How do we FOLLOW what wants to come THROUGH US into this world?

FOLLOWING LIFE
(9-Month Course)
“Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.” — Rumi
School of Following Life 9-Month Course
This course is for people who feel a shift happening in their lives.
It is for those who witness the changes in the world and want to use their limited heartbeats here to engage in meaningful ways.
This generally happens through an internal or external shift. We are changing inwardly and that change wants to have expression in our external world, or a shift in the external world is forcing internal changes in us.
No matter how this shift emerges, there is something calling our attention, a shift is at play. Learning is ahead.
Whether the shift is primarily occurring to you through external circumstances, such as losing a job; or internally, such as a strong pull toward a new direction in your life, the choice is really the same: to resist or flow, to fight or befriend.
Like a river that has been dammed but is now breaking, the water can bring devastation or opportunity. But the water and the energy from the release are pure.
“When deciding between what will have the most impact and where your energy is drawn, follow your energy.” — Rick Rubin
The Pull
This pull can take many forms, but it generally asks us to expand our ideas of who we are and what we think is possible. The shift could be anything — a new business, volunteer work, a creative project, etc.
We start to nurse something into existence that is not about our past ... and it is not trying to become a “special somebody” in the future.
Instead, we are tapping into a deeper intelligence beyond our condtioned mind.
Following this is less about trying to create some future desired state of happiness, but involves tending more deeply to the present moment. As we do this, we “listen” and befriend life as if it is here to teach us.
The present moment becomes our best teacher.
Then actions, be it launching a new business, book, podcast, or a volunteer project, takes a different quality. We are powered by a deep force.
“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”
— Rumi
If this resonates with you, there are ways below to apply either for an in person or online program.
It is over 9 months as a way to support and build community in this process, which in many ways is the secret sauce of the course.

Q & A
What Will I Learn?
We will initially dive into the inner dimension, since as Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” No matter what we want to bring forth into the world, the inner dimension is always primary. We will then bring attention to the outer dimension, exploring the forms of our effort, finding and receiving support, identifying our tribe, and the nuts and bolts of bringing an idea into the world.
Do I Need a Project in Development?
No, only that you feel a shift in your life. You may already have embarked on an effort … or are pondering doing so … or simply feel a strong resonance and wish to see what may arise through the course.
How Will I Know if it was Worth it?
I don’t know. We are focused on a process and are trusting outcomes. We are not trying to get you to “find your voice” or “make an impact on the world.” The focus is instead on listening, tending, and supporting. It is not that I do not care about results, I love results, but I know the best results, often far more than anything we could have managed, occur when our full attention is in the process.
What Skills Will I Learn?
Learning to listen to and engage with life.
Will Everyone Have Similar Projects?
No. The efforts that are moving through those in the group may differ significantly, but the process is always the same: sensing, allowing, tuning in, listening, naming our edges and going towards instead of away.
You may want to create the next Google or simply follow your passion to learn how to dance … or learn to do nothing and be OK with that. What matters is that your energy is drawn to it.
Who is this for?
Anyone who feels the pull and for whom this makes sense to them.
I don’t think we need more of any particular vocation. We do not need more engineers or more mindfulness teachers per se … The world needs us knowing what is true for us, and receiving and allowing things to come from the inside out, not the outside in.
Should I Apply? How Do I Know This is Right for Me?
If the description makes no sense to you, this course is likely not right for you at this time. Or if you feel the need to have very specific goals and are dead set on meeting them, this is also not likely right, as we will follow a more organic process. There are many other options you have for that other kind of approach.
Please only apply if there is a very strong resonance with this invitation.
What is the Process for Selecting Participants?
We will look over the applications, and likely interview people, then see where there are the best fits. If you are not chosen, it does not say anything about you as a person or the worthiness of your efforts in the world. It only means that we are either already full or your particular approach we may not be able to support.
We are limiting this to a max of 25 people, so depending on how many people apply, we may only be able to take a certain amount.
Can I Apply for a Scholarship?
Yes, please do so here. We only have space for a small number of attendees.
What Are the Costs?
$3,000 for Online
$10,000 for in Person
What Do Costs Cover?
Teachings, groups, support, etc. Then if you are joinnig an in person series, travel and housing for the retreats is not included and is up to each participant.
