This pathway supports your sense of belonging to yourself and to the larger web of life. It explores how you orient to meaning, intuition, creativity, rest, and energy hygiene. The core question:
“What do I believe in, and what am I here to cultivate?”
THE HIGHER SELF PATHWAY
The Higher Self is the part of you that seeks vision, not just survival. It’s the part that yearns for stillness, reverence, and deep-rooted alignment.
It invites you to connect with something beyond the day-to-day, whether that’s through ancestral wisdom, spiritual ritual, creativity, or communion with nature.
We've traded depth for speed, presence for productivity, and inner knowing for endless distraction. The result is a generation of people living on the surface of their own lives - physically present but mentally and energetically absent, going through the motions while feeling fundamentally homeless within themselves. It's a crisis of connection to ourselves, each other and nature.
“As systems break down and the world feels like its on fire, I have always found myself interested in exploring spiritual solutions to life’s big problems. And I think that others are doing that too. Maybe without even knowing it.
— Melissa Nkomo, Founder, Kunye & Slow Wellness

This pathway integrates neuroscience around default mode network activity, creative flow states, and the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system through awe, imagination, and meditation. It also draws from ancient practices of ritual, prayer, and contemplation.
The Outer Self pathway taps into your deepest intelligence, the part of you that knows things your thinking mind hasn't figured out yet.
This might be the quiet voice that emerges during a walk in nature, the clarity that comes after meditation, or the sense of rightness you feel when you're truly aligned with your values.
Our "higher power" might simply be the highest, wisest, most integrated version of ourselves.
