Most of us have spent years trying to upgrade ourselves—through healing, fixing, optimizing, and manifesting—hoping it will finally bring us the peace we crave.

But what if the core assumption behind most self-development is flawed? What if the one doing all the seeking, the “separate self,” is the very illusion standing in the way of lasting fulfillment?

Protocol ONE is an invitation to pause that loop entirely.

To stop running. To turn inward.

And discover what’s already quietly here: the Deep Awesome Silence (DAS) of your true nature. This is not a method for fixing you. It’s a direct glimpse into what has never been broken.

The Deep Awesome Silence isn’t a metaphor or mystical abstraction. It’s your baseline state beneath all identities, fears, and goals.

When you contact this stillness, even briefly, something shifts. The seeking softens. The nervous system quiets. And life starts to feel spacious again.

Protocol ONE draws from timeless nondual wisdom and is infused with practical, modern insights. Rather than pushing you toward “achievement,” it gently opens the space for remembering who you are before the story of “me” began.

The format is simple and grounded: short daily sessions (20–40 minutes), experiential rather than theoretical, supported by reflective prompts to deepen your integration.

You won’t be overwhelmed by ideas or philosophies.

You’ll be invited into presence.

The journey may be short, but the shift can be profound.

Welcome to the 14-Day Awakening Intensive.

Welcome to what’s always been here.

Welcome to Protocol ONE.

Length & Format 14-day on-demand intensive. Start anytime. Each day includes 20–40 minutes of practice, with a mix of guided sessions, energetic support, and optional reflection prompts.

Everything is online and instantly accessible.

First Day: Orientation & Framework

The first session is a bit longer, laying the foundation.

We explore:

• High level overview of the full Protocol ONE model (Open, Nurture, Embody)

• Maps of awakening across nondual traditions

• The paradox of direct vs. progressive paths

• What Deep Awesome Silence (DAS) actually is, and how to recognize it

  Days 2–14: Daily Practice Each day focuses primarily on the Open phase, supporting a direct glimpse into the Deep Awesome Silence of your true nature.

  Practices are designed to pause egoic identification and offer experiential clarity.

  Practices Include

• Direct pointing & self-inquiry (e.g., “Who is aware?”)

• Nervous system grounding

• Energetic resonance and transmission

• Stillness anchoring and micro-meditations

• Gentle self-reflection to notice shifts

  Light Touch on Nurture & Embody

  While the core emphasis is on Open, you’ll also get a taste of how this recognition integrates into daily life.

  Brief moments of reflection and embodiment will point toward:

• Emotional healing through non-resistance

• Living presence in relationships, creativity, and action

  Optional Reflections

• What does awareness feel like today?

• Is there more space around thoughts or emotions?

• What would it be like to live from this stillness?

  Access & Flow

  Start anytime. Go at your own rhythm. All content is pre-recorded and available on-demand. You can revisit sessions as often as you like.

  Optional community space available for shared insights and support.

Protocol ONE isn’t here to give you another theory to memorize or belief system to adopt. It’s designed to give you a direct, experiential taste of who you are beyond the mind—what we call Deep Awesome Silence (DAS). This is not a high-concept idea, but a felt reality that’s already present underneath the noise.

Here’s what you can expect if you engage with sincerity and curiosity:

1. A Real Glimpse of DAS. You may experience moments of stillness where thoughts lose their grip, and what remains is simple, peaceful awareness. This glimpse can feel subtle or profound—but either way, it leaves a lasting impression.

2. Disruption of the Egoic Pattern. As you pause identification with your personal story, your usual mental loops might quiet down. You might notice: Less compulsion to fix or chase things A sense of relief, even if fleeting An unexpected ease in just being

3. A Clearer Inner Landscape. With less noise, perception sharpens.

Perhaps:

• Sensing a deeper “you” behind thoughts

• A softening of emotional reactivity

• Feeling more grounded, even during challenge
  
  4. Resistance and Doubt (Totally Normal). Some days might feel flat, confusing, or even confronting. That’s part of the process. You're not doing it wrong, you're seeing where your ego structure pushes back. Those moments are gold if met with curiosity rather than force.

  5. A Fresh Relationship With Daily Life. Even small shifts in awareness change how you show up.
  
  You might notice more presence in simple moments:

• Drinking tea

• Talking to a friend

• Walking to the store
  
  These aren’t spiritual “achievements”—they’re signs that the Deep Awesome Silence is starting to live through you.
  
  6. No Fireworks Needed. Some people have vivid openings. Others feel something quieter—an unexplainable okayness. Both are valid. This isn't about chasing a peak moment. It’s about anchoring a new baseline of being.

I’m not here to give you all the answers (I don't have them).

I’m here to walk with you into the silence that’s already whispering beneath your thoughts.

To create the conditions where insight can spark, not through pressure or performance, but through deep honesty and presence.

My own path began with mindfulness. I was looking for calm, control, a way to feel better. That exploration opened into deeper terrain, eventually leading me into the study of Integral Theory, nondual teachings like Dzogchen, and the radically simple power of self-inquiry.

Along the way, I trained as a therapist, coach, and meditation teacher. But the real breakthroughs didn’t come from techniques, they came from learning how to truly listen to what was already here.

Over time, I discovered that the most powerful path is the one that honors both ancient wisdom and modern life. I began blending timeless traditions like Advaita, Dzogchen, and Sufi mysticism with what we know now about trauma, nervous system regulation, and energetic transmission.

Protocol ONE is a living example of that synthesis. This isn’t a fixed method. It’s a curated set of practices that let you experiment, so you can find what truly fits you. Not everything will resonate equally. That’s okay. We don’t worship the form here. We follow what works.

Protocol ONE is what I call non-self-development. It doesn’t try to fix the “you” that feels broken. It invites you to meet the part of you that was never broken to begin with. I’m not a guru. I’m a father, husband, recovering seeker who cares deeply about making awakening feel possible, and livable, for anyone who is interested in this stuff.

You won’t be pushed to believe anything. But you’ll be gently challenged to look. To feel. To question. To trust your direct experience. And maybe, just maybe, to recognize what’s always been here: your Deep Awesome Silence.
