You can see the detailed schedule converted to your timezone here.
Live on Zoom. You can participate from anywhere in the world, provided you have a quiet, private space to do the work.

Engage in the Contemplation and Communication Exercise (CCE). You will work in "diads" (pairs), alternating between a listening partner and a contemplating partner. The listening partner provides a silent, non-judgmental space, allowing you to communicate exactly what comes up for you—thoughts, sensations, or barriers—without fear of feedback or correction.
This is a highly structured environment designed to support focus. There is no new data to learn and no formula to memorize. From specific "walking contemplations" to the silence kept during meals, the schedule helps you maintain your intent on the question at hand, removing the distractions of daily life so you can look deeper.
In an environment where your only task is to experience YOU, mental and emotional barriers will naturally surface. Rather than avoiding them, you will use the technique to confront these obstacles directly. The goal is not to gain intellectual understanding, but to authentically experience what is true for you in the moment.


Think of this as a gym for your consciousness.
Unlike a seminar where you passively listen to a lecture, this is an active, participatory event. It is an 11-hour Zen-style environment designed to help you bypass your analytical mind and directly experience who you are at a core level.
The primary tool we use is the Contemplation and Communication Exercise (CCE), practiced in pairs.
Absolutely not.
We are not here to give you a new set of beliefs, a dogma to follow, or a guru to worship.
In fact, our goal is to help you look into your own experience to discover whatever is true.
We provide the structure; you provide the insight. You remain the authority on your own experience at all times.
This immersion is built on the Cheng Hsin work developed by Peter Ralston over the last 50 years.
It is a battle-tested method for deepening your consciousness that has been refined through decades of live workshops.
If you consistently strip away what is false (your thoughts, ideas, and self-concepts), the truth is what remains.
No. We understand that life is busy.
You are welcome to join us for the full 11-hour deep dive (which we highly recommend for the biggest breakthroughs), or you can join for specific blocks of time that fit your schedule.
The immersion is structured in "cycles," so you can jump in when you are available.
If you have never done a CCE (Contemplation and Communication Exercise) before, we strongly recommend joining the 7:30 AM Orientation.
If you absolutely cannot make the workshop welcome but want to join later, please watch the "Foundation for Consciousness" video course so you are ready to jump into a session.
If you have any questions, the facilitator will also be available to answer them.
We operate on a sliding scale from $50 to $150 based on your attendance:
- $50 Drop-In Ticket: Ideal if you are dropping in for just 1 or 2 sessions.
- $100 Half Day: If you plan to attend 3 to 5 sessions.
- $150 Full Day: If you are committing to the majority of the day; 6-10 sessions.
This is an honor-based system. We leave it up to you to determine the value based on your ability to pay and how much of the immersion you plan to attend.
Choose what feels fair to you.

The day is highly structured with alternating blocks of CCE sessions, short talks, and active breaks.
Note on Breaks: We do not take "check your phone" breaks. We practice "Eating Contemplation" (lunch/dinner) and "Walking Contemplation." These are designed to keep your focus unbroken even while nourishing the body.
Where: The entire event is hosted on Zoom. You will receive a single link to join/rejoin throughout the day.

Make sure to select the correct time zone if it hasn't been selected detected automatically. (bottom right side of the calendar)
This is not for people looking for a social hang-out or a theoretical philosophy debate. This is deep work and can often be challenging mentally and emotionally.
Do not come if you are not ready to fully participate and maintain focus.
Whether you come for 2 hours or 11, you are expected to be fully present, vulnerable, and honest during your participation.
I recommend starting with the question "Who am I?"
As a preparation for the immersion, you can watch the following video that will help you clarify the question. (You'll have to create a free account and join our group on Skool to access it)
Yes. We understand that this style of intense inquiry is not for everyone.
If you participate and decide that this method simply isn't the right fit for you, just let us know and we will issue a full refund.
We want you here because you are committed to the process, not because you are locked in by a transaction.
Yes.
We never want money to be a barrier to consciousness. We offer a limited number of discounts and scholarships based on genuine need.
If you are committed to doing the work but cannot afford the ticket apply for a scholarship by emailing us at info@chenghsin.com.
