“Lucid Living started from a synergy of two potent desires. As a coach, I was interested in supporting people to take charge of their conscious awakening. As a trainer of life coaches, I wanted my students to not only build their skills, but to have the depth, complexity and sophistication that lifts coaching to an art. It seemed to me like a perfect marriage, to combine a Co-Active approach to coaching with an in-depth study of potent metaphysical truths.
“An equally compelling motivation was my desire to immerse myself in the spiritual and metaphysical conversation as a structure to further my own learning process and deepen my communion with the Divine.
“Lucid Living has become, for me, an exquisite playground of discovery and service. Jeanine and I have boundless fun creating sacred experiences that enrich the lives of our students. We are grateful every day for the joy of Lucid Living.”

“ ‘I want to live in the world you see.’
“This is what I said to Leza at a training retreat for leaders of THE COACHES Training Institute. She was perceiving something I could not, but I could sense the realness and depth of it. It seemed she had keys that made life more loving and fun and deeply fulfilling. I wanted it for myself, and for my coaching clients.
“I asked Leza to create a class to teach me and a few others, which became the pilot of the first teleclass. Two years later, we decided to become partners and to craft a curriculum that would change lives. It is true that the best way to deeply learn something is to teach it. These ten years have accelerated my spiritual journey beyond what I could have imagined, and I’ve watched Lucid Living become a force of transformation in the life of countless others.”

The Lucid Living material is based in visionary metaphysical concepts learned from Lazaris, co-active coaching approaches developed by CTI, and the personal experiences of the co-directors.
The Lazaris material is a vast library of concepts, techniques, meditations and discussions comprising an ever- evolving exploration of human spirituality. The study of this material is an endlessly fascinating adventure. We are deeply grateful to Lazaris for sharing their love and wisdom and being a friend on our sacred journey.
