Free Zoom Event – This is an intro workshop for the NonOrdinary Sensemaking course starting July 18th.
We’ve all had them…those moments when life is ineffably different. The feeling of pure love while looking into the eyes of your partner or child, or the feeling of a separate self dissolving into the bliss of feeling oneness at a concert or while dancing. Perhaps it was experiencing an out-of-time flow state while deep in a project. Or a moment walking in nature when you feel deeply interconnected with all of life.
There has also been a rapidly growing adoption of state-altering use of psychedelics, sacred medicines, meditation, and tantra, giving us access to other experiences of reality, or opening us up to ecstatic states such as a life-electrifying kundalini awakening.
Often, our experiences are random, or they only happen with the aid of a substance, hours of meditation, or extreme activities…but what if you could access these states intentionally and use them in your everyday life? What if these experiences inform what is possible as humans in this reality and can help us to make sense of the world around us?
In this free intro we explore:

Four types of states and how you can identify when you are in them.
How these states can give us a greater understanding of what is happening in the world.
How these four states enhance each other.
Why peak states happen and why we don’t stay there.
What kinds of reactions, symptoms, or after-effects can happen.

Learn how Trish Blain’s Four Forces Framework and Edges Map can help you develop skills to cultivate, navigate and integrate these nonordinary states.
This is an intro workshop that will give a taste of what we are offering in the NonOrdinary Sensemaking course (and related trainings), and will include an opportunity for sharing and mapping your experiences for added understanding and insight.
The NonOrdinary Sensemaking course offered by Trish Blain and Alexander Beiner, starts July 18th — you can check out the course here.

NonOrdinary Intuition Games
2023-07-12 19:00 - 20:30 | Online Zoom Call

We often talk about having a “gut feeling” or think of intuition as something that pops in randomly… but what if it is a skill that could be cultivated, expanded, and used every day in practical ways?
It is!
Like a fine wine connoisseur who develops a discriminating palate to discern subtle flavors, you can learn to access, navigate, and interpret the subtleties of the information all around you, refining your ability to sense, experience, and engage the world at every level.
One of the biggest blocks to expanding and clarifying intuition is the attachment to “getting it right”. Let’s take the pressure off and have some fun experimenting and playing with our intuition skills. There will be various levels for beginners and more experienced practitioners.
In these experiential intuition games, we will use a powerful framework which will help you take your intuition skills to a whole new level.
In each event we explore a different skill or two to give you new “levers” to access and use your subtle senses.
All levels are welcome.

Community Kick-Off BBQ - Boston
2023-07-09 12:00 - 19:00 | Trish’s House, 29 Elm Street, Somerville, MA, 02143
For many years, we offered multi-meetup groups to house parties. We loved these parties! We actually have a very small house but, there always seemed to be room. We will also be celebrating the relaunch of our community in person and online. This an open event, we are inviting old friends and new. All the Boston meetup groups will be invited. Bring a friend! We will be providing a light BBQ menu with veggie options and Nick’s famous pulled pork tacos. If you have a favorite dish or dessert you would like to share, please feel free to bring it along. Pulled pork is not your thing? We will have a grill lit all day to cook stuff up. If you think you might be able to drop-in, let us know via R.S.V.P. so that we can make sure we have enough food. If you are able to make it unexpectedly at the last minute — come on by! No worries about parking on Sunday in Somerville. You can park on the street with no permit.
