Step into the Commons.
This is a threshold moment.
You clicked this page! One step closer to your own Ecotone.
The Commons is our shared space — the virtual reality in which we gather. The vibe is academic and enthusiastic. We are curious, compassionate and sincere. Authenticity reigns.
It is a mythopoetic place. Mysterious. Metaphysical. Personal. Political. And: super practical.
Our nature-based ways of being form an ecotone with Nobel-winning ways of knowing.
Results vary, but the impact upon individual participants can often be instant, intimate & infinite.
So — will you take the leap and join us? Are you sure!?!
The only real question right now: how enthusiastic are you to scroll just a little further?
Enter the Ecosystem.
Ecotone Academy membership is modeled on a set of concentric spheres.
There are three layers:
- The Commons is the outer layer, the entry point, the cell wall, the all-encompassing container.
- The Council is the inner layer, the sanctuary, the cytoplasm, the life of this place.
- The Catalyst is the core, the fiery heart, the nucleus, the singular center of gravity.
You are welcome here.
I wonder: where will you find yourself?
Three Spheres, Three Tiers
There are many paths to wander within the Ecotone ecosystem.
Here are the trailheads from which you can choose:
The Investment
The Commons operates as a Private Membership Association. This structure allows Ecotone Academy to function as a safe, sacred space reserved for sincere, conscientious seekers.
When you enter the Commons, you are not buying a product. Instead, you are contributing membership dues to support a private sanctuary.
For more, check out How It Works.
For now, here is a chart showing how the Council stacks up against a la carte options:

Step into the Commons. Claim your seat on the Council. Catalyze your evolution.
But for now, just join the waiting list.
The next cohort opens October 2026.
The Crafts
The Ecotone curriculum consists of four core Crafts.
The Crafts overlap. They are mutually referential, each interwoven into the others. They create a coherent system for accurate comprehension of your true nature as it relates to Nature as a whole.
Practiced in an integrative way, the Crafts form a vast & magnificent landscape, rich with soul-level significance. They are the essential skills & provisions necessary to explore this mysterious territory and safely reach unknown shores.
The Apothecary
The Apothecary serves as our basecamp within the Ecotone ecosystem.
It houses self-healing information & enlivening activities that will serve you well at any & every stage of your adventure.
Here you'll find the math, metaphysics, medicine & mythology that define the Ecotone Academy paradigm.
Quick story.
My life has been an unending sequence of threshold crossings.
I went to 8 different schools before finishing 12th grade. My adult life spans the globe, from yoga ashrams to wilderness solitude and back to major cities.
I have twice worked as a moving guy — multiple times per day, literally lifting the accumulated weight of an old life and setting it down somewhere new.
For me, navigating transition (for myself and helping others) is a non-negotiable assignment from Soul. I have had no choice but to discover & develop the techniques needed to find stability in the mysterious in-between.
To find comfort in the discomfort of not-knowing where or if you belong is a life-saving skill.
Ecotone Academy exists because, beyond all reason, there is a subtle order woven into the apparent madness of being merely human, and therein lives our saving grace.
I want you to know: you are not alone in your liminal space.
Your story is completely unique — with all its tragedy & triumph, tribulation & tenderness.
And — you are not the first one to tread this territory.
Ecotone Academy is a private sanctuary for those who:
- Have read the books, been in therapy, attended workshops and retreats...
- Know their story, track their patterns, understand their issues...
- Have done the work...
And yet:
- Are still reacting in the same old way...
- Are still exhausted from trying to figure it out...
- Are still searching for that essential shift in their center of gravity after which nothing will ever be the same.
“Your great mistake is to act the drama as if you were alone...
Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the conversation...
Everything is waiting for you.”
— David Whyte

The Edge of the Ecotone
Information is a map. Ecotone is the territory. Choose your trailhead.
1. Arrive at the Trailhead
Identify your archetype.
Complete the Trailhead self-reflection questionnaire.
It takes 2-5 minutes.
Receive instant feedback and at least one wild invitation for what to do next.
If you're ready, this is where the adventure begins.
2. Take the Threshold Test
- When you're ready to go further, the Threshold Test is a 120-question eco-psychological self-diagnostic offering a comprehensive view of your psycho-spiritual orientation.
- It takes 20-60 minutes.
- You receive a lot of in-depth insight including fancy graphs reflecting your brilliance, your blind-spots and your current stage on the journey to Soul.
3. Connect Directly
If you're ready to roll right now, add yourself to my calendar.
I already know that I want to talk to you about the feedback from your Threshold Test.
As a conversation starter, that usually leads everywhere it's meant to in our first 30-minutes together.
Advance gratitude for the $47 convenience fee.
