Esoteric School
Throughout Mystery School and the important months between Part I and Part II, students are prepared for a shift in consciousness ~ a shift away from our usual subject-object orientation into a direct experience of Unitive Awareness. The Nine Gates Esoteric School was conceived from that view of non-duality.

The Mystery School is a journey of waking up ~ an experiential, finely-orchestrated journey up the spine through the vibrational gates from root to transpersonal. The Esoteric School is the second half of the awakening ~ the waking down, gate by gate, of undivided awareness.
When the light of consciousness is fully realized and embodied, matter is “spiritualized”. Realizations unknowable by the thinking mind become known. These individuals have trained and developed essential skills to stabilize their awareness across all states of consciousness ~ waking, dreaming, dying, death, and conscious rebirth. They know they are not separate from the energy of creation. They wake up to the responsibility for the creative force of their own life, within the web of Life. They become purposeful, grounded in the Earth, capable of participating in the evolution of Consciousness. All suffering becomes theirs, not to succumb to but rather to humbly tend in service. They are not “special.” They have become useful!
"The most esoteric teachings of all, to the student dedicated to being of benefit, become the most practical magic of all, lived in plain view for all to see."

Program Structure
The Esoteric School intensive consists of 14 weeks of Initiate Preparatory Work and an 11-day Residential, with four Master Teachers and a senior staff of thirteen Mystery School Graduates. Initiates of the Esoteric School must complete the Mystery School as a prerequisite.
Esoteric School Preparatory Work (IPW)
In the 14 weeks prior to beginning the Esoteric School Residential, Initiates, Senior Staff, and Teachers participate in advanced training, which includes:
- Weekly practices [written, audio, collateral materials, journal assignments, etc.]
- Working with the weekly practices within a nested process of:
-
- Individual daily work
- Weekly calls with assigned dyad partner
- Small Group teleconferences / zoom calls, facilitated by Senior Staff members
- All-Group tele-gatherings with Deborah
-
- Google Group dialogue and sharing
- Tended, personal attention
11-Day Residential, In-Person Intensive
Because of their Mystery School experiences and 14 weeks of preparatory training, Initiates arrive prepared for a deep dive into waking down. Embodied as grounded Presence, Initiates have trained to embrace all experience as ever-changing. Rather than meeting change with resistance, Initiates empower their soul’s desire for repeated transformation. They know they are not a fixed thing, but rather meant to evolve. It is this knowing that pulls and cajoles them into continuing ~ to embody the taste of wakefulness from Mystery School and bring it back into life, into just right here… and into our Earth.
"Esoteric School prepared me to become a CEO and to be as useful and present as I can be to the Great Awakening we are experiencing in this world. It’s an invaluable education and experience for those committed to being way-showers in these times."
