Perceptual training for a conscious life beyond certainty
For seeker-leaders navigating the Great Transition with clarity, steadiness, and agency
This Moment Feels Different—for a Reason
We’re not just in a season of disruption.
We’re in a period of transition that is being felt at the level of consciousness itself.
Across systems—climate, culture, technology, work, and meaning—the structures that once provided orientation are no longer reliable. What worked before doesn’t quite work now, and what’s emerging isn’t fully formed yet.
That shift doesn’t just affect institutions.
It affects how we perceive, decide, and relate.
You might notice it as mental fatigue.
As urgency that never quite resolves.
As the sense that your awareness is being pulled in too many directions at once.
This isn’t a personal failure.
It’s a signal that the conditions of perception have changed.
When environments become more complex, consciousness itself is asked to do something new. Linear strategies—thinking faster, deciding sooner, holding more—stop working as well. Not because you’re incapable, but because those strategies belong to a simpler landscape.
What’s needed now isn’t more effort.
It’s a different quality of awareness.
This moment is inviting a shift from managing reality to meeting it more directly—from reacting out of habit to responding from a clearer, steadier state of consciousness.
That shift begins with how you orient.
With how attention is organized.
With how perception itself is trained.

How This Work Engages Consciousness
GAZE™️ (Generate Awareness in Zones of Emergence) is a perceptual training method that works directly with how consciousness is organized.
Rather than offering insight, beliefs, or answers, it trains the conditions under which clarity, steadiness, and discernment naturally emerge.
The practice uses structured eye movements—with breath used selectively—to influence attention, body, and orientation. These shifts affect how experience is processed moment to moment, allowing consciousness to become expansive and more coherent over time.
In other words, this work doesn’t try to change what you think.
It trains how awareness itself functions—especially in conditions of uncertainty, complexity, and rapid change.
As perception stabilizes, responses become less driven by urgency or habit and more guided by sensing and timing.
It’s about developing a reliable, embodied way of meeting reality—even when certainty isn’t available.
GAZE™️ expands your consciousness.
Read More About My WorkI didn’t arrive at this work through certainty.
I arrived in a major transition.This work was shaped by lived experience, including profound personal loss, which clarified the difference between insight and perception, and between comfort and coherence.
My background spans psychology, spirituality, and leadership, with formal training in psychology and consciousness studies. Over time, my work shifted away from helping people find answers and toward something more fundamental: helping them restore reliable perception when the ground beneath them is changing.
I’m the creator of the GAZE method—a perceptual training approach that works directly with attention, awareness, and nervous system organization. Rather than focusing on insight or interpretation, GAZE trains the conditions under which clarity, discernment, and steadiness emerge naturally over time.
My work is informed by neuroscience, contemplative traditions, and lived experience, but it is not theoretical. It’s designed for real-world conditions: leadership under uncertainty, personal transition, and moments where speed and certainty create more harm than clarity.
I work with individuals, groups, and organizations through retreats, the Conscious Collective, and limited one-to-one engagements. Across all formats, the emphasis remains the same: agency over dependency, perception over performance, and depth without overwhelm.
This work is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about meeting reality more clearly—and responding from that clarity.

Diane Stakoe
"GAZE™️ was exactly I needed to move forward and release the stuck energy from deep past conditioning and limiting beliefs I feel have been holding me back from stepping fully into my meta-purpose. I am forever grateful."
Shelly
"The depth and breadth of the unordinary state was far greater than anything I had experienced from years of meditation and other contemplative practices without the use of psychedelics. I would highly recommend it for anyone who seeks to live into the soul's purpose."
Kimberlee Peifer
"GAZE™️ created intense and clear internal visions and guidance. I felt things releasing in me and clarity on what next steps might look like in my life. The state of being started before GAZE™️ began and lasted long after it ended."
The GAZE™ Method
Perceptual training for conscious leadership and a clear life in a changing world.
GAZE™ is not a mindset shift or a stress-reduction technique.
It is a perceptual training method designed to help consciousness function more reliably under conditions of uncertainty, complexity, and change.Rather than offering beliefs or insights, GAZE works by shifting how attention and awareness are organized. Through structured eye movements—with breath used selectively—it creates conditions where the nervous system can settle and perception can reorganize.
As attention moves between focused awareness and open monitoring, the system begins to change in quiet but meaningful ways:
mental noise softens
reactivity decreases
the nervous system moves out of chronic fight-or-flight
subtle signals become easier to sense
This isn’t about entering a particular state.
It’s about developing a steadier capacity for orientation.The Core Capacities GAZE Trains
At the heart of the method are three foundational capacities that support conscious engagement with change:
Coherence
The ability to align attention, sensation, and intuition into a stable field of clarity.Entrainment
The ability to adjust to changing conditions without resistance or collapse.Attunement
The ability to perceive subtle internal and relational signals with precision.Together, these capacities support the qualities most needed in times of transition: agility, resilience, and agency.
What GAZE Makes Possible
Whether you’re guiding others, holding complexity, or sensing that old ways of being no longer fit, this work supports the inner demands of transition.
GAZE helps you:
perceive what’s emerging beneath the surface
move through change without overwhelm
strengthen nervous system regulation
respond from clarity even when systems are unstable
This is not personal development in the traditional sense.
It’s training consciousness to remain coherent, responsive, and grounded in a rapidly evolving world.
Begin with a 10-Minute GAZE Experience
If you’re curious about this work, the best place to start is by experiencing it.
This short, guided GAZE practice offers a direct feel for how perceptual training works—without depth, intensity, or commitment.
In about ten minutes, you’ll be guided to:
settle your attention
soften mental noise
and notice how perception shifts when awareness is gently reorganized
There’s nothing to figure out and nothing you need to believe. Just an opportunity to pause and sense more clearly.
What You’ll Receive
A 10-minute guided GAZE audio
Gentle, non-activating instructions
An introduction to perceptual training (not meditation, not breathwork)
A simple way to experience the method before deciding anything else
