Transformative gatherings for enriching our lives

November 11, 9 – 10:45 am PT
Online Event via Zoom

In 2026, Seekers and Sages will explore the unseen in its many expressions, including the subtle energies of the body, the living intelligence of plants and the more-than-human world, and the forces of grace often described as angels, guides, or supportive presences. While these forces are rarely visible, their influence can be felt, sensed, and experienced.

Woven throughout the series will be themes of oneness, interconnection, and reciprocity. As in previous sessions, each gathering will include time for dialogue, group Q&A, dyad breakout conversations, and a guided experiential exercise led by the guest.


November 11 – Simon Cox, hosted by Christina Grote: Subtle energies

On November 11, Simon Cox joins Seekers and Sages for the final session of the year. Our conversation will center on Simon’s study and experience of subtle energies of the body, which western science still cannot measure or explain, and the possibility that the awareness and cultivation of these energies may set the stage for the arising of supernormal capacities such as described by Michael Murphy in The Future of the Body. As usual the format will include an exercise, this time led by Simon.

This session also sets the stage for next year, when the series will turn more fully toward Murphy's evolutionary vision that lies at the heart of ITP, nondual awakening, and the orientation of our practice towards a greater life.

The body, mind, heart, and soul practices of Integral Transformative Practice (ITP) offer a balanced way to widen the embrace of all that we are. These practices help us stay grounded and attentive while we hold what we notice, and what we don't yet understand.
