About The Pathways Core Intensives

Our three Core Intensives are set up to produce fundamental shifts in perspective leading to full dynamic engagement in life.  Set up as experiential learning laboratories, participants transform old patterns, awaken new possibilities and learn skills for living extraordinary lives.  Our three core intensives all build upon each another, creating profound positive change and a solid foundation of new life skills in each person's life.

Personal Mastery Intensive - Breakthrough
PMI is an extraordinary experience of breaking through limiting life patterns and unleashing the potential of the heart and the awakening of consciousness, and a rich authentic experience of being fully alive.
*PMI is a pre-requisite for the Advanced Course and Stand and Deliver unless given special permission.

Advanced Course - Intimacy, Love, and Relationship
Significant change occurs through a shift in “root perspective”.  The Advanced Course takes you through a profound transformational process reconnecting you to love, awakening the courage for truthful intimacy, and igniting the experience of “Agape – the love of life”.  You’ll learn how to design and live a life far beyond what most imagine is possible.

Stand And Deliver - Leadership
Lasting transformation comes from profound personal experience followed by continued practice and practical application needed to solidify behavior changes.  Stand and Deliver integrates the work begun in the Personal Mastery Intensive.  During this 3 1/2-month training participants are coached and mentored in aligning every aspect of their lives with a deeper vision and purpose.  
Stand and Deliver participation for PMI graduates and is by application only.  Attendance at an Advanced Course is highly recommended although not required.

About The Pathways Initiations

Mys-ti-cism:  the experience of union or direct communication with the divine. Each initiation is designed to open the pathways to the direct experience of greater or higher truth, power, resource, or connection.  Using a variety of traditional practices such as music, movement, meditation, myth and ceremony each initiation awakens an abiding ability to shift from the ordinary daily awareness to a heightened consciousness with ease.

Heart Initiation*
This initiation opens the Heart Center through ritual and ceremony. This awakening creates a new center of consciousness; from polarity to profound unity, from ego to unconditional love, from will into direct access with all archetypal forces available to man. This is the entry into the deep psyche and symbolic worlds.

*The Heart Initiation is a pre-requisite for both the Shadow and Seer Initiations.

Shadow Initiation
The term Shadow was first used by Carl Jung to describe the unseen, repressed, or denied parts of the Self. The integration of Shadow material releases tremendous amounts of energy into the psyche to be used to become and express the full breadth of our human nature and potential.

Seer Initiation
Seer initiates the mystical states of consciousness; giving you direct access to illumination, direct wisdom, non-rational intellect and insight.

Mystery School is a 4-year depth work curriculum bringing the perennial wisdom teachings into today’s world. Year One:  The Ancient Mystery Schools, Year Two: Modern Religion, Year Three: Alchemy, Year Four: Embodiment Of Wisdom.     Mystery School pre-requisites:  Heart, Shadow, and Seer Initiations, and accepted application.
