と in this sentence?

[Leilaure]

Hi everyone! I’m currently in a (non language oriented) training with both American and Japanese people, and I’m using the opportunity to practice shadowing/learning by heart/speaking my own material. A Japanese friend of mine translates my words (or corrects my translations), records them, and I work from there, breaking down her translation to understand structure and then shadowing until it flows and I can speak it seamlessly.

My question is about the sentence below. It’s the translation of this:
I can feel that being part of the field of this training is opening things up in my life and helping hold my process.

このトレーニングのフィールドの一部であることは、私の人生の中で物事を開き、私のプロセスを保持するのを助けてくれていると、感じることができます

I get why everything is how it is except that last と. What is it a marker of? I would translate it as “if” or “when”, but it just doesn’t work here… What am I missing?
Thank you in advance!!!

(disclaimer: not an expert, someone better should come and confirm)

I think it’s acting as the quotation particle. As in, it’s indicating that everything before it is a relative clause being acted upon by the 感じることができます. More or less, it provides the same function as “that” in the original sentence.

Aaaaah yes, that would make sense, especially with the 感じる there! Although I’m familiar with と used with a direct quote, I haven’t yet dived into the possibilities with interpreted quotes… Thank you for that link!
