Overflowing Purpose

Your Guide to Personal and Collective Transformation

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
—Mary Oliver

What if your unique answer to this question could reshape not only your own life, but also contribute to healing the world’s greatest challenges?

If you’ve been feeling lost amid personal struggles or global chaos, you’re not alone. The uncertainty of modern times can cloud our sense of purpose, leaving us disconnected from both ourselves and the world.

Overflowing Purpose is here to help you discover that within the overwhelming challenges of our world lies a unique opportunity: a calling to step into your deepest purpose and make a meaningful difference — not just for yourself, but for all of humanity.

This course offers not just insight, but practical tools to reconnect with what matters most — your sense of purpose — and leverage that connection to navigate a complex world with resilience and passion.

To truly flourish in today’s complex world, you need a deep connection to your unique purpose — a purpose that not only guides you through personal challenges but also helps you navigate the larger crises affecting our world. Overflowing Purpose is more than just a course; it’s a transformative journey designed to align your personal growth with the greater needs of the world.

Led by Lee Mason and a diverse group of renowned thought leaders, this course offers you the tools to discover and live your unique purpose with more clarity, passion, and presence. With insights from thought leaders such as Ken Wilber, Beena Sharma, John Vervaeke, Greg Thomas, Peter Merry, and others, this course empowers you to craft a deeply embodied sense of purpose, helping you make a meaningful impact, even in the face of global crises.

Each of us has a unique contribution to make—a purpose that we alone can embody. Yet, with the overwhelm of modern life, it’s easy to feel disconnected from that deeper sense of meaning. Overflowing Purpose invites you to reconnect with your life’s purpose—not as a distant goal, but as a dynamic, evolving process you engage with every day.

Your Personal Guide Through the Metacrisis

Your Personal Guide Through the Metacrisis

In today’s world, we face an unprecedented array of interconnected crises — a phenomenon often described as the metacrisis.

It’s called a “metacrisis” because it’s not just a collection of isolated problems, but an intricate web of challenges that compound and reinforce each other. Environmental degradation fuels political instability. Inequality worsens mental health issues. Technological disruption creates economic divides. Each crisis is tied to the others, creating a complex set of feedback loops that makes them difficult to solve in isolation. To truly address the metacrisis, we need a holistic, integrative approach that looks at both the big picture and our personal role within it.

In the face of these vast and interconnected challenges, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. It can be hard to see how individual actions make any difference when the problems seem so large. But here’s the key: none of us can see the entire metacrisis clearly. We each perceive only parts of it, shaped by our personal experiences, biases, fears, and projections.

This course helps you expand your sense-making, and shows you how your deepest purpose can help address both the personal and global dimensions of the metacrisis, recognizing that our greatest challenges are not really taking place “out there” in the world, but “in here” within each of our hearts and minds.

Because within this complex set of challenges lies a rare opportunity for each of us to play a unique role in shaping a better future.
