Subtle-Energy Bootcamp

6-Week Online Immersion, Nov 9th – Dec 21st

SUBTLE ENERGY

Subtle energy is the aliveness of life. It exists within us and all around us. It is our creativity, our vitality, our life-force, our desire, and our pleasure. Subtle energy is the marrow of emotion. It is the force that evolves the universe. It is the essence of wisdom, bliss, and love. Co-extensive with our material bodies yet not bound by matter, subtle energy imbues every living cell, each breath, and indeed every atom of the kosmos. Connecting to the energy of aliveness, I expand my consciousness and come home to who I truly am.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Calling all personal-growth warriors, holistic healers, visionary evolvers, mystical pilgrims, yogis, and students of the evolution of consciousness! This immersion is for the future leaders in human growth and development. You will receive pointing out, attunement, and transmission of energies in order to connect you with the Subtle Realm.

However, this course is not about chasing higher states. The purpose of this immersion is to integrate the subtle energetic realm into our lived human experience, thereby evolving our paradigm of consciousness. Accordingly, this course will be taught from a human first perspective with a grounding in somatics: fully present in my body and adult self, I welcome the experience of subtle energy. 

Working with subtle energy, we gain tools for healing, awakening, and creativity. This course is for anyone passionate about living their most vibrant life and shining their light in the world. At the end of this immersion you will be certified to offer energy-work with clients, students, and loved ones.

This course is for disciplined and committed humans who are looking to truly understand how to manage their energy from within. People who have been doing the yoga, meditation, and breathwork for years, but don’t fully understand how it’s working on a practical level. People who are seeking freedom through somatic and energetic sovereignty. People who want to understand what is it to BE energy, to BE life, to BE human.

COMMITMENTS

This immersion offers a powerful initiation and major step into personal evolution. Accordingly, it requires a serious commitment from each participant in terms of time, energy, and focus. Here are the agreements for participation in this course:

  • DAILY PRACTICE – 30 minutes per day of solo practice with the guided practices. In addition, each participant will be asked to choose a song or chant to sing daily as part of the voice activation and culminating in the song circle initiation at the close of the course.
  • ATTENDANCE – Wednesdays from  6 – 8pm PST Nov 9th, 16th, 30th and Dec 7th, 14th, & 21st; Saturday Nov 12th & Dec 3rd, 10a – 5p PST. Absence of more than two sessions without prior agreement will disqualify you from completion of the course. Full attendance of both Saturdays is required to receive the Reiki I and II certification.
  • WEEKLY SMALL-GROUP PRACTICE – You will be connected with a small group of fellow participants and asked to self-organize for a 30-minute practice session at least once per week.
  • ONLINE FORUM PARTICIPATION – The online forum serves as a communication portal for group announcements as well as a place to share experiences, interact with other participants and ask questions. This agreement is to share and stay current through the forum.
  • SELF CARE – Due to the rigor and depth of this training, and in respect to the physical, energetic, emotional, and spiritual openings that may occur, this agreement is to focus on self-care within the container of this immersion. This means, no use of psychedelics or participation in other consciousness-expanding ceremonies for the duration of the immersion; no use of cannabis or alcohol; and prioritizing sleep, diet, and exercise for the duration.
  • MENTAL HEALTH – Due to the activating nature of this immersion, participants agree to be in a mentally stable space upon entry. If you have severe unaddressed trauma, have recently experienced a psychic break, have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, epilepsy, or boderline personality disorder, or if you have suicidal ideation or intent, this course is not an appropriate fit. In addition, many of the practices in the immersion are contra-indicated during pregnancy.

TESTIMONIALS

In 6 weeks of the Subtle Energy Bootcamp, I made more progress in reconnecting with myself and uncovering my unhelpful programming than I have in a year and a half of cognitive behavioral therapy. Matt started the bootcamp by providing us with tools to inhabit our bodies deeply, ground with the earth, and connect with the divine that helped me create a safe container inside of myself to explore big feelings and identify the beliefs and blocks that were keeping me stuck. Initiation feels like the right word for this course–it brought me back to myself and helped me get a taste of the felt sense of interconnection that I’ve been longing for, and that has already informed my path forward.

I imagined the practices to be a nice refresher and I got something far beyond that. My intention was to have more energy, to do more, and to get a better handle on my chronic pain of nearly nine years. At about half way through, my pain was at an all-time-low and my energy was at an all-time high. I was so completely dumbfounded.
I loved the practices. On the final day in my practice during the morning working with the kundalini, I had a breakthrough. Something that I thought I had understood. Something that I imagined I had known for a while. But it wasn’t until this morning that I finally got it. I really felt it. I connected with the creative energy of life – whether it is joyous or terrifying. And I’m at choice. I expanded into a state of complete bliss, realizing that I had learned something incredibly important that I will never forget. This course blew me away.
~K’hiel Anker
Creating a consistent daily practice, challenging myself, attuning to and playing with my subtle energies, and having these additional modalities and practices has been completely transformative and a beautiful way to love myself and others better. I have come away from the course understanding that deep healing, consciousness, vitality, creativity, and connection to the cosmos and all living beings is all right there, accessible within myself, if I can learn to attune to, play with, and master my subtle energies.
