Welcome to Quiet Knowing
There is a kind of knowing that arrives not through effort, but through receptivity. It is the answer that surfaces during a walk, the clarity that comes after a good night of sleep, the sense of direction that appears when you stop trying to figure everything out. Quiet Knowing is a course about cultivating the conditions for this kind of intelligence — the stillness, the openness, and the trust that allow your deepest knowing to emerge.
There is a kind of knowing that arrives not through effort, but through receptivity. The techniques here are designed for insight and intuition — not just relaxation.
What You Will Learn
Across four modules, you will begin by exploring why stillness is so valuable in an age of constant stimulation — and what neuroscience tells us about the brain states that produce insight. Then you will develop a personal contemplative practice, learning specific meditation techniques designed not for relaxation but for accessing intuitive intelligence (including how this differs from stress-reduction or relaxation apps). You will learn to integrate quiet knowing into your daily life, developing the capacity to hear and trust the subtle signals that arise when you create space for them. Finally, you will expand the practice outward — examining the shadow side of contemplative work, discovering the power of practicing in community, and grounding your experience in the best available research evidence.
No meditation experience is required. Just a willingness to slow down, pay attention, and discover what you already know.
Who This Course Is For
Quiet Knowing is for the overthinkers, the people who have been told to trust their gut but do not know how to hear it over the noise. It is for anyone who senses that their best ideas come from somewhere other than effortful analysis — and wants to tap into that source more reliably. No meditation experience is required. Just a willingness to slow down, pay attention, and discover what you already know.

The Art of Not-Knowing: Why Certainty Kills Intuition

From practitioners who've taken this course
In a world that celebrates loud confidence, this course gave me permission to trust the quiet voice. The distinction between directed and receptive attention alone was worth the entire investment. It has made all the difference in how I approach both my writing and my life decisions.

The meditation practices here are unlike anything I have tried. They are designed for insight, not just relaxation. After three weeks, I started noticing intuitive signals during my workday that I had been completely ignoring for years. My design work has a depth to it now that was missing before.

As a working parent with two young kids, I was skeptical that I could fit this into my life. But the micro-pauses changed everything. I do not need an hour of silence. I need thirty seconds of real presence, and this course taught me how to find those seconds throughout my day. My decision-making at work and at home has genuinely improved.

Common questions
No. The practices in this course range from two minutes to twenty. Consistency matters far more than duration, and we will help you find what works for your actual life. The core daily practice takes less than twenty minutes total, and even the shortest exercises — like the thirty-second micro-pauses — produce meaningful results when practiced consistently.
Absolutely. This course is grounded in neuroscience and psychology, not any spiritual tradition. The practices are secular, practical, and evidence-based. We reference research from cognitive science, environmental psychology, and decision-making studies throughout. You do not need to believe in anything beyond the well-documented capacity of your own brain to process information beneath conscious awareness.
That is completely normal and does not disqualify you from this work. A racing mind is not a sign that you are bad at stillness — it is a sign that your nervous system has been trained for constant stimulation, which is true for most people. The course addresses this directly, starting with very short periods of silence and building gradually. Many students find that walking practices work better for them initially than seated meditation, and the course offers both.
Most meditation apps are designed primarily for stress reduction and relaxation. This course uses contemplative practices for a different purpose: developing intuitive intelligence. The techniques here — Open Awareness meditation, sitting with a question, wondering walks — are specifically designed to activate the brain networks associated with insight and pattern recognition, not just calm the nervous system. Think of it as the difference between stretching for flexibility and training for a specific athletic skill.
