work, The Space Between Us, develops this approach through new facilitated groups that continue to explore how transformation emerges in relationship.
Together, Anne and Peter offer facilitation that nurtures coherence, care, and authentic connection within this growing network of practice.
'Between-Us' groups offer the following
The Relational Field
When we meet beyond boundaries or fixed roles, something extraordinary reveals itself — a presence both intimate and vast, alive between and through us.
This living field of awareness is not something we create, but something that emerges into view when we rest in presence. Never-not-there, it becomes tangible through our focused, shared attention.
Within this atmosphere of coherence, an intelligence greater than any one of us begins to move - the subtle ground from which meeting, self-trust, and collective transformation naturally arise in the Between-Us groups.
Meeting in Presence
Discover a space of genuine meeting - one where the habitual layers of self-protection can soften and fall away.
Here, beyond the masks of identity, we encounter one another in a field of shared presence that invites authenticity, openness, and vulnerability.
In this atmosphere of trust, insight and intimacy naturally deepen, extending beyond individual experience into a living sense of collective awareness.
Trusting Your Inner Authority
Through the mirror of mutual recognition, members begin to trust their own direct knowing.
As one’s insights are met and affirmed by others, the confidence to stand in what has been realised for oneself grows.
This shared inquiry encourages us to lean into the unknown - to move beyond familiar ground and discover the deeper truths that reveal themselves at the very edge of knowing.
Transformation Together
As personal boundaries soften, we discover a deeper layer of human connection - one that transcends the merely individual.
In this shared field, transformation becomes a collective unfolding, revealing the emergence of a subtle intelligence that moves through and among us.
Members often notice shifts in relational patterns, gender dynamics, and a deepening sense of care and coherence that reflect the awakening of a more integrated human culture.
Testimonials: voices from the original group
Being in a group like this is remembering our true nature through exchanging, listening, questioning - and being together in silence…
as the personal boundaries between us melt and dissolve in the shared experience of truth and love, a transparency of being arises that we carry into the world.
People feel it and respond to it, without ever knowing what it is.

What I let go of was my tendency to contract, to hold on, to not risk changing. The relief of finding the heart is an ecstatic release.
— MJ
I was struck by the openness in the field of the group. I felt a holding of support, as well as an underlying love for people as they were.
No one was judging or preaching, and no one was trying to impress. There was simply the sharing of wisdom and gentle encouragement.
The lack of grandstanding and the presence of humility felt very strong - and something I particularly resonated with.
