The book is the map. The work is the sitting.

Moments Awake® Self-Inquiry is, at its heart, a practice done in company — in sessions and small groups where the patterns of the Occupant can be traced patiently, in real time, with someone holding the inquiry alongside you.

If what you’ve read here or in the book has landed, and you’d like to explore the work directly, this is where to begin.

What working together looks like

Sessions. One-to-one inquiry: patient, direct tracing of the patterns as they actually run in your life — not talking about the work, but doing it. Sessions are unhurried and practical. Nothing is performed; nothing needs to be achieved.

Groups. Small self-inquiry groups meeting monthly. The work in company has its own quality — hearing another practitioner’s pattern traced often illuminates your own. As licensed facilitators complete their accreditation, local groups will open in more areas; add your name below to hear when one opens near you.

Retreats. In time, residential self-inquiry retreats in Tasmania. Join the list below to hear when these open.

Who this is for — and who it isn’t

This work meets people most often at a particular point: when the effort of maintaining a self has become tiring enough to be noticed. If that describes you, you are in the right place. No background in meditation or spiritual practice is required — only genuine willingness to look.

Two honest boundaries:

This is not therapy. The inquiry is complementary to clinical care, never a replacement for it. If you are in acute psychological distress, or have a history of psychiatric illness, the right first conversation is with a qualified clinician. The inquiry will still be here.

This is not a quick technique. The work asks for real practice — sitting, noticing, returning. What it offers in exchange is not a better version of you, but something quieter and more substantial.
