SenseMaking in a Time Between Worlds

Humanity stands at a crossroads. A moment of almost unbearable intensity, potential, and change. The fate of complex life on Earth is being decided right now. And the choice before us is simple: love or die.

The old narratives that have guided humanity in the past are collapsing, the new story is not yet born. The only response to the root cause of global existential risk is to articulate a New Story of Value as a context for our diversity. Every Sunday, Dr. Marc Gafni offers a free live teaching to make sense of the meta-crisis, and lay the next brick in that new story of value.

Join Dr. Marc Gafni every Sunday to weave together the best validated insights across all domains of human knowledge and gnosis into a Story of Value we call CosmoErotic Humanism.

Join us live this Sunday.

What people are saying

Here are some of the people who come every week, sharing what these teachings have made possible in their lives.

Elias

Dorothea

Kerstin

A place where I can come together with other people who feel as passionate as I do about changing our world.

— Jacqueline Clark

I had been drawn to integral programs for years, but I didn't get most of them. Ken Wilber was too intellectual for me, hard to grasp. Then I stumbled on Marc Gafni. Now I can't wait for Sunday. I stay excited and open all day.

— Penny Lane

The spiritual community of the mystic-scientist Teilhard de Chardin I've been searching for.

— Jamie Long

Who We Must Become has liberated me from a sense of powerlessness that I had because I didn't know myself and my role fully. It is fun, depth, work, power, communion, purpose, love, all of it. Just the place to be.

— Dorothea, Therapist

A very strong transmission of energy—opening heart, opening consciousness. It is changing my life.

— Rob van der Loo

There is bounteous wisdom here, all shared with an open and connected heart. There is magic here, a blending of many worldviews, all with soul and purpose.

— Duncan McClintock

If you are beyond traditional religious confines and are transforming to have a heart that embraces all of life, this family is a great connection.

— Kevin Wallace

What rises to the top is an understanding of Unique Self. Before I really got that concept, I just thought I was a strange duck. My unique gifts make my heart sing.

— Joyce Pfaffle

Marc has taught me the way to evolve from where we are as a culture, to the more beautiful world we all know is possible. He presents a unique way that integrates ancient philosophy with modern sciences, as well as the philosophies of enlightenment from the East.

— Alexandre Lenoir, Life Coach

Until I heard the teachings of Dr. Marc Gafni I had low self esteem and lived my life mostly to please others. For me the teachings are memories from my heart and soul. So if you are (soul)searching, or you don't like the way you are living right now, you want to discover your Unique Gifts and share them with your loved ones and the world, this is the place to be.

— Suzanne Van Doorn, Holland
