the 9 gates project:
opening to the gifts & challenges of this sacred life
We’re living in unprecedented times. Significant shifts are taking place on the planet – shifts in consciousness, in healing, and in understanding our interconnectedness with each other, the natural world, and the cosmos. This is a time of incredible transformation for humanity. Can you feel it?
Originally conceptualized as a process of exploring the second half of life, The 9 Gates Project has been reconfigured to explore the gifts, challenges & tasks of being alive at this extraordinary time in human evolution. This series – inspired by the work of Angeles Arrien – explores eight foundational (plus one integrative) metaphorical Gates of Wisdom – thresholds of transformation reflective of these times.
Self-study modules will be augmented by monthly gatherings, as well as integrative experiences featuring Breathwork sessions, 1:1 Transformational Coaching sessions, and an optional Plant Medicine Ceremony (the 9th Gate) offered at the end of the series. Together, these experiences work to deepen into the gate themes under review.
2023-2024 Dates:
- Registration Deadline: September 1, 2023
- Series begins: September 7, 2023
