01 · A letter from the founder
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.
— Luis Miguel Gallardo
02 · The Path
Each level leads to a credential pathway, builds on the previous, and prepares the next — approximately twenty-four months of part-time study, plus the post-program practicum hours required for the MCC credential.
Level 1 · 17 weeks · 102 contact hours
The foundation. Enter without prior coaching credentials; exit with the educational requirements satisfied for the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential. The witness is named. The Sacred Container is taught. ROUSER, ICEF, ITM, the Mandala, and Meta Pets are introduced. The lineage opens.
Level 2 · 30 weeks · 165 contact hours
The deepening. Enter with ACC credentials; exit with the educational requirements satisfied for the ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential. The Dark Night week. The Lineage Holder discernment opens.
Level 3 · 36 weeks · 248 contact hours
The mastery. Enter with PCC standing of at least two years; exit with the educational requirements satisfied for the ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential pathway, plus formal lineage stewardship for those called. The seventh dimension of ROUSER — 'the Held' — emerges.
03 · Four lineages, one integration
Full alignment with the International Coaching Federation core competencies at ACC, PCC and MCC depth.
In partnership with the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy — trauma-informed, evidence-based subconscious work.
Language, pattern and state as instruments of change, integrated into the coaching container.
Contemplative practice threaded through every week — the witness, the Sacred Container, silence as method.
04 · Original frameworks
Framework
The seven-dimension assessment at the center of the program — from Awareness to the Held.

05 · Who it's for
New and experienced coaches seeking ICF ACC, PCC or MCC credentials
Therapists, hypnotherapists and helping professionals expanding into transpersonal work
Leaders and executives who coach as part of their leadership practice
Chief Well-Being Officers, HR and People leaders building internal coaching capacity
Contemplatives and practitioners seeking a credentialed vehicle for their transmission
06 · In residence or online
Every immersive bookend — 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.
This is not a concession to the digital age. It is a deliberate design principle. The transpersonal practitioner, especially at master depth, must develop the capacity to hold sacred space in any medium — physical, digital, hybrid.
There is no premium pricing for residential and no discount for online. The choice is logistical and intentional, not financial.

Essay · Luis Miguel Gallardo
“I want to tell you about a conversation that changed a life. Not a seminar. Not a framework. Not a breakthrough moment on a retreat — though those have their place. A conversation. Forty-five minutes. Two people, one of whom was willing to be completely present.”
