Science, design and decades of training in perception
Marti Spiegelman trains leaders and professionals in the skills of perception, awareness and collective action that every culture once taught its people, and modern work rarely does.
MARTI’S STORY
From the design studio to the training room
Marti holds a BA in biochemistry from Harvard University and an MFA in graphic design from the Yale School of Art and Architecture. For twenty years she ran her own graphic design firm.
Alongside that career she trained for decades in the indigenous technologies of consciousness, with initiations in South America, Africa and Asia, and further study in neurophysiology, psychology and anthropology.
Her work brings those technologies to modern leaders, organisations, innovators and skilled professionals: not to replicate ancient ways, but to meet the real challenges of their work here and now.
She founded Awakening Value, a consultancy for organisations and leadership teams, and the Shaman’s Light training programme, and co-hosts the Leading from Being podcast with Todd Hoskins.

PRINCIPLES
How Marti teaches
Practice over theory
Experiential exercises and expert feedback, not lecture alone.
A state, not an idea
You cannot think your way to consciousness. It is trained.
Collective over individual
The aim is precision in collective action, not private insight.
PHILOSOPHY
Consciousness is a skill, and it can be trained
“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Einstein’s line is the premise of Marti’s work.
Full consciousness, in her words, is not an idea, an instruction, or a strategy. It is a state of being entered through the mastery of awareness, and that mastery can be taught, practised and applied.
Questions & answers
Frequently
Asked Questions
Who is this work for?
Leaders, founders, advisers and skilled professionals who want sharper perception and steadier judgment in work that has no playbook yet. No prior training in consciousness is needed.
Where should I start?
Most people begin with the Foundations of Precision Consciousness audio course. It is self-paced and gives you the core ideas and the first practices. From there, a one-to-one conversation with Marti is how anyone joins her in-depth training.
How is the in-depth training delivered?
Online, in small groups that train together over several months, with one-to-one mentoring alongside. Schedules are set for each group; write to Marti to ask about the next one.
Is this a spiritual programme?
It is a training in perception and awareness. The methods come from indigenous technologies of consciousness, applied, in Marti’s words, not to replicate ancient ways but to meet the real challenges of modern life and work.
Can Marti work with our organisation?
Yes. Custom short-term training for breakthrough projects, and interview-style talks for organisations, are both available. Use the contact form to describe what you have in mind.
