The Science of Awakening:  The Map of Being

Everyday we operate one of the most complex and sophisticated systems – our body, mind, heart and soul – without an operating manual or any training!    

The Map of Being reveals an integrated trans-disciplinary framework for how we operate.  It elucidates how our entangled neuro-psycho-social systems affect our perception of reality, keeping us locked into unconscious and divisive loops.  It illustrates the universal biological patterns underpinning the development of our personalities.. 

We are in the process of developing specific evidence-based intervention tools for day to day life. These tools will empower individuals, within a group setting, to re-wire their unconscious reactive and divisive behaviors, allowing them to evolve more healthy, peaceful and creative relationships with themselves and each other.

Emotional Well-Being for Kids and Their Parents

The quality of our mental health and our sense of empowerment as adults is greatly impacted by how we were able to process and navigate our strong feelings as children.  Our community is developing tools and practices to support children and their parents to identify, label, express and regulate their emotions, thereby strengthening their social and emotional intelligence and helping them navigate their world more consciously.

EMOTE
A “hide & seek card game with emotions”, educating the players about the ways our egos keep us from expressing ourselves fully.

Emotional Detective Stories
Interactive kids’ adventure stories revealing how our emotions give us clues to traverse life skillfully.

Tools and Practices for Teams and Communities

Often the good intentions of groups working together are blunted or diffused by our emotional reactivity, our inability to really hear each other, or act in the best interest of our shared purpose.  We are developing a community cooperation platform to support individuals and groups in overcoming these invisible psychological barriers to working together.  Our technology draws on Integral Theory as well as the principles of Agile that have enabled many organizations to clarify and embody their values and foster the coherent relationships, alignment and focus necessary to achieve strategic objectives.

Immersive Experiences:  Exploring our Inner World

We design outrageous Multi-sensory experiences that simultaneously engage people’s bodily sensations, feelings, minds and Spirits.  Our experiences awaken participants to all their senses — evoking direct encounters with wonder, awe, and wholeness –  promoting embodied connections to their intrinsic values, authentic self and universal experience of interdependence with each other and Nature.

Cardboard Confessions

One of the exercises of our TREATS (our word for retreat) was to walk together in the heart of downtown Seattle carrying a sign that described our individual core pain points. We experienced being vulnerable and transparent and felt deep oneness as complete strangers connected with us and shared about their pain points.
