Sitting between Tier 1’s structures and Tier 3’s state-work, Tier 2 focuses on shadow work in a participatory, relational container. The stance is curious and collaborative: we work with what arises, not on ourselves. Expect intensity paired with clear agreements, escalation-through-repetition, and relational support. The compass is contact with reality: ever more coherent sense-making, ever less self-deception.

What it addresses

What it addresses
“Shadow” confusion: projections, judgements, assumptions, and desires get tangled, so responsibility blurs.
We teach you to recognize the distinctions so there's less shame, more ownership.
When we're " triggered", personality runs the show: personas collapse into reactivity or inflate the ego.
We're developing character (embodied motivational states) that can re-orient in real-time, not hide behind appearances.
Unmet expectations spike body and mood: dysregulation hijacks learning and decision-making.
Find out what you want, what you really really want, so you can stand with dignity and clear the air (at least on your end).
Skills without norms: Hacking through life isn't sustainable. Influence becomes manipulation, people become machines.
Unlike Tier 1, It's not about what "tools" you have to "fix" problems. We'll pay attention to the timing, and the fit of the person and the procedure.

Real-time re-attunement: we'll get riled up, but instead of going away to "self-regulate", we'll "co-regulate", folding what's alive into the present-moment situation so that we're aware and available even under stress. Each day follows the same structure:
Warm-up:
Wake the body into movement and play, connect with each other check your "pulse" before breakfast.Skill-Building:
We'll build on Tier 1 to track more complexity in preparation for when things get edgy.Capacity-Building:
Things get edgy. We'll repeat a flow of group practices to find our thresholds of growth or try something different from the previous day.Integration:
What happened there? Receive feedback, ask each other questions and collectively make sense of what might have felt like a mess an hour ago.
All of this sits inside a strong, deliberately demanding container, making depth workable, growth shared, and impact accountable.

Course Curriculum
Framing Lecture: Character Adaptation
See why we “snap” under stress and how to grow steadier—not by changing your personality, but by strengthening character.
Day 1: Working with Projections
Spot when you’re seeing your stuff in others, and learn simple steps to check, own, and repair.
Day 2: Stories We Make (of) Ourselves
Notice the stories you live by and practice rewriting them so your choices match who you’re becoming.
Day 3: Sharing Emotional Realities
Learn to say what’s true without blame and to hear others without defense.
Day 4: Finite Transcendence
Touch experiences that feel bigger than you and bring their wisdom back into daily life.
Day 5: Transformation in Agency
Grow your sense of “I can do this” by seeing more options and taking better, smaller steps more often.
Integration Calls:
After a couple of weeks, we'll organize a call to get a sense of how you're doing and make recommendations or offer support, if needed. As per Tier 1, you'll receive a practice workbook to help stay in tune after you leave the container.
