"Now and again a daring soul, desiring immortality, has looked back and found themselves." - Katha UpanishadJoin us online for a five-week journey to your deepest essence.
The oldest mystical traditions promise that to 'Know Thyself' leads to both an end to suffering and unshakeable conviction. In the psychedelic experience it is immediately clear that notions of who you are, and what is real are neither solid nor obvious.
This five-week live online course will guide, support and encourage you to turn yourself inside out, deconstruct all your beliefs, burning away illusions until only the truth can survive.
Who or What Are You?
This fundamental questions will be supported by by tools, exercises and meditations from the most ancient traditions to recent scientific insights. These weeks will support, guide and encourage this incredible question that only you can answer for yourself.
You will learn very specific enquiry techniques that expand your awareness and focus your mind, as well as time tested tools that delve deeper and deeper into your core identity. Through a series of group contemplations, partnered exercises and guided meditations you can expect beliefs to be challenged, perceptions to be shifted and a fundamental evolution in your relationship to life, the universe and everything.
This work can be both liberating and exhilarating, but also challenging. Fundamental assumptions are swept away. Being in a community of people sympathetic to your endeavours is incredibly valuable. Expect a gathering of the curious, courageous and insatiable to support and encourage on another.
"Where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world." - Joseph Campbell
MEETING ONLINE
Isolation, seclusion and interruption to normal routine are time honoured traditions amongst mystics and meditators. Now is a unique moment in history when being alone can combine with being together. We will meet on Zoom, for five Monday evenings with optional bonus sessions available on Wednesday evenings. It's important to treat this time with respect - create a quiet safe space where you won't be interrupted. Use your computer rather than a phone so the display is clear and so that your hands can be free. Get the lighting right, and have a notepad, some water and sit comfortably, upright and ready for adventure. I look forward to you joining.

Feedback from the previous course:
★★★★★ “Amir is an absolutely fantastic facilitator of self-enquiry. No rules. No dogma. Just strategies for investigating the mind and the self (if there is one). Whatever you find is true for you. This all works surprisingly well on Zoom!” - Frank
★★★★★ "…it feels quite radical. I was drawn to the course from a place of naive curiosity and walked away without a self…or at least one that doesn’t appear to be there when sought, but also continues to run my life. So that’s odd. And endlessly fascinating! Amir wonderfully weaves together techniques and theories from different traditions and mystics, but the emphasis is on experiencing and investigating for yourself which is where it gets really juicy! - Alice
★★★★★ “The sessions on Zoom worked surprisingly well and it was great to see faces from around the world participate. Overall, the balance between meditations, experiments and direct knowledge imparted was perfect, inviting you to come to your own conclusions but never leaving you adrift. After taking the course, you will never see yourself the same again!” - Andrew
★★★★★ “I was impressed by how well organised the Zoom sessions were compared with many I've attended … The course topics and exercises were fascinating, the delivery was good natured and engaging, and it covered a huge amount of ground in a short space of time.” - Abi
★★★★★ “I had some profound insights and realisations whilst on this course, often at times when I was least expecting it. Things starting to make sense and come together like pieces of a jigsaw and I was able to realise or remember who/what I really was in the grand scheme of things. I don't want to give away these insights as it's like spoiling the end of an epic film for someone. Try it yourself and see.” - Jessica
