The 12-Week Curriculum

Week 1

The First Sweep

Beginning the Practice

Find your path and begin the practice of walking it repeatedly. Slowing down enough to actually be present.

Week 2

Stones and Debris

Learning to See What's Really There

Developing observational awareness. You cannot clear what you cannot see.

Week 3

The Broom Is the Teacher

Receptive Attention

Choosing one teacher and listening to what it reveals. Everything can teach if you pay attention.

Week 4

Not to Finish, But to Do

Accepting Incompletion

Making peace with the fact that the work is never done. The wind will return.

Week 5

Sweep What's in Front of You

Depth Over Duration

Three minutes of presence beats thirty minutes of distraction. Quality matters more than time.

Week 6

Invisible Leaves

Noticing the Subtle

What's at the edge of your perception? Learning to see what you've been missing.

Week 7

When the Path Sweeps You

Dissolving the Doer

When effort becomes effortless. The sweeper and the swept become one.

Week 8

Clear for Others

The Quiet Work of Service

You clear the path so others can walk freely. Service can be invisible and profound.

Week 9

The Wind Will Return

Cycles and Repetition

Change is not a flaw—it IS the system. Repetition is not failure, it's faith.

Week 10

Again, Sweep the Path

The Practice of Beginning Again

Return is the practice. Every moment is now. Back where we began, yet not the same.

Week 11

Integration Week

Building a Practice That's Yours

Design your personal practice. Simple, sustainable, yours.

Week 12

A Path Without End

The Beginning That Never Stops

This is not a map, it's a broom. The practice doesn't end here.
