Format

This course is for you, who have an intuition that there is more to the universe than what we are told. This course gives you a structure, and a map, of the landscape of spiritual technologies.

A balance of curated theory and practical applications.
Weekly check-ins with your fellow practitioners.
A private, encrypted chat for reflections in the group.
Shared notes to gather our learnings into a Book of Keys.
Access to 1-on-1 sessions for extra support.

If you are interested in in-person retreats and 1-on-1s, that will be offered later in 2026.

Facilitator

My name is Mattis. I began facilitating workshops in meditation and mindfulness 11 years ago.

That path led me to study deeper spiritual methods. With them, it's possible to live in peace while Creating along higher forces.

As a fellow practitioner on the path, I can provide clarity and structure to our learning. The answers will come from other sources.
