The Transpersonal
Coaching Program

An 83-week integrated path across three levels. Coaching at ICF Level 1 (ACC), Level 2 (PCC), and Level 3 (MCC) — anchored in the four lineages, threaded by contemplative practice, anchored by the ROUSER assessment, transmitted as tradition. All immersives available in residence or fully online.

A Letter from the Founder

Why this program exists.

Welcome to the most ambitious transpersonal coaching program ever assembled. That sentence is not marketing. It is descriptive.

What this program is doing is integrating four distinct lineages of practice — ICF coaching, clinical hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and the transpersonal contemplative tradition — into a single integrated training pathway, while holding the integration with five original frameworks: ROUSER, ICEF, ITM, the Emotional Alchemy Mandala, and the Meta Pets Method. The result is not a coaching program with some other things added to it. It is a single integrated transformation architecture with ICF coaching at one of its facets.

If you walk this entire path — from the witness in Level 1 Week 1 to the master's transmission in Level 3 Week 36 — you will not be a slightly more credentialed version of who you were when you began. You will be transformed. That is the program's claim. That is the program's purpose.

— Luis Miguel Gallardo
The Path

The complete arc, at a glance.

Three sequential levels, each ICF-accredited, each leading to a credential pathway, each building on the previous and preparing the next. Eighty-three weeks of integrated curriculum across approximately twenty-four months of part-time study, plus the post-program practicum hours required for the MCC credential.

Level 1
ACC Pathway · 17 weeks · 102 contact hours

The foundation.

The student arrives without prior coaching credentials and exits with the educational requirements satisfied for the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential. Three movements: Foundation (weeks 1–5), Integration (weeks 6–11), Mastery (weeks 12–17). Three immersives: Day 0 Opening Orientation (6h), Mid-Program Integration Day (6h), Closing Retreat (6h). The witness is named. The Sacred Container is taught. ROUSER, ICEF, ITM, the Mandala, and Meta Pets are introduced. The lineage opens.

Level 2
PCC Pathway · 30 weeks · 165 contact hours

The deepening.

The student arrives with ACC credentials and exits with the educational requirements satisfied for the ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential. Four movements: Recalibration, The Competencies at PCC Depth, Expanding the Context, Mastery and Service. Three immersives (in residence or online): Pre-program Silent Retreat (12h), Mid-Program Residential at IIH (16h), Closing Retreat (16h). The Dark Night week. The Lineage Holder discernment opens.

Level 3
MCC Pathway · 36 weeks · 248 contact hours

The mastery.

The student arrives with PCC standing of at least two years and exits with the educational requirements satisfied for the ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential pathway, plus formal lineage stewardship for those called. Four movements: The Master's Recalibration, Master Applications, Lineage Stewardship, Mastery and Transmission. Three immersives at master depth (in residence or online): Pre-program Master's Retreat (18h), Mid-program Mastery Intensive (30h), Closing Lineage Transmission Retreat (24h). The seventh dimension of ROUSER — "the Held" — emerges.

Total program: 83 weeks · 515 contact hours · 9 immersive bookends (all in residence or online) · 3 ICF credential pathways · 1 integrated lineage · 4 lineages of practice woven into 15 transpersonal commitments · 5 original frameworks at the foundation.

In Residence or Online

The same architecture, the same depth.

Every immersive bookend in this program — every retreat, every residency, every transmission ceremony — can be conducted in residence at a designated venue or fully online. The architecture is the same. The hours are the same. The container is the same. The transmission, when it comes, is real regardless of geography.

The principle

This is not a concession to the digital age. It is a deliberate design principle. The container is what makes a retreat a retreat. The geography is secondary. The transpersonal practitioner, especially at master depth, must develop the capacity to hold sacred space in any medium — physical, digital, hybrid.

How cohorts choose

At the start of each level, the cohort decides what configuration serves them. Some cohorts choose all-residential. Some choose all-online. Many choose hybrid. The faculty supports whichever configuration is chosen. There is no premium pricing for residential and no discount for online. The choice is logistical and intentional, not financial.

The online container

Online participants commit to a phone-free, news-free, household-distraction-free container for the full duration of the immersive. An altar or sacred space is established at home before the retreat begins — a physical anchor that signals the threshold inward. The daily schedule is matched precisely to a residential retreat: same wake time, same opening, same sits, same teachings, same breaks, same evening close.

The transmission

The most ceremonial moment in the program — the formal lineage transmission at the closing of each level — is held in either format with the same ritual structure. Each participant receives the transmission individually while the cohort holds the field. Many graduates of online closing retreats report that the closing transmission was as moving and as fully received as it would have been in residence.

The 83 Practices

The contemplative inheritance. One practice per week, each calibrated to the work of that week. The toolkit you carry into the coaching life.

The Fifteen Foundations

The twelve transpersonal commitments — the witness, the sacred container, the seven dimensions of flourishing, the twelve awakened archetypes, the bestowal, the lineage, the dark night recognition, the Lineage Holder discernment, ITM, the Mandala, Meta Pets, and the ICEF measurement architecture. The conceptual ground on which everything rests.

The Models

The Integrative Transformation Model, the Emotional Alchemy Mandala (eleven emotion families), and the Meta Pets Method (64 cosmic cards). The transformation architecture, made deployable.

The Conceptual Ground

The eight transpersonal commitments.

Six are named at ACC. Two more emerge at PCC depth. These are not techniques. They are the architecture beneath everything else in the program.

The Operating Models

The transformation architecture.

Three original models by Luis Miguel Gallardo form the working architecture of this lineage. The ITM is the developmental scaffolding. The Emotional Alchemy Mandala is the operational instrument. The Meta Pets Method is the symbolic deployment. Together, they let the coach work at the depth the program asks of you.

Self-Assessment · The Anchor Instrument

The ROUSER assessment.

Six pillars. Forty-two questions. The contemplative compass that anchors every level of this program. Take it at Day 0, at every mid-program checkpoint, and at every level closing. The same instrument serves you as coachee (your own field) and as coach (read your client's field, and your own as you hold theirs).

Your Record
