About the Protocol

After training and developing the protocol with Rastal, who had refined and expanded the sinking in practice into what is now known as Guided Deepening, Boris was inspired to take this transformative work to a new level.

Through years of guiding clients in one-on-one sessions, we discovered that The Deepening Protocol reaches its fullest potential when offered as part of a complete, supported journey. The result is a uniquely integrative program designed to support deconditioning, embodiment, and the optimization of well-being within a community of skilled coaches and a cohort of like-minded explorers of consciousness.

About Fundamental Okayness

Whether you’re just beginning your journey toward awakening or have already discovered a sense of inner peace and presence, The Deepening Protocol supports the full spectrum of the path, from first realization to the deepest integration.

What Is Fundamental Okayness?

Fundamental Okayness refers to the baseline experience available to all that in its various forms and depths was historically known as awakening, nonduality, unitive consciousness, the peace that passeth understanding. It is marked initially by a natural shift away from worry, fear, and disconnection toward a grounded sense of ease, clarity, and engagement. Life is seen to unfold with an effortless grace. Gratitude and equanimity arise naturally. The sense of separateness begins to dissolve.

For Those Seeking Awakening:

If you feel called to awaken into this deeper reality, our programs provide a direct, research-informed approach supported by skilled guides who have walked the path themselves. Through guided explorations in awareness, embodied practice, and inquiry, participants begin to experience the natural transformation that reveals the innate wholeness and freedom already present beneath their surface experience.

For Those Ready to Deepen:

For those already living in spacious awareness or nondual realization, the journey does not end. It continues to deepen and reveal suprising new frontiers. Some wish to stabilize this new way of being amid the dynamic experiences of work, family, and creative expression. Others feel a pull towards subtler and more expansive dimensions.

The Deepening Protocol is designed for this next step. Through Guided Deepening, direct inquiry, and intuitive guidance, participants are invited into intimate engagement with what-is, then led beyond it. Each immersion opens the way for new layers of realization and integration to unfold naturally.

Awakening is a foundational transformation in how life is experienced, with a constantly evolving clarity of the indivisible nature of reality.

Deepening is the journey into every aspect of being and beyond.

About Boris

Originally trained as an engineer, Boris began his coaching work 12 years ago as a canine behaviorist using the Immediate Moment Theory of animal behavior. This naturally led to guiding the wiliest animal of them all, humans. Steeped in human potential work, he trained in the transformative power of belief-busting and cognitive reframing. His lifelong drive for what-else led him to the missing link that immersions in Shaivite, Buddhist, Dzogchen, and contemporary meditation revealed.

He served as a coach, mentor, and guide for 8 years before co-developing The Deepening Protocol. As head trainer and head coach of TDP, he leads group and 1-on-1 transformation through a synthesis of cognitive, somatic, and awareness techniques for lasting equanimity.
