Deep Intelligence

Your attention is one of your most important assets and has already become a commodity bought, sold, and successfully algorithmed to entrap. You may have noticed that it’s harder to finish a book than it used to be 20 years ago. Or that it’s tough to stay focused for more than 10 minutes on a task.

With that degraded ability to focus, comes the degraded ability to be creative, deep thinking, connection making, productive in your pursuits and on and on.

You need your attention for everything.

The good news: you can get it back!!!

Through the practices that develop your Deep Intelligence, meditation, reading, and other forms of deliberate mindfulness – you can reclaim and grow your ability to experience Flow states and the magic of deep immersion in all areas of your life.

There is a growing epidemic of loneliness that our modern society and use of technologies has engendered.

In the same way social media whittled away our attention, AI is poised to do the same with our ability to connect and develop deep intimacy in our lives.

Being able to connect deeply with ourselves, our partners, our community, and humanity as a whole is paramount to our well-being and health as a species.

Developing your DI will grow your ability to feel and be felt which blossoms into the deep connections that are fundamental to a good life.

At the Center for Deep Intelligence, community is the cornerstone where you can dip into your DI with others, learn, play, and grow in connection.

Deep Intelligence is primarily a non-verbal form of intelligence which means … a primary access point to it … is your body.

Dropping down beneath the isolated ego-thinking mind (which we are usually socially educated to value above all else), necessitates a healthy, feeling relationship with your body.

Wisdom traditions through the ages have known this, and the West is catching up with the somatic, poly-vagal modalities seen in mental health, trauma work, and spiritual growth.

You can’t get to the core of your being (DI) by tweaking your thinking. You must come down to your first unconscious mind – your body.

As your embodied sensitivity grows, your intuition will speak louder and more clearly, and your ability to deeply feel and connect with others will blossom.

The environment we are living in is becoming more and more like a fantastical mirage. Sometimes for fun, and sometimes for influential, and even malicious purposes.

Externally – being able to tell what we see and hear on social networks, the news, any online platform is getting harder.

Internally – with our dwindling attention and growing disembodiment, sensing our own truths, beneath conditioning and habits, is becoming harder and harder.

In order to steer yourself well in this increasingly illusory environment, and make good decisions for yourself – you MUST be able to discern what is True from what is not.

Your awareness and sensitivity to inner and outer truth that developing your DI skills brings is invaluable in an increasingly fuzzy landscape.

We saw with the pandemic of 2020 how destabilizing it was for everything to change so fast AND at a grand scale. Expect that, but faster.

The ability to surf uncertainty, instead of being frozen, or freaked out by it will determine how you fare in a time of accelerating change.

Connection to your Deep Intelligence will help you with the day-to-day issues of changing work, relationships, geopolitical situations, and inner questions of identity when who you’ve been no longer serves the territory and context of your life.

You will have an easier time with a healthy detachment, adaptation, and increased resilience so you can thrive through change.

With all the change and tumult ahead, issues like job loss are the more obvious ones, but even beyond that, our sense of who we are, what we’re doing, and why we matter are coming up. There is a deepening uncertainty in our careers and our very identity.

Consuming more and distracting ourselves are encouraged, in fact designed for in our current systems, but they’ll only take us so far, if not in the opposite direction of vital living.

DI, with it’s inherent base being YOUR connection to YOUR truest self, supports the deeper exploration of what is most meaningful and fulfilling to YOU in YOUR  life.

Discovering your way of connecting to and creating something that is bigger and outside yourself will be a key way to experience deep meaning and purpose, no matter what the Age of AI brings.
