The Ground
of Being
Opening to Spacious Awareness
This class is an intermediate class for those individuals who can see how systems are interconnected and can identify leverage points to impact multiple systems simultaneously, and planet-wide for the good of future generations. Now you are ready to grow into a new level of awareness in which you release your reliance on your knowledge of complex systems as your base, and open to a spacious, groundless Ground of Being, also known as Concentration Without Support or Seed Samadhi in meditation terms or Construct Aware in adult development research. This can be a challenging transition for some because this type of awareness is not mirrored by society as a whole. It requires opening to infinite perspectives and seeing the constructed nature of human meaning making, which results in a sense of freedom, spaciousness and sometimes a sense of groundlessness. As you open to this stage, your whole view of life is called into question and you begin to understand awareness of awareness as a new baseline. This class supports those who are transitioning from the systems (Strategist) paradigm to a stabilized sense of spacious Awareness (early Construct Aware) as their primary vantage point.
If you are interested in joining this class and you are unsure about your readiness, please contact me. If I dont know you, I may require one paid private session or a StAGES Assessment to assess your readiness.
If you live in a country in which the exchange rate and your circumstances make this class cost prohibitive and you'd like to join us, please contact me.
Class Size is limited to 22 students.
Please plan to attend all sessions for maximum benefit. However sessions will be recorded for those who have a random scheduling conflict.
