What Is the Core Model?
The Core Model is not just a philosophy. It's a living map for real change.
At its heart lies a bold question: "What happens when we stop fixing ourselves and instead listen deeply to what’s already whole?"
Core offers a unique synthesis of:
NLP & conscious language practices
Shadow work and identity transformation
Non-dual and spiritual psychology
Body-based presence and somatic anchoring
Hero's journey narrative development
Leadership communication from a place of resonance
The method is delivered through deep coaching, mentoring, live retreats, and online immersions, helping you reconnect with the truth of who you are – and act from that place.
The Core Model – A Map to Inner Awakening
🔴 1. Ego Consciousness → Identification with intellect, personality, and social role.
🟠 2. Systemic & Collective Consciousness → Influences from society, culture, and external systems.
🟢 3. Self-Awareness → The first awakening: observing the ego without being trapped in it.
🔵 4. Transformational Consciousness → Building the courage and inner strength to create change and embrace transformation.
🌿 5. Expanded Consciousness – The Hero’s Journey → Beginning the path of transformation and grounding insights into everyday life.
🔹 6. Holistic & Integrative Consciousness → Integration through deep surrender; accepting what is, with a felt sense of inner freedom.
🔹 7. Spiritual Consciousness → Oneness with life; presence with all that is. A transcendence of personal limitations and identity.
🔹 8. Universal Consciousness → The pure form of awareness – beyond matter, beyond mind – pure energy.
