2026 Summer Immersion, with Stephen Busby
Weekly, July – September
2026 Summer Immersion
Learn to feel into the layers and depths of yourselves, freely without inhibition. You find that all the events and opportunities of your lives and of your world are revealed, while behind the appearance of things your life arises in wholeness, integrity and love. It is you who arises and is revealed, who always awaits you.
Guidance for Life on Earth, May 2026
Welcome to an online and offline mix of meetings and meditations, transmissions, teachings and dialogues, personal and small-group practices, including some outdoors. Join me and each other in a new inquiry into our lives, our world, our humanity.
Featuring five immersive journeys on alternate Tuesdays:
- The Spiritual Journey
- The Inner Life
- The Human Self in Time and Space
- The Guided Life
- The Earth, You, and Humanity
Plus these options:
- Personal practices following each journey, to explore and enrich by yourself.
- Dialogues with the guidance-stream between the journeys, to unpack principles and practices.
- Themed Synchronisations – forms of meditation, meeting within.
- Relational practices, either with your existing practice-partners or choose new configurations.
- Outdoor journeys, offline, with suggested practices in open spaces of nature, awe and beauty.
- Meeting & Greeting, gathering in breakout groups to share and reflect, in support of our relational spaces and container.
- Sharing The Harvest, an opportunity to share moments and learning, openings and insight with our wider field.
Why this Immersion now?
This is a new synthesis in the field of Guidance for Life on Earth, one that has been wanting to come for a while.
At the core are the five journeys, each building upon those that precede it. These will draw upon and distill a consciousness that many of us are increasingly opening to and living from. There’s an emphasis on online and offline work – being with others and by oneself, in creative, authentic, synchronised ways.
The invitation is essentially to show up, to realise who we are and why we’re here in human form, and to practice imaginatively in ways that ground this remembering in and as our everyday life, as the world we’re here to bring into being.
Listen to this two-minute introduction (click on the red symbol at the left-hand side):
What are the dates and times?
Most calls with me will be on Tuesdays, at:
16:30 UK & Ireland / 17:30 CET / 8:30am PT / 9:30am MT / 11:30am ET
This is half-an-hour earlier than in my previous online events. Calls will be audio-recorded.
On Tuesday 9 June, there will be a free call, open to everyone, where I’ll introduce and present the Immersion and answer questions. This will be at the same time shown above, at this Zoom link (meeting ID: 830 2366 8627 passcode: 481228).
On Tuesday 7 July, you’re welcome to join me for an online Blessing Ceremony, which will be mostly silent, for around 30 minutes.
These are the twelve offerings:
12 July (Sunday): Meeting & Greeting
14 July: Journey 1
21 July: Offline Outdoors
28 July: Journey 2
4 August: 1st Dialogue
11 August: Journey 3
25 August: Journey 4
1 September: 2nd Dialogue
6 September (Sunday): Offline Outdoors
8 September: Journey 5
13 September (Sunday): 3rd Dialogue
22 September: Sharing The Harvest
There may well be some bonus gifts too.
Every Sunday there will be a themed Synchronisation-Meditation, mostly offline, for around 30 minutes, at 17h UK & Ireland / 18h CET / 9 am PT / 12 pm ET. Occasionally, we’ll meet for a call straight afterwards, as we will after the first Synchronisation-Meditation on 12 July…
… On Sunday 12 July, Meeting & Greeting – in breakout groups – will directly follow on from the first Synchronisation-Meditation which will be online that day. There may be further Meetings & Greetings held on other Sundays too.
In July and September, the two Offline Outdoors will be at whichever of your own times work for you on these days, wherever there are spaces of nature nearby. Suggestions will be offered beforehand. The first is on a Tuesday, the second on a Sunday.
If you want to join us for the first journey then you’ll need to register by Saturday 11 July at the latest.
Previous participants have written…
“Things I know are presented with a clarity and a depth that is becoming my own.”
“A strong transmission which sparkles with something deep inside and all around me.”
What are the themes of the five journeys?
The Spiritual Journey –
Who wants, learns, loves, and becomes. Embodying the sovereign self. Coming home.
The Inner Life –
Form and essence. Choice and creativity. Being and sensing within. The art of embodied inquiry.
The Human Self in Time and Space –
Living as world. The historical present, the future now. Wholeness and fragmentation.
The Guided Life –
Living in guidance. Inner perception, attention and application. Non-physical friends and allies.
The Earth, You, and Humanity –
Consciousness and knowing. Capacity and containment. Dreaming the everyday.
How will the calls with me work?
Each of the five journeys will be in two parts – the first for around an hour, followed by a 10 minute break, and the second part for up to an hour.
In the first part, I’ll invite you to relax into a guided meditative transmission. You’ll then explore suggested themes or reflections with others in a breakout-space.
After the break, in the second part, we’ll open up a large-group sharing, followed by some Q&A with the guidance-stream. There will also be practices offered for inquiry by yourself, and with others, to explore before we gather the next time.
You’ll be free to come and go as you need of course. If you can, stay for the entirety of the initial meditative journey.
The three scheduled Dialogues with the guidance-stream (between the journeys) will be shorter, with a small break.
How will our calls with each other happen?
To optimise learning and practice, you’re encouraged to meet with some fellow travellers between each of our five journeys.
You may have practice-partners already, in or outside the Immersion, or choose proactively to meet with people you encounter here, even if once only. You might explore staying with those you know, as well as those you don’t. You’re welcome to commit to meeting and knowing yourself more intimately through these spaces. There are no wrong choices.
I’ll be suggesting guided practices or themes for inquiry, intended for ‘live’ relational spaces. Your spaces together will prompt fresh inner-outer experiences which will also enrich our next calls and our deepening field.
“Direct and to the heart.”
“A palpable transmission of love.”
Why have you chosen this form of Immersion?
I’ve been reading and listening to your feedback and requests… [click to read]
You’ve asked for material that synthesises the teachings and the practices, in a form that doesn’t require reading and understanding in usual ways. The guidance affirms that more can be conveyed in relaxed or meditative states, where we tend less to try to grasp ideas and retain them.
Consciousness of a certain frequency is encoded into the materials, which needn’t be approached or understood as we’re used to doing. Each journey will begin with a meditative transmission, where I’ll share inner material received since April, and which continues to come. I long for more creative ways of sharing material like this, in synthesised form. These will be inner journeys which imply, for some of you, a quality of alteredness, while relaxed and receptive.
You’ve also asked for opportunities to engage with each other in ways that don’t depend on you reaching out to others or being asked by others. There will be breakout spaces built into each journey therefore, and into the two gatherings that bookend the whole Immersion (Meeting & Greeting, and Sharing The Harvest). In the breakouts there will be themes or questions to work with.
And you’ve asked to deepen into world work. The guidance has always insisted that we are engaged in world work whenever inquiring into the most personal aspects of our lives, and that this is the only way that what we think of as ‘change’, on a planetary level, can come about. Over these last years I have addressed world work directly, and those of you who’ve engaged with my offerings will have accumulated a lot of material. In this Immersion, we’ll explore world work and ourselves in some unexpected ways.
The guides will work directly with individuals in the Q&A and the Dialogues, there where you are most confronted or curious. Each conversation will seek to reveal more of the encoding, so that more may be understood, integrated and embodied, and as witnesses we’ll be touched and impacted differently too.
This is part of bringing ourselves into contact and relatedness, adventurously, audaciously. If you’re here reading these words and are feeling moved, or anything unexpected, then there’s a strong chance that you’re here for this, and are up for the experiment.
What’s the cost of joining?
In exchange for guided journeys, teachings, practices, and offline work, I suggest an amount to pay between £ 200 and £ 800 UK pounds. (For those with very reduced financial means, £ 175 is acceptable; see below in FAQ if you’re unable to reach this level).
Please take time and silence to attune to the right amount for you and our field. To attune is to become quietly receptive. Whatever you pay will be gratefully received. If you’re able to pay more in support of our field then this will enable me to include those who cannot reach the lower range. Thank you.
Details of when and how to register are further below – after ‘Answers to possible questions.’
“A loving and compassionate presence – a joy to experience. These qualities always were yours and now they shine extra brightly.”
Answers to possible questions (FAQ)
What is this field of work?
This is a field of consciousness, of inquiry and embrace, of contact and connection, of stillness and deepening intimacy with self and others, of encounters with worlds within and beneath our familiar surfaces and events. A field nourished by a stream of guided mystical teachings and practices – provocative, visionary ideas and frameworks, and by all that comes through each person here, each uniquely guided and gifted.
A field of loving accompaniment. A way home.
The guides I work with encourage us to inquire into ourselves in experiential ways, to uncover and explore who and what we are, what our world actually is. The published teachings and practices that underpin the field are the fruit of ongoing cooperation and research. There’s a strong emphasis on developing our subtle sensitivities as part of an inquiry into the energetics of everyday life, a pathway into embodied wholeness, and a realisation of our true nature. Thus we strengthen our capacity for an engaged form and field of inner and relational work that is wholly transformative of our world.
A field open to all, through in-person or online events, inner work, or simply by meeting with each other in alive inquiry. There’s a group Facebook-page that reflects some of what we do together; anyone with some knowledge of the published materials is welcome to join, and all of my upcoming events are shown there.
If you haven’t seen it yet, check out my new video here.
What if I can’t participate in everything?
You’re welcome whenever or however you can show up in some way, silently or otherwise. Calls with me will be audio-recorded, so you can work with the material in your own time.
If you’re able to join us ‘live’ then please do so – you may notice subtle or vibrational qualities or movements in our spaces, which are effects of the consciousness we’re inviting.
The material is activated in us through personal work and practice with others, in simple relational ways. This enables its integration into our everyday life. Practicing like this is tremendously supportive in more ways than many people realise, and is usually far easier too.
The breakout spaces during calls with me will enable you to meet others easily in the consciousness available to us here. Then, if you wish, you’ll arrange to meet after those calls, with more space to explore together.
Participation is also an idea and perhaps a pattern, and need not follow established lines or pathways. I’ve learned to hold plans and programmes very lightly and am often astonished and changed by ‘what happens’ as I let these go.
What if I can’t afford the cost?
It’s important for each of us to listen for and follow an inner summons – for you if something here is alive and calling you, and for me if you’re drawn to join us. Whatever your financial situation I will work with you creatively to make participation possible.
If you’re unable to pay at the lower limit then send an email describing your situation with an offer of what you could pay, to: [email protected]
Will I need to stay until the end of the calls, and be in the breakouts?
No, and no. It’s helpful for our work together if you can be there at the beginning of calls whenever this is possible.
If – during a call with me – you know you’ll be unable to take part in a breakout-group or if you prefer not to be in one, then simply let me know early on in the call by sending me a brief message in the chat-box. Or send me one message for the whole of the Immersion.
Will I need to understand and do everything – and practice it all?
No!
We’re each here to explore and honour our inner experience. The themes and structure offered will help in framing understanding and in stimulating sensitivity, and are more about working with subtle energies than understanding in conventional ways. Not everything will speak to everyone.
You’re free to practice whatever you feel drawn to, or wherever you feel a theme or invitation may take you to a new threshold or edge in yourself.
What will follow on from the Immersion?
I’m currently attuning to one or two residential retreats here in Findhorn – for a group in early December, and perhaps another at Easter 2027, for which participation in this Immersion will be a prerequisite.
You’re welcome to let me know during the Immersion if you’ve a sense that one of these retreats could be for you. For December, details should be available after the summer. I’m open to other suggestions and invitations too.
“Amazing the way you worked with us so specifically and effectively.”
“Guidance and discernment have never been clearer or more gentle.“

Acknowledgements
My gratitude especially to all those who worked with me in the Unexpected Series of Calls at the end of last year, in the Winter Study Residency and the Gathering of Men this year, and in smaller meetings. Your support in Switzerland and Sweden, in Germany and France, in the U.S. and Canada, in Ireland, Scotland, England and London, is particularly precious.
Consent to receive yourself and each other, in inner aspects that are unknown or unexplored, as many of you here are summoned to do, and you realise that the world you provide yourself is configured to meet you in all its circumstances, in all those circumstances that for you are personal, such that your greater experiment be fulfilled at the level of your lifetime and at the level of your Earth, inseparably so.
