Radical Self Empowerment Program - Level 2 Diploma

Level 2 goes deeper into specific territories — the brain, the immune system, birth and death, and the structures that hold our oldest tensions.

You don't need to have finished the whole Level 1 program to begin. Two classes from the Level 1 program are enough to start, though the classes are best taken in the order we propose. Where Level 1 builds the hands and the listening, Level 2 asks what else becomes possible once that foundation is in place. 

Most classes are taught by Etienne; Psoas 1 & 2 are taught by Wilko Iedema.

Classes are preferably given in pairs, with one day in between. As in Level 1, a Certificate of Completion is given after each class, and the Level 2 Diploma after all seven.

Immune 1 is part of the Level 1 program. Immune 2 can be taken on its own — Immune 1 is not a prerequisite.

Looking at and working with stem cells, mitochondria and the wisdom of the gut, we enter the field of spiritual biology. We connect to the gut-brain, which always functions in no-mind and is home to our intuition — to the integration and digestion of the energies that come our way. Every organ of this tract will be understood and given a chance to express its excess energy.

We dive into the whole digestive tract and its emotional components, and make friends with our helpers, our microbiome. You are — you become — what you let into your body. This will become very clear to you.

As a result, many of our emotional hang-ups reveal themselves, creating a domino effect that invites every cell in the body to let go of its toxins.

We also explore a specific immune system: the one inside the dura that keeps the brain and the spinal cord healthy. In that particular place there is a completely different fluid, and specialised glial cells and stem cells working within the glymphatic system. This is a very new and special field, only properly researched in recent years.

Brain 1

This class focuses on very specific techniques for reading and experiencing the brain. It is the ultimate training in neutrality and awareness. We touch the place where human energy begins to materialise, where the cells are still close to a state of pure electricity.

It all starts with the eyes — with looking inside the body. From there we refine our touch until moving beyond the human form becomes possible.

We then learn to balance and integrate the brain as a whole. Because the circuits of the brain meet at the midline from many different areas, the possibilities are endless. We become able to balance those parts and bring them back into one whole. You will learn to use neural stem cells to repair everywhere that has been damaged by lack of oxygen. We explore the whole brain, visiting all your ventricles and repairing what needs repair.

Finally, we are able to let go and experience a brain in complete harmony — a Buddha Brain.

Brain 2

This class goes into the subconscious and the conscious brain. You will learn to look into your own mirror, and to see the road ahead in your own growth and evolution. What you do with those insights, and where you take them, is your own choice.

We look at the neural connections, the motor and sensory circuits, and restore balance. We come to understand all the homeostatic processes in the brain, and how to release fixed stress so that the brain can function freely again.

Facing your own possibilities, you meet them as an adventure rather than as a fear of trauma.

Finally, we go deep into the new field of glial cells — where pure energy, pure emptiness finds its expression in this world. This is matter at its closest to nothingness.

 Death & Dying

This profound course invites you to explore the journey of death not as an ending, but as a natural, transformative process. Etienne Peirsman weaves a poetic understanding of the body’s disintegration in its final months and weeks, likening this period to being “pregnant with Death.” Together, participants will reflect on life’s crossroads—what has been lived, what remains unspoken, and what lies unexplored.

Through the lens of craniosacral work, this class delves into the interplay between the mind’s perspective and the realm of no-mind, offering tools to stay conscious during life’s final transformation. As Etienne writes:
"Death, when one has really lived life, brings such clarity, such aliveness. To stay conscious during this last transformation is something that needs to be practiced at any moment."

This course also offers insight into the physical process of dying and teaches how to hold space for someone in their final moments. By practicing letting go of life’s baggage, participants can rediscover their pure essence, preparing to live fully and face death with curiosity and grace.

Birthing 

The Birthing course celebrates the miraculous experience of entering this world, carrying Nature’s hope and wonder. Etienne leads participants through a journey of reconnection with the lost treasures of our earliest moments—the wisdom of the placenta, the stem cells of the umbilical cord, and the purity of our embryological beginnings.

Participants will engage in vibrational meditations and active processes that cleanse the body and reconnect it to the “pure field of consciousness that is home to our soul.” Through deep exploration of conception, embryology, and the dynamics of family energies, this course offers an opportunity to:

• Revisit the roles of Baby, Mum, Dad, Placenta, and Umbilicus.
• Release toxins and emotions that do not belong to us.
• Reclaim the clarity and vitality of our original, unconditional self.

Etienne shares, "When we re-enter this no-mind field, we will remember what we really are—a pure, unconditional being. In doing so, we will fulfill Buddha’s last word, Samasati: remember, you are a Buddha."
