NonOrdinary offers content two different ways. For our free trainings and public workshops, content is presented in the traditional format of a linear course. You can find a list of these offerings on our Courses page. Our NonOrdinary Society trainings include our Library where we get… well, a little nonordinary…

We have found that each new concept, skill or state impacts our understanding of the previous. A single experience can ripple through your life in unexpected ways. Each skill and state can be used in a variety of contexts and at multiple scales.
We are in the process of developing a custom approach to learning which honors the nonlinear, fractal nature of the NonOrdinary, while also providing clear organization and ease of navigation, so we can accelerate and amplify learning together.
Here is what we are doing so far… help us evolve it!
Hybrid training combines the best of online learning with opportunities for in-person experiences. Online calls allow us to gather conveniently from all over the world and practice together. They also allow each person to learn the content at their own pace.
At the same time, there is no substitution for looking into someone’s eyes, or getting a hug.
Online learning is a great way to explore concepts and practice skills, and it gives a jump start to be able to go deeper faster when you choose to join an in-person event.
- Self-paced content online
- Live skills practice online
- In-person experiential workshops and retreats
- In-person, local meetups

NonOrdinary content is organized into foundational and building blocks which can be used in a variety of topics, contexts and scales. This unique approach will allow you to:
- See the many ways concepts relate to each other
- Draw your own unexpected connections
Explore how a skill can be applied it in multiple ways
- Access learing skills as you need them
- Customize your own learning path


With each Concept block comes additional associated content, which varies widely, from experiments you can do alone or with others to additional resources such as workbooks, stories, quizzes, or analogies to explore the concept through different lenses.

Developing the content this way allows you to search for what you’re most interested in (or needing a boost in!), and create custom learning paths which allow you to meet your needs. It also creates opportunities to share and build on concepts during the community weeks when members can post events and offerings. We will be expanding the options for this as we develop this approach.


This approach of organizing content as independant linkable blocks has been in development for over a decade, with the intention that AI would someday be able to assist in the creation of customized learning paths.
With the acceleration of AI, it is now possible!
We are actively in the process of setting up what is needed to be able to train our own AI assistant, which will exclusively use NonOrdinary content, in order to help you get what you most deeply desire and amplify your impact!


Embracing both flexibility and efficiency, it is also helpful to have paths, which create structure and organization as you learn.
Modules are made of Concept blocks focused on a topic; the content is laid out in easy, linear steps to complete.
Modules are combined to create Training series.


Each Concept block can be completed independently so you can track your overall progress without duplicating effort and see how concepts are connected. You can build upon previous skills and see how the new information is linked to what you have already learned.

Nothing beats experiential learning. With Live Trainings we explore a compelling topic by combining self-paced content and live practice with others through zoom calls and/or an in person event.
Live Trainings can be a one week intensive, or they can span several weeks.
Once a Live Training has completed, the content is listed as a training in our Library.


The Library is where we organize all our content. Currently, the content is searchable via word search, or can be browsed and searched by training, module, concept and extras.
We will be developing other ways of navigating and displaying this content such as recommended paths, quiz result generated paths, graphs and hashtags.
Learning in context accelerates integration and results, in the areas of your life that are most important to you. We currently offer three training subscriptions and five content tracks. Our training subscriptions currently include:

Personal
Live your YES! with more pleasure, impact, and aliveness. Apply the skills and states to your personal life and relationships.

FACILITATORS
Professional

Our desire is that you join us and live into your most alive selves while helping us evolve how we learn and create together. We know it will be even better with you.
Each concept (block) can be used in multiple contexts and scales. The learning is never done, but you build mastery as you make the interconnects, and embody skills and states in different contexts. This approach gives much more flexibility for searching and for creating custom paths. As we develop this approach, we will be using AI to help support personalized training series.
This difference in philosophy created some unexpected challenges with using existing learning management systems. For example, we could not find any current learning platforms that allowed us to have lessons be marked ‘complete’ across more than one course. Currently, the norm is that each course is seen as its own separate set of lessons that don’t interact with other courses; each of our blocks supports and is associated with the other blocks. We have therefore created a custom solution, which will be in development as we learn and evolve.
Fractals are everywhere in nature. They are never-ending, self-similar patterns. The patterns of branching trees, rivers, snowflakes, ferns, clouds, and our human nervous systems are all fractals. Zooming in or out, it will look similar. This is a very simplified explanation of something that is at the heart of leading-edge sciences such as Chaos Theory.
In the case of learning the Four Forces material, we see similarities to how fractals show up in nature. For example, you can apply the skills to organizations, and to every team within that organization, to every relationship within that team and to each person within a relationship, etcetera. No matter what context or scale you look at, the Four Forces show up.
Fractals are dynamic systems created by ongoing feedback loops. Similarly, the Four Forces inform each other in a feedback loop that creates both identifiable and completely unique experiences (think snowflakes – similar but each one unique).
It can be difficult to define a single concept block because each concept can be explored with branching, interconnected, and infinite variations.
I found myself, in other words, constructing a geometry … of things which had no geometry. Bottomless wonders spring from simple rules which are repeated without end.
– Benoît Mandelbröt, 1924-2010
We use the term ‘training’ to describe the combination of conceptual learning with experiential practices and real-world applications. It’s been widely demonstrated that experiential learning is one of the best ways to learn, and we have found this to be true. At the same time, when working with new states of consciousness and new experiences, having a mental “scaffolding” to organize and understand the experiences helps integrate and replicate them. Learningis amplified when we have a framework to make sense of our experiences, especially when in new territory.
As she was developing this approach, Trish came across Bodo Hoenen and his Learning Map. She was pleasantly surprised to find someone visualizing the block-style learning in a very similar way. Bodo has a comprehensive vision and is currently the founder of a new company developing an AI approach to new paradigm learning called Nolej. We have been in contact with Bodo and are excited to see what opportunities become available as he develops his technology.
