A Travel Guide to Reality
A six week live adventure into the skills and states of consciousness at the foundation of how you experience and impact reality.
Life is woo, but it doesn’t have to be woo woo.
- Subjective reality is tangled.
We’ve outgrown our skills and states, and need a deeper level of understanding to bring everything we have learned and experienced into a more unified, cohesive whole. They also help you identify where there are gaps in skills and states that may be limiting you. - Consensus reality is broken.
Individuals and groups have gotten so out of sync, in essence we are living in different versions of reality. We are experiencing the breakdown of our social fabric at every level including our most intimate circles. As we learn the foundations, we have a way to untangle together, and coordinate to move forward. - Future reality is uncertain.
We are on the verge at every level. We have the opportunity to create unimaginable abundance or live out the worst sci-fi dystopian futures. Something in between seems unlikely. The foundations give us the skills to navigate and create at the alive edges together, in new territory.
We can obsess about what’s wrong or we can begin the journey of building what’s next while enjoying ourselves in the process!
What is reality?
It’s what exists. It is tangible, real, made of matter, space, and time.
And yet, science keeps showing us that the physical world isn’t physical at all. The nature of reality has collided with escalating questions about consciousness, intelligence, mind, and spacetime, even as we continue to act as if life is a concrete physical machine and dismiss anything else as “woo woo.”
Is there an objective reality that exists even when we are not looking or does it render as we look like a video game? Is there one reality, or do our choices spin off into a multiverse? Is there even a there there? Is it all a figment of a single mind?
We don’t know.
But there are convergences happening, themes that keep showing up across scientific and academic disciplines, generations, and cultures. Underlying foundations that are irreducible and woven through our human experience.
These themes also showed up in the development of the Alive Edges Approach, as founder Trish Blain spent her personal and professional life dedicated to understanding the nature of reality, why there is suffering, and how we can create a better world where humans thrive with all of life.
In this training series, explore a proposed set of foundations that give you access to new ways of understanding and engaging with this underlying reality. Expand how you can experience yourself, your life, and the world around you. Like primary colors these foundations give us the ability to create infinite art at different layers of reality.
Living from these foundations addresses challenges we currently face:
Passport ready?
You are 1 in 10,000
You know in your bones more is possible. You want to have a positive impact and are willing to go first.
You're not ordinary.
You’ve had some kind of nonordinary experience(s) that has opened you to the idea that there is more beyond the status quo, materialist version of reality.
You know there is more.
You don’t want to settle and accept “that’s life.” You want to live all-in. You have done a bunch self-improvement work, but know there is another level. You are ready for something that challenges you in a different way… in new territory.
You want fellow travelers.
This is not a solo trek. What we deeply desire requires others. You are willing to experiment, learn and share with conspirators.
Adventure requires leaving your comfort zone.
What to expect on your journey
Each week we will focus on the core vital concepts and skills that will give you the most leverage to start to navigate reality with new understanding and choices.
You will experience:
Expanded ways to navigate reality through four core concepts and practices.
New clarity with a comprehensive map to make sense of and navigate the current chaos.
Practices to unlock new realms of experience through states of consciousness with skills cultivation.
Opportunities to experiment in new territory with other adventurers.
Insight into possible gaps that may be limiting what you can access
Six live trainings with replays:
Preparing for the Journey
ONE: ORIENTATION
In this training we explore what can happen as you begin to access deeper layers of reality and how to work with what might come up. Learn why aliveness is your compass and how to begin to transform fear, anger, and conflict from their very foundations.

Expanding Experience
TWO: CONSCIOUSNESS
In this training, we look at consciousness as foundational and what that means for how we experience reality. We explore how to expand experience itself and develop nuance and layers of richness, as a connoisseur of life.
Monday, September 21st at 2pm EST
Shifting Perspectives
THREE: SELF
Without perspective there is no self to experience from. In this training we work with the foundation of agency and distinction of self. We explore how to live from uniqueness while expanding self as faceted and fractal.
Monday, September 28th at 2pm EST
Accessing Fields
FOUR: ORGANIZING INTELLIGENCE
Without an organizing intelligence, there is only randomness. For there to be reality there needs to be relationship between things. In this training we explore how to engage this underlying intelligence to expand your ability to interpret patterns, create meaning, and experience deeper relationship with life through consciousness fields.
Monday, October 5th at 2pm EST
Cultivating Lifeforce
FIVE: ANIMATING ENERGY
Lifeforce is the animating energy of reality. Without it there is only beingness with no desire, evolution, or creation. In this training, we learn how to cultivate and harness this vital energy and how it is fuel for power, eros, money, and emergence. Learn how to work with circuit breakers that may be limiting your capacity.
Monday, October 12th at 2pm EST
Living The Stance
SIX: CONSCIOUSNESS AGILITY
Putting the four foundations together, you develop consciousness agility and a new state emerges. Learn the stance to live and create at the alive edges, navigating and expanding reality as you go.
