Here is the final announcement for next Spring's advanced training at Wisdom House in Connecticut:
Dear Fellow Explorers of the Human Mysteries,
This is Steven. Dr Steven Weiss. Malou and I are planning an AOC graduate-level gathering for May 6–10, 2026 at Wisdom House in Litchfield, CT—a place many of you know and love... and one of our favorite venues.
Before we can finalize the contract, I’d like to hear from you and sense who feels called to attend.
Who this is for:
• Diplomates of the AOC School
• Graduates of any of the 40-hour intensives (Omega or Ashland)
• Sadly, I cannot accept students who haven’t completed either of the above programs
Why gather?
Many of you have been integrating the work on your own- continuing to listen, to practice, to find your way through the Algorithm’s many layers.
As your perception deepens, it can sometimes feel challenging to stay oriented without the shared field and guidance of myself and the group.
You’ve learned to feel when something’s happening- that pull, that quiet shift- and sometimes you even know exactly where to go.
But it’s not always consistent. Some bodies speak clearly; others don’t give it up so easily. Everyone perceives a bit differently.
It just takes time, putting on the miles, and staying with it until the picture comes into focus.
This gathering is meant to help steady your process: to help you clarify your perceptions, strengthen your sense of the map, and deepen the dialogue between your hands, heart, and the body’s memory of perfection.
And then, many of you have trained with me extensively and completed by longer 10-Class training program... and have been doing this work for years. For you I offer that it is always a blessing to gather together in ceremony and share in our love for the work. To sit in the energy of the Circle and allow our Guidance to connect with AOC’s Guidance... and to share in the Work and Healing with your brothers and sisters on this Path.
What this training will offer:
1. Advanced explorations, as well as advanced graduate topics related to clinical problem-solving perspectives addressed in neither the core 10 class AOC curriculum, nor in the Level 1 Visionary Healing trainings.
We’ll work with a few topics and ceremonies I had intended to include in the Visionary Healing Level 2 class: new perspectives and ceremonies around the all-important CVJ, selected Counterstrain applications, and advanced brain healing to name a few.
We’ll continue the dialogue where Sacred Geometry, Embryology, Structure, and the Energy Field meet. Revisiting The Cauldrons, Etheric Healing Ceremony, and other Vertical Axis elements.
2. Direct feedback and mentoring
I will treat you... and then I’ll have you treat me, so I can feel where you are in your healer’s journey and offer hands-on guidance. This kind of direct transmission- teacher and student in the same field; this hand-to-hand training at the heart of our lineage.
3. Unstructured time for what’s hardest
Open discussion for your real questions—the cases, sensations, and confusions that keep you searching.
4. Treatments within the group field
5. Restoration and renewal
Daily Qigong, shared meals, and the nourishment of working inside a strong group field.
