One of the greatest tragedies—or perhaps opportunities—in modern life and commerce is the obsession with outcomes. We are sold outcomes, we sell outcomes, and we celebrate outcomes.
Outcomes aren’t inherently bad, but when treated as the only thing, they can quickly become a prison.
That imbalance can be restored through a living relationship with process and practice.
As I’ve continually turned toward them, my relationship to my work began to change. A few years ago, the way I experienced my work palpably shifted from striving toward outcomes to include tending and enjoying what already was. Not surprisingly, the last few years of my work have been the most powerful. Not *just* in the realm of tangible outcomes but in my dharma. To put it simply, I have felt more able to honestly and consistently be of service to the whole.
This season, I want to walk the spectrum of process and practice with you and, hopefully, create space for us all to come into a more profound and fresh relationship with them for the benefit of our whole lives.
The months will be organized like any good process or practice—the beginning, the middle, the end.
And then—back to the beginning again.
The gold we seek?
To stop missing the precious Life before our eyes in search of an outcome that, from this state, could never wholly satiate us. And paradoxically, to become better at being wholly satiated by outcomes—in whatever form they might take.
how immersions work
Throughout three months, walk through beautifully paced:
* monthly learning, practice, and working workshops with corresponding exercises
* monthly business circles or office hours (intimate 1:1 mentorship)
* monthly community playdates or writing circles
* monthly complimentary guest workshops
the
flow
Welcome to the Q3 Immersion—Communicate.
The psychic, initiatory, and practical art of compelling copy.
Here, we will journey deeply through the three-fold spectrum of consciousness to copy.
Enter only if you are willing to completely throw away what you thought copywriting was and hurl yourself into the abyss of your full-spectrum humanity, only to discover that the best copy—writes you.
the beginning
✶ PROCESS x OUTCOME ORIENTATION (restoring the relationship between the two)
✶ MOMENTUM AT THE BEGINNING (how to become better at choosing wisely)
✶ DIFFICULTY AT THE BEGINNING (I Ching Hexagram 3)
the middle
✶ ALL OF LIFE IS CLEANING (experiencing everything as practice)
✶ MAKING SMALLER CIRCLES (expansion decreases while potency increases)
✶ MONOTONY BEFORE CHANGE (the boredom and breakthrough horizon)
the end
(and, back to the beginning again)
✶ PIERCING THE PARADOX OF OUTCOMES (bringing consciousness to unconsciousness)
✶ ONE TO TEN AND TEN TO ONE (how to learn like a child)
✶ LEARNING BECOMES UNLEARNING (building blocks of mastery)
