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, in 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 Offline 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 a strong emphasis on online and offline work – being with others and by oneself, in creative, authentic and 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 short recorded introduction (?? minutes, click the red symbol on the left to stay on this page):
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 / 11:30am MT / 1:30pm ET
(NOTE: this is half-an-hour earlier than in my previous online events). Calls will be audio-recorded.
On Tuesday 9 June, I will offer a free call, open to everyone, where I’ll introduce and present the Immersion and answer questions. This will be at the same time given just above here, at this Zoom link: ??
On Tuesday 7 July, you’re welcome to join me for an online Blessing Ceremony, which will be mostly silent and last 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 an offline themed Synchronisation-Meditation for around 30 minutes, at 17h UK & Ireland / 18h CET / 9 am PT / 2 pm ET. Occasionally, we’ll meet for a call on Sundays straight after these silent times (see Meeting & Greeting, below). The first themed Synchronisation-Meditation in the Immersion will be on 19 July, following on from Journey 1 the previous week.
On Sunday 12 July, Meeting & Greeting – in breakout groups – will directly follow on from the Synchronisation-Meditation which will be online that day for those who wish. 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 Sunday 12 July at the latest.
Previous participants have written…
“Direct and to the heart.”
“A palpable transmission of love.”
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.
In the second part after the break, 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; I recommend you stay for the entirety of the initial meditative journey if you can. The three scheduled Dialogues with the guidance-stream (between the journeys) will be shorter, without a 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.
“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.”
Why have you chosen this form of Immersion?
I’ve been reading and listening to your feedback and requests… [click to read]
Some of you have asked for material that synthesises the teachings and the practices, in a form that doesn’t require reading and understanding in usual ways. This fits with guidance 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, which continues to come. I long for more creative ways of sharing material like this, in synthesised form, and I like the experimental side of this too. These will be inner journeys which imply, for some of you, a quality of alteredness, while relaxed and receptive.
Some of you have 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.
The guidance has always insisted that we are engaged in world work whenever inquiring into the most personal or intimate 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’ve addressed world work directly, and those of you who’ve engaged with my offerings will have accumulated a lot of material. This Immersion will be different. We’ll explore world work and ourselves in more unexpected or side-ways too.
For instance, the guides are keen to work directly with individuals especially in the Q&A and the Dialogues, inquiring into the energetic essence of your lives ‘through the everyday stuff.’ Each conversation will seek to reveal more of the encoding, so that more is understood and integrated easily and directly, and as witnesses we’ll be touched and impacted differently.
This is part of bringing more of 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 £180 and £800 UK pounds, keeping the lowest level please for those with very reduced financial means or incomes (see below in FAQ if you’re unable to reach this level).
Take time and silence to attune to the right amount for you. 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 accept 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 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, uniquely guided and gifted.
A field of loving accompaniment. A way home.
The guides I work with encourage us to inquire into ourselves, to uncover and explore who and what we are. The published teachings and practices that underpin the field are the fruit of our ongoing cooperation and research. There’s a strong emphasis on developing subtle sensitivities. Through these, 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 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 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 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. Through the guidance, I’ve learned to hold all 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. 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 provided 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.“
When and how do I register?
When to register
Registration is open now. Sign-up as soon as you can now to be with us from the beginning.
If possible, join us in an online blessing ceremony and meditation on Monday 27 January at the same regular time as all calls with me. Register before Friday 24 January to receive the Zoom-link for the ceremony, which will probably last for 20-30 minutes.
How to register – in three steps
- Read the ‘terms and conditions’ underneath here, these are what you’re agreeing to when you pay to participate.
- Attune to an amount to pay as suggested in ‘Cost of participation.’ To do this, pause and invite an inner sense of our work, of what you bring and would like to receive, noticing any kind of inner impulse or information arising spontaneously. This practice embraces a deepening trust of ourselves and of our capacity to act as world.
- REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS YEAR.
- T & C
After you’ve registered you’ll receive – around 25th January – a schedule for our planned calls, a list of participants so far, and some suggestions to practice by yourself if you like, or with others, before we meet for our first call on Monday 3 February. Do join us if you can for the Blessing Ceremony too.

“Appreciating the fineness, expansiveness and heart.”
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 in the Gathering of Men this year. Your support in Switzerland, Germany and France, in the U.S. and Canada, in Scotland and London, is particularly precious.
Through our work there continues to come a flow of consciousness that is fresh and of high frequency. This has brought inspiration, new invitations, challenges and opportunities, movement and flow to my life and participation here. How we are blessed.
