Consciousness Development Program - CDP
Advanced 1 - Self-Knowledge

Advanced 1 ClassThis workshop has a different style than the other IAC activities. The Advanced 1 workshop lasts the whole weekend, starting Friday afternoon and ending Sunday afternoon, with a total of 21 hours of activities. Since this workshop is given in a hotel, participants can take time to reflect upon themselves and their lives without interference or distractions. It is structured in such a way that participants have the appropriate atmosphere for clearing issues and doubts.

Advanced 1 provides an environment where participants are able to perform a deep self-analysis to identify and improve their own consciential attributes potentialities, existential program, helpers, energetic characteristics, etc. Benefits include:

  • Becoming aware of personal strong traits that could and should be better used;
  • Becoming aware of personal weak traits that are hindering one’s progress;
  • Discovering the direction of their own existential program, or life purpose;
  • Planning strategies to recycle one’s life;
  • Identifying possible reasons for the obstruction in personal bioenergetic development;
  • Planning strategies to recycle one’s life;
  • Perceiving and reinforcing one’s interaction with helpers.

Advanced 1 also combines several distinct kinds of activities, including: energy exercises, video sessions, classes, and group discussions. Classroom seating is arranged in a circle to allow greater group interaction between participants and instructors. The educational strategy used in this workshop includes debates and case-studies that will provide us with examples, allow a better understanding of evolution and give us a broader picture of our evolutionary condition.

After each class, participants will receive special forms that will help them perform self-analysis and self-assessment related to the subject discussed during the class. These forms work as guides. They have the sole purpose of helping the students to organize their thoughts. Forms are private and for personal use only. We suggest the students keep these forms in a personal file, so they can refer to them in the future to evaluate how much they have changed and grown.

In order to keep a high level of quality in the workshop, two instructors and one assistant will lead the activities. In addition, the number of participants is limited to 20.

Advanced 1 is a pre-requisite to attend Advanced 2.
