ARCHIVE ON DEMAND
Make Conscious CURRICULUM
The Make Conscious curriculum archive is available on demand and includes access to a weekly discussion group facilitated by Jessica Kung.
-
The Make Conscious Curriculum arrived during the Pandemic Years of zoom-based isolation 2020-2022. They are a unique frame whereby the long retreat practice of Jessica Kung and Stephane Dreyfus met the world in the silver-living of a conscious container. They are a living archive of downloads and conversations that co-created the phenomenal process and practice that has become Make Conscious. Thank you for your interest in the work and feel free to reach out if you are curious about where to begin.
-
You may be wondering where to begin. Start by listening to the free intro talks, that in of itself will be a deep dive of over 10 hrs of content to ruminate over. Then you can see which course feels like a fit to your current interests and queries. Whichever one you start with you will have access to a live zoom discussion group to help support and activate the remote learning experience.
-
The curriculum comes primarily through the voice of Jessica Kung, the founder of Make Conscious. She is an artist, meditator, healer, yogini, and scholar. She completed a 450 day silent meditation retreat with her partner, Stéphane Dreyfus, in the Buddhist Tradition. You can learn more about her artwork here:

How do you experience your mind? How do you connect to genius? As Artificial Intelligence brings our mental processes into deep collaboration with technology where are the boundaries between mind and machine? Join artist, meditator, and insatiably curious seeker Jessica Kung Dreyfus for a deep dive into the past, present, and future of consciousness. We will focus particularly on the intersections of technology and intelligence. We will examine the creation of culture as the evolution of the relationship between humans and what they make.

How do you experience your body? How do you connect to energy? Beyond the scope of any yoga teacher training, life drawing course, anatomy class, or meditation course, Your Phenomenal Body is a six month journey that dives deep into the theory, practice, and awakening of the subtle body. Clear, Transform, and Activate your embodied temple.
Using a myriad of contemplative and creative tools, the 6-month long journey will bring together diverse cultures, traditions, and disciplines. We will access the meditative lineages of the Buddhist tradition and Yogic tradition, the qi gong of the Taoist tradition, and the philosophical traditions of the West from Plato to Phenomenology. We will dive into scholarly texts, and existential questions in an accessible and delightful play of inquiry and critique. We will draw from life, in the landscape and in the studio. We will explore art and architecture history, theory, and criticism as a palimpsest of the human body. We will move, we will dance, we will engage all the senses and enter the temple of the body.

Phenomenal Womb
Length

Original Course Date

Build your inner goddess temple. The 9 month journey brings together the processes of land healing with the process of clearing, transforming, and activating the womb space. We begin by clearing ancestral trauma, unresolved relationships, and contracts. As the space clears, discover the seed geometry and form of your womb. The medicine of sound and sacred community transforms the space into a temple to the Goddess within. By the end of the journey we will activate and anchor 30 Goddess temples in the embodied form of 30 women.
The audio available for playback will not be from the monthly circles but a selection of the daily meditations that guide key moments of the process.
