What is Stages?
The STAGES Matrix helps you navigate life's journey of consciousness evolution.
It won't point you up a one-way staircase or place you into a box that has ceilings or sides, because every person is a unique mystery. But it can give you a snapshot that reveals your current self-awareness and perspective-taking skills, the simple underpinnings of "Who Am I," and your developmental complexity.
Who am I now?
Who have I been?
Who am I becoming?
As our consciousness develops we gain new insights into ourselves and our world. But in the transformational journey we also encounter challenges and confusions. It's helpful to have a valid map to guide the journey of self discovery and evolution.
Health and wholeness for all levels of the self.
We can manifest different developmental stages and states in each context, including peak experiences and stressful "shadow crashes." The STAGES model is unique in how it speaks holistically to health at all developmental levels of human experience. It supports "growing up, waking up, and cleaning up" across all aspects of the self.
Your developmental journey with STAGES:
a sequential curriculum.
