The Gathering

Come experience the synergy of Shadow, States & Stages with Kim Barta, Terri O’Fallon, and Kimberley Theresa Lafferty.
March 9-14, 2026 | Maui, Hawaii
Early bird ends November 15.
Meet Us in Maui
For the first time ever, three teachers unite in this face-to-face living dialogue with you.
Embody State Experiences with Kimberley.
Explore Developmental Evolution with Terri.
Engage in Shadow to Spirit with Kim.
We will lean into community, embody our divinity, and will master the most slippery phenomenon of all: bypassing.
We invite you to join us in evolving our joys and sorrows into wisdom that ripples through space and time.
Who is this for?
Anyone who believes wholeness and awakening naturally leads to positive social change.
Anyone seeking a community of support
Anyone forging a future of joy - even when the odds seem against it.
It’s especially designed for:
- Students who value a co-creative and immersive learning environment.
Yes, there will be teachings which illuminate the dance of Shadow, State & Stage, but this is not a lecture series. Expect an experiential and emergent structure, with time to play in the ocean and surprise adventures along the way. - People feeling stagnant, stuck in a pattern, or like they’ve hit an invisible ceiling. Sometimes a change in scenery is all it takes. Sometimes we need guides and companions on the quest. We always need a playground, a place to embody our practice and move things through. You’ll get all of that here, and more: in paradise.
- Practitioners entering or stabilizing a meta-aware state or MetAware stage of realization.
Research shows that community is essential for late stage development. We need to see ourselves in each other’s eyes and hold each other in love as we dissolve our illusions. Not to mention 3rd tier shadow can be slippery! We’re here to support. - People who want a community of peers who “won't project all over them." It can be lonely to truly live an awakened life because it can be tough to find friends with courage to awaken with all 3 pillars of consciousness. Come experience the peace and power of being with peers and facilitators who are reciprocal in the arising.
- Professionals in mental health, education, human development, and spirituality. Come for the camaraderie, stay for real yet playful deep-dive into Psychological, Developmental, and Spiritual awakening. Leaders in all fields, private and professional, will benefit tremendously.
Time to Harness the Power of the States, Stages, and Shadow Simultaneously.
It’s Time to Harness the Power of States, Stages, and Shadow Simultaneously.
We will explore ultimate reality, non-ordinary experiences, and practice spiritual technologies for awakening at every stage. There will also be ocean, waves and turtles.
Terri, Kim, and Kimberley will shine a light on bypassing and blind spots that limit our growth.
Spiritual bypassing looks like wonderful states that have no staying power, spiritual speak without the ethics, relative reality problems. You’ve so focused on the light, it’s easy to deny or reify parts, beliefs, shadows, identities. You believe you are the weather when indeed you are the sky.
Stages bypassing looks like culture wars, or interpersonal fighting when you can’t see the other person’s perspective, so you miss each other entirely. You are reaching for the stars without being able to stay there. Seeing divine wisdom while failing to live it.
Psychological Shadow bypassing looks like diving deep into the murky waters, and getting lost there, stuck in harmful habits, addictions, or compulsions, feeling dragged by the hair or freezing in confusion, cycling over and over again in the mud without letting it transform you into the golden light you are.
In this revolutionary program we collectively address all 3 forms of bypassing to accelerate personal and collective healing and inspiration.
If You’re Serious About Wholeness and Awakening
You must learn to identify each type of bypassing when it’s at play, both for yourself and the people in your world.
Without this skill it’s too easy to get caught in invisible loops, unconsciously cycling through all three sorts of bypassing on repeat. Stalling out on progress.
Once you clearly see each type, and feel them in your body through experience, they’re hard to unsee and it becomes deeply rewarding to practice.
We can’t wait to explore this with you.
