Open World is a comprehensive training system, preparing you for a rapidly evolving world. Our aim is to connect you with Life by opening up flows of communication.

Immersions

For information about our upcoming immersions on the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Tauranga, visit the events page.

Our training is divided into 2 key areas. The core practice of the ‘Cycle of Aliveness’, focuses on connecting to our innocence and wilderness and expressing authentically. The creative practices revolve around improvised and intuitive creativity, which can take on various forms, (song, dance, theatre, film…), while always aspiring to strip away the automatic and social layers to connect the audience with the moment.

We cultivate:

  • Internal emotional balance
  • Creative expression
  • Authentic connection
  • Attunement to the energy of crowds
  • Physical conditioning to meet moments of duress
  • Releasing stuck habits and automatic behaviours
  • Ability to expand with the wild possibilities of a life well lived!

The Cycle of Aliveness

Our training methods focus on experiential learning, placing ourselves in situations which prepare us for reality. We train hard so that we can live easefully.

The 5 phases of the cycle of aliveness are journeyed through a 3hr process which begins with internal awareness, then connecting to the body to integrate. We then enter the arena together to deconstruct our social habits. From a liberated state we more freely express our artistry and devotion.

Testimonials

“What I’m looking for, in whatever I do in life, is to feel like this!”

J.K.

“I felt held, seen, vulnerable, challenged and bid to rise. One foot in the doorway of profundity and one on the lap of the ridiculous, he is a worthy wayfarer who will bring you home.”

M.L.

“The amount of knowledge base that he possesses and embodies in martial arts, theatre, spirituality, and the body makes me feel like I am working with an expert whom I can trust, which is a relief in a day and age where anyone can run a workshop and call themselves experts.”

H.W.

“Through Atlas’ Open World sessions I have experienced moments of true catharsis, moments of ecstatic bliss, moments of relief, moments of true surrender… and had profound realisations about the world and the way I am showing up in it. I genuinely think that this could change the world… and I think it will.”
