Conscious Cultural Evolution - Small Group Praxis - Course 1

What you'll learn
By the end of this course, its learners will be able to convey a recognized sense of nondual Consciousness through their personal awareness and/or experience.
Example: Learners develop an appreciation for how distinctions between "cognition" and "conscious awareness" translate across three major operating systems.
Course participants learn the respective ways in which one either "empowers" and/or "liberates" one's self and how these dimensions interrelate to each other.
Practitioners will explore whether, or to what extent, "consciousness" as they currently 'know' it, is a "causal" factor with regard to metaphysical realities.
Requirements
The course's curriculum, although molded to be as comprehensive as possible, poses complexity at a level that's best suited for relatively high-functioning ("consciousness") practitioners already possessing reasonably established reflective disciplines (i.e. meditative or contemplative) and relatively strong academic abilities.
Consequently, and if not already doing so, successful completion of the course necessitates sustaining regular, ongoing, meditative (or 'reflective') practice of a recommended minimum of 40 minutes per day.
Example: Sustain meditative (or 'reflective') practice 20 minutes (or more), twice a day, and have the ability to employ those 'reflective' capacities in completing brief writing assignments and interrelating with other course practitioner-participants.
Because the primary focus of the "Conscious Cultural Evolution" course entails 'learning to embrace relational complexity through shared reflective practice', students bear the responsibility for having already addressed individualized emotional or psychological issues which might otherwise pose a hindrance in doing more intensive "group" work.
Example: Group members will possess a reasonably informed background or framework for addressing 'shadow work' whether through Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), or other modality.
Description
Conscious Cultural Evolution - Course 1 is comprised of a multi-component (i.e., videos, manual, quizzes, assignments) curriculum utilizing Fink's Taxonomy as its design-guide to scaffolda set of graduated learning objectives in a study-lab format accompanied by a fully referenced, pdf-formatted, booklet (manual)--specifically for those with a solidly established reflective (i.e. contemplative or meditative) practice, wishing to enhance its practical impact. Literally integrating science, spirituality (i.e. 'art'), and language together within a 'psycho-activated' learning platform, the course has been shaped to afford its students access to, and engagement on, a unique journey informing and challenging their discovery of new, creative, potentials.Consequently, and to best optimize both the quality and facilitation in this respect of the learner's overall experience, Course 1 extends a total of 12 short videos (averaging between 4 and 7 minutes) to the online learner which subsequently include six lessons guiding course practitioners through the first two chapters of the project's interactive manual. Beginning with Lessons 1 and 2 of the first chapter covering an "Introduction" to, and "Overview" of, Conscious Cultural Evolution's overall scope. Lesson 3 from Chapter 2 affords course participants a comprehensive appreciation of both "consciousness" and "spirituality" as manifested over millennium across some of the world's most cherished wisdom traditions. Likewise, the section's remaining content is shaped to instill an ample background that on its completion, course participants will be able to convey a recognized sense of nondual Consciousness relating to their personal awareness and/or experience.
