Week 4: Tapping into Sphere Intelligence.
Wednesday 12 Feb
2 pm CET / 3 pm SAST / 8 am EDT
POD:
This week, we invite you to explore Sphere Intelligence—an expanded way of knowing that moves beyond either/or thinking.
The goal is not to prioritise one way of knowing over another, but to experiment with a fuller spectrum of perception.
We often over-rely on rational thought or dismiss certain insights as “just a feeling” or “just imagination.” But what if we could engage all of our ways of knowing—physical senses, somatic awareness, intuition, pattern recognition, and synchronicity—without needing to prove or justify them immediately?
This week’s activities invite you to play with perception and notice what emerges.
Group Practices: Playing with Connection & Awareness
Choose one or two of the activities below and approach them as experiments in deep listening—not just with your ears, but with your whole awareness.
1. Intuitive Counting: Tuning into Group Rhythm
A deceptively simple game that builds connection and awareness. Together, count aloud from 1 upwards—but with a twist: only one person can speak at a time, and there’s no predetermined order. If two or more people speak simultaneously, you start over at 1.
💡 Notice:
- How do you sense when to speak?
- What shifts when you listen to the group’s energy instead of planning your move?
- How does the group’s rhythm evolve?
2. The Silent Mirror: Moving as One
Pair up with another person in a breakout room. One person leads with slow, mindful movement, while the other mirrors them as closely as possible. After a few minutes, switch roles. The goal is fluid, wordless synchronicity—feeling rather than thinking your way through the exercise.
💡 Notice:
- When does following feel effortless? When does it feel forced?
- Do you feel a shift in awareness as you mirror or lead?
- What happens if you soften your focus and feel the movement rather than analyze it?
3. Synchronicity Drawing: Collective Expression
Each person takes a piece of paper and begins drawing without planning or discussing. Let your hand move intuitively. After a few minutes, share your drawings and look for patterns, themes, or unexpected synchronicities.
💡 Notice:
- Are there common shapes, colors, or emotions across the drawings?
- How does it feel to create without a goal or expectation?
- Do any images or patterns resonate with your current experiences?
Personal Practice: Exploring the Subtle Senses
This week, we invite you to experiment with subtle perception in your daily life. Instead of asking, “Is this intuition or fantasy?”, try stepping into curious observation.
💡 Try this simple daily check-in:
- Pause & Notice: Pick a moment in your day—before making a decision, during a walk, or in a quiet moment. Tune into your whole perception:
- What do your physical senses pick up?
- What does your body feel? (Tension, ease, warmth, openness?)
- Is there an image, phrase, or sensation that arises?
- Do any synchronicities or patterns emerge?
- Engage in Dialogue: If a thought, image, or feeling arises, ask it a question as if it were a person.
- What are you here to show me?
- How do I know if you’re useful?
- If you had a message for me, what would it be?
- Track Over Time: If something feels unclear, shelve it rather than dismiss it. Keep a small notebook or note in your phone. See if patterns or insights emerge over the week.
💡 Guiding Reflection:
- Did anything feel more tangible or weighted over time?
- Were certain insights emotionally neutral, while others carried fear or excitement?
- How did playing with subtle perception change how you move through your day?
Call details:
At this time when we are collectively navigating moments of clenching, bracing, heartache and hope, this fourth live session invites you to rediscover different ways of navigating change, transition and uncertainty.
We will expand our repertoire of responses beyond the rational and explore intuition, subtle senses and expanded states of consciousness.
We’ll illuminate how to take meaningful action and create movement within the WaysFinder Framework, weaving together insights from wisdom traditions like the Polynesian Wayfinders, spiritual knowledge, and modern science like quantum theory.
You’ll also be guided through a few practices designed to invite in experiments, helping you take your first small, intentional steps forward.
Content
We recommend that you revisit your draft WaysFinder and make tweaks where needed.
A helpful question is:
What feedback mechanisms do I need to implement to enable me to make my first few small steps?
Use the Adaptive Action process to help you identify your next wise action.
Now that you have gained more knowledge and insight into the WaysFinder Framework, reading through the workbook again and revisiting the questions can be helpful.
Preparation
In preparation for our call, we highly recommend this daily practice: Morning Pages
Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning.
There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages.
They are not high art.
They are not even “writing.”
They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind and are for your eyes only.
Morning Pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritise and synchronise the day at hand.
Do not over-think Morning Pages: just put three pages of anything on the page…
And then do three more pages tomorrow.

Plus, we’d like you to pay attention to dreams and “synchronicities” and note them down.
“People say what they are seeking is the meaning of life. I don’t think that is what we are really seeking. I think what we are seeking is an experience of being alive.”
