How It Works

Designed for New Territory

Training → Practice → Real Life Application

While training is important, we know that content is only helpful when it is relevant and turned into lived experience.

We’ve intentionally designed Alive Edges to address the unique needs of the 1 in 10,000 that are leading the way into new territory.

The unknown requires new ways of learning, collaborating, and real-time application. You’re a vital part of the experimentation and iteration that are ongoing processes for our society.

The Four Foundations of Reality Framework

At the core of Alive Edges Society is a framework that has been developed by founder Trish Blain. Through three decades of direct experience, interdisciplinary research, and working with thousands of people, Trish kept finding the same four irreducible foundations at the core of our human experience.

Each foundation has a set of states, skills, desires, and edges that when developed, are key to:

  • Getting what you deeply desire.
  • Untangling and understanding human behavior.
  • Working with triggers and trauma to get to the other side.
  • Developing consciousness agility and expanded states.
  • Navigating and building at the alive edges.

Core Training Series

Three weeks a month there are core training series based on The Foundations of Reality and The Alive Edges Approach. This gives us a way to align, have a common language, and a foundation that we can experiment with and build upon together.

The weekly live trainings don’t have a prerequisite, but we encourage you to watch replays of previous ones since they aren’t repeated.

Training Communities

Alive Edges Society offers an ecosystem of communities and spaces that support you in customizing how you want to learn, engage, and in what context.

Each community offers a unique combination of context specific training, live gatherings, conversation groups, special events, and activities.

Core includes everyone in the AE Society. Additional training communities are accessible based on membership level, application, or an action such as taking a class. You can opt-in or out of any of the groups available to you.

We’ll be changing the groups as the community evolves. Click here to explore our current training community hubs.
NonLinear, Drop-in Training

Series → Trainings → Blocks → Custom Paths

Living at the alive edges is emergent and nonlinear. Each new concept, skill, or state impacts our understanding of the previous ones. Each skill and state can be used in a variety of contexts and at multiple scales.

While the Alive Edges Approach gives you a shared map of foundational skills, each path is personal and unique. We’ve designed both for the ability to drop in when you can and support our nonlinear, on-demand needs.

Community Weeks

We’ve found that integration and celebration are just as important as training. We regularly offer a community week for integrating your growth, celebrating wins, pause to reflect or acknowledge changes, connect more deeply with other members, and catch up on missed trainings. We’ll experiment with chances to have members offer their gifts to The Society if they feel called to it during this week. 

Special Events & In Person

We’ll periodically offer special events and training intensives, both online and in-person. We’re actively exploring ways to enhance the online experience, providing a jump start to go deeper, faster when we can be together in real life.
