Reclaim your relationship with reality.

A free four-week experiment in time, place, embodiment, and conscious participation.

FREE · FOUR WEEKS · BEGIN ANYTIME

Much of modern life reaches us through a layer of representation.

Schedules tell us where to be. Notifications tell us where to look. Headlines tell us what is happening. Metrics tell us how things are going. Algorithms decide what appears next.

These tools help us navigate the world. They can also become the world that receives most of our attention.

We can spend entire days responding to representations of reality while barely encountering reality itself.

What happens when we change our relationship to reality?

A reality reorientation begins by changing our reference points.

Instead of beginning with what we need to accomplish, improve, or figure out, we can begin by paying attention to what is already here and what becomes visible when we enter into relationship with it.

For four weeks, the Reality Reorientation Experiment invites you into relationship with four teachers from the living world:

You can begin exactly where you are. A pebble. A neighborhood tree. Rain against a window. A glass of water. The night sky above your home.

The living world is already here.

Stones → Trees → Waters → Stars

FOUR WEEKS. FOUR LIVING TEACHERS.

Each week, you turn your attention toward a different teacher from the living world, exploring what becomes visible through direct relationship & practice.

STONES
Deep Time · Stillness · Gravity · Belonging
GROUND

TREES
Rootedness · Structure · Integrity · Habitat
ROOT

WATERS
Fluidity · Change · Adaptation · Continuity
FLOW

STARS
Perspective · Vision · Emergence · Mystery
ORIENT

You can learn about a tree.

Its species. Its anatomy. How it grows, communicates, adapts, and participates in the ecosystem around it.

You can also sit beneath one.

You can learn about water.

Its chemistry. Its cycles. How it moves through landscapes, bodies, weather, and living systems.

You can also slowly drink a glass of water.

You can study cosmology.

Stars, planets, galaxies, deep time, and what we have learned about the universe we inhabit.

You can also walk outside at night and look up.

Both are ways of knowing.

The Reality Reorientation Experiment brings them into relationship: what we can learn about the living world and what becomes available through direct attention, embodied experience, and repeated encounter.

Because encounter can become relationship.

A tree becomes different when it is no longer simply a tree.

This tree. In this place. That I can return to.

EDUCATE → EMBODY → EMPOWER

Each week of the Reality Reorientation Experiment follows the same learning rhythm.

EDUCATE

Learn about each teacher through ideas and perspectives that give context to what you’re exploring.

EMBODY

Bring that learning into direct experience through simple practices of attention, sensation, observation, and relationship.

EMPOWER

Reflect on what you discover and begin bringing those discoveries into the way you live.

Learn about the world. Experience it directly. Notice what changes.

Notice the patterns shaping your life.

As you change what you pay attention to, you may begin noticing your own life differently.

Your IP’s is an EMUNAH methodology for noticing the patterns that shape how you feel, how you live, and what becomes possible through your choices.

Throughout the Reality Reorientation Experiment, you’ll begin gathering interconnected information about:

INPUTS

The actions, habits, relationships, environments, and experiences that nourish your system or pull you off center.

PEOPLE & RELATIONSHIPS

The relational patterns that influence how you feel, connect, respond, and move through the world.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHIES & PRACTICES

The values, principles, rituals, and ways of living that guide you and help you return to yourself.

PURPOSE & PASSION

The meaningful work, creativity, pleasure, expression, and possibilities that organically emerge when your system is supported and aligned.

Across the four weeks, you simply pay attention, gather what you notice, and let your own experience become information.

What begins as noticing gradually reveals patterns.

Your Life Belongs to You. You Belong to Life.

Your life belongs to you.

As you become more aware of the patterns shaping your life, you gain greater capacity to participate consciously in what happens next.

You can notice what nourishes you, what guides you, what shapes your relationships, and what brings you alive.

You belong to life.

Your life also unfolds within relationships, places, bodies, histories, ecologies, and a living world that you are continuously shaping and being shaped by.

Agency and belonging can exist together.

IT’S AN EXPERIMENT

You’re invited to approach these four weeks with curiosity.

Sit with a stone. Return to a tree. Notice water moving through your day. Step outside and look up.

Pay attention to what you experience. Notice what changes. Notice what stays the same. Let your observations lead to new questions.

Begin where you are, with what is already around you.

The Reality Reorientation Experiment asks you to try something, pay attention, and see what happens.

Your experience is the experiment.

WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE

A simple four-week experience you can move through wherever you are.

FOUR WEEKS OF GUIDED LEARNING

Explore Stones, Trees, Waters, and Stars as teachers from the living world.

EMBODIED PRACTICES + DIRECT ENCOUNTERS

Simple practices invite you to slow down, pay attention, and enter into relationship with the living world around you.

YOUR IP’S REFLECTIONS

Gather personally sourced information about what nourishes you, what guides you, how relationships shape you, and what brings you alive.
