The Program
“What is Sacred Engagement?”
Sacred Engagement is an immersive program for those who want to live more fully—and sense there is more to discover.
Rather than offering more ideas about awareness or relationship, the program invites you into direct experience:
✔️ Daily practices that bring your attention to what is actually happening in your inner and relational life.
✔️ Weekly live gatherings where we explore, reflect, and learn together.
✔️ A gradual, four-module journey that you can move through at a pace that fits your life.
Module 1 is the starting point for everyone. Modules 2–4 are offered for those who wish to continue and go deeper.
The four-part journey
Module 1 — Waking Up
Begin to notice the habitual ways you shape your experience. Learn simple practices of awareness and reflection that you can bring into daily life.
Module 2 — Clearing Away
Turn toward the parts of you that tend to derail, flood, or shut down connection. Explore how to meet them with curiosity and compassion, and how to loosen their grip.
Module 3 — Breaking Through
Reenter your world with a new perspective freed from the former barriers to mature connection with your inner life as well as to meaningful relationships with everyone and everything.
Module 4 — Stepping Into
Gather what has been unfolding and explore what it means, in your actual life, to live from a more grounded, responsive place. This module focuses on integration and ongoing practice of joy and beauty.
Each module builds on Module 1. Alumni are welcome to continue as they feel ready.
What the program asks of you
While each module has its own flavor, the basic rhythm is the same:
✅ Daily time: Plan on about 30–60 minutes most days for reading, reflection, journaling, or guided practices.
✅ Regular live session: A 2-hour Zoom gathering with your small group and facilitators.
✅ Honest participation: You are always at choice about what you share. The invitation is to show up as you are, listen deeply, and engage with sincerity.
This isn’t a course to dabble in; it’s a commitment to your own unfolding. At the same time, we recognize that life is full. The structure is designed to support, not overwhelm, your existing responsibilities.
Accessibility and cost
Sacred Engagement is offered with accessibility in mind. Module 1, the starting point for everyone, currently operates on a by-donation basis: there is no required fee to participate. Those who are able and wish to support the work are welcome—but never obligated—to make a contribution.
The modules
Module 1 — Waking Up
(Required starting point for all participants)
In Module 1, we begin by getting acquainted with the “inner terrain” you already live in every day. Through simple awareness practices and guided self-inquiry, you’ll start to:
✅ Notice how your thoughts and emotions show up in the body.
✅ See how your nervous system and emotions respond in familiar situations.
✅ Develop ways of pausing before reacting, even when you’re stirred up.
Module 2 — Clearing Away
For alumni of Module 1
The focus of this Module is on the persistent patterns that keep you from living with more ease, joy, and connection and then to look for the gifts embedded in your “flaws.” You’ll explore how to:
✅ Identify and reorganize the key parts of your operating system
✅ Investigate the tendency to blame and replace it with harmony and care
✅ Discover forgiveness as the ultimate balm to apply to internal and external struggles.
Scheduling for Modules 2–4 will be announced to alumni via email.
Module 3 — Breaking Through
Reenter your world with a new perspective freed from the former barriers to mature connection with your inner life as well as to meaningful relationships with everyone and everything. You’ll…
✅ Apply your program insights to everyday experience
✅ Experience interactions freed from the barriers to love
✅ Consider your connection to everyone and everything
Module 4 — Stepping Into
In this module you walk over a threshold that has marked the separation between your lived life and the one you know is ready for you. In this module you’ll bring your Sacred Engagement studies to a close as you…
✅ Integrate joy and beauty into your perspectives
✅ Master the ability to see awe and wonder in the ordinary
✅ Evoke sacred ground on which to stand going forward.
“Each new concept was delivered one small bite at a time, allowing me space to digest and practice.
I found new ease and deep joy with these newly acquired skills.
I am now navigating my life as a more deliberate and awake human being.”
