OP2 - Journey to Paititi
OP2 - Reflect and share the experiences, un/learnings, design, structure, and outcomes of my participation in a month long immersive transformational retreat at the Paititi institute in the Peruvian Amazon. My goals are to articulate my personal transformation process while sharing, analyzing, and assessing the design, values, and structure of the retreat, highlighting the institutes' integration of ancient wisdom traditions and daily living in both theory and practice.
OP3 - Production Education & Project Practice
OP3 - Share the documentation, design, structure, experiences, and un/learnings surrounding a 4 month immersion into the art and practice of digitally recorded music production. This OP will follow my process of learning to record and produce music through helping others' with engineering, writing, and organizing of their own material. My goal is to share the evolution of this process and how it has affected me on a personal and professional level.
OP4 - PAIKEA & Life on Pimu
OP4 - This OP will document the un/learnings, analysis, and design process of self-producing my second full length music album, while detailing my life-transition in returning to my hometown of Avalon, on Catalina Island. The album portion of the output will focus on the design and analysis of my personal recording and production process, while the latter will focus on my re-integration into community life where I am called to bring forth and harness my skills as a compassionate leader, group facilitator, creative integrator, conscious communicator, teacher, and friend.
OP5 - Learning Review
OP5 - This OP will reflect not only on my capstone phase but on my entire Gaia program cycle as a whole. It will detail the un/learnings, design, and outcomes of my process and experience of being a Gaia U associate on a personal, project, and professional level. My goal is to integrate the key take-aways from both this cycle and the last in the most concise and efficient way possible, while still delivering the more creative and poetic spirit which I enjoy sculpting into my writing style and project management as a Gaia U designer.
