WHY STUDY HUMAN DEVELOPMENT?

Scored and debriefed by founder Terri O’Fallon, a sentence stem completion begins your Mind’s I journey. Assessments are at the heart of the STAGES model, locating your current developmental perspectives  and illuminating shadows, aspirations, leading-edge skills and so much more. You will receive a  written report plus a one-on-one meeting with Terri to discuss key findings. Many people report feeling more “seen” by this process than ever before.

You will study each stage in depth, sequentially, one month at a time. A comprehensive paper on each stage will be provided each month that includes links and references to hours of additional articles, videos and resources, facilitating insight. These papers contain the most detailed information available on each stage’s embodiment and expression, as well as its historical emergence and development over time. Terri shares this material exclusively with Mind's I cohorts.

We meet twice per month on Thursdays as a full cohort: once for a two-hour teaching session led by Terri & Kimberley and once for a Q&A led by the curiosity of the group. There are two cohort sessions per month, on Thursdays. You can join a session at either 11 PM MT or 4 PM MT.

We’re a community of open-minded seekers (and finders) from many generations and cultures around the world. The questions asked, stories shared, and experiences revealed in this confidential container are a real treasure. Friendships built here can last well beyond the year of the Mind’s I class.

Each month, you will revisit the period of your life when you were moving through that stage and write an autobiographical chapter from its perspective. Not “as you are now looking back,” but as you might have been then. You draw on your own memory, interview people who knew you, review photos and diaries, and engage in activities and meditations led by our teachers to access even preverbal stages. Many Mind’s I alums believe this piece alone is worth the cost of admission. 

We meet in partner pairs and small groups to support each other’s chapter outlines and discuss the stage of the month. The learning here is incredible, but the best part? Realizing with certainty that you are not alone. We’re unique, it’s true, yet we experience the same states and stages as we grow. When we see this in each other, even in generations apart on opposite sides of the planet, we see the larger picture of evolution unfolding and learn to trust the journey.

A leading framework for integral holistic models of psycho-spiritual development and potential. Backed by years of research and applied in numerous fields, it defines 12 levels in the experience of human meaning-making. 

It functions as a map of evolving consciousness (“perspective taking” or “ego-development”) that points to health and wholeness at all levels of our being. The Mind’s I is an opportunity to gain first-person realization of this model, both personally and professionally. 

• The primary confusions at each stage that must be resolved in order to evolve, as well as practices for clearing them effectively and determining whether they’ve been cleared.

• The difference between state experiences and stage developments, both theoretically and experientially, plus how esoteric & cognitive states interact with developmental stages as we grow.
  

• Practices to discern and bridge developmental gaps and embody a robust, healthy self at every stage.

• The three primordial pairs of meaning-making that must be separated and brought back together evolve into the MetAware tier.

• Questions like: can we access the full maturity of our connection with something greater than ourselves at earlier developmental levels?  If so, could this stop our developmental growth? (And did that happen to you?)

• How to recognize and work with psychological shadow as it expresses through the stages, and how to work with introjects, projections and psychological parts. To reclaim the energy tied up there, we must first be able to find them.

2 monthly Thursday sessions, 120 minutes each, beginning September 12 (with one exception: three sessions in the month of May.) All live teaching session and Q&A dates can be found HERE.
