It’s no secret that meditation is good for you. Study after study tells us it is one of the best things we can do for our health and well-being and that it even plays a pivotal role in higher adult development.
But what if the health benefits of meditation were just the tip of the iceberg? What if there was a meditation practice that could propel you far beyond optimal health and well-being into an accelerated evolutionary process, unleashing a latent set of “supercapacities” that would elevate your performance, fulfillment and impact in every area of life?
Drug companies are racing to develop the new super drug that could unlock our untapped brain power and higher potential, but what if a simple practice we could perform in just 30 minutes a day was all we needed to unleash our supernature?
Could meditation be the key to unlocking our full human potential?
Spiritual traditions have long known about the profound possibility of spiritual awakening. Indeed, the liberating realization of Enlightenment has always been the ultimate goal of the spiritual quest.
If you’ve had even a glimpse of this profound spiritual potential, you know that an extraordinary, enlightened life is possible—a life filled with meaning and purpose, in which you have access to a seemingly limitless well of inspiration, wisdom, love and creativity.
Yet for thousands of years, the supreme goal of Enlightenment has been shrouded in mystery, believed to be accessible only indirectly through decades (or even lifetimes) of repetitive and often tedious meditation practice.
Now, thanks to the pioneering efforts of spiritual teacher Craig Hamilton and a bold team of consciousness researchers, all of that is about to change.
A series of breakthroughs at the frontiers of meditation research have recently brought forth a powerful new meditation system that can give you direct access to “awakened consciousness,” unleashing a miraculous set of extraordinary abilities with the power to uplevel your life in ways unimaginable to your former self.
Craig calls it “The Practice of Direct Awakening.” And it is rapidly turning every assumption we’ve had about spiritual practice and Enlightenment on its head.
The groundbreaking discovery behind the practice of Direct Awakening is that it doesn’t take decades of practice to access the miracle of awakened consciousness.
Through a precise set of simple but profound practices, it’s possible to directly tap into the power and wisdom of this superconsciousness right now and allow its energy to infuse every aspect of your life.
When we learn to access this latent dimension of consciousness, we discover the greatest miracle of all, which is that this “essential supernature” already contains the extraordinary capacities that most of us are striving to develop.
It gives us access to profound intuitive wisdom, deep emotional resilience, genuine empathy, remarkable flexibility, surprising creativity and a host of other “supercapacities.”
Now, instead of spending years doing “indirect” practices to try to develop all these abilities, you can literally practice tapping directly into the source of these capacities every single day.
What’s more, when you learn to directly access awakened consciousness, your life finally begins to make profound sense. You awaken to a deep and abiding sense of authentic meaning and purpose and an easeful sense of freedom and flow begins to permeate everything you do.
That’s the miracle of Direct Awakening.
What if, instead of spending the next 10, 20, or 30 years doing mindfulness practices, watching your breath or repeating mantras in an attempt to prepare for Enlightenment, you could engage in a daily practice that gave you direct access to Enlightened Consciousness right now?
What if, instead of hoping for a lightning bolt of spiritual insight to awaken you sometime in the distant future, you could practice aligning with the limitless energy, intelligence and freedom of Enlightenment every single day?
Spiritual masters East and West have always told us that the miracle of Enlightened Consciousness already exists, fully formed, inside of each of us—that this luminous awareness is none other than our own true nature.
The radical discovery that is transforming our very understanding of spiritual awakening is that it is possible to tap directly into this infinite energy, intelligence and freedom right now.
All that is required to immediately access this superconscious, unbounded way of being is learning a simple set of daily practices that enable you to step directly into the miracle of awakened consciousness every time you practice.
Once you discover the power of Direct Awakening, your life may never be the same.
INTRODUCING
The Practice of Direct Awakening
A 12-Week Online Meditation Course with Integral Enlightenment Founder Craig Hamilton
We’re excited to announce that spiritual teacher Craig Hamilton will be offering a comprehensive step-by-step program to teach you the practice of Direct Awakening.
Over 12 consecutive weeks, from the privacy and comfort of your own home, you’ll learn the potent, life-changing meditation process that has already transformed the lives of thousands of people around the globe.
Dear Friend,
I’m deeply honored that you’re considering joining me for The Practice of Direct Awakening.
Creating this course has been a tremendous labor of love and I’m excited that I’ll soon be sharing this life-changing process with committed spiritual seekers all over the world.
When I first began my meditation journey 35 years ago, I was just sixteen years old and never could have imagined where the path would take me.
Since then, I’ve had the extraordinary privilege to learn from many of the world’s greatest living masters and have also had the good fortune to be part of a group of pioneering consciousness researchers testing the limits of ancient wisdom and breaking through onto new ground.
Since I began sharing my discoveries with my fellow spiritual travelers over the past decade, I have been continuously inspired and humbled to encounter so many remarkable human beings so deeply dedicated to their own awakening.
There is nothing that gives more meaning to my life than being able to share this work with anyone who feels called to receive it.
If you decide to join me on this adventure, I look forward to connecting with you and deepening together as we all take our next steps on this miraculous journey of awakening.
With Love,
Participants Share Their Experiences . . .
“I find Craig’s skillful guidance a great doorway to accessing deeper states of being.”
“I’ve studied Buddhism for ten years and probably have tried every form of meditation under the sun—following my breath, staring at a candle flame, chanting a mantra, etc., but I’ve found no more powerful meditation than these practices that Craig offers. Craig’s approach is simple but profound. His multiple-meditation approach means that you will definitely find one that works for you. I find his skillful guidance a great doorway to accessing deeper states of being. By practicing these meditations daily, I am able to remain consistently more centered and serene during the day, much more than I had with any of the meditations I’d done prior.”
J. Sullivan
“Probably one of the best things I have ever done for myself and for the world.”
“These meditations have opened up a whole new world for me. My mood is typically elevated and bright (often causing others to joke about wanting some of whatever I am “on”), and I continuously experience a sense of ’roundedness’ which allows my responses to be more measured, appropriate and clear. Probably one of the best things I have ever done for myself and for the world.”
S. Friese
“The seemingly simple outlooks that you have shared with us have already changed my life!”
“I can never show enough gratitude for this astounding course. I have an entirely new outlook on what I have studied for so long. Before this great class, I had come to believe that I was somehow undeserving of what I now see as my birthright! Thank you so much Craig, for your wisdom in showing us that we are more, that we are ALL. . . The seemingly simple outlooks that you have shared with us have already changed my life! Thank you from the bottom of my newly opened heart.”
R. Leece
“Thank you for simplifying the language of meditation practice so it is accessible.”
“I sense this ongoing meditation flow around me even when I’m not formally meditating and I love that I now have the tools to step into that flow at will. Thank you for simplifying the language of meditation practice so it is accessible. I get it now! And what a joy to have the opportunity to practice, practice, practice.”
D. Alston
“It’s just such a feeling of completeness!”
“I have so much gratitude for the transmission I can feel underneath Craig’s words. The guided meditations gain additional depth as I re-listen, and in my own meditations as well. It’s just such a feeling of completeness! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
J. Aebi
“I am immensely grateful for this course and for all the breakthroughs which are occurring.”
“Craig speaks from such a place of truth and wisdom. I am immensely grateful for this course and for all the breakthroughs which are occurring, and for teaching in a way that embodies–every step of the way–trust, courage, letting go, and a kind of faith I’ve never experienced before.”
D. Charles
“An unspeakably profound and beautiful experience.”
“Simply… an unspeakably profound and beautiful experience. My gratitude to Craig who leads us ‘there’ each time … it’s a kind of miracle in itself to have found so true a teacher. My gratitude too to every practitioner who is ‘one’ in this momentous course!”
M. Mason
“The structure of the guided practices holds me in a way that allows me to let go and go even deeper.”
“The structure of the guided practices holds me in a way that allows me to let go and go even deeper. I’ve been noticing even more subtle levels of letting go that want to happen, the equally subtle holdings in my body/mind of ancient default settings, and a wonderful softening. Thanks!”
S. Jaech
“The only word I can think of to describe this is “everythingness or oneness.””
“I have been meditating for many years and have had many experiences of “nothingness” or no thought. It is completely different now! The only word I can think of to describe this is “everythingness or oneness.” Thank You!”
M. Gorkhali
“There was an expansion into a freedom and well-being. Free. Just free…”
“When we got to the boundless experience of self, there was a deep relaxing inside…a gentle holding of what wanted to be the self, and an expansion into a freedom and well-being. Free. Just free… This boundlessness just keeps radiating its wholeness, its supportiveness… What a blessing this clear experience is.”
L. Taylor
“I felt such a deep surge of knowing consciousness and divinity running through everything.”
“Last night’s class was very powerful for me. I felt such a deep surge of knowing consciousness and divinity running through everything. I felt this awareness again this morning after listening to the first meditation. The perspective was a little different – this time more peaceful yet containing the same sense of consciousness as the ground of everything.”
L. Heathcote
“Listening to your guided meditations greatly assists my immersion in the practice.”
“There is something deeply magical about your voice, Craig. Listening to your guided meditations greatly assists my immersion in the practice.”
L. Mack
“I have had a daily meditation practice for over 30 years but I have never enjoyed the practice so much.”
“Thank you for a wonderful course. I didn’t want it to end and I am so grateful to have all the recordings to enable me to continue with the practice. Your presence, humility, authenticity and love never faltered. I have had a daily meditation practice for over 30 years but I have never enjoyed the practice so much.”

Here’s What You’ll Learn
The Twelve Core Modules of The Practice of Direct Awakening
|
MODULE  |
MODULE ONEOpening to the Miracle of Awakened Consciousness
You’ll learn . . .
|
In order to practice direct awakening, a clear understanding and experience of awakened consciousness is essential. In this opening session, we will take an experiential journey into our own true nature, noticing how this luminous consciousness differs from ordinary consciousness and learning how we can allow this sacred dimension of being to naturally begin to reveal itself as none other than our own true self.|
MODULE  |
MODULE TWOAn Unshakable Foundation for Awakening:Cultivating a Fertile Field in Which our Meditation Can Flourish
You’ll learn . . .
|
Like any practice, Direct Awakening rests on a set of fundamentals that together create a strong foundation for the deep transformative work we’ll be doing. In this module, you’ll learn a clear and simple set of steps to follow each time you practice that will enable you to establish this unshakable foundation for the great work of awakening.|
MODULE  |
MODULE THREEA Peace Beyond Understanding:The Unfathomable Contentment of Being
You’ll learn . . .
|
From dawn to dusk, we’re always doing something. We’re trying to achieve something, accomplish something, change something, make something happen. And while this engaged orientation to life is essential for participating in and contributing to the world, it tends to obscure a more fundamental reality: the inherent freedom and fullness of Being itself. In this module, we’ll consciously undertake what may be the ultimate challenge for any human being: allowing ourselves to rest in the unimaginable contentment and freedom of simply being as we are.|
MODULE  |
MODULE FOURReturn to Innocence:Activating the Mystery of Not Knowing
You’ll learn . . .
|
Our culture places a premium on knowledge. We are valued and rewarded for what we know and often afraid to admit it when we don’t. Yet when it comes to the mystery of spiritual awakening, our conceptual knowledge can only take us so far. To truly enter into the vast, limitless territory of awakened consciousness, we must be willing to step beyond our certainties and enter into an awakened innocence. In this module, you’ll learn how to “live in the unknown” so that a profound energy and intelligence which lies forever beyond our comprehension can begin to reveal itself in your experience.|
MODULE  |
MODULE FIVEBecoming Aware of Awareness:The Miracle of Self-Recognition
You’ll learn . . .
|
One definition of awakened awareness is “awareness that is aware of itself.” Although this might sound esoteric, learning how to be aware of your own awareness is in fact one of the simplest and most accessible practices of Direct Awakening we’ll explore. The discovery that this awakened awareness is always present brings our search for freedom outside ourself to an end, liberating us into a natural state of ever present wakefulness. In this module, we’ll engage a series of exercises to help you discover how to activate awakened consciousness by paying attention to the movement of awareness itself in meditation and in daily life.|
MODULE  |
MODULE SIXEmbracing our True Nature:Awareness Beyond the False Self
You’ll learn . . .
|
We’ve all heard that the “false self” or ego is the primary obstacle on the spiritual path. But how do we move beyond this mind-constructed story of self to unleash the extraordinary capacities of our true nature? In this module, we’ll engage a series of powerful practices for dissolving the limitations of our “false self” so that we can open to the infinite power and depth of our authentic self.|
MODULE  |
MODULE SEVENShattering the Myth of Separation:The Emergence of Non-Dual Awareness
You’ll learn . . .
|
Most of us are familiar with the idea of “oneness.” For many of us, the belief in our essential unity has even become a new religion. But how many of us can truly say we have transcended the illusion of duality? In this module, we’ll dive deep into one of the most essential and life-changing revelations of Enlightenment–the truth of non-duality, the liberating reality of no separation.|
MODULE  |
MODULE EIGHTSurrendering the Illusion of Control:The Sacred Art of Letting Go
You’ll learn . . .
|
Most of us have accomplished great things in life by trying to control and drive events and circumstances to work in our favor. But spiritual awakening is ultimately about getting out of the way so that a greater wisdom and power can begin to guide and ultimately animate our life. To allow the miraculous energy of awakening to begin to operate without obstruction, we must each find a way to surrender ourselves to a mystery beyond our mind’s comprehension. In other words, we have to let go of control. In this module, we’ll learn the subtle art of letting go in meditation so that we can begin to be carried by the current of awakening.|
MODULE  |
MODULE NINENowhere Else To Go:Resting in the Explosive Recognition That “This Is It”
You’ll learn . . .
|
The human condition is dominated by an underlying sense of lack. This assumption of insufficiency keeps us in an endless cycle of always looking elsewhere for happiness and fulfillment. In this module, we’ll learn the life-altering meditative practice of seeing the inherent perfection and wholeness of reality as it is right now. When we stop insisting that there is something missing from this moment, we open the door to the overwhelming revelation of fullness and unimaginable contentment that is our natural state.|
MODULE  |
MODULE TENThe Meditation is Already Occurring:Allowing Awakening to Happen by Itself
You’ll learn . . .
|
As we deepen in the Practice of Direct Awakening, we gradually discover that the less effort we make, the more the process of awakening begins to take on a life of its own. In the later stages of practice, we’re learning how to navigate the subtleties involved in making room for a mysterious energy and intelligence to open up within us, but without making the mistake of becoming entirely passive in the process. In this module, we’ll learn the delicate art of “getting out of our own way” so that the miracle of awakening can begin to have its way with us, ultimately allowing it to permeate every aspect of our life.|
MODULE  |
MODULE ELEVENEnlightenment in Action:The Practice of Direct Awakening in Daily Life
You’ll learn . . .
|
Although the precious time we spend in meditation establishes the foundation for an extraordinary, awakened life, we all spend the majority of our time outside of meditation, actively engaged with the world. What if it were possible to turn our daily life into a profound spiritual practice, so that every moment could become a moment of awakening? In this module, we’ll take our contemplative practice out of our “virtual temple” and into the marketplace, exploring how to practice Direct Awakening even as we engage with the complexities and challenges of relationships, work, play and creative pursuits.|
MODULE  |
MODULE TWELVEA Journey That Never Ends:Activating the Process of Perpetual Awakening
You’ll learn . . .
|
As we become established in the natural practices of Direct Awakening, the boundary between formal practice and the rest of life gradually dissolves. This is when we fall in love with meditation. This is when we come home to our True Nature. However, this can also be a delicate transition, as our conditioned tendencies toward unawakened consciousness likely still have momentum. It is therefore imperative that, even as our awakening becomes more organic, easeful and natural, we maintain our commitment to a practice routine that can last a lifetime. In our final module, we’ll explore how to sustain our formal practice, even as we make room for the natural process of awakening to gradually overtake our being.ABOUT
Craig Hamilton
Craig Hamilton is a pioneer in the emerging field of evolutionary spirituality and a leading voice in the movement for conscious evolution. As the guiding force behind Integral Enlightenment, Craig offers spiritual guidance and teachings to a growing international community spanning 50 countries around the world.
His introductory and advanced courses have more than 11,000 graduates to date. These courses are designed to support people who are committed to evolving themselves and our culture, yearn to make their greatest contribution, and seek to develop themselves to embrace this calling.
To provide effective support for these pioneers, Craig created the Academy for Evolutionaries, offering practical spiritual tools and training that are in step with our times and informed by an up-to-date understanding of the human condition. In this unique training ground, Craig brings together core insights and approaches based on decades of on-the-ground research at the leading edge of spiritual practice and inquiry.
Craig began his spiritual journey in the ashrams and monasteries of the East, but ultimately found himself at the forefront of consciousness research in the West, playing a key role in two contemporary laboratories of conscious evolution. It was in these cutting-edge spiritual experiments that the key insights that inform his work took shape. He has personally logged over 17,000 hours of meditation, including multiple intensive retreats, the longest of which was six months in duration.
Craig’s programs integrate his decades of intensive spiritual practice with insights gleaned during his eight years as Senior Editor of the award winning What Is Enlightenment? magazine.
He is a founding member of Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute, a member of Deepak Chopra’s Evolutionary Leaders Forum, and was a participant in the Synthesis Dialogues, a 35-person interdisciplinary think tank presided over by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He is considered by many to be a “teacher of teachers” and counts several of today’s leading spiritual luminaries among his students.
Here’s What Some of Today’s Leading Luminaries Have to Say About Craig
“Craig Hamilton is a premier teacher of meditation and transformational wisdom. His work is among the best.”
“If I had to pick one teacher to take a deep dive with around conscious evolution and evolutionary spirituality it would be Craig Hamilton. He is attuned to the frequency of the Impulse of Evolution. He empowers us to make the shift from ego to essence, and from essence to emergence as an expression of the Impulse itself. This is very rare. To be one of his students in depth is a great privilege. Besides all that, he will care about you and stay with you for the long haul of your self-evolution.”
“Craig Hamilton is the kind of meditation teacher we most need in the twenty-first century: clear, wise, heartfelt and free of dogma. His approach is dedicated to helping us bring forth the part of us that is already harmonious and happy, the natural wellspring of creativity that bubbles within us all. Craig’s deep understanding of the evolutionary process provides a foundation for the specific techniques he teaches. Beyond any technique, however, is the rare quality Craig brings as a living example of the centered clarity his teachings assist us to develop. When you learn from Craig, you know you’re in the hands of a master teacher.”
“Craig Hamilton is a living example of everything he teaches: one who combines passionate commitment to the evolutionary path along with dedicated practice of the core integral ways that expand and deepen the human mind, heart and soul. His superb and sensitive teaching gives the participant both inspiration and potent methods to pursue the path of enlightenment and thereby to profoundly make a difference in both self and society.”
“Craig Hamilton is a beautiful meditation teacher. If you want to learn meditation from a seasoned, wise teacher, you’ve found him, here, now.”
“It is rare to find a spiritual teacher who imparts the depth, the clarity, the humility, and the wisdom that Craig Hamilton does. Craig’s transmission of the very spirit of evolution reaches right down into the core Self, awakening his students’ desire to reach their highest evolutionary potential. If you have the good fortune to learn from him, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take advantage of it.”
“Craig Hamilton is a genuine pioneer in evolutionary spirituality and its application in practical wisdom. I highly recommend you check out his work at your earliest opportunity!”
“After years of trying to do “mantra-based” meditation, and failing miserably, I gave up….until I found Craig Hamilton. Craig’s wisdom, guidance and frequency has opened a spiritual pathway for me that I had heard about but never before experienced. He truly is a master teacher.”
“Craig Hamilton is an insightful and engaging teacher whose artful blend of spiritual insight and personal experience all delivered with a disarming warmth and humor will leave you challenged to question and inspired to act. I highly recommend his work.”
“I am humbled, awed and inspired by the depth of wisdom, clarity and integrity that shines through Craig’s remarkable teaching work. He provides a rare portal through which any sincere seeker can gain access to authentic spiritual illumination.”
“Remarkably poised, flexible, dynamic and passionate, Craig Hamilton is a wise voice in the emergence of integral enlightenment—a new spirituality deeply committed not just to awakening, but to action—furthering human evolution and sustainability.”
“Craig Hamilton is a fresh, original voice calling for nothing less than the reinvention of spirituality for the 21st century. If you want to discover what it feels like to be the very impulse of evolution, spend some time with Craig. His inspiration is contagious!”

Early Registration Bonus #1:
Opening to the Ultimate Possibility:
Establishing An Unwavering Intention to Awaken
A 90-minute Virtual Living Room Video Workshop with Craig
When you register before midnight, September 23rd, you’ll be able to join Craig for a Live Video Workshop designed to help you establish a powerful foundation for the intensive practices we’ll be engaging in the Practice of Direct Awakening course. This workshop will take place on Monday, September 26th, so we can begin our journey of awakening immediately.
Spiritual awakening opens the door to a truly unimaginable possibility. The potential of living a deeply awakened life is so magnificent and so far beyond most of what we see in the world that even when we taste it for ourselves, we often find it hard to accept that life could be this extraordinary.
In order to make room in ourselves for the miraculous to take root, most of us need to uncover, examine and ultimately leave behind a deeply rooted fundamental insistence on a life of limitation. In this workshop, Craig will guide you through a process of letting go of all imposed doubt and limitation and stepping into a consciousness of unlimited possibility.
In this radical freedom from limitation, he will then guide you in cultivating the single most important quality you can bring to the spiritual path–a clear and unwavering intention.
When we think about setting an intention, we often tend to associate it with goal-setting and the exercise of will toward the achievement of specific outcomes. But intention is not merely a matter of willpower. Intentions are like seeds that we plant deep in our consciousness that will come to fruition as long as we create the proper environment for their growth.
A foundation free of limiting beliefs and rooted in a direct experience of ultimate reality is the ground within which true intention for awakening can be set.
In this session, you will learn how to plant an intention that is much more than just an imagined future goal for you to strive toward. The intention that you set in this workshop will be an anchor that connects you directly to the living reality of your own potential for a truly awakened life.

Spiritual Practice in Action:
Enlightenment in Everyday Life
An Evolutionary Spirituality Seminar Series with Craig Hamilton
(Digital Audio Series)
Meditation plays an indispensable role in our spiritual growth and evolution, but what happens when we get up off the meditation cushion and step into the world of action? We all know that where the rubber meets the road on the spiritual path is amidst the challenges and complexities of our daily lives. From our intimate relationships to our workplaces, from making big decisions to navigating conflicts, the real fruits of our practice emerge in the day-to-day.
How can we live an authentic spiritual life amidst the complexities and challenges of our increasingly chaotic modern world?
In addition to teaching thousands of people to meditate, for the past two decades Craig Hamilton has been pioneering a new form of “engaged spirituality” that directly addresses this question. This powerful 24/7 spiritual practice is at the core of Craig’s Integral Enlightenment teachings and offers a vital bridge between meditation and the rest of our life.
This new downloadable three-audio seminar series opens the doorway into this potent spiritual perspective, offering clear and provocative insights about our potential to radically evolve as human beings, and to fully live our enlightenment. Each seminar explores a different facet of how we can engage life as a “24/7” spiritual practice and catalyze genuine evolution.
You’ll discover:
- How to infuse your entire life with deeper meaning and higher purpose by learning to access the underlying creative force of the universe—the evolutionary impulse.
- What enlightenment really looks like in everyday life—and steps you can take to move your spiritual practice “off the meditation cushion” and into the world.
- Why “taking a stand” for Love—as a choice, not just a feeling—is one of the most transformative practices you can undertake to create profound awakening.
Spiritual Practice in Action: Enlightenment in Everyday Life will create a vital foundation for daily spiritual practice and will support you in integrating your experiences in meditation into your daily life. Through the wisdom and practices in these inspiring digital audio seminars, you’ll experience the innovative, contemporary approach to evolutionary spirituality that has more than 11,000 graduates of Craig’s courses reporting catalytic spiritual growth that infuses their lives every day.
Seminar #1: Activating the Impulse of Evolution
What’s really possible for our higher spiritual evolution? In this evocative seminar, Integral Enlightenment founder Craig Hamilton shares from his own experience on the spiritual path to illustrate the profound evolutionary potential for your life—and all of human life. He illuminates how you can awaken to the evolutionary impulse—the powerful creative force that animates the universe—and align with it so that your entire orientation towards life is infused with deeper meaning and higher purpose. In practical yet inspiring terms, Craig reveals how you can begin to access this vital energy and approach life through this empowering perspective. And he offers specific practices that will allow you to begin cultivating an evolutionary relationship to life today.
Seminar #2: Integral Enlightenment: How to Live Your Awakening in Every Single Moment of Life
Spiritual practice can be so much more than an activity we engage for a small part of the day or week. Every moment of life can be our practice—and the impact of this realization is immense. In this uplifting and provocative talk, Craig encourages us to make spiritual practice a way of living—and outlines a real-world path to doing just that. In a penetrating exploration of enlightenment’s core dimensions, Craig clearly illustrates that enlightenment is actually a relationship to life that we all have the potential to cultivate. Rather than a feeling state or exalted endpoint, it’s a way of being and showing up in the world—and it’s accessible to everyone. Craig offers practical exercises that reinforce these insights, creating traction for moving your spiritual practice “off the meditation cushion” and into the world.
Seminar #3: “Do You Believe in Love?”
Initially presented as part of a graduate-level program, this session explores love as a fundamental force of evolution, and invites us to become fully present to its highest power and fullness. Through a skillful guided reflection exercise, Craig enables us to shine the light of awareness on our own relationship to love and awaken to its deeper potential. We discover a profound, abiding care for the whole that includes but is not limited to the personal—and awaken to the powerful implications of taking a stand for this Love with a capital “L.” This is an advanced teaching that is nevertheless accessible to spiritual practitioners of all levels, evoking with clarity and beauty the life-changing potential of seeing love as a choice and a way of being, not just a feeling or experience.

- “The Evolution of Spirit: God, Enlightenment and the Path Ahead” with Ken Wilber
Is God evolving? Does enlightenment change? Can consciousness develop over time? Explore the essential spiritual questions with renowned Integral philosopher Ken Wilber, known for his radically incisive thinking and provocative myth-busting. This seminar offers you the opportunity to gain clarity, wisdom and the practical tools to accelerate your individual and our collective development. - “Impulse of Evolution: A Radical Path to the Future” with Barbara Marx Hubbard
A leader in the field of conscious evolution for 6 decades, Barbara Marx Hubbard draws upon the timeless spiritual impulse at the core of our human drive towards perfection—the soul of evolution itself. This “Impulse of Evolution,” ever unfolding within us all, moves us toward deeper understanding and participation in the processes of universal creation. In this seminar, you’ll explore the vast co-creative movements of conscious evolution, tap into your creative essence and expand your innate capacities for cosmic self-expression, self-development and self-actualization. - “Servants of Evolution” with Michael Beckwith
In this profoundly stirring yet practical seminar with modern-day spiritual leader and author Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, you’ll explore which time-tested spiritual practices can best help us awaken, how we can strengthen and align our lives with the impulse to evolve, and which empowering questions we should be asking ourselves every day. - “The Return of the Feminine: How to Awaken Our Co-Creative Power to Shape the Future” with Claire Zammit
More than any other group on the planet, women are awakening to the impulse to evolve. His Holiness The Dalai Lama has gone so far as to proclaim that “the world will be saved by the Western woman.” Join Claire Zammit, co-creator of the Feminine Power courses and one of today’s leading women’s transformation teachers, as she shares her core principles and practices, as well as practical tools and skills that hold the keys to personal and planetary awakening. - “Awakening to the Call of the Cosmos: How to Align Your Life with the Impulse of Evolution” with Craig Hamilton
While traditional spiritual paths and practices can help us on our journey, it’s becoming clear that they’re probably not enough to catalyze the evolutionary leap we need to make at this crucial historical moment. In this seminar you’ll learn a powerful practice you can engage anytime to infuse your actions with the boundless energy of evolution itself. You’ll cultivate an inner compass that will enable you to stay “on purpose” and aligned with Spirit, even amidst the complexities of daily life. And you’ll learn the role of each of the three pillars of conscious evolution. - “Reinventing the World: Creating a New Cosmic Culture” with Brian Swimme
Inspirational evolutionary thinker, speaker and author Dr. Brian Swimme joins Craig Hamilton in this lively and engaging seminar to explore the two most polarized views today on the role of humanity in the future of our planet, and to reveal how an evolutionary perspective opens up new possibilities for humanity’s contribution to the earth. - “Lessons from Evolution: Learning to Walk in the Rhythm of Life” with Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris
What can we learn from the great story of evolution that might help us to navigate the challenges of our moment in history?

In this seminar, you’ll discover how embracing the higher vibrations of greater cooperation can increase our odds of not only surviving, but thriving in the face of change. - “Learning To Live In A Living Universe” with Duane Elgin
A pioneer of evolutionary consciousness and integral philosophy, Duane Elgin asks the perennially relevant questions: Who are we? Where are we? What kind of journey do we think we’re on? Do I feel at home in the Universe? Through our contemplation of these essential questions, Elgin will help us clarify our understanding of who we are, in the biggest possible context, and uncover the real nature of our evolutionary journey. - “Tapping Into the Transformative Energy of Evolution” with Terry Patten
A truly evolutionary relationship to life can transform the physics of our existence, bringing us into a higher octave of power, sanity, and purpose. It’s possible for human beings to connect with the “omega force” of evolution, and become vessels for the profound transformational force of reality itself. Integral thinker and teacher Terry Patten examines how, with this force, we can make a positive difference in the world and creatively answer the call of our evolutionary emergency. - “So, You Want To Change The World?” with Dr. Jean Houston
Join the founder of the Human Potential movement, Dr. Jean Houston, as she explores why our time is unlike any other in human history and what our real obstacles to change are. You’ll learn about the transformative experience that changed the course of Jean’s life, her discovery about the essential qualities shared by the world’s most creative individuals, and how you can develop these qualities in your own life.
JUST ADDED: Guest Faculty Workshops
Guest Faculty Workshop #1:
Potentials and Pitfalls on the Spiritual Path
A 90-minute Audio Workshop with Ken Wilber
While many of us have some understanding of what a spiritual life entails, moving from an idea to a lived reality is a jump that many of us struggle to make. Ken Wilber, the world’s foremost authority on Integral and spiritual consciousness, will help us to better understand the obstacles that often prevent us from reaching the higher potentials we’re seeking to awaken.
In this virtual workshop, you will learn:
- Why merely understanding spiritual ideas isn’t enough to cause transformation (and how to avoid letting your conceptual knowledge obscure the immediacy of awakening)
- How spiritual insight, viewed or used incorrectly, can slow or halt personal evolution, and how to hold your insights in a way that allows them to deepen your awakening over time
- How our values and worldviews influence our spiritual insights (and why knowing this can help us avoid the tendency to assume we are discovering “The Truth”)
Ken Wilber is one of the most widely read and influential philosophers of our time, credited with creating a genuine world philosophy. Ken has a deep expertise with most of the world’s mystic traditions, and has explored academically and experientially the many states of consciousness that different spiritual practices produce. He is the author of 25 books, the founder of Integral Institute, Inc., the co-founder of Integral Life, Inc., and the Senior Fellow of Integral Life.
Guest Faculty Workshop #2:

How to Align Your Life with the Most Powerful Force in the Universe
A 90-minute Audio Workshop with Claire Zammit, Ph.D.(c)

How can we live an authentic spiritual life amidst the complexities and challenges of our increasingly chaotic modern world?

Guest Faculty Workshop #3:
The Practice of No Problem:
A Deceptively simple approach to meditation inviting you to let go of fear, worry and self-concern
A 90-minute Audio Workshop with Jeff Carreira
We have all been deeply conditioned to relate to the world from an assumption that something is wrong. In certain circumstances, this is useful because it helps us avoid problems—but it too easily becomes pathological. It generates a fundamental neurosis that leaves us existentially uncertain in a world that feels inherently unsafe. During this audio workshop Jeff Carreira will share the meditation practice he calls The Practice of No Problem. You will be asked to just sit and not make a problem out of anything that happens. At first you will assume it will be easy, but soon you will realize that you have no idea how not to have a problem. You will see how your how your habits of control make life feel like a struggle and you will see how you bring these habits with you into meditation. As you learn to gradually give up control you will find yourself floating in a space of ease and simplicity that takes you far beyond fear, worry and self-concern.
Jeff Carreira is a contemporary mystic, a spiritual guide and a philosopher who teaches meditation and transformative philosophy throughout the world. As a spiritual guide, Jeff offers retreats and courses leading individuals in a form of meditation called The Practice of No Problem. Using this simple and effective orientation toward meditation Jeff has guided thousands of people on journeys beyond the confines of fear and self-concern into the expansive liberated awareness that is our true home. Jeff is the author of six books including The Miracle of Meditation, The Practice of No Problem, Radical Inclusivity and The Soul of a New Self.
**SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT**
100% of Your Course Tuition Will Be Donated
to the Inner Strength Foundation
Enroll Today to Support a Meditation Program for Inner City Youth
Register for The Practice of Direct Awakening between now and Midnight Pacific Time on Friday, June 9th, and we’ll donate 100% of your course tuition to the Inner Strength Foundation—a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching meditation to the inner city youth of Philadelphia.
The Inner Strength Foundation offers meditation programs at no cost to schools because these schools are so budget-challenged: in most of them, students are asked to bring a ream of copy paper to stock their class printers because the school system can’t afford the paper.
Despite living in what you can imagine is an incredibly stressful environment, through the Inner Strength Program students learn to plumb the depths of inner stillness and gain an understanding of how their discoveries directly support their well-being and the attainment of their greatest aspirations.
Students develop a toolkit of 7 mindfulness techniques—tools they can rely on for the rest of their lives—including lovingkindness practices, body scans, “thought bubble” meditation, and open awareness meditation.
And not only do they practice meditation, they learn how we are all influenced by 300 million years of brain development, and how the adolescent brain functions. They practice connecting the dots between great shifts in history and their own experience. Through seeing things in this broad context, these students become better prepared to become the cultural change agents our world needs so much.
And while 75% of these kids live at or below the U.S. poverty level, 90% of the students in the Inner Strength program are in honors classes, testing in the upper percentiles and seeking spots at excellent universities. They are smart, ambitious, and creative youth. And they will benefit tremendously from the support your tuition dollars will give them through The Inner Strength Foundation!
Through the end of registration on Friday, June 9th, we’ll be donating 100% of the registrations for our Practice of Direct Awakening course until we reach our fundraising goal of $5,000.
So now you can feel doubly good about registering for The Practice of Direct Awakening… Not only will you experience the fruits of the practice for yourself—you’ll be supporting teens in difficult circumstances to learn meditation and helping empower them to live meaningful, fulfilling lives and make a contribution to the world.
