The aim of this first module is to lay out primarily from an intellectual/conceptual perspective, the field of human development and personal growth. We believe it is important to understand and get a sense of the context and field within which we are working. Once we know the bigger picture, we find it easier to apply ourselves to the task at hand.

The module will start with an introductory study of the main models and frameworks of the stage-like expansion of human awareness. The works and models of Ken Wilber (AQAL), Clare Graves, Don Beck and Chris Cowan (Spiral Dynamics) will be of primary interest.

Participants will also conduct an assessment of their current reality from all aspects of their life. Unless we know from an objective viewpoint where we are, we cannot begin to consider what we want to create, nor how to go about it.

And most importantly, we will actually start with some new actions: a simple meditation practice and some life simplifying practices.
