What You'll Get

Honestly? I have absolutely no idea.

Perhaps nothing. Perhaps "waking up" is only good for the sake of itself.

A great deal less certainty (in one way) and perhaps more (in another).

A comprehensive overview of metamaps — and the awareness that every map, including these, is constructed.

New places to play and connect — new ways of understanding "self," "other," and "world."

Integrally informed (hot) takes on enlightenment and that kind of stuff.

Drawing from Christianity, not just American Vedanta and Buddhism.

Lots of practice with other people.

A temporary community of likeminded psychos psychonauts.

Syllabus

These maps aren't territory, but they sure change where you go.

01
Construct-Awareness & Integral Overview — seeing the constructing itself, AQAL as one map among many, gross / subtle / causal / nondual state-stages, wake up / grow up / clean up / show up, ascending vs. descending, etcetera
02
Sean Esbjörn-Hargens' Ice Cream Cone Model — plus David Loy on nondual perception, the Tao Te Ching, and cross-tradition dialogue
03
Jeffery Martin's Theory — persistent nonsymbolic experience, the Finders Course research, the M-Matrix, the 41-minute threshold
04
Common Mistakes & the Ethics Question — completion project, misapplied wholeness, surrender as power game, why enlightenment and ethics are independent, growing up interprets waking up
05
A Course in Miracles — forgiveness, the dream of separation, choosing again, projection makes perception
06
Christian Mysticism — The Cloud of Unknowing, Richard Rohr, Jesus, the Bible, Hesychasm, the paradox of practice and already-always-divine
07
Integral Buddhism — Mahamudra (Dan Brown), Genpo Roshi, Diane Hamilton, JunPo Roshi
08
Space & the Relational Container — trusting space, what is holding space, love includes me, the we-space that makes relational waking up possible
09
Ontology — not materialism, not idealism, co-constructed / nondual, creativity as the fabric of existence, Almaas and essential identity, construct-awareness applied
10
Pop Culture — aliens, superheroes, psychedelics, siddhis, manifesting, binaural beats, money, death, rebirth

Syllabus subject to change in relationship with the course.

Threads Running Through

Themes

No threat to ego (bc there is no) Love & truth Time? Interdependence Sameness & difference Separation? Shadows Gifts & limits of language Relating impacts Humility & the neverending Gratitude, awe & service
Practice

This is about practicing and playing.
Lectures and materials are here to support experimenting together.

There's a ton of dope practices, frames, and insights around what is often considered the point of existence (and therefore hotly debated).

There's lots of video content, there's a companion written guide with orientation, perception, relationship, and integration. But the core product is building ways of relating from wildly new yet absurdly normal seeing-experiences in the 2 hours a week you spend practicing with other people.

In the Moment

Live coaching on awareness and recognition. Some coaching around emotional blocks as they arise.

Relational & Group

Experimental new practices that leverage other people. Waking up is more fun together — and the "together" is practice.

Tournament Style

Empirical approach: two practices per day, rotate every few days, keep what works best for you.

Throughout the Day

Simple practices you can do anywhere from coffeeshop to boardroom. Some flow, some focus.

Prayer Requests

Every session closes with prayer requests. Take that however you take it.

Irreverence

The kind that comes from experience and transcludes seriousness.

A Sample of What You'll Practice

Awareness of awareness • Collapsing past, future & present • Becoming the room • Shift into immediacy • Relaxing into experience • Swap 1st & 2nd person • Delight in feeling good • Turn towards all • Existential gratitude • Looking at space • Identity flux • Do nothing • River of experience • Meditating in chaos • Bedtime love routine • Examining the 'I' • Unprovoked happiness • Knowingness • Be triumph-informed

We're going to have fun, get weird, and realize we're already awake — you're reading this, so how could you not be? — and goodness and freedom and love is possibly the nature of being, even though we fail and suck at talking about it.
