Tyler's Ecstatic Learning Journey - a Brief Story

What’s Ecstatic Learning? It’s like

Ecstatic Dance⁠

... but for learning.

⁠

I began my Ecstatic Learning Journey with 2 simple commitments.

100% honesty with myself and others

Do more of what gives me energy, and less of what takes my energy

⁠

I followed Rilke’s compelling advice to “

live the questions now⁠

,” featuring questions like:

Are we experiencing civilizational collapse?

If so, how do I want to live? Who do I want to become in this context? What is an ethical life in this context?

How much meditation is too much meditation?

Is hyper-progressive climate justice

Green New Deal⁠

activism helping anything?

What's regenerative culture, and is this

SEEDS⁠

thing actually going to work?

⁠

From October 2019-March 2021, living those questions looked like:

Designing my own curriculum and devoting 20+ hours/week to reading, watching, listening, digesting, writing about, meditating about, talking about, singing about a myriad of topics that were way more compelling than what I found in university, including:

Civilizational collapse theory,

Transition Design⁠

Civilization Design⁠

, systems science and thinking, regenerative culture design (including regenerative economics & finance), cognitive linguistics, psychology, social movement theory, metamodernism, metaphysics, jazz

Volunteering as a climate justice community organizing leader in

Sunrise Movement⁠

‘s New Haven, Connecticut Hub

⁠

Designing a 10-week immersive course⁠

from all that I was learning and teaching it to my fellow activists

Learning in emergent COVID-era Zoom learning ecosystems like:

⁠

The Stoa⁠

Earth Regenerators⁠

The Consilience Project⁠

Volunteers,

SEEDS⁠

⁠

Then, I decided to try applying some of this theory by:

Spending 3 months weaving a

bioregional regenerative economy⁠

and digging water retention ditches in Barichara Colombia alongside one of my mentors

Practicing the art of DHOing (Decentralized Holonic/Human Organizing) and helping write a book about it:

The Chronicles of Samara⁠

Co-facilitating the founding of

Samara Trust⁠

, a decentralized ‘Harmonic Human Organization’

⁠

Along the way, I was:

Invited to “initiate my genius”, “activate my blueprint”, and “step into my full power as a multidimensional sovereign being” by the

Institute for Applied Multidimensionality⁠

(IAM)

Supported by

Samara Sanctuary Studios⁠

and IAM to build and fund my current expression of Love-In-Action:

OmniHarmonic Ventures⁠

, a multidimensional, multicapital Venture Capital Firm investing in high-impact, heart-source ventures of healing, regeneration, and cultural and economic evolution.

⁠

Now, I’m:

Chief Emanating Officer of OmniHarmonic Ventures

Facilitador de Flujo at

Tuq’tuquilal Regenerative Impact Center⁠

, an OmniHarmonic Venture

Treasurer at Samara Trust
