The First Hearth

What This Is About

Most people don't know what they are feeding. Their attention, their time, their lived experience — all of it constantly drains into other people's interfaces, interfaces they never consciously chose. Social networks, corporate cultures, inherited family scripts, spiritual traditions, political identities — these are all working memeplexes, and each of them takes its share of the host's being-mass.

This is not a pathology. This is the default mode. The book «Sacred Fire» describes the mechanics of these interfaces at the level of theory. The Hearth is the place where that theory becomes a living gesture. Where you learn to see which specific memeplexes are standing right now between you and your direct experience — and to consciously decide what to do about it.

This Is Not a Course

A course is a retelling of a book in video format with a progress bar and a certificate of completion. None of that here.

This is a closed working group for 6 weeks. Maximum 12 people. No recorded lectures. Only live sessions in Zoom — because the memeplex is born from real synchronization in shared time, not from convenient after-the-fact viewing.

The book must be read before we begin. This is not a lead magnet, this is the threshold of entry. Whoever has not gone through 31 chapters is not ready to work with the scalpel.

What's Inside (working structure)

• Diagnostics of capture — where the being-mass leaks out
• Removing the Elders — uninstalling internal evaluators
• Defense against false transcendence — anesthesia vs. peace
• Emperor and Prisoner — reclaiming the right to «now»
• Mono no aware — creativity without self-destruction
• Living gesture — actions the Algorithm cannot eat

Each week — two touches: a conceptual session plus an integration circle. Between them — practice in your own life and written reflection inside the closed group.

Anti-promise

This is not a place for those looking for successful success or Zen calm. We don't hand out ready-made answers and we don't affirm the path someone else has chosen for you.

Here you work with your own concrete blindness toward your own memeplexes — and that requires the willingness to see yourself without anesthesia. If that frightens you or irritates you — better not to apply.
