Workshop details 

AN IMMERSIVE, INTIMATE 3 PART LAB 

• CREATION 
• MANIFESTATION 
• TRANSMISSION  

This immersive week-long lab is for creators of all kinds–– writers, inventors, filmmakers, musicians, and  entrepreneurs––anyone who wishes to integrate their  spirituality and creativity to tap into the deepest source of 

inspiration and higher intelligence as they bring guided  work into the world.  

In the words of Carl Jung, “People don’t have ideas. Ideas  have people.” By breaking down this process of allowing into three stages (Creation, Manifestation, and  Transmission), we will walk together along an impactful,  sacred path designed for cohesion, connection,  incubation, and transformation.  

We live in a world of great distraction that doesn’t  encourage deep listening. We must reverse those outer facing sensory “searchlights” and go inwards. When you  dive into the field of all possibilities, ideas surprisingly find  you with a very specific intention. As you attune to that  purpose, you gain discernment, direction, momentum, and  flow.  

Over the course of five days, you’ll face the “demons” that  get in the way of meaningful work, including inertia, ego,  outer blocks, and inner resistance. You will discover how  obstacles can become allies in your process, helping you  to foster organic, sustainable partnerships, growth, and  co-creation.  

In this workshop, you’ll be guided through:  

• Nonlinear brainstorming to invite new and deeper  relationships to ideas. 
• “Hotseat Exercises” and small group breakouts to  foster vulnerability and creative risk-taking  
• Kinetic creation, such as yoga, meditation, and  energy balancing, to increase attunement  
• Radical pivots and adaptivity to meet obstacles with  poise and intelligence.  
• Case studies.  

Employing timeless principles from Vedic philosophy, this  class will use nonlinear brainstorming to deepen our  inspiration, along with experiential exercises. You will do  yoga, breathwork, meditation, and movement to tap into  the matrix of your creative capacity. You’ll recalibrate  intentions and goals. Every step of the lab will contain  practical solutions to push through whatever is in your  way.  

The lab is open to creators of all levels. You can attend  either as an “incubator” (with a specific project or idea that  you want to workshop) or as an “observer/participant” (to  glean knowledge about conscious creation by watching  the process unfold and also participating). In either case,  we encourage those who want to participate in the  incubator and get the most out of the lab to describe their  project in one paragraph, tell us where you are with it, and  where you want to take it. In another paragraph, please  give us a sense of your professional background and how  your project applies (or doesn’t at all) to what you’re  already doing in your life now.
