What Is The Expansion Project
The Expansion Project was born from a simple but powerful truth. So many people are doing the work. They’ve gone to therapy, read the books, taken the courses, and even explored psychedelics. And yet, something still feels stuck and for many life still feels like a battlefield.
We created this work for those who crave to go deeper. For people who want more than quick fixes or mindset shifts. For those who are starving for real, lasting change that starts from within and shows up in every part of their lives.
Our approach is rooted in compassion and clarity. At the heart of what we do is The Presence Protocol, a practical and powerful process that integrates psychology and energy. It empowers people to take ownership of their lives, releasing the emotional patterns they are holding, live from the heart, and create true freedom.
Our approach is not about bypassing pain or forcing transformation. It is about gently meeting yourself at the root of what’s holding you back and learning how to move through it with presence and alignment.
We believe healing is not just something you think about. It is something you feel, live, and embody. When that happens, everything begins to shift. This is the expansion people have been looking for.
"The Founding Four"
Two couples sat down for dinner, and a friendship started to grow... and the rest became our mission.
The Founding Four are committed to bringing this new modality to the mainstream, as mental health supports are lacking a comprehensive framework that includes consciousness and spirituality in the journey back to wholeness.

The Invitation
At The Expansion Project, we believe diversity is our strength. A variety of perspectives and experiences enriches our community, deepens our personal and collective learning, and helps us heal blind spots.
We invite you to show up as your whole self, and are interested in really knowing you. We care about all the elements that make you uniquely you, including your cultural and ethnic heritage, your sexual orientation, your gender identity, your religious beliefs and spiritual perspectives, your family circumstances and relationship background, your experiences with addiction and/or recovery, your age and stage of life, your neurodiversity and mental health status, your physicality, your relationship to finances and prosperity, your history with the law, your past and current life experiences, and any other aspects that contribute to your personal story.
There is a chair for you in our circle, and we will defend and protect that chair for each and every person who joins our community. We are an inclusive, global gathering, and encourage you to release all damaging judgements of yourself and others, because there is no room for hate here.
The Team
Our team is the heart of The Expansion Project. Trained in Advanced Consciousness Therapy, they are not just your average mental health practitioners. They are presence-holders - deeply compassionate, authentic humans who continue walking through their own healing. Each person brings not only professional expertise, but lived experience, humility, and a passion for helping others come home to themselves.
Our team is committed to staying present, without an agenda, so others can feel safe enough to heal, grow, and expand.
