The GRAND FINALE: “Faster Together”

What many of us truly want is far beyond “de-stressing” – it’s balance and more enjoyment of life.  Balance between our personal well-being, our family, our calling or career, success, so we can enjoy a life well lived.  But achieving balance and joy takes more than a couple of skills learned online, or even 20 skills learned online.  Luckily, it also takes less than taking years away from your daily life, to live as a monk in a remote mountain monastery 😊.

That was the challenge the teachers, coaches and staff presented to ourselves here:

How do we engineer a place of learning that is fast-paced, interesting, and engaging, yet at the same time the learnings really “land”, the concepts stick, and habits are formed – all the while making sure the teachings are comprehensive enough to encompass all the core wisdoms to make a real difference?

We spent nearly three years researching, developing, testing, running small groups, running live courses, building a trusted community of 150+ people who would give us cogent, honest and useful feedback.  We spent the last year running two full-on trial runs.

We were driven by a unified motivation – let’s build something fantastic, something useful, something regular people can use in their already busy lives, and create an accelerated learning platform, rooted both in ancient and Indigenous wisdoms, and proven by the latest neuroscience.  And it must be fun!

4.A: Faster Together: Learning Wisdoms

The 90-day {Opening to Wisdom} class is open for registration now, and it starts on September 29th on Zoom.

Enroll Today: $995 or $95 down, plus 3x $300, but we can only keep this open until 11:59pm PDT on Sunday September 18th, or until we fill the 50 seats.

Here was our design criteria:

  1. To teach wisdoms in a way they stick, you first need a very diverse group of very experienced teachers who know how to actually teach, who do it for a living, at the top of their game
  2. You need time, but not so much time as to become a burden in people’s lives.
  3. People need 1:1 time with someone experienced. This was not possible with the teachers.  But it is possible with professional coaches, trained and certified by professional organization, with experience working with people 1:1.  (Our coaches typically charge $250/session, but they were willing to work with us to offer a package deal, for six 1:1 sessions.)
  4. Peers help. All those who want one will be paired up with a peer. People absolutely loved this, it worked so much better than we anticipated.
  5. During the 90 days, there are lots of optional activities to participate in, engage in discussions, share different angles.
  6. There must be lots of resources, videos, books, quotes, exercises, practices – all optional, engage with as much as you’d like, or not.
  7. Make it accessible and affordable
  8. Support global indigenous wisdom keepers, with a material portion of the proceeds

4.B: It takes a community

Enroll Today: $995 or $95 down, plus 3x $300, but we can only keep this open until 11:59pm PDT on Sunday September 18th, or until we fill the 50 seats.

We met all the design criteria above, tried them, and it worked.  Twice.  People loved it and told us so.

4.C: People loved it

Enroll Today: $995 or $95 down, plus 3x $300, but we can only keep this open until 11:59pm PDT on Sunday September 18th, or until we fill the 50 seats.

When we sat down and priced this at the teachers, coaches and staff’s current hourly rates in their ongoing businesses, it came out well over to $10,000, just to make it viable.  We then played with options, overlaps, asked the teachers and coaches to get creative, and we got the cost down to $1,995, which is just the cost of a few sessions with any of the teachers, or the six sessions with the coaches alone, without everything else.

But then, for this first actual launch, we’ve invited only you: friends and family, work colleagues and connections, people in our spheres.  And we made a deal with ourselves.  The deal is to offer for a limited time, specifically until 11:59pm on Sunday September 18th, a price of $995 and only for up to 50 seats.

There is NOWHERE you can take a 90-day course, with 8 teachers live, with 6 dedicated, custom sessions 1:1 with a professional, certified coach, and all the other resources for $1,995 – we looked!  Prices range from $1,995-$15,000, and that’s typically for just one or two teachers, and lots and lots of pre-recorded videos.  Plus, no one has invested the time and the energy to curate all these cross-cultural wisdoms, and translate them into useful daily skills, practices and habits this way.  And you certainly won’t get it for $995 (or $95 down with 3 payments of $300/month, if that’s easier) – but only until midnight on Sunday Sept 18th.

Enroll Today: $995 or $95 down, plus 3x $300, but we can only keep this open until 11:59pm PDT on Sunday September 18th, or until we fill the 50 seats.

Just imagine upgrading even one wisdom skill – empathy, or courage, or reciprocity, or boundaries, or discipline, or patience, or reflection, or intuition, or any of them, really nailing it, putting it into a daily routine – imagine for just a moment, what something like this would be worth in your life.

We are pretty sure that in these 90 days, you will be energized, motivated, excited and eager to join – and we can say this because this is exactly what our first two sets of students said and wrote down in their feedback – they loved the energy, the positivity, the practical nature, the laughter, the community.

Enroll Today: $995 or $95 down, plus 3x $300, but we can only keep this open until 11:59pm PDT on Sunday September 18th, or until we fill the 50 seats.

We are so excited to do this together!
