From Problems to Solutions

Usually when I write this newsletter, the words just flow. I think the thoughts and my fingers type, and then I send it out and enjoy the feeling of having connected with you for our weekly touchpoint.

But today feels different.

I started typing and found myself deleting the opening sentence again and again and again.

Why?

Because what I want to tell you feels too big to put into words. Making the video about it yesterday felt surreal as well. Despite this, I am committed to finding a way to let you know about what is cooking behind the scenes, so here it goes.

Three months ago, I wrote about The Problem with Psychology. It felt like a break-through moment for me where I outlined the two major gaps in mainstream therapy, specifically:

1. an inability to address spirituality
2. a lack of attention to community

When I sent the newsletter and accompanying video to a good friend of mine, he asked, "Can you provide a solution?"

Whew.

This had me stumped.

Like so many others in the field, I was calling out the problem but not able to give a comprehensive solution. 

So I stopped talking about that whole area for a bit.

In the meantime, several months ago my dear friend and colleague Monique Peck was getting woken up at 3 am with "direct downloads" of puzzle pieces about consciousness that she was pulling together into a course.

These two things felt linked, and yet we were weren't sure how it was all going to mesh together.

Over the Fall and the Winter I listened to Monique talk about the synthesis of ideas that was beginning to form and watched clients transform in front of our eyes as we introduced her teachings and methods. 

And so, The Presence Protocol was born.

Monique was surprised that she was the one who was receiving these insights and clarity, especially as she doesn't have any formal training in psychology, energy work, or mental health.

What became clear to her very quickly was the information that was coming through had to come to someone who wouldn't have a lot of unlearning to do, someone would be willing to teach the concepts without colouring them with other philosophies and approaches.

At times she felt out of her depth or unsure if what she was sharing with us made sense from a brain-science perspective, and yet she stayed true to what she was being shown and kept bringing it forward for discussion in our Founders Group. 

As we tested her approach on ourselves and each other, we became more and more convinced that we had stumbled upon treasure in the personal growth and healing space.

Unfortunately, the only people who were really aware of what we were discovering was a small cohort of about 50-ish people who had joined The Expansion Project community online.

We tried to encourage new people to join the community, but couldn't really figure out how to "sell" the idea of a life lived in alignment where you are able to rides the waves of the every day while remembering your spiritual nature. None of us in our Founders Group has a background in marketing, and the mainstream approaches to marketing felt too sales-y for this sacred work.

What we were shown recently is that it's time to take these teachings to a MUCH larger audience, realizing that The Presence Protocol is part of a larger movement in the consciousness space. We are building a team that believes in this vision and is ready to walk beside us as we roll out the phases.

And finally - the big reveal:

Over the last weeks, we have been synthesizing the main teachings Monique has received with the 1:1 psycho-somatic-energetic-healing work that Texas and I offer to develop a new therapeutic modality. In the months to come, we will offering training courses for others to learn to do what we do how we do it.

In the meantime, we are bundling all the material we have already developed to get it into your hands as quickly as possible so you can use some of these teachings in your own journey of personal evolution.

Keep your eyes open this month for self-paced courses where you can dive deeper into these cutting edge ideas and join our free Meditation Circle to have an experience of what it feels like to expand your consciousness while supported by community.

Thank you for walking with us on this journey and just a heads-up that things are going to start moving pretty quickly....so hold on to your hat!

Yours in Opening-Inner-Doors,

Dr. Saira

P.S. Texas and I will also be teaching live from a stage in Salmon Arm on the afternoon of Saturday June 7, so save the date to join us in-person or online and we will share details as they become available.
