🍀Alex's Somatic Club!

An Inner Roadtrip.

Guided meditations. 

Powered by the Big Dream Program.

Would you like to bring some more meditation into your life between now and the end of the year?

Let's go. 

Hiya friends,

Might you be interested in a program of regular guided somatic (body-based) meditations with me over the coming, say 90 days (or month‑by‑month)?

 

On topics like...

🛶 Big Dreams, procrastination, feeling aligned inside with what we’re doing on the outside, life purpose or direction, anxiety, torn in too many directions, a challenging situation in your life, starting + finishing what you care about, trusting yourself...

🛶 boundaries, relationship stuff, bringing in more ease, ‘feeling’ where people are coming from vs just the words they use, world-worry paralysis, feeling at home in our skin, where joy hides in the body, what the ankles have to do with overwhelm, unlocking latent gifts

🛶 fear of failure, grounding, impostor syndrome, simplifying, learning somatic micro-moves you can use in stressful situations no matter where you are, quieting the storm inside, creativity…

🛶 and mad-fun somatic adventures like: the one-way glass, Harvey the Gatekeeper, The Ripple Effect, Relationship Resolver

 

It started with this little 'feel-out' to see if anyone was interested⬇

(And they were! We're underway!)

❤️ "I've never encountered anything so rich, deep, creative, yet practical 🙂" ~ Ivana in Serbia

 🙂 WHY: 

I have found somatic meditation is verrrrrrry practical.

At the end of the day, our body FEELS everything we are dreaming of or challenged by. And most of us discount those sensory feelings as secondary to how our lives unfold. I submit they are primary.

I’ve meditated every day for 23 years. Never missed a day. Not because I have any more willpower than anybody else, but because it’s SO DAMN PRACTICAL! It helps me with life’s challenges, gives me insights I wouldn't otherwise come up with using just my brain, and keeps me moving forward towards the things I want to create and do. I would be a very different person without it.

Plus, clients love it. It is the single-most thing I get the most feedback about over the years.

❤️ "Within a week of starting this program, I had such a big paradigm shift about my work in the world that everything immediately felt lighter and more possible."Diane from the United States

❤️ "From someone who’s been lost and is finally seeing the light... this program has put me on a track to create a future that is more in line with myself than I ever thought possible! Jess in New Jersey, USA

 This program is especially well-suited for:

  • Those self-employed (or aspiring to be): who are working with clients, consulting, maybe doing things like practising healing modalities or art, leading workshops to help the planet, or engaging in community-building efforts - or wanting to. Even if that's not you, it's who your friends are 😜.
  • And maverick folks with a fierce independent streak. Project-minded folks who feel deep down that they have something significant to share in the world. But what the hell is it?! They wish to make our world better, with their unique talents, and are also tired of wheel-spinning on this. They just, for the love of all things, want to get frigging started. 👍 
  • You ❤️ the idea of helping others have a better life in some way, making some kind of excellent contribution of help, healing, fun, or beauty in your community or world - to lift others up and help heal our planet.

 

 

 My goals for this:

My goals for this:

  • NOW: An inner adventure together of the finest kind—exploring the inside of ourselves and our lives. New vantage points to discover the beauty and 'workings' under the 'hood' of life... where everything matters. I’ve found there are just some doors we really want to open that we can’t unlock with our brains alone. We need the whole body to do so.

  • DURING AND AFTER: A Somatic Toolbox to serve you afterwards: you come out of it with a highly practical toolbox of somatic techniques and tools that you can bring to bear on the things in your life that matter most to you.

🙂 If my river-side rambles resonate with you...

🔵 Format:

We are beginning with 5 meditations per week (and can adjust later if that’s too many). ALL recorded for those who can’t make it live. My time-zone and schedule isn’t going to suit everyone.

  • You don't have to do them all! I do have an organic progression in mind, but every meditation is stand-alone. Just do the ones that interest you! I highly doubt everyone will want to meditate as often as I do 😜

  • LIVE: Mon, Wed, Fri. at 12pm EST (Toronto-time)

    • Where: Not zoom. Instead, I’m using Circle’s LiveStream service so nobody has to be on camera + it keeps the entire experience here in one place + saves me admin time afterwards!

    • How long: Live meditations will be 30mins or less

  • PRE-RECORDED fun ones from the Library: (Tues, Thurs or anytime you want.)

  • LIBRARY: pick and do the ones you want, from everything we do even if you can’t attend live ones.

  • BONUS calls: with guest meditation-leaders and other fun stuff. Schedule TBD.

 

🟣 DURATION:

Now until end of year: But month-by-month. Try it for a month, me too. If we want to continue two more months, we will. First live call is Monday 13OCT at 12pm EST

 

🟢 Price:

  • FREE for all current, paying members of the Big Dream Program! You are already supporting me beautifully and I wish this to be free for you. If you’re not currently paying but would like to attend this, DM me and we’ll sort it out!

  • $45 CAD/mo for everyone else. Try it for a month, self-cancel after that if you wish. No strings. ($45 CAD ≈ approx $33 USD, £25, €28, $50 AUD)

 

🟠 WHERE:

In my own membership site (no social media sites, no facebook groups! It's our own place. I use a platform called CIRCLE and have ben running my full Big Dream Program in there for more than a year. Our Somatic Club will be a bonus for members of that, but also available to anyone who wishes to apply!

 

8️⃣ And... to be honest, I think it looks pretty nice in here, too. (That's what's most important, right?!) 😜👇

What participants are saying... ❤️

 

It’s been like looking wistfully through the fence of the playground, with all the internal negative dialogue about why adults shouldn’t and musn’t... and having someone come up and gently say, “Go on. This is for you. This is exactly why you’re here.”

6. The Float-Out Model: To launch your new work in the world swiftly!

How it Works... 👇

 

The 3 Core Ingredients of our program ecosystem.

  • The Core Program Lessons: You’ll receive the next set of lessons every other Friday. Tackle them over the weekend, or fit them in whenever suits your schedule. It's all about flexibility — you can dive deep into the material when it suits you best, whether that's Saturday morning with coffee or Tuesday evening after the kids are in bed. Each Module is to designed to help you generate the next 'document' in your overall PLAN (as I mentioned in the video above.)
  • Live Calls & Interaction: Live calls are where the magic happens. While entirely optional, I recommend joining these sessions if you can. They happen once a week; we’ll workshop your ideas, smooth out any kinks, and I'll share extra insights that come up during our discussions — things that aren’t in the core lessons. I also tend to lead guided somatic meditations during these sessions.
  • Accountability: I've heard we’re 3-5x more likely to follow through on things we care about when doing them alongside like-minded folks, and I've built a lot of 'natural' motivation into this to help ease any worry about completing. The % of people completing the last one is 3x higher than the average for online programs, which says a lot. You WILL need to do the work, though, you! No slouching. 😉 But you won't have to go it alone.

 

This structure — DIY learning followed by live interaction — offers the best of both worlds. 

You get the flexibility to work at your own pace, plus the energy and accountability of group sessions. It’s designed to help keep you moving forward, engaged, and supported throughout our adventure together. (So long as you're willing to show up, that is!)

 

Special 👋 to you introverts 🤣: Do you have to be, you know, social?

Haha. I'm an extreme introvert. And that's the question I'd be asking in my head if I were thinking about joining this program. Do I have to, like, talk to anybody? 🤣

I reckon that at least 75% of the participants in here are on the introverted side too. And you know what? We are STILL having a blast together. It's because of WHO these folks are, I reckon. We're all kinda wierd, in a good way, and get that about each other. Maybe it's just so much easier, because we don't have to hide who we really are, like we might have to in 'normal life.'

That being said... no - you don't have to talk to anybody 🤣. Inside our cozy Circle space, you can be as quiet as a mouse if you wish — just do the lessons and watch the live call recordings from the safety of your own cozy solitude. Or, if you’re feeling comfy and inspired, you can dive into the conversations. It is a great place to meet & chat with like-hearted big-dreamers from all over. Lively conversations tend to spark up in the comments under lessons that open up new possibilities for everybody.

I wouldn't be surprised if you made a new friend or two — or maybe even found a collaborator for your next project — that ends up outweighing the value of the program itself. (Though you won't tell me that, because you're really nice and want me to think I'm the best thing in there 😜)

Key Program Details:

  • DATES: Join anytime! You can do the core curriculum in 3 months if you stick at it, and you can stay longer if you wish. There is no hurry.
  • WHERE: Our private membership site, on the Circle platform — It's cozy, off-social-media, and even has its own app for easy access on the go!

 

❤️ My job: People-friendly Program Design:

This program is designed to accommodate our diverse group spanning multiple time zones and busy schedules. Here's how we make that work:

  • Core content is self-paced and released every second week. 
  • Live calls are optional and recorded, so you can watch them when you are free.

  

🙏 Your job: Your Time Commitment 

Please pay close attention to this as it's been an issue for some participants before: This program is just not going to be a fit for you if you can’t set aside the following time, on average, per week:

  • Minimum 3 hours per week: for the 8 core program modules. Lessons build on each other and require your attention. Some weeks may need a bit more time, while others may need less. You can choose to do a little each day or set aside a 4-hour chunk of time once a week, which will usually be sufficient for the lessons plus some of the things below. 
  • Optional 1 hour per week: for live calls (or watching recordings)
  • Additional flexible time: for bonus lessons, optional discussion posts, and chatting with fellow participants.

Sure, you can be flexible if life gets "life-y," (you miss a week, say, and have to double up the next week), and everyone has different learning approaches / speeds, but if this average commitment will not work for you, consider waiting for the completely DIY version (no community component) available in the autumn. 

Pricing:


Investment: $200 CAD per month ≈ approx $140 USD, £115, €140, $220 AUD / month.

  • And 3 months will get you through the entire core curriculum.
  • It takes 90 days for the full curriculum to unroll. And so, if you stick around for 3 months, you will get the entire curriculum.

 

You can stay one month, or as many as you like:

It's like a gym membership, but without strings 🙂 - it's month by month and I EXPECT folks to leave when they got what they want, or I'm not doing my job properly! 

  • This support of my work gives ME the support I need to keep this accessible
  • And YOU access to everything outlined here, along with the support and encouragement of a like-hearted community.

 

Bottom line: You are free to leave anytime:

  • At the 3mo point, or sooner if it's not fit or if something comes up!

Many in here have chosen to stay a few months longer, but it's entirely up to you. Same price per month regardless of how you long the BDP Adventure is useful to you!

 

Refund Policy:
I don’t offer refunds for partial months, as I believe this program is priced very affordably for what it includes. Even completing half of the lessons should be more than worth this investment. Wait until you see them! 😜

While I can’t force you to engage with the lessons—that responsibility is yours—if you start the program and decide it’s not the right fit for you, you can cancel at that time and won’t be charged for the remaining months. Sound fair?

"for the love of God send them to Alex..."

If you know anyone who is trying to figure out ‘what the eff to do with their life’, who’s really stuck, who’s got a lot of interests and talents, and gifts and genius, but hasn’t found a way to turn that into income, for the love of God send them to Alex. This is Alex’s definite genius of helping people figure out how to thread that needle which is not easy to do, and impossible when you’re the person IN it, cuz you just can’t see the forest for the trees. ~Tad Hargrave, Marketing for Hippies

Jeanne Wolz

“He is the first person I worked with that I felt like gets it and can help me.”

I came to Alex after a few years of really just losing hope that I was going to find work that was meaningful to me. And that fit the lifestyle I really dreamed of. He is the first person I worked with that I felt like gets it and can help me.

He is so good at getting you out of a one track mind, I came to him because I didn't want to be what I was before. But I couldn't get myself to think in a different way. If you're considering working with Alex, I highly recommend it. ~Jeanne Wolz

Amelia Vogler

"After Alex, I have a global practice, speak on stages..."

For years I was afraid to dream big because it would mean that I would have to show up in my native and authentic gifts. I was immobilized by being comfortable. After Alex, I have a global practice, speak on stages - under lights, and allow myself to offer a space for healing that I didn’t know was possible. I can’t more enthusiastically jump for joy, share hips and hoorays, and hold one of those big foam fingers in the direction of Alex and his work. Go that way…. your dream is too important not to. ~ xx Amelia, North Carolina  |  www.ameliavogler.com

❤️ "one of the most transformative experiences in my personal development journey.

What makes his approach exceptional is his ability to blend deep wisdom about life as an interconnected ecosystem with practical, grounded guidance. He masterfully balances encouraging us to pursue a meaningful life while maintaining a realistic perspective."

~ Eduardo Gómez from South America

❤️ "For someone standing on the verge of possibility for so long,

but not knowing how to leap or even take the next step or trust that it’s okay to dream big, or dream small or trust my inner knowing, Alex’s Big Dream Program is not only giving me the encouragement (“Big dreams are open doors!”) but the tools and the templates to make sense of all of my acquired ‘things’ so I can actually share them with the world."

~ Gina Loree Bryan, Pennsylvania USA, https://www.embodygrace.com

 

❤️ "This Course is like the Inner Game of Business, except that I’ll never think of business quite the same way again…

and there’s loads of practical information too, along with very inspiring people 🙃

Who would have thought that enjoying one’s life might also be the way to be more useful to others?! 🤭

River Bank School rocks!!! 🎸 🎸 🎸"

~ Fatima from Fatima’s Nook

❤️ PS - A personal note from me.

Why I, personally, do this work: I like to think of myself as a gardener, of sorts. I've spent the last two decades working full-time with folks who are out there making our community and world - or most importantly their inner world - a kinder place. And watching these people over years, I've had a ring-side seat to see the beautiful ripple effects the changes they make (big or small) has on others around them.

It's led me to believe that the solutions to our world’s problems, the many many many forms of beauty, music, art, peace, laughter and enjoyment, and breakthroughs in compassionate and kind-to-our-planet living that we have not heard of yet, but which will make life for all of us so much better...

Already exist

As seeds deep in the hearts of people out there right now - on sidewalks, crossing kitchens, on the subway, walking a path, or reading my words now. Someone is dreaming of changing their life, another of teaching kids how to connect with nature, another of writing their memoir, another to start growing their own vegetables with their family.

They feel this seed as a tugging in their heart. They feel its ‘call’. It may not be selfish to pay attention to it. It may be the most unselfish thing we could ever do.

So that the kids growing up amongst us can know at least one person who has chosen to live life differently. That may be the only thing they will need to unlock the seeds in their heart down the road. Knowing you.

I would die a satisfied man if I could be a gardener in this world of such seeds.

~ Alex
