In this episode, Bernhard and Laura discuss what it means to "cross the threshold" in light of the Great Work and what it takes to transcend the Matrix. They talk about being red-pilled from an esoteric perspective, what it means to "answer the call", the struggle between ego and soul, soul fragmentation and soul retrieval, matrix temptations and distractions, Organic Portals and young souls, the necessity for spiritual activism and the embodiment of a new consciousness, and more.

Our 12-week online group coaching program "TIME OF TRANSITION: EMBODIED SOUL AWAKENING” (starting November 22nd) filled up in record time.
Thank you to everyone who has decided to “answer the call” (so to speak) and join us as we take this journey of inner/outer Psychological/Spiritual self-work in a community of beautiful people. It touches us to see how many people are realizing the necessity of doing this kind of work in community during these chaotic, but transformative times.
So due to the unexpectedly high demand, we scheduled a NEW PROGRAM starting in the NEW YEAR.

The new program will be from January 3rd - March 26th, 2022.
It’s already filling up with people who we couldn’t make it into the last group.
