ATM Level 1 - Module 1 - Foundations (In-Person)

*NOTE: Registration must be completed on AwakenToMeaning.com*

Our transformational training program designed to help you enrich meaning in life through transcending your experience of self, others and the world. Or, as we like to frame it, a program that offers opportunities across “Wake Up, Clean Up, Grow Up, Show Up”.

This program integrates previous stand-alone offerings into a comprehensive framework, designed for individuals seeking to deepen their exploration of experiences and development of skills. Its purpose is twofold: to provide ongoing support for those continuing on the journey of self-discovery and personal growth (“unfolding”), and to offer guidance and mentorship to those ready to assist others on this path.
It all begins with Level 1.

Level 1 is a beginner practitioner course, which is modularized and can be taken online over 4 half day sessions or in-person via a weekend intensive format. The course aims to introduce people to many different practices that span the four domains theorized as necessary to develop wisdom. These are Dialogue, Imaginal, Mindfulness and Embodiment, or DIME.

The four internal modules of Level 1 are:

Module 1 – Foundations

• We’ll introduce and reinforce some key concepts and basic practices that help ground your experiences throughout the program.

Module 2 – Relational Attunement & The Imaginal

• We’ll start with the basics of relational practice and use a culminating authentic-relating practice called ‘T-Group’ (amplifying present moment awareness and bringing into relationship), as well as introduces the Imaginal domain through practice via the practices of ‘Philosophical Fellowship’ (an imaginal exercise exploring an excerpt of text from an author or sage) and the ‘Socratic Imaginal Self Reflection’ (a guided, creative and emergent experience)

Module 3 – Embodiment & Philosophical Practice

• We’ll get more in touch with our bodies to help balance the mind/body connection, such that when we are practicing, we are involving more of the whole self. We’ll also get introduced and practice ‘Virtuosity’ (an accessible philosophical group practice of exploring virtue)

Module 4 – More Relational Attunement & Philosophical Practice

• Here we’ll move further into the exploration of relational and philosophical practice with practices like “Semi-Circling” (a bridging practice for Relational Attunement) and the “Socratic Search Space” (a group process that addresses the tension between the sometimes ambiguous expression of philosophy to the big picture and losing the detail needed to ‘resolve’ personal problems).

While it is encouraged that the four modules are taken in numerical order, it is not a requirement. Registration for Level 1 can be completed in a mix of online or in-person modules, or when available online or in-person weekend intensives.

Participants who have completed the four modules gain access to weekly “Virtuosity / Dialectic-into-Dialogos’ practice on ATM.
