Why this program exists

  • A complete path, not a starting point. Most coaching programs give you the foundation. This one gives you the full architecture — from your first credential to the depth of a master. Three levels. One lineage.

  • Four traditions, woven into one. ICF coaching, clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, and the transpersonal contemplative tradition — each contributing what the others cannot. The result is a coach who can work at depth that technique alone cannot reach.

  • 83 practices that become yours for life. One contemplative practice per week, calibrated to the work of that week. Not exercises. A toolkit you carry into every session, every relationship, every dimension of your work.

  • Immersives that go where online learning cannot. Three residential or fully online immersive bookends per level — opening, mid-program, and closing. The container is real. The transmission, when it comes, is real. Regardless of geography. 

What You’ll Gain

  • Global Recognition — Your training aligns with a coach education standard trusted in over 140 countries.

  • Five original frameworks as your working tools. ROUSER, ICEF, ITM, the Emotional Alchemy Mandala, and the Meta Pets Method — a complete transformation architecture..

  • Mastery of 25+ NLP techniques, including Core Transformation, Six-Step Reframe, Fast Phobia Cure, Parts Dynamics, and Gestalt Dialogue.

  • Community & Lifelong Growth — Benefit from upward mobility with ICF’s continuing education resources and peer-rostered community.

  • Membership in a lineage. Not just a cohort. A living tradition of conscious catalysts building a world where 10 billion people can be free, conscious, and happy. 



 

“Embark on your coaching journey with the trusted foundation of ICF Level 1 accreditation. This isn’t just training, it’s a launchpad for your purpose, your professional goals, and your impact in the world of happiness and well-being.”

A program that doesn't just train coaches.

It transforms them.

The Transpersonal Coaching Program — developed by World Happiness Academy in partnership with the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy (IIH) — is the most integrated coaching training ever assembled. It brings together four distinct lineages of practice and five original frameworks into a single developmental path. The result is not a coach who knows more techniques. It is a coach who has been genuinely changed by the training — and whose clients feel that difference in every session.

Who Should Enroll?

Coaches and practitioners who have done the foundational work — and are ready to go deeper than any single methodology can take them.

Leaders, educators, and healers who want to work with the full human being — not just behavior, not just mindset, but the whole person across every dimension.

Those who feel called to leave something behind — a legacy, a lineage, a practice that continues to transform others long after the formal work ends.

ROUSER Coaching Model

Conscious Catalyst of Well-Being

The ROUSER model is the anchor instrument of this program — used at every level as both a selfassessment tool and a coaching compass. Six pillars. Forty-two questions. Twelve archetypes. Taken at Day 0, at every mid-program checkpoint, and at every level closing, it maps the transformation across the full 83-week journey.

Program Structure

This comprehensive program consists of a series of modules, each focusing on different aspects of happiness and well-being. Here’s an overview of the program's structure: 

 MODEL ONE ¡ The unifying scaffold

The Integrative Transformation Model.

A unified developmental architecture that holds the Shadow-Gift-Essence framework in formal theoretical scaffolding. Three pillars. Five stages. Seven mechanisms. One coherent map for transformation.

The three pillars

  • Jungian individuation — the lifelong process of becoming who we truly are. We cannot become whole by rejecting parts of ourselves; we integrate the shadow to access the Self.
  • The Shadow-Gift-Essence framework — emotional patterns are not problems to fix but pathways to grow. Shadow holds compressed intelligence. Gift is the adaptive function inside the shadow. Essence is the core quality that emerges when both are integrated.
  • Consciousness evolution research — human consciousness evolves through predictable developmental stages. Shadow integration accelerates both personal growth and collective evolution.
 

 

MODEL TWO ¡ The operational instrument

The Emotional Alchemy Mandala.

Every emotion carries intelligence. The question is not how to get rid of difficult emotions but how to liberate the energy inside them. The Mandala organizes eleven emotion families and shows their S→G→E trajectory — a teachable, deployable map for any session.

The eleven emotion families

Each family carries its own shadow (the contracted expression), its own gift (the adaptive function), and its own essence (the core quality the emotion points to when fully integrated). Use this as the coach's continuously-available reading instrument.

MODEL THREE ¡ The symbolic deployment

The Meta Pets Method.

A card-based system of 64 cosmic creatures, each composed of three symbolic animals fused into a single hybrid being. Each card carries the SGE arc as Shadow, Gift, Essence. Designed to bypass ego defenses through symbolic play.

The origin

The Meta Pets Method is a card-based system of 64 cosmic creatures, each composed of three symbolic animals fused into a single hybrid being. The system was developed by Luis Miguel Gallardo, drawing on non-dual wisdom (Advaita Vedanta), Jungian depth psychology, the Gene Keys and Dream Arc, hypnotherapy, and contemporary neuroscience. The first Meta Pet — Felicia — emerged from a contemplative encounter with a Mexican shaman's painting in San Miguel de Allende and combines the deer, dragon lizard, eagle, and elephant.

The architecture

Each card carries three transformative layers. The Shadow: a disowned, suppressed, or distorted part of ourselves. The Gift: the power that emerges when we work with that shadow. The Essence: our highest potential, often masked by the first two. Each card is mirror, koan, and friend simultaneously.

MODEL FOUR ¡ The unifying meta-framework

The Integrated Consciousness Evolution Framework.

ICEF unifies three theoretical streams into a single operational measurement architecture: the Global Pain & Trauma Map (with its seven-domain taxonomy and Hawkins consciousness calibration); Fundamental Peace (with its four validated components and network-level neural signatures); and a five-dimension practical measurement protocol grounded in established self-report instruments. ICEF specifies a three-layer measurement architecture and composite indices that can be computed for individuals (ICEI) and extended to groups (GCEI). The framework situates the entire measurement system within the Shadow → Gift → Essence transformation process described by the ITM.
