We don’t think our course is the best next step for everyone! Other things may be more important for you to live a good life.

What might you need instead?

Broadly, we endorse what Sasha Chapin wrote about here—about finding self-love.

• IFS
• Joe Hudson
• Glendin focusing,
• Bio-emotive
• psychedelic therapy
• Byron Katie
• Metta and Samadhi meditation
• Attachment repair work
• Sacred sexuality / neo-tantra and shamanic modalities
• Feeding your Demons
• Core Transformation
• Other therapy modalities that involve addressing wounded or lost or cut off parts of yourself such as inner bonding. One name for the category is “shadow work”.

Some of these have changed our own lives significantly and helped people we love. If you think you could benefit from these, we urge you to go to them before taking our course.

Where we fit

When people do this kind of emotional work, they often discover big parts of themselves that need spaces for expression. For some people, they don’t need to do design work, to find those spaces: maybe they just need to enroll at clown school, or dress sexier, or something like that.

Others will find they do need to design or invent, at least on a local level, social structures to support them in living meaningfully. Our course will help with that.

<aside> ◼️ This is a tricky audience for us to find. Many are driven to design or invent (to change the world) because they are dissatisfied with themselves: they feel they're not a good person unless they have a huge positive impact, or they throw themselves at work to avoid their own uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. If these are your motivations to design and invent, please do this self-love stuff before our course!
