Living the Spiral

Take a journey with us through the human story.

Humans have been navigating leaps in consciousness for centuries.

Using the framework of Spiral Dynamics, we seek to make sense of patterns and complexities that we all experience but often don’t have language for.

We are at another key point in history where humans are being asked to make a leap. This leap is into more complex problem solving and holding more truths as simultaneously valuable.

Before we can successfully use this skill out in the world, we must first practice within ourselves.

This course takes you through the path of re-integration and growth, providing the opportunity to gain awareness, self-compassion and a deeper understanding of yourself and others.

Here’s what you can expect:

A spiritual and practical approach to Spiral Dynamics that focuses on how these stages show up in life

Learning the gifts and wisdom each stage of development brings and how to apply them

Paths to internal healing and move into greater health

Understanding politics, community and spirituality in a more integrative and connected way

A stronger ability to meet people where they’re at

Tools and methods to gain clarity on your next steps of growth

An optimistic and hopeful view of the future and what you can do to be a part of creating it

The power of the Spiral is in putting language to patterns and truths that we are feeling but haven’t yet named.

What people are saying.

“One year on from completing the Living the Spiral course, I am still reaping the benefits, the sense of being connected has been like a breath of fresh air.

The recent tumultuous world events could be unsettling and frightening, but the Spiral teaching is like a constant bass note bringing a sense of belonging and grounding, and with that hope. I hear the echoes of that bass note everywhere, in conversation, the arts, poetry, film, documentaries, it is like being able to speak a new language!

It has also been so helpful during some difficult personal situations, I have noticed that my approach to dealing with issues is very different, the sense of freedom has been transformative.

Living the Spiral helps participants learn how to direct more love and kindness inwardly and outwardly, giving us directions to follow the path of integration for years to come. I would highly recommend completing the course.” - Claire S.


“It’s been over a year since I first took Tina and Trace’s Living The Spiral Course, and I am still implementing the takeaways in my day-to-day life. If I’m ever feeling irritated or stressed, I ask myself, “Have I eaten enough food today?” or “Do I need to drink more water?”

Those questions might sound like no-brainers, but before Living The Spiral, I did not realize how often I suffer emotionally unnecessarily, when the solve is super simple: consistently caring for my body physically (Beige). More so, diving into the other color’s meanings—Blue, Orange, Green, and so on—has helped me process and cope with the state of the world.

Things can get pretty chaotic and dim… and I now find hope in understanding why humans are the way they are, and how we can forge a path toward collective lightness and love by evolving.” - Sarah H.


“The first time I heard about Spiral Dynamics I felt both energized and overwhelmed. Energized because I sensed it had the potential of a whole new level of consciousness that I knew I was ready for. Overwhelmed because I wanted to learn all that I could and my life wasn’t offering the time I needed to dive deep. Since hearing about the Spiral, I have slowly waded into the waters of exploration, and have found the framework of each stage already so helpful in navigating relationships, decisions, and my own mental health.

I’m now investigating how these stages impact my parenting, i.e. how I am training my children, and how it influences our family culture. I am definitely interested in connecting with other parents about this if you know of anyone having these conversations!” - Kasii O.


"Trace and Tina make a wonderfully balanced team who do more than offer insight and wisdom. They personally value and engage each participant in healthy ways to inhabit each integrated stage of consciousness we all carry with us. Living the Spiral is well named. I came away with "new eyes" and robust tools to navigate through and live in these dizzying, hyper-accelerated evolutionary times. Such a great experience!" - Brad M.
