There Comes A Point…
There comes a point in the inner work where collecting more ideas
is no longer enough.
You've read the books.
Taken the courses.
Listened to the podcasts.
Explored the teachings.
Perhaps you've transformed your life more than once.
And yet something remains.
The same reactions.
The same patterns.
The same hidden forces shaping decisions, relationships,
creativity, purpose, and freedom.
Not because you lack understanding.
Because what governs is often unconscious.
Hidden.
Mechanical.
Invisible to the one being driven by it.
Until it is brought into the light.
The Hero's Journey Is Happening Through You
The Hero's Journey is not simply a myth. It is a living pattern. A map of consciousness that unfolds through every human life.
At each stage of the Journey, an archetypal force emerges.
The Child who hears the call.
The Rebel who fights for necessary change.
The Warrior who develops discipline and mastery.
The Nurturer who learns the wisdom of service and boundaries.
The Lover who is devoted to truth, beauty, and soul purpose.
The Hedonist who discovers that purpose is the deepest pleasure.
The King who creates a thriving kingdom through responsibility.
The Alchemist who transforms experience into wisdom and returns with the elixir.
These forces move through all of us. Sometimes consciously. Often unconsciously.
Until they are recognized, they govern from out of sight. When they are recognized, they become available rather than compulsory. Like playing!
Self Remembering Through Archetype Embodiment
Knowledge alone rarely changes anything. What begins to change us is seeing. Not thinking about it, not believing anything, not identifying. Just seeing.
Throughout this 8 workshop series, filmmaker, acting coach, and teacher of Gurdjieff's work Micah Ellars will guide powerful role-playing exercises, embodiment work, and experiential processes that bring unconscious archetypal patterns into awareness.
Patterns that have remained hidden for years can become visible in moments. The mechanisms and strategies show themselves.... while having fun playing the roles in those archetypal scenarios. It's so much fun. Because no one can predict what will come up. Hysterical laughter has been known to erupt! Revelations happen live and later.
And what can be seen can be worked with.
Archetypes Shadows & Freedom
This course is designed to help participants embody archetypes of the Hero's Journey so they can recognize and dissolve the unconscious obligations that keep archetypal patterns running unconsciously.
Not by fighting them. Not by controlling them. But by observing them clearly enough and asking key questions to release them.
You'll see the patterns that help you to greatly simplify life's challenges.
The Child's fear of survival.
The Rebel's resistance.
The Warrior's need to win.
The Nurturer's self-abandonment.
The Lover's perfectionism.
The Hedonist's attachments.
The King's addiction to power.
The Alchemist's tendency to hide their gifts.
These patterns are not who you are. They are what you can remember yourself through.
What remains when they are seen through is closer to truth. Closer to freedom. Closer to what Gurdjieff called self remembering.

Is there any prior experience needed?
Beginners to this work are welcome to join, but a strong desire for freedom is needed. Since we are including as a free bonus you get immediately on sign up, The End of the False Self online course, you can prepare with the recordings!
What if I can't attend live?
You don't miss anything!! Recordings of every workshop are included following the live Zooms within at least 24 hours.

Is there a refund policy?
There are no refunds. But if you decide to quit you could gift the experience to someone else.
Is there an agreement?
Yes, that you are responsible for your experiences and to accept that you get out of it what you put into it. It's work. But so fun!
The Invitation
The purpose of this work is not to become a better personality. It is not self-improvement. It is not collecting spiritual ideas.
It is to remember. To bring consciousness into what has been unconscious. To distinguish what is true from what is mechanical. To discover what remains when fear, lack, attachment, and conditioning no longer drive the chariot.
The light of consciousness can shine into the darkness. And when it does, something ancient begins to awaken.
A deeper freedom in times of unrest. A greater capacity to choose with intelligence. A life aligned with the truth. A remembering of who you are.
We would love to welcome you!!

“Thank you so much Beth, Micah and everyone in the course. I deeply appreciate being in this group 🧡🌻🙏. I just finished a recording and wanted to say well done. Micah, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us so generously.
The acting work has definitely helped me to observe the false personalities. For a while every time I noticed a program or false personality it would poof vanish and I could not remember anything about it. The course helped w this, I’m now learning to be more subtle, curious and accepting so that I can actually see what the program is before it “runs away.”
I am definitely interested in a continuation of the course and am looking forward to it. Many thanks again 🙏🙏🙏”

Thank you!

“I thought the course was fantastic. Gurdjieff’s work was all new to me and Micah puts it in such a plain speak way, easy to grasp, and easy to run with. He comes up with gems and things I can relate to. It made it much more personal for me.
Seeing where energy is leaked. This is a higher purpose to me.
Besides the experiential part of it, and the aha moments, even through other people, I really enjoyed Micah’s speaking and the nuggets he gives. ”

“This is the most important work people have to do; it’s exactly what people need to do; great it’s put it together in a way that connects with people; because it is quite a complex work.
The role playing and scene work was valuable; It helps to navigate life to find where you’re stuck; I could see myself in repeating patterns of behaviour and could observe them in the moment in a real experience, it’s really good. I like that this work is less philosophical and more experiential. ”
Maija
I definitely feel I’d like to continue working.

“’ve been looking with new eyes since. I’ve always observed dynamics of behaviour. This course gave me some techniques to observe and understand what the traps of the false self are, and where we get stuck in relationship with ourselves.
I was stuck for a long time about what I lost in a fire and I was resistant to finish my claim. I found that through this work I was able to identify that false self in me, the Saboteur. It was so defiant and not wanting to release, and allow me the freedom the process and flow through it. This was wonderful work to examine it, and it was still hard and there are many more layers, but now I have tools now to understand the process of identifying that Saboteur. It was so much bigger than the procrastinator I thought it was.
I have the new realization that I have false selves. I’m seeing the mechanics of it and learning how to be more clear with my true essence, going into things with more essence, and not the false self that messes things up.
I was pretty green coming in but knew instinctively I needed to do this….I love that I can go back and watch sessions again.”

“Since the course I notice more. Now when I know I’ll be around someone who triggers me I prep myself and can stay “online.” I purposefully try to act different around them to not just do my usual, to get out of the habit and shake things up.
The scene work was so fun to watch! ”

Meet Your Guides: Beth Martens & Micah Ellars
Beth Martens and Micah Ellars bring together two complementary approaches to self-discovery, combining the wisdom of the Hero's Journey with the transformative power of embodied experience.
Beth is an author, coach, and creator of the Journey Code and CreatorCode training programs. Her work explores the eight archetypes of the Hero's Journey, helping people recognize unconscious patterns, discover their authentic purpose, and develop greater freedom and agency in their lives.
Micah is a filmmaker, trained acting coach, and inner work teacher whose approach draws on his deep study of G.I. Gurdjieff's teachings. Through guided acting and scene work, he creates opportunities for participants to experience their patterns firsthand, revealing aspects of themselves that intellectual understanding alone may never uncover.
Together, Beth and Micah make self-remembering an engaging, experiential adventure, where the archetypes become living experiences and self-awareness grows through embodiment, discovery, and play.
