DISPATCH FROM THE HEADWATERS

THIS IS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE AS INNER REVOLUTION

The reality of the Imaginal is what we make it—the shared longing to reveal and unravel every fathomable aspect of Being. So I made a Collective with a simple pact, that we let ourselves be the site of discovery and that we poke and prod at every thought and sense of who we are with the curiosity of the child's mind and the innocence of desire that leads us to realms previously unseen.

I believe that personal sovereignty and collective liberation are the same work and I mean the Collective to be a way to resource us for the world we want to see emerge simply through the act of knowing and being ourselves.

This is spiritual practice as inner revolution and the ancient truth made living again for today.

Let us wake in dream together.

The ecosystem of the spiritual community has been long influenced by hierarchy, initiatory processes, and exclusivity rife with difficulty and inevitable human fallibility.

In creating the Imaginal Collective, I wanted to return us to a potentiality of shared practice, diverse expression, and not just equality, but a willingness for cooperative learning and unlearning alike.

What what is the purpose of the Imaginal Collective and what can you expect from being part of it?

Serious, rigorous inquiry into the living questions the curriculum raises, in real time, with people who are actually doing the work rather than simply consuming information about it and being satisfied with the "knowing" of it.

Questions that don't have tidy answers being held in unknowing so that the friction of their discomfort might sandpaper away the dust and grime that's been shielding us from our unique vision.

Direct looking at the catoptric distortions of the colonial mind that become visible through this friction, not just with question, but with practice and with each other.

Practices inspired by what has been, but tested and updated for the needs of now, through rigorous personal gnosis and a trust in adaptability.

And underneath all of it: the slow, unglamorous, necessary work of knowing yourself with enough precision that you become someone capable of well-resourced and authentic contribution to the world outside the room, i.e. living as the clearest, truest you.

Members gather three times monthly for live circles, sharing and practicing the current curriculum together; and a once monthly deepening teachings—recorded meditations, lectures, and practices drawn from that month's material.

They also have full access to my growing archive of video teachings and self-study courses; and the monthly recorded Q&A, covering questions from within the Collective & from the Substack community.

Between gatherings, the community forum allows for ongoing conversation, to stay in contact with the work and with each other between circles.

The ones who find there way here seem to be the oddballs of the spiritual world.

They see the hypocrisy, the lies, the threads of assumption that get woven into practice and accepted as the only way. They demand more because they often need more, whether neurospicy, dealing with alternative physical ability, or just done with the bulshit.

Perhaps your gnosis arrived before their framework did, and you've been trying to make sense of it ever since.

These are practitioners serious enough about the work to question it, not accept it at face value, and demand change when change is needed.

People who understand, bone-deep, that knowing yourself is not a self-improvement project but a cosmological responsibility. Those who are willing to be uncomfortable, bewildered, and occasionally delighted by what that actually requires.

This is not a community for the spiritually polite. It is a community for the seriously curious, the rigorously weird, and those willing to do the work in their own unique, curious, and divinely-guided way.

If that sounds like you, we would love to have you join us.
