BeginWithin

A YEAR OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL THRIVING
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LIVING WORLD

The shit we’re living through is intense as hell. Living from our values, with a clear vision of what’s possible, has never been more important. You are invited to join us in a steady rhythm of education, embodiment, and experimentation supporting you to cultivate a life that’s coherent, alive, and aligned through 2026.

For those of us who have done a lot of inner work
and are ready for integration, coherence,
and embodied interdependence.

Let's Grow

Enrollment is open through January 10

13 New Moon drops · Founding Beta Cohort · Sliding-scale pricing

This is a space committed to a world that works for all of life. We value wisdom, embodiment, care, and patience. If you do too, you are warmly welcome here.

BeginWithin is a year-long rhythm of monthly guidance, reflection, and embodied practice designed to help you integrate what you already know into how you actually live.

This experience is designed to meet you where you are and move with you steadily through a year, with all the fluctuations that life brings. The structure is strong enough to support real change, and spacious enough to adapt to the realities of your life.

You’ll learn.
You’ll practice.
You’ll reflect, integrate, and return again and again to a deeper place of clarity and coherence.

This is how truly healing change happens: through depth, connection, and embodiment.

BeginWithin uses living-systems principles: rhythm, feedback, stabilization, and recalibration, so that the nature of our growth creates pattern resonance across other scales of the other living systems we are nested within.

A year-long rhythm for becoming rather than a course you feel pressure to complete.

How Change Actually Happens Here

BeginWithin is built on a simple premise: meaningful change in the individual, interpersonal, intergenerational, or institutional dimensions of our world doesn’t come from intensity, insight, or willpower alone.

It comes from embodied coherence.

When your nervous system, values, identity, and daily choices start working together instead of pulling in different directions, your life truly becomes your own, and you begin initiating pattern changes in the systems you belong to.

Family. Neighborhood. Work. Community. Bioregion. Biosphere.
Your presence ripples outward.

Each month offers a small set of practices and questions you return to over time to inform how you compose your days, the choices you make, the patterns you perpetuate or shift from the inside out.

Every thing you do will compound over the year, and one year from now you will be amazed at how far you’ve come in the areas of growth that are most important to you.

Throughout the year, you’ll learn how to recognize what’s happening in your body, your attention, and your inner life — and how to respond in ways that build capacity instead of exhaustion. Growth here isn’t about forcing outcomes. It’s about creating the conditions where change can take root and sustain itself.

Stabilize and Expand

Practical Wisdom, Released in Rhythm

Thirteen New Moon Drops Across the Year

Each New Moon, beginning on January 18th, you’ll receive a new drop of practical wisdom: Frameworks and Practices that build on one another over time. Each moon drop deepens within you a single, coherent system helping you understand your nervous system, your patterns, your identity, and your direction as one integrated whole.

These are grounded tools that help you make sense of your inner life, your relationships, and the systems you move within and apply what you’re learning directly to how you live.

Every drop includes a thoughtful combination of:

  • Clear frameworks that help you make sense of your inner life and real-world decisions. These are delivered in audio, video, and PDF formats designed to be digestible for different learning styles.

  • Somatic and breath-based practices that stabilize and expand your nervous system.

  • Good Questions and writing rituals that turn insight into lived clarity.

You’re invited to move through each month at your own pace, returning to the material as needed, while community gatherings and practice spaces support integration along the way.

The V’s: Develop Your Life’s Compass

The most effective, aligned, and inner-resourced people in the world have clarity about their values, move steadily toward their visions, proactively develop healthy relationships with their vices, and live by their own authentic virtues.

The V’s are the quiet backbone of BeginWithin. Each season, you will focus on one of them, steadily building a living compass you’ll return to and clarify again and again as your life unfolds.

· Values ·

In the quiet of winter, you will go deep into your root system to access the values that shape your authenticity.

· Vision ·

In the bright momentum of springtime, you will clarify the visions that are calling your creative life force forward.

· Vices ·

As the summer unfolds, you’ll develop a compassionate understanding of your vices, and choose a more balanced relationship with them.

· Virtue ·

In the harvest season of autumn, you will reap the virtues you have cultivated in this process and see the potent shifts that you created for yourself this year.

Developing this compass for your life is a powerful tool that you will use for years to come.

Your Curriculum for
Thriving in 2026

What You’ll Be Working With

BeginWithin weaves together several disciplines that are rarely integrated in one place. They’re translated into practical insights and practices you can integrate:

Somatic Science
You’ll work with the foundations of all of your life’s patterns: your body. Your relationship with your breath, fascia, felt-sense will be deeply nourished and transformed.

Psycho-Cybernetics & Identity Development
You’ll learn how self-image functions as an internal targeting system, shaping your choices and outcomes. Visualization, repetition, and attention are used intentionally to stabilize and expand who you’re becoming.

Living Systems & Ecology
You’ll come to understand yourself as an interconnected system with the web of life. You will learn how to collaborate with the Living World to shape your life for mutual thriving.

Nervous System & Trauma Resolution
You will gain an understanding of your own nervous system and how survival patterns cycle in our bodies as trauma. Most importantly, you’ll gain knowledge and practices to help you resolve trauma steadily for the rest of your life.

Grounded Spiritual Maturity
We are committed to an expression of spirituality that doesn’t bypass reality, gaslight your lived experience, or ask you to ignore your body, truth, or needs. What your spirituality looks like is going to be unique to you, and we are here to affirm your right to cut through bullshit.

Athletic Periodization Principles
The pacing of this program is intentional, and draws from the guidance that supports elite athletes to reach superhuman goals. That means that sustainable load, realistic progression, seasonal focus, and rest are all built into the structure so growth doesn’t come at the cost of burnout.

BeginWithin is where all of these disciplines braid together into something you can genuinely integrate into your life.

What You’ll Receive

By the end of 2026, you will have come to understand yourself, your potential, and the path to fulfilling it in a way that will nourish your growth for years to come.

You’ll have:

  • A Life Compass you can use and recalibrate in every season of your life to come.

  • A set of daily practices that reliably support your nervous system. You will develop these through your own authentic desire, not us dictating to you.

  • A clear understanding of who you are and who you’re becoming that will organically grow, develop, and deepen throughout the year.

  • A practical map of your somatic, emotional, and behavioral patterns so they no longer rule your life or sabotage your dreams.

  • A Somatic Library of breath techniques, movement practices, and Embodied Visualization Meditations.

  • A set of philosophies and principles you trust, because you’ve tested them in real life.

  • A different relationship with your body, energy, and attention that supports your health, energy, creativity, intimacy, and ability to direct your life for years to come.

  • A foundation that prevents burnout and fragmentation. Rather than reacting or just keeping your head above water, you will have solid ground to design and build the rest of your life from.

  • A long-term rhythm for self-evolution so that you feel clear about your ability to steer and direct your life, for the rest of your life. We are not trying to be gurus, we want to be effective companions on a path of collective evolution.

And most importantly:

You will close this year with a thriving, coherent inner world that matches the external life you’re building.

Meet Your Companions

Why did we create this?

Four years ago, while Ganga Devi was pregnant, we had serious conversations about the future we want to create for our child. Those conversations became the basis of the rest of our lives’ work. We sat down together with a whiteboard and asked a simple but weighty question:

If we had to distill everything we’ve learned, across decades of study, practice, and lived experience, what would actually matter most for someone trying to live a meaningful, coherent life that effects the world toward greater pattern integrity?

We asked ourselves what, if understood and lived by a critical mass, would genuinely change how we relate to ourselves, our relationships, our work, and the world toward more connection and better outcomes for all.

We asked ourselves what people consistently came to us for — clarity, steadiness, depth, and a way of making choices that felt aligned across systems and seasons. From that place, we outlined twelve core lessons: principles that kept showing up across esoteric traditions, physiology, psychology, somatic practice, and living systems thinking.

What was sketched on that whiteboard has been refined, tested, and lived ever since.

BeginWithin is the result of that long, careful distillation. We intend for this material to reach thousands of people without sacrificing the depth and connection that is essential for real, holistic growth. We welcome you to be a vital part of this evolution by joining us in the Beta version of this work in 2026.

Ganga Devi Braun

Living Systems Theorist

Ganga Devi’s work sits at the intersection of ecology, spirituality, culture, systems strategy, and embodied living. She brings a deep reverence for the living world into everything she creates, with a particular sensitivity to rhythm, relationship, and the unseen dimensions that shape how life unfolds.

Her background spans interspiritual study, contemplative practice, systems thinking, and years of guiding people toward lives that are more rooted, responsive, and relational. Much of her work is devoted to reminding humanity that we are not separate from the living world, we belong to it, and our healing and the healing of the whole is inseparable.

His approach is grounded, precise, and deeply practical, shaped by years of working one-to-one with high performing clients navigating real, complex lives.

He is especially interested in how coherence is built, how values, habits, embodiment, and inner narratives either align or fragment over time, and how we can cultivate steadiness and agency without force or burnout.

Resonance Check

BeginWithin is a year-long relationship with how you live, choose, and orient your life.

Before joining, we invite you to pause and ask yourself a simple question:

What do I actually want this coming year to be about?

Who This Is Not For

This may not be the right fit if you are planning for 2026 to be about:

  • Pushing yourself hard while ignoring what your body is signaling

  • Personal success at all costs, regardless of relational or ethical fallout

  • Chasing breakthroughs without tending what actually sustains you

  • Fixing your life by changing external circumstances alone

  • Collecting frameworks, knowledge, or intense experiences without slowing down enough to integrate and live them.

BeginWithin isn’t built for intensity, urgency, or performance. It’s built for people ready to move differently.

Who This Is For

This will be an amazing fit for you if in 2026 you are prioritizing:

  • Honoring and living fully as Your Authentic Self

  • Coherence over hustle

  • Depth over speed

  • Steadiness over spurts self-improvement

  • Decisions that feel aligned, not reactive

  • Living from your values rather than compromising them for the sake of others

  • Growth that genuinely improves the quality of your relationship and your entire life.

  • Integration of the wisdom that you’ve already earned in your life so far.

If you’ve done a lot of inner work and are ready to live from it, BeginWithin will feel like home for you.

If you are still feeling resonance, read on to learn how we want to co-create with you this coming year!

Community & Connection

Growth Happens in Relationship

We all know someone who went to a workshop or retreat to improve themselves and came back harder to be around. This is an antidote to that. We see all meaningful growth as happening in relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the living world we belong to.

So we have designed this as a year-long relational field you can engage with in ways that fit your real life, and we encourage you to share what you are learning and experiencing with the people you love.

Connection here is available,
optional, and will adapt to your
expressed needs and requests.

  • Throughout the year, you’ll have access to several layers of connection:

    Monthly Office Hours
    Live, open spaces with Seth and Ganga for reflection, integration, and shared inquiry. Come to listen, ask questions, or just have a conversation about whatever is coming up for you.

    Peer-Led Study & Practice Sessions
    Participants are invited to host or co-host sessions around shared interests, practices, or themes emerging from the material. These might be reflective, somatic, conversational, or creative.

    A Shared Community Calendar
    All members can add events they want to offer or invite others into — conversations, study groups, local meetups, movement sessions, or experiments in practice.

    Discussion & Sharing Thread (Optional)
    A shared space to reflect, ask questions, and share insights as they arise. You’re welcome to come and go as it suits you. There is no expectation of constant engagement.

    Small Group & Group Chats
    We can create private spaces for:

    • Families or friends who enroll together

    • Groups connected by geography

    • Shared goals, interests, or life stages

    These spaces are for deeper, more intimate connection when that feels supportive.

  • No one likes to feel a constant pressure to engage, inlcuding us.

    We expect — and design for — natural fluctuations in engagement.

    There may be seasons when you’re very present in the community.
    There may be seasons when you step back, listen quietly, or focus inward.

    Both are welcome.

    BeginWithin does not reward constant visibility or penalize absence. The structure is steady and spacious enough to hold the changes that will unfold in your life.

  • One reason we’ve offered a sliding-scale model is to make it easier to join with the people you want to grow with this coming year: partners, friends, family, or collaborators.

    You will learn frameworks and practices for thriving that you will want to share with the people you do life with. Your vocabulary, your worldview, your sense of what is possible for yourself will expand, and there is no greater feeling than anchoring that growth with the people you love most.

    Over time, our longer-term vision is that BeginWithin gives rise to multidimensional social clubs, groups who meet in person, sharing their authentic selves, deepening in shared personal development and collective evolution.

    If you join with a group of your people and you’d like a dedicated group chat on our EMUNAH platform, please feel welcome to reach out and let us know! We’ll be happy to set that up for you.

    And even if you don’t enroll with your closest friends or partner, we do hope you will share what you learn and experience throughout the year with them, because it will help you to embody it all the more deeply.

  • The frameworks, practices, and material in BeginWithin are well-tested and refined.

    It’s the community cohort dimension that we are excited to experiment with this year.

    We are far too familiar with something being called a community that actually turns into high-pressure, borderline-cult, or just a place that doesn’t feel good to be in.

    We don’t want that. That’s why we want to build this with you.

    In future years, we intend this program to reach thousands. We are building it toward that scale with a deep consideration for the level of connection and support that truly makes a difference.

    So we ask that if you join this year,

    • We expect honest feedback

    • We will listen closely to what supports real connection

    • We will adapt structures as needs and desires become clearer

    If you’re someone who wants to help shape how this kind of community actually works you’re exactly who we’re hoping to build with.

AN EXPERIMENT IN GENEROSITY & TRUST

For the 2026 Founding Cohort Only

BeginWithin is the system we’ve been building with one-on-one clients for years. We’ve been refining, iterating, and pressure-testing it through real lives, real relationships, and real transformations. Working privately with us in a way that integrates every part of BeginWithin runs well over $6,000.

As a slow-and-steady year long cohort, we have priced the full program value at $1,200 for the year. But because this is our first collective cohort, because we know that among us there are a wide range of financial realities, and because we want to build it with you, we’re offering a sliding scale for 2026.

Choose the tier that reflects your life and your capacity. We do not ask for proof or justification for your choice.  Everyone receives the same full experience.

We trust you to make the choice that’s right for you,
and we’re here to support if your circumstances change.

  • $25/month

    Seed is a significantly reduced rate for those whose financial reality makes the full price inaccessible.

    You’ll receive the full program, with the same depth, access, and community connection as every member.

    🌰 Supporting a family on limited resources

    🌰 Stretched thin as a caregiver

    🌰 A student, recent graduate, or in a career transition

    🌰 Carrying significant financial responsibilities that limit discretionary spending

    This tier honors the truth of your current season while still welcoming you fully into the work.

  • $50/month

    Root is a reduced rate for those on a stable financial footing who can comfortably invest in personal growth, without having significant discretionary income.

    You’ll receive the full program, with the same depth, access, and community connection as every member.

    Please choose this if you are:

    🌱 Earning a steady income

    🌱 Able to invest in personal development, but only within a moderate range

    🌱 Someone who can contribute more than the Seed tier, but for whom the full program rate would stretch your budget

    This tier reflects a fair and balanced exchange for the value you’re receiving while respecting the realities of your financial life.

    Choose root

  • $100/month

    Grove is the rate that reflects the full value of BeginWithin. Selecting this option if it is accessible to you validates the trust we are extending by offering the sliding scale.

    Please choose this if you are:

    🌳 Financially comfortable or resourced

    🌳 Able to invest in personal development as a meaningful priority

How BeginWithin Lives Inside Your Real Life

A rhythm of wisdom and guidance back home to yourself rather than a pressurized program you need to keep up with.

Rather than asking you to push, optimize, or stay on track, this experience meets you where you are, and remains available as your life inevitably shifts. The structure is strong enough to support real change, and spacious enough to adapt to the realities of being human. Most people will spend 30–90 minutes a week with the material, depending on the season of life they’re in. 

Some weeks, you’ll listen while you walk.

Some months, you’ll sit with a single question and let it work on you quietly.

Some seasons, you’ll write daily. Others, you’ll reflect once and feel the integration unfold over time.

You may find yourself:

  • listening during movement, rest, or transitions

  • journaling in short bursts or longer, spacious sessions

  • returning to the same practice across weeks or months

  • noticing shifts through repetition rather than effort

This work is meant to integrate into your days, not compete with them.

This work is meant to deepen your closest relationships, not develop you away from them.

This work is about strengthening your relationship with the living world, so that you can thrive wholly as Your Authentic Self.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • There’s no required time commitment.

    Most people spend anywhere from:

    • 30–90 minutes per week engaging with material or practice

    • More during reflective seasons, less during busy ones

    You can listen while walking, journal briefly, return to a practice over weeks, or step back when needed. The design supports fluctuation.

  • There’s nothing to fall behind on.

    All materials released with each New Moon Drop will remain available throughout the year. The work is designed to be revisited and layered, not completed or checked off. You can re-enter at any point without penalty.

  • Community is available, optional, and will evolve based on the needs and desires of this first cohort.

    You’ll have access to:

    • Monthly office hours

    • Optional discussion and sharing threads

    • Peer-led sessions and a shared community calendar

    • Small group or group chats if you want closer connection

    Some people will engage often. Others dip in occasionally or mostly work privately. All approaches are welcome.

  • No. BeginWithin is not therapy, and it doesn’t replace individualized mental health care.

    It is trauma-informed, somatically grounded, and designed to support self-awareness, stabilization, and integration. If you’re in acute crisis or need intensive one-on-one support, this may not be the right container right now.

  • Good!

    BeginWithin is designed specifically for people who have already done growth work and are ready for integration, coherence, and continuity.

    Rather than adding more techniques, it helps you organize what you already know into a living, usable framework.

  • Enrollment is a commitment to the full year.

    You can choose to:

    • Pay in full

    • Or pay monthly over the year

    Because access to the full container is provided immediately, payments are non-refundable.

    That said:

    • If by the end of February you feel this is not the right space for you, you may cancel with no further payments due.

    • If your financial situation changes during the year, you can reach out and we’ll work with you to adjust your payment plan.

  • We want BeginWithin to be accessible while still sustainable.

    The sliding scale reflects different financial capacities — not different levels of access or belonging. Everyone receives the same experience. Your tier simply reflects your current ability to give and receive.

  • Yes! We encourage it!

    Many people enroll alongside partners, family members, or close friends. We can also create private group spaces if you’re joining together or discover a shared focus with others.

    If you would like to pay for others, once you make your initial purchase, just DM us on the platform and we’ll help you and your people get set up.

  • The material and practices are well-tested. The community dimension is something we are actively shaping with participants who want to be honest about what real connection actually requires.

    Your feedback matters, and the structure will evolve as we learn together.

  • If you’re drawn to steadiness over intensity, coherence over hustle, and growth that improves your real life — not just your inner world — BeginWithin will likely feel like home.

    If you’re still unsure, trust that pause. You’re welcome to take your time. Enrollment will close on January 10th
