The Integration Pathway
For practitioners arriving with the practice already developed. Entry into the ARC's shared language and field, at your own pace.
The Integration Pathway is for those with prior training in attuned dyadic presence through other lineages, and who want to bring that practice into the ARC.
The shape of it
The pathway has three elements, and then a door.
Texts. Participants receive a versioned packet of readings: starting points from the network's shared text, a note written for practitioners of adjacent lineages, and the Member Agreement — read early, so that the choice at the end is informed.
Conversation. Each participant is connected directly over WhatsApp for an ongoing exchange of text and voicenotes — to clarify what the ARC Network is, ask questions as they arise, and feel the culture before membership. The ARC's field is a field of presence and speech.
Meetings. Gatherings are called when there is enough aliveness in the field to warrant one. One-on-one or group conversations follow once the material has genuinely been encountered. Nothing runs on a fixed schedule.
The door. When a person feels ready — on their own timing — they request an entry conversation. The conversation holds the actual discernment, and it runs both ways: whether the ARC is a good fit for them, and whether they are a good fit for the ARC. Its outcomes are entry, a redirection to the Foundations Pathway, or — with care — not-yet.
Who it is for
Graduates of trainings where attuned dyadic presence is centrally cultivated. The current working list includes Aletheia Unfolding, Hakomi, Internal Family Systems, and Focusing-oriented work in the Gendlin lineage, among others. The list is provisional and refines as the network meets its actual arrivals.
Cost
The Integration Pathway carries a modest monthly contribution of $50 to $100 while a person is in it. The pathway is open-ended, and the small ongoing cost keeps remaining in it slightly uncomfortable to encourage participants to make a choice whether to enter the ARC.
