We’re all just walking each other home.
— Ram Dass

*Spots are open for two new cohorts that will be launching in the third week of January, one will be co-ed, and one will be for fathers.

Unfortunately, there's no magic bullet for growth and change; what we know is that they seldom arrive overnight, and they rarely flourish in isolation. Growth and change require equal parts persistence and inspiration, and more importantly, they require a community to walk with, lean on, learn from, and share with.  

The Art of Change is year-long online program that supports healing, growth, and the cultivation of embodied leadership. It offers participants access to a small and intimate group practice space, with four or five members, who meet monthly for learning, inquiry, and support. Your starting point for the program is to envision where you want to be one year, five years, and ten years from now with your work, creativity, health, relationships, and any other pillar you wish to explore. From there, with peer support, you'll begin implementing and experimenting with practices, routines, and tools that can help you fulfill that vision.

Ultimately this program explores how we can artistically weave together the grounding energies of discipline, accountability, and commitment with the uplifting forces of creativity, self-compassion, and play to create a tapestry of inspired action that can support true generative transformation in ourselves and in the larger circles to which we are connected.

Road Map

  • Month 1: Goals, inspiration, and motivation

  • Month 2: Resources for the journey

  • Month 3: Soul: Inner World/Under World

  • Month 4: Spirit: Nondual explorations.

  • Month 5-11: Rebuilding the system through the Chakras (5-Somatic Awareness, 6-Emotional Intelligence, 7-Will and Action, 8-Relational Awareness, 9-Authentic Communication, 10-Creativity and Imagination, 11-Transpersonal Awareness through Leadership and Service).

Structure

  • Each cohort will have 4 or 5 participants.

  • Each cohort will have one monthly hour and a half-long call (for groups with five participants calls will run one hour and fifty minutes).

  • The group call will explore theories and tools connected to change and include experiential practices and reflective dialogues.

  • In between each monthly group call, participants will have one half-hour check-in call with a peer in their cohort that they schedule. Additionally, participants will be expected to write at least one journal entry a month in the group online WhatsApp space as a way of keeping track of and sharing progress, setbacks, and other relevant information.

  • The arc of the program is structured on a curriculum composed of monthly themes, and weekly inquiries or reflections to explore as you wish.

  • Lastly, each participant will receive a hour-long somatic-based coaching session each month with the facilitator (Weston Pew).

The theory and tools addressed in this program are pulled from various disciplines, including behavioral change theory, somatic-based mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, depth psychology, and social psychology and philosophy. That being said, this program's core theoretical foundation is based on individual experiential wisdom and the cultivation of deeper levels of self-artistry, intuition, and love, which lie at the heart of meaningful change.

Price: The tuition for this program $1,980. Monthly ($180) or quarterly ($495) payment plans can be arranged before the start of the course. Additionally partial scholarships may be available.

Participant Expectations: This program is for participants who are ready to deepen their commitment to themselves and, in turn, to the world. Therefore if you participate, the expectation is that you show up fully, to the best of your ability, for yourself and the others in your cohort. By doing this, you will create the space necessary for lasting change in yourself and your life.
