Open Consciousness Institute & The Narrative Crafting Co. present...

Holistic Illumination

A 2-Day Immersion for those who are tired of forcing change, bypassing pain, or trying to manifest from a dysregulated nervous system.

The Immersion Begins...

July 11 & 12, 2026 | 11am EST; 8am PST (4 hours per day + breaks)


Join Mirjam Paninski and Brian Hogan for a powerful, illuminating 2-Day Immersion to unlock the secrets to manifestation through polyvagal informed nervous system regulation and ebmodied desire.

Through carefully crafted experiences you'll dissolve beliefs and emotional blocks keeping you stuck in scarcity and cultural programming and learn to transcend old patterns through acceptance instead of force of will.

Through creative parts work (IFS or Internal Family Systems), and a felt sense of saftey created by EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques or 'tapping') participants discover their real desires, and how to meet them at their own home address: peace.

In 2 Days you will...

Learn to transcend cultural programming by embracing joy and freedom

Learn to manifest in alignment with polyvagal principles not magical thinking

Discover how nervous system regulation + freedom from cultural programming create the environment for your manifestations to--well--manifest.

Meet the parts of yourself that hold you back from manifestations they aren't ready for, and offer them grace

Learn the art and paradox of transformation through radical self-accptance of what is. When nothing needs to change anymore, it finally can.

How the journey unfolds...

DAY 1:

Embodied Desire

DAY 2:

Manifestation

Day 1 is about shedding old programming and embracing innate desire.
Day 2 is about safety and peace: the seeds of manifestation
Together, they form a complete arc from liberation to creative expression

DAY 1 - AM

Module #1

Letting Go of Programmed Desires

Most of us were taught what to want long before we were ever allowed to feel what we actually want.

In this opening session, we gently unravel the layers of cultural conditioning, survival strategies, and inherited expectations that shape desire from the outside in. Through nervous-system regulation, parts work, and embodied awareness, participants begin releasing desires rooted in scarcity, comparison, obligation, or protection.

This session is not about “figuring out” what you want. It’s about creating enough internal safety to stop wanting what was never yours to carry.

DAY 1 - PM

Module #2

Learning By Yearning

Once programmed desire loosens its grip, something quieter and more honest can emerge.

In this session, we explore yearning not as lack or longing, but as a form of intelligence. Participants learn how to listen to desire as a bodily signal rather than a mental demand. Instead of pushing toward outcomes, we practice orienting toward what feels alive, meaningful, and true in the present moment.

This is where desire shifts from pressure to guidance — from something to chase into something to trust.

DAY 2 - AM

Module #3

Mastering the State of Being

Manifestation does not begin with action. It begins with state.

This session focuses on cultivating and stabilizing the internal conditions that make change possible. Participants learn how nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and internal coherence create the environment where aligned movement can naturally arise.

Rather than forcing yourself into a “high vibration” or positive mindset, you’ll learn how to return to a grounded, resourced state that supports clarity, creativity, and responsiveness.

This is the foundation that makes manifestation sustainable rather than exhausting.

DAY 2 - PM

Module #4

Unfoldment in the State of Affairs

When state changes, action changes — not through effort, but through alignment.

In the final session, we explore how regulated being translates into real-world movement. Participants learn how to recognize when action is emerging organically versus when it’s being driven by fear, urgency, or old survival patterns. We work with timing, resistance, and trust, allowing next steps to unfold without self-abandonment.

This session emphasizes integration: how to live from what has shifted, how to stay oriented when challenges arise, and how to let life respond to you as much as you respond to it.

This Immersion is for you if...

Your Image

You've tried manifestation in the past and discovered forcing yourself to "think positive thoughts" was not only impossible but ineffective.

You've had mixed results trying to create the life you want and suspsect you might be bypassing your trauma without even meaning to.

You have tried arguing with your limiting beleifs, your parts, and your patterns, and like quicksand, they seem to suck you back in.

You are ready for a gentler way to create transformation that lasts insated of massive changes that never really stick.

You can embrace the mystery and paradox at the heart of any deeply transformative healing experience.

This Immersion is NOT for you if...

You are looking for manifestation techniques based on positive thinking, visualization, or “high-vibration” mindset shifts alone.

You believe lasting change comes from forcing yourself through discipline, willpower, or self-control.

You want spiritual language to help you bypass emotional pain, trauma, or nervous system realities.

You are seeking a substitute for individual therapy or crisis-level mental health support.

You are not willing to slow down, listen to your body, and work with resistance rather than override it.

Brian Hogan

Filmmaker | Therapist | Founder of The S.H.I.F.T. Model™

Brian Hogan is a public speaker, award-winning filmmaker, licensed clinical therapist and life coach. Brian is the founder of The S.H.I.F.T. Model™—an integrated approach to healing complex trauma, and transcending the limits of identity and culture—rooted in Polyvagal Theory, Parts Work, and EFT Tapping. S.H.I.F.T. stands for Somatic Holistic Internal Family Tapping and at its heart the model embraces the paradox of transformation through radical self-acceptance.

Brian’s combination of passions in storytelling, spirituality, and mental health uniquely qualifies him to help clients master their own inner-narrative, see past it to their deeper intuition and then learn how to guide their life from that wiser, steadier and more benevolent place that includes, body, mind, heart and spirit. Brian believes we are in the middle of a massive species-wide transformation of consciousness and he feels called to be a part of it. In his spare time, Brian enjoys playing with his niece and nephew and watching superhero movies.

Why Listen to Brian & Mirjam...

Brian is an IFS therapist and certified EFT practitioner who has lived through the kinds of identity confusion, family rupture, and internalized shame this work addresses. As a gay man raised in a rigid belief system, navigating abandonment and spiritual disillusionment, he learned that healing does not come from forcing positivity or fixing yourself, but from learning how to feel safe enough to come alive again. This work was born from that journey.

Mirjam is deeply intuitive and brings a deeply attuned, somatic approach to healing and integration. Her work emphasizes safety, self-trust, and meeting the nervous system with respect rather than urgency.
