December Conscious Collective
The Liminal Leader: Stability in Motion
Seasonal stillness is your strategy to prepare for 2026.
This month is built around one essential idea:
When the external world accelerates, your inner world must stay steady.
Across the month, you’ll reset your system, refine your timing, and enter 2026 with clarity and coherence.
December, 2025
WHO THIS IS FOR
This experience is for the Seeker-Leader —
the person navigating inner growth while holding real-world responsibility.You’re the right fit if you want to:
stay grounded while guiding others through uncertainty
lead with clarity, timing, and coherence in 2026
integrate intuition and intelligence instead of choosing between them
build the inner stability your outer leadership depends on
If you’re someone who seeks inward and leads outward,
you’re not split —
you’re evolving.
This space is designed for you.WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
The pace of change has outstripped our capacity to integrate it.
2025 stretched attention and resilience thin, and 2026 will amplify those pressures — fast.Old planning won’t keep up.
Intuition alone won’t anchor you.
But Seeker-Leaders — those willing to grow inward while leading outward — can build a different kind of readiness.December is the hinge point.
The stability you build now becomes the internal infrastructure you’ll rely on when:
decisions must be made quickly
timing matters more than strategy
people look to you for calm and coherence
the external world accelerates faster than your calendar can
This is not self-care.
It’s future-proofing your leadership at a physiological level.2026 will reward those who can stay present in motion, regulate under pressure, and sense emerging patterns before they fully appear.
You can’t enter the next cycle with last year’s capacity.
You need a new rhythm, a new clarity, and a new way of moving through uncertainty —
and this is where you build it.
GAZE 1: Crossing the Threshold
60 minutes · Live Gathering· Dec 3 at 7pm ET
This is the anchor of December’s Conscious Collective — a full GAZE immersion designed to reset your system, widen your perception, and install the internal stability you’ll need for 2026.
In a world that’s accelerating, most people tense against uncertainty.
Seeker-Leaders need a different rhythm: coherence in motion.
This session guides you through gaze patterns that re-regulate your nervous system, clear your mind, and open intuitive timing.
You will:
-
release the pressure you’ve been carrying
-
return to a steadier physiological baseline
-
sense timing instead of forcing decisions
-
reconnect with inner rhythm
-
experience the quiet clarity beneath your usual thoughts
This is the session that reorients you —
the inner footing you’ll rely on for the year ahead.
GAZE 2:The Longest Night
60 minutes · Live Gathering · Dec 21 at 9:30 am ET
This Solstice gathering is your hinge point between 2025 and 2026 — a guided GAZE session designed to help you release the year behind you and orient toward the one ahead.
We’ll move through a gentle downward-and-upward gaze sequence that mirrors the Solstice itself: descent → stillness → return.
You will:
reset your internal compass for 2026
clarify what you’re carrying forward and what you’re releasing
re-regulate your perception through a Solstice-specific GAZE
experience renewal in a grounded, embodied way
This is the moment the whole month prepares you for —
a quiet, powerful reset to enter the next cycle with clarity.
COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS: A Circle for Integration, Meaning-Making & Collective Insight
60 minutes · Live ·Reflective, and Practical · Dec 10 & 11 at 1pm ET
Our final session is a community conversation to help you integrate your GAZE experiences and turn insight into direction for 2026.
This is where the nervous system settles, meaning becomes clear, and personal shifts consolidate.
You will:
-
process what surfaced in the GAZE sessions
-
articulate what feels complete and what wants attention
-
hear how other Seeker-Leaders are navigating this threshold
-
clarify the next steps you want to take into 2026
This is where experience becomes wisdom —
and where you leave the threshold with a grounded sense of direction.
Annie L. Browning, MDiv, LCSW, Ph.D. Candidate
Integrating Systems, Science and Consciousness for Soul-Reflecting Change
Annie Browning is the creator of GAZE, a method that blends neuroscience, symbolism, and transpersonal psychology to help leaders and seekers navigate uncertainty with clarity. A PhD candidate in psychology, Annie’s research explores Conscious Futuring, time distortion, and intolerance of uncertainty, grounding her facilitation in evidence-informed practice.
With over two decades of experience as a psychotherapist, minister, and consciousness facilitator, Annie integrates academic rigor, spiritual depth, and lived experience into her work. Her approach is shaped not only by training in altered states and transpersonal psychology but also by her own journey through profound loss—bringing authenticity and compassion to every space she holds.
As a speaker and guide, Annie is known for creating inclusive, transformational experiences that foster resilience, creativity, and deeper presence. When she’s not facilitating, she finds renewal on her farm, in the mountains, and with her family.

Annie Browning's GAZE method will take you to a deeper place within, one without borders, one where mystery emerges for a life of aliveness. The GAZE method helped me recognize and appreciate my superintuitive gifts, experiencing the unseen around me and in nature. It opened creativity, and allows me to just be present to others with ease and tenderness. Annie is a wise, authentic, and loving teacher--a gift.
Diane
"In a world full of uncertainty and complexity, the GAZE™ method helped me address the fear and anxiety I feel about our social and political climate, especially issues like alienation, polarization, and incivility. Through GAZE™, I began by letting go of my ego, then worked on attuning to others and improving my interpersonal awareness. I then connected with a broader, collective consciousness—essential for building hope, resilience, and determination for our future."
Donna
As a decade long meditator and someone who is incredibly devoted to my spiritual practice, I am beyond grateful to discover GAZE. This highly effective method offers a safe, reliable and incredibly efficient way to “drop in”. With GAZE I am able to reach an expanded state of consciousness, opening me to higher realms, spiritual insights and a vast experience of my own divine nature. Over time, I find it to be cumulative, supporting me in not only raising my vibrational frequency, but also maintaining it.
John
For months, I struggled with a complex leadership challenge that kept me awake at night. After just one GAZE™️ session with Annie, everything shifted. The experience gave me unprecedented clarity that no amount of traditional analysis had provided.
What surprised me most was how the guidance I received arrived at exactly the right moment and in exactly the form I needed. It wasn't just conceptual—it was deeply practical. I walked away with not only a profound sense of certainty and peace about my direction, but also specific, tangible actions I could implement immediately.
Backed by Science –How GAZE™️ Works
GAZE is not metaphysical.
It’s a practice rooted in neuroscience, human potential research, and the deep wisdom of perception. Using breath, mantra, and gaze, GAZE induces rapid shifts in awareness—expanding your capacity to see clearly, feel deeply, and respond wisely in uncertain times.
Cyclic breath disrupts default patterns in the brain and body, creating openings for altered awareness and intuitive insight.
Mantra quiets mental noise and anchors attention, helping you stay centered in complexity.
Gaze training softens and expands your visual field, dissolving bias and increasing sensitivity to subtle cues—both internal and external.
Together, these elements form a reliable method for entering holotropic states without substances, bypass, or performance.
Whether you're leading others or simply sensing that life is asking more of you—
GAZE offers a way to:
Break out of habitual reactivity
Perceive patterns and meaning beneath the noise
Make choices that resonate with deeper knowing
You don’t need a title to lead. You just need a willingness to see differently—and act from that place.
Leadership research (Scharmer, 2018; Kegan & Lahey, 2016) and spiritual traditions alike point to the same truth:
When perception expands, so does possibility.GAZE is how we train for that expansion.
What You'll Receive
Most transformational programs teach you to add more tools.
This one rewires how you see—so that your presence becomes the tool.
Across three live sessions, you’ll practice the GAZE Method in real time and learn to apply it when life is uncertain. Each session includes grounded guidance, expanded-state practice, and space for integration.
One participant put it this way:
“I could finally feel the ground beneath me. I didn’t need to fix everything—I could see differently. And from there, move differently.”
This is not about consuming more content. It’s about anchoring a new way of seeing—one that shifts how you respond, relate, lead, and live.
Whether you hold space for others, guide teams, create art, care for family, or are simply navigating your next threshold—this is for you.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
You’re navigating uncertainty in your work, community, or personal life—and the old ways of forcing control aren’t working anymore.
You’re tired of performing clarity on the outside while feeling unsteady on the inside.
You’ve outgrown surface-level tools and want practices that meet you at both the spiritual and practical level.
You long for steadiness—not by having more answers, but by trusting your own perception and intuition.
You’re ready for a shift in how you see, so that your actions arise from presence, not pressure.
