PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Each month opens a new chamber of inner architecture, beginning at the root and rising toward heart, communication, vision, and eventually legacy. This year long arc restores the body’s capacity to hold more life force while aligning inner clarity with outer life.

  • 52 Weeks to Self-Mastery
    A year long, progressive journey designed to build stability, clarity, and embodied authority over time.

    • One live, guided module each week
    • A sequential, gate-by-gate unfolding of your inner architecture
    • Lifetime replay access to every session
    • An evolving recorded practice library for daily integration

  • (One minute read)


    This journey is guided by Fae La Rose, a teacher with an uncommon range of training and a genuine reverence for the beautifully complex experience of being human.

    Her background in comedy improv and theatre naturally weaves lightness, rhythm, and authentic joy into the practices.

    
You will laugh, you will move, and somewhere along the way you may realize that you are inhabiting your body and your life with a new sense of alignment.

    That sense of ease is matched by depth. Fae’s decades of study and devotion alongside Yogic & Martial Arts Masters, as well as masters of Comedy, inform a distinctive approach that is rooted, precise, and fun.

    While many of her peers chose meaningful paths of family-building, career development, and public presence in their 20s and 30s, Fae felt called toward a different orientation of devotion.

    She spent those years meditating in caves, traveling the world, and immersing herself in direct transmissions from masters of the heart, body, and philosophy.

    
In the early 2000s, she became one of the original explorers of what would later be called biohacking, testing the edges of human potential and deep organ detox… long before it was trendy or packaged.

    In a time when many modern teachers are oriented toward visibility and growth metrics, Fae has remained devoted to the quieter, ongoing work of inner development.

    She cares deeply about the evolution of each student, while continuing her own daily practice of learning, refinement, and self-inquiry. In her world, the roles of teacher and student are fluid…each encounter becomes an opportunity for mutual insight and growth.

    The practices she teaches register deeply in the body. The nervous system learns to settle into ease. The mind learns how to collaborate rather than take over.

    Functional strength begins to grow, and perception sharpens in practical, lived ways.

    With time…
things begin to align.
Energy stabilizes.
Decisions become simpler.

    
Life begins arranging itself with a rhythm that feels intelligent… and kind.

    Working with Fae feels like being guided by someone who knows the inner landscape because she has actually been there.


    She teaches from lived knowledge that has matured into wisdom, not just ideas gathered from books (though she is, admittedly, quite the bookworm).

    She enjoys the journey and remains fully present with what arises along the way, creating a sense of trust, steadiness, and quiet confidence as you move forward together.

    She genuinely looks forward to meeting you and supporting the next phase of your path.

  • This course guides you into a deeper experience of:


    • Embodiment and grounded presence

    • Nervous system steadiness
• Sustainable vitality
    
• Emotional clarity and resilience
    
• Reclaimed personal power and self-trust

    • Compassion rooted in the heart

    • The capacity to express truth clearly and uphold healthy boundaries

    • Deepened intuition and inner listening
    
• Spiritual intelligence that is lived (not abstract)

    • Integrity that aligns action with truth
    
• Strength that is enduring

    Through consistent daily practice, you begin to reclaim the truth of your embodied presence. Inner confidence stabilizes.

    Sensual integrity and creative power awaken. Compassion deepens in a way that honors your energy, your limits, and your lived truth.

    The habitual program of self-abandonment begins to lose its grip as a more coherent, self-honoring way of being takes root.

    Beneath thought, a deeper intelligence becomes accessible…one that guides movement, decision-making, and expression with clarity and trust.

  • The Golden Pilgrimage is a year-long, progressive training designed to unfold layer by layer. Each month builds upon the last, guiding you through the architecture of the subtle body in a way that is structured, experiential, and deeply integrated.

    This work is taught through a living synthesis of:

    • The Full Eight Limbs of Yoga:

    Ethical foundations, physical practice, breath, sensory refinement, concentration, meditation, and integration into daily life



    • Gentle Martial Arts:

    Cultivating grounded strength, coordination, discipline, and calm responsiveness

    

• Taoist Internal Practices: 

    Organ awareness, life-force cultivation, boundary integrity, and energetic circulation

    
• Gene Keys contemplation:

    Shadow, gift, and virtue work applied directly to lived experience



    • Subtle Body Arts:

    Chakra systems, energetic mapping, perception refinement, and intuitive intelligence



    • Ayurvedic wisdom:

    Rhythms, constitution, digestion, and sustainable vitality

    

• Longevity and nervous-system-informed biohacking:

    Supporting resilience, detox pathways, and long-term health

    ——————————

    The year is organized as a gradual ascent through the subtle body. Each month focuses on a specific layer, beginning with grounding, safety, and nervous system regulation, and continuing toward clarity, expression, intuition, and integrated awareness.

    Practices are revisited and refined throughout the year, allowing insights from earlier months to mature and deepen.

    Weekly sessions introduce new material while reinforcing what has already been learned. Movement, breathwork, meditation, inquiry, and practical life application are woven together so the work lives in your body, your relationships, and your decision-making, as well as within formal practice spaces.

    By the end of the year, students are familiar with multiple modalities and have developed a coherent, embodied practice that supports steadiness, vitality, discernment, and an ongoing relationship with the intelligence of the subtle body.

    8 LIMBS OF YOGA:

    Fae comes from one of the strongest classical yoga lineages in the world: the Bihar School of Yoga.

    Founded in 1964 by Swami Satyananda Saraswati in the state of Bihar, India, the Bihar School of Yoga is one of the most influential modern yoga institutions.

    It is widely known for its teachings in yoga nidra, kriya yoga, and its integrated approach to Tantra, Vedanta, and classical yoga traditions.

    Fae’s teacher, Rama Vernon, studied directly with the masters of this lineage in India. In the 1970s, she brought over one hundred of these teachers to her home in San Francisco, playing a formative role in introducing classical yogic teachings to the United States and created the very first “Yoga Journal”

    Rama Vernon, together with her daughter Mira Murphy and her longtime student Ruth Hartung, later founded Seven Centers in Sedona, Arizona. It was at Seven Centers that Fae studied and fell deeply in love with the practices of consciousness cultivation.

    Unfortunately, as many of us now know….Yoga’s history includes complex human stories, and some originators and teachers have received difficult and painful public scrutiny for claims of misconduct and abuse.

    However, the teachings themselves have consistently demonstrated their capacity to build awareness, coherence, and consciousness through lived practice.

    These practices also place a responsibility on those who carry them. Each student and teacher is asked to live the teachings with integrity, discernment, and a commitment to virtue.

    In this way, the lineage stays alive through how it is embodied and expressed in daily life. It is up to each teacher to continue to practice, uphold the truth of their being and build their integrity daily (as was intended for these practices).

    Fae also studied Sanskrit and Tai Chi in Manhattan as well as Yogic Philosophy with Will Duncan in Sedona Arizona. 

Will Duncan has taught throughout the world including Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, South America and throughout the United States.  

He is a lecturer, meditation teacher, consultant, retreat leader, hospice chaplain and lavender farmer.

    Will teaches from a secular stance and is interested in integrating the Eastern and Western wisdom traditions with the insights of Western psychology.

    He has extensive training in the Gelugpa, Zen, and Theravadin traditions of Buddhism as well as Vedanta, Yoga and the work of the Christian mystic St. Teresa of Avila.

    He incorporates this with his training in Jungian and Eco psychology as well as the profound work of Jacques Lacan and Sidney Blatt.

    At the age of 14 will began a 23-year apprenticeship with his root teacher Murray Rogers, the founder of Jyotiniketan Ashram.

    In 2010 Will completed 7 years of training in the open and higher teachings of the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Upon completion he entered a traditional 3-year meditation retreat.

    Known for his down-to-earth humor and ease, Will teaches by way of inquiry and lively discussion pushing students to think clearly for themselves and to uncover their own insights.

    TAOIST TRADITIONS:

    Mantak Chia’s teachings come from China, rooted in ancient Taoist lineages. His core transmissions come from Taoist internal alchemy traditions, including practices associated with the Healing Tao system. 

These teachings were traditionally passed down through Chinese Taoist masters and include Nei Gong, Qi Gong, sexual alchemy, organ cultivation, and immortality practices. 

Mantak Chia later synthesized and systematized these teachings and established the Universal Healing Tao, now taught worldwide. He is originally from Thailand, but the lineage itself is Chinese Taoism. 

Fae Studied with Mantak Chia and his prize student Gillian Reid at the Tao Gardens near Chiang Mai, Thailand. Yoga taught Fae how to deepen inward and The Universal Healing Tao taught Fae how to strengthen her life force, uphold boundaries of her energy field, and cultivate longevity stamina.

    GENTLE MARTIAL ARTS:

    Fa Kuen | 花拳 | Flower Fist by the brothers Jow Biu & Jow Lung of China

    The Jow Ga form known as Flower Fist, or “Flower Form,” was not part of the original system created by Jow Lung…but was lovingly added by his younger brother, Jow Biu, after Jow Lung’s passing.

    Flower Form is attributed to Jow Biu, one of the legendary “Five Tigers” of the Jow family, who carried the torch of the system across Hong Kong after 1919. 

    Folklore says Jow Biu first improvised Flower Form during a banquet party. It was an embodied tribute blending multiple hand forms into a stunning, expressive sequence.

    While the exact birth date isn’t recorded, the form likely bloomed in the 1920s, as Jow Biu expanded Jow Ga’s reach across Canton and Hong Kong. 

    It stands as an innovative expression of the system’s evolution….“honoring tradition while daring to move forward.”

    The intention of the form was to embody grace and power together. The “flower” is not decorative…it’s deceptively powerful. In Chinese martial culture, the flower represents fluidity, rhythm, and hidden strength. Flower Form was created to demonstrate that beauty and lethality are not opposites…they are dance partners.

    This form was Jow Biu’s way of keeping the lineage alive..not just by preserving it, but by expanding it. It was both a tribute and transmission.

    In the opera houses and martial circles of 1920s–30s China, “movement was message.” Flower Form was Jow Biu’s message: “martial arts can be both art and medicine, performance and prayer.”

    Because of the magical Jow Ga Kung Fu teacher, Duke Amayo ( who can fly!) passing this form to Fae La Rose in Brooklyn NYC…The Flower Form lives on through each person that feels called to learn from her. 

    Drawing from decades of study and devotion, Fae La Rose has woven this form into a living tapestry…interlacing the traditional martial sequence with the Taoist alchemy of Mantak Chia, the yogic wisdom of the Bihar School of Yoga, and the profound virtue teachings of the I-Ching.

    What has emerged is a sacred fusion from the East: a practice that Fae calls, The Diamond Practice that is as much about healing the emotional body and nervous system regulation as it is about strength.

    More about the Flower Form of Jow Ga Kung Fu:


    Jow Ga combines the rooted strength of Hung Gar, the dynamic footwork of Choy Gar, and the long-range kicks of Northern Shaolin. Fa Kuen brings all of this into one seamless form…like calligraphy written with the whole body.

    Hung Gar (洪家) 

    The Rooted Power of the Tiger and Crane

    Hung Gar is a Southern Chinese martial art known for its low stances, strong, grounded strikes, and iron body conditioning. It emphasizes the power of the legs and waist, deep breathing, and precision.

    It’s famous for animal styles like Tiger (fierce, direct strength) and Crane (graceful, controlled defense), and is often associated with Shaolin traditions. Hung Gar teaches how to generate explosive force from a rooted, unshakable base.

    Key qualities:

    * Deep horse stances

    * Powerful hand techniques

    * Close-range fighting

    * Internal breathwork and conditioning

    * Discipline, patience, and moral virtue

    Choy Gar (蔡家) 

    The Speed and Angles of the Serpent.

    Choy Gar is another Southern system that complements Hung Gar with its fast footwork, elusive angles, and rapid strikes. It focuses more on agility, speed, and economy of motion, making it ideal for evasion and counters.

    This style uses diagonal steps, side attacks, and continuous combinations to overwhelm opponents before they can respond. It’s strategic and serpentine, known for attacking the blind spots.

    Key qualities:

    * Quick, angular footwork

    * Emphasis on mobility and agility

    * Fast hand combinations

    * Strategic counters and evasion

    * Adaptability in close- to mid-range combat

    Together in Jow Ga:

  • Fae La Rose is an integration practitioner, consciousness artist, and teacher of embodied wisdom whose work bridges nervous system regulation, spiritual practice, and lived human vitality.


    For over two decades, Fae has devoted her life to practice, inquiry, and embodiment…studying yoga, Taoist internal arts, gentle martial disciplines, meditation, detoxification, sound healing, and contemplative psychology through direct transmission and daily discipline. Her path unfolded in temples, dojos, kitchens, healing centers, caves, and long seasons of solitude, where lived experience became the ground of her teaching.

    Rooted in one of the world’s strongest classical yoga lineages (the Bihar School of Yoga), and informed by Taoist alchemy, Gene Keys, martial arts, and modern longevity science, Fae’s work is precise, soulful, and deeply somatic. She teaches practices that register in the body, steady the nervous system, clarify perception, and support ethical, grounded spiritual maturation.

    Known for weaving levity with depth, Fae brings humor, creativity, and warmth into serious inner work. She believes laughter is sacred, embodiment is non-negotiable, and virtue is the true measure of a spiritual practice.

    The Golden Pilgrimage reflects the path she has lived: a year-long initiation into steadiness, integrity, resilience, and conscious evolution…guided by someone who knows the inner landscape because she has actually walked it.
