Standard — 3 Months · USD $1,111
VIP — 4 Months · USD $2,222
You are more self-aware than you used to be. You know your patterns exist. You can often see them happening in real time.
And still — the same triggers surface. The same emotional reactions. The same moments where you recognise, again, that something underneath is running the show.
Awareness is the beginning. It is not the work.
The work is building the capacity to meet those patterns at the root — to understand where they came from, what they are protecting, and how to move through them instead of around them.
That is what the Self-Mastery Circle is built to do.
The Program
Most spiritual spaces ask you to believe something. Academy Of Transcendence invites you to Know Thyself.
The Self-Mastery Circle is the flagship program of Academy Of Transcendence.
The work we do here sits at the intersection of emotional intelligence, spiritual practice and grounded methodology. We teach that the patterns, emotions, triggers and conditioning you carry are not obstacles to your evolution.
They are the curriculum. The raw material of genuine inner work.
This is not a program you watch passively. It is a structured, live, small-group journey — built around real practice, group integration and the kind of depth that only becomes available when you commit to doing the work consistently over time.
The curriculum has been developed and refined across six prior cohorts over four years. It is methodical, progressive and grounded. Each month builds directly on the last.
This is Inner Alchemy — the process of taking the raw material of your patterns, reactions and conditioning and transforming them into clarity, capacity and self-leadership.
New to the work
The Ego Work Intensive is a 3-week live program that covers the foundational framework of Month 1 — including Tracking Triggers, the core practice for identifying your unique healing themes. It runs for $97 and is the recommended entry point for those who want to experience the Inner Alchemy Transcendence Method before committing to the full Circle.
Graduates of the Intensive arrive at the Self-Mastery Circle having already begun the work — and with their healing themes already named.
Who This Is For
For you if:
You have been doing inner work and feel ready for a structured, progressive container
You keep encountering the same emotional patterns and want to address them at the root
You want practical frameworks — not just insight, but the capacity to apply what you learn
You are ready to commit to a consistent practice over three months
You value depth over speed, and integrity over performance
You are seeking a grounded, honest community of people doing real work
Not for you if:
You are in acute mental health crisis — please seek professional clinical support
You are looking for passive content or a watch-at-your-own-pace library
You want someone to fix you — this work requires your active, honest participation
The Approach
Self-Mastery Circle is built on the Inner Alchemy Transcendence Method — AOT's signature framework for transforming moments of emotional activation into self-knowledge, energetic coherence and embodied wisdom.
It is not therapy. It is not journalling. It is not a healing protocol. It is a practice — precise, repeatable and designed to be self-guided over time.
In alchemy, transformation begins with the crude form. In AOT, it begins with the trigger. A trigger is not a flaw — it is information. The invitation into a deeper truth that wants to emerge.
The method moves the raw material of human experience through nine structured stages — from the moment of activation to the anchoring of a new way of being. The trigger is the lead. Embodied wisdom is the gold.
Stage I
Seeing the pattern clearly — without collapsing into shame or escaping into distance.
Stage II
Stabilising the nervous system so deeper work can be done with clarity, not in the midst of flooding.
Stage III
Softening the story — examining the belief or identity the trigger is reinforcing until the grip loosens.
Stage IV
Extracting the essential theme — the deeper pattern that connects this trigger to a larger arc.
Stage V
Returning to the root — offering the inner child what was missing, not to relive it but to complete it.
Stage VI
Shifting the energetic charge — the dense emotion that was stored becomes mobile, and the lead begins to become gold.
Stage VII
Rebalancing Yin and Yang — restoring the energetic distortions shaped by conditioning, lineage and identity to their healthy, mature expressions.
STAGE VIII
Refining the experience to its purest form — drawing out the soul-level wisdom the pattern was always carrying, through deliberate reflection and reconciling the experience from a higher perspective.
Stage IX
Anchoring the new frequency — integrating the shift into identity, daily life and forward orientation. You return to your world as a more coherent version of yourself.
The Curriculum
Each month focuses on a distinct dimension of the work, building progressively across the program. Sessions are live, interactive and structured around practice — not just transmission.
MONTH 1
The foundation of all inner work is understanding the ego — not as a philosophical concept, but as the living system of protection, pattern and belief that runs most of your automatic responses.
Session 01: Opening Circle and Group Orientation
Session 02: The Ego as Your Identity and Individuality
Session 03: The Ego as Your Protection Mechanism
Session 04: The Ego as Your Inner Critic and Self-Talk
Session 05: Tracking Triggers — Identifying Your Unique Healing Themes
Outcome: By the end of Month 1, you will have a clear map of the specific patterns and themes most active in your inner world right now.
MONTH 2
Emotional mastery is not the suppression or performance of feelings. It is the capacity to meet your emotional world with presence, regulation and intelligence — and use it as information rather than being driven by it.
Session 06: Emotional Intelligence and Nervous System Regulation
Session 07: How to Set and Hold Healthy Boundaries
Session 08: What Shadow Work Is and How to Practise It
Session 09: Somatic Practices for Emotional Embodiment
Session 10: Building Your Inner Work Practice (Part 1)
Outcome: By the end of Month 2, you will have practical tools for emotional regulation, boundary-setting and working with your shadow — and a personal practice you can sustain.
MONTH 3
The patterns we carry most deeply often originate early. Inner Child work is the practice of returning to those formative experiences — not to relive them, but to integrate them, reframe them and reclaim the parts of yourself that got left behind.
Session 11: Generational Patterns and the Cycle Breaker
Session 12: Reconnecting With Your Inner Child
Session 13: Inner Child Healing Visualisation and Integration
Session 14: Reparenting — Building Your Internal Safe Base
Session 15: Integration and Closing Circle
Outcome: By the end of Month 3, you will have addressed the foundational roots of your core patterns and built a personal inner work framework to carry forward.
OPTIONAL UPGRADE
Month 4 goes further.
They are archetypal forces — the receptive and the generative, the interior and the expressive, the stillness and the movement — that exist within every person regardless of identity or background.
The patterns that shape your Yin and Yang expression were not formed in childhood alone. They were inherited — from parents, from lineage, from culture, from generations of conditioning that decided how each energy was to be expressed, suppressed or distorted long before you arrived.
This is where the work becomes ancestral. Where the healing reaches beyond personal memory into the energetic inheritance carried in your blood.
In Month 4, Kevin works with you privately to map your unique Yin and Yang composition — where each has been distorted, what has been suppressed, and what is ready to be restored. This work cannot be done in a group, because everyone's energetic inheritance is different. It requires direct, 1:1 facilitation calibrated entirely to you.
MONTH 4
Restoring Yin and Yang to their healthy, mature expressions is the foundation of how you create, lead and express your soul's work in the world. This is not just personal integration. It is the energetic ground for what comes next.
Session 16: Yin and Yang Energy — Archetypal Forces and Your Energetic Inheritance (live group session, all VIPs)
Session 17: Mapping Your Yin and Yang Composition — Where Distortion Lives and What It Protects (private 1:1)
Session 18: Restoring Healthy Yin — Receptivity, Depth and the Feminine Principle (private 1:1)
Session 19: Restoring Healthy Yang — Direction, Boundaries and the Masculine Principle (private 1:1)
Session 20: Closing Ceremony — VIP Integration and Sharing Circle (live group session, all VIPs)
Outcome: By the end of Month 4, you will understand your unique energetic composition at the ancestral and soul level — and have begun the deliberate restoration of both forces to their natural, mature expressions. The program closes with a shared ceremony: a VIP-only circle to integrate the full journey and mark the threshold you have crossed. This is the energetic foundation from which soul-led purpose emerges.
what changes
Understand your core patterns
You will learn to identify the unconscious loops shaping your reactions — and shift them from the root, not the surface.
Navigate triggers with wisdom
Instead of flooding or shutting down, you will meet your emotions with presence — using them as information rather than as problems to escape.
Release what was never yours to carry
Whether from childhood, lineage or years of repetition — you will begin dissolving what no longer serves the version of yourself you are becoming.
Feel grounded in your own guidance
As your self-regulation deepens, you will trust yourself more. Your decisions will come from alignment, not anxiety.
Build a practice that lasts
This is not a temporary transformation. It is a set of capacities, tools and self-knowledge you carry forward permanently.
Lead yourself from the inside out
You will not just know yourself better. You will be more able to guide yourself — with clarity, maturity and sovereignty.
Circle Reflections
"It's changed the way I look at everything, from my emotions to ego, to how I situate myself in this world and respond to my surroundings. And through this process I've gained a set of tools and practices I come back to regularly."
— Rekha
"I now have a more solid sense of self and hold a higher value of self-worth. After many years of struggling with boundaries, I am finally able to hold these, compassionately, where and when necessary, which is empowering."
— Emily
"If I had to describe the effect of this course in one word, it would be relief. I was able to let go of so many things that were never really me, but had somehow become part of my daily actions. Above all, it brought me a sense of lightness."
— Peter
"You recognised my trigger immediately and held impeccable space as you walked me through healing a huge wound I had around my father. Your guidance helped me finally come to terms with something that had been running my life for so long."
— Tara
"For the first time I felt empathy instead of disgust. I still feel shocked at the shift in my inner sentiment. The thought of vulnerability doesn't repulse me anymore — and I truly feel I have the state of mind to treat all versions of me with a kindness I didn't have the capacity for before."
— Eden
"It's been better than the regular counselling I've had over the last 20 years — which has been mostly talk therapy, with no real theory or understanding of why or how our thoughts and feelings happen."
— Weena
Your Guide
"He does not teach from theory.
He teaches from scar tissue."
Kevin has spent over a decade developing and facilitating the curriculum that underpins the Self-Mastery Circle. He built these frameworks through his own rigorous practice — a path he chose when conventional approaches felt inadequate for the depth of work he needed to do.
The Self-Mastery Circle curriculum has been refined across six prior program iterations. Kevin knows where students get stuck, what the common patterns are, and how to hold a group in honest, grounded exploration without it becoming performance or avoidance.
He is not a therapist. He is an educator.
Academy Of Transcendence does not treat trauma, diagnose conditions or make clinical promises. It teaches frameworks, holds structured space and creates the conditions for real inner work to take root. What you do with that work is yours.

Questions
The Self-Mastery Circle is designed for those with at least some familiarity with personal or spiritual growth work. If you are completely new, we recommend starting with the Ego Work Intensive — a 3-week live program that covers the foundational framework of Month 1 and will help you assess whether the Circle is the right next step. Intensive graduates arrive at SMC with their healing themes already named, which accelerates depth from Session 1.
Standard is the complete 3-month group program — 15 live sessions, group support and the full Inner Alchemy curriculum. VIP adds a 4th integration month with 3 private 1:1 sessions with Kevin, private chat access and a personalised Inner Work review at the end. VIP is for those who want direct, personalised support alongside the group journey — and is exactly double the Standard investment, making the contrast clear.
No. This is an educational and experiential program grounded in inner work frameworks and practice. It is not therapy, counselling or clinical support, and it does not replace professional mental health care. If you are in acute mental health crisis, please seek professional clinical support before applying.
Plan for 90–120 minutes per week: one live session plus a short daily practice between sessions (10–15 minutes). Integration is built into the structure — you are not expected to spend hours on self-study outside of that.
All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours. Recordings are yours to keep with lifetime access. We encourage live attendance where possible — the group container is part of what makes this work — but recordings allow you to stay current if life intervenes.
Dates are announced to the waitlist first. Join the waitlist or complete the Ego Work Intensive to be notified when enrolment opens. Places are limited and filled in order of application.
VIP places are limited. If spots are available at the time of your request, an upgrade is possible — contact us directly. We cannot guarantee availability after initial enrolment, so if you are considering VIP, applying directly is the most reliable path.
