Course Description
This immersive 5-day course is designed to reframe intuition not as mysticism, but as a critical and creative faculty rooted in deep observation, experience, and inner intelligence. Participants will explore ancient and contemporary approaches to intuition—learning to distinguish signal from noise, work with symbols and embodied cues, and apply rigorous, grounded practices to intuitive insight. Each day includes a structured lecture, experiential lab, and guided discussion. Tools from neuroscience, pattern recognition, systems thinking, and ancestral traditions will be interwoven to build a strong intuitive practice.
