Empower Yourself and Transform Your Life, Health & Relationships
I think, if I may say so myself, that this 16-week learning program to master the art of being human—offering a holistic blend of the practical, theoretical and action research—is the most comprehensive course to be found anywhere on the planet for developing the skills of lifelong learning and heart-centred, conscious living.
In great part I say that because it’s rare to see the skill of learning being taught, least of all in the schools.
And then, how to learn and live with skill, intelligence, practical know-how and self-belief… what on Mother’s Earth could be more important skills to learn? Where are these skills being taught?
You will spend 16 weeks—40 hours of live lessons and 40 hours of homework tasks—learning how to do as Gandhi and Robert Pirsig wisely advise. And you will find that you love doing the learning because you’ll be improving and growing yourself in the company of a small group of like-hearted fellow souls all improving and growing themselves too.
This is powerful collaborative learning that will give you an earthquake-proof foundation for the rest of your life. You will grow and evolve together, helping each other stay accountable to yourselves, and by the time the course is over you are easily able to now stay accountable on your own.
I believe Max is only half right: yes we do want change (who doesn’t want a better world for themselves and for our world?), but no, it’s not that we don’t want to change, it’s that we can’t make such change…
… nobody taught us the skills, know-how and self-belief to do it.
That’s what this learning program is all about, change: making change, becoming skilled in making change, and making change exciting and motivating.
It’s what A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION is all about: learning how to be the whole human being that society and schooling suppressed from us all. It is true, self-empowering, life-changing education.
You become the real true you.
If I may say so, again, this will be your greatest ever achievement because it’s an achievement that never stops giving. But it gets even better: your new energy emanates outwards, inspiring others to do the same.
It is in this way that the healing of humankind will unfold.
Dear Friend
Fundamental to being in charge of your own life, health and destiny; having strong healthy relationships with yourself, others, and the whole web of life; and being able to positively shape our own environment and the world, requires you to be skilled in navigating change.
Yet…
School systems and societies the world over ‘educate’ us in such a way that we lack the wherewithal to make any kind of meanginful change to our life, and therefore we subconsciously resist or fear it. It’s why New Year’s resolutions are always over by February 1st. It’s why we keep ourselves stuck in our so-called comfort zone. It’s why we run from cognitive dissonance instead of exploring it.
This is a catastrophe for humankind…
At its core, life is the flow of energy, the flow of energy is movement, and movement is change.
Therefore life IS change.
Did you really want to be fearing and resisting life itself?!
Learn how to do change and you learn how to do life. When change is exciting, so too is life.
Your relationship with change defines your life.
As a rebel educator and engineer of learning I write cutting edge learning materials and create an emotionally supportive, mind-expanding, heart-friendly learning environment that motivates and inspires my adult students into mastering the foundational skills, self-knowledge and self-belief we all need to make good in our life, but which our schooling denied us. After 16 weeks you will:
be in charge of your own life, health and destiny
take life on with curiosity and confidence, purpose and poise, gratitude and gusto
have gained the skills and know-how to make personal development and spiritual self-growth an integral feature of your life; making change, problem-solving, overcoming challenges, being resilient, growing and evolving an exciting aspect of your life
be an active contributor to the healing of humankind and the building of a far saner and more loving world.
This is your reward for taking 16 weeks of time out in your life to become skilled in educating and empowering yourself. Looked at in this context, with a lifetime of ever-evolving benefits, 16 weeks seems like a short time! And, based on pretty much all my past students, you won’t want the course to end.

The rest of this page will outline what you can expect to learn, what the learning experience entails, and what specific benefits you will gain if you become one of the students on this learning program.
First up, though, is a glimpse into what the learning experience will be like, in the words of past students that I’ve trained live and online (we use the Zoom platform for our classroom)
Hope to see you on the program!

Learning with Philip
The following feedback comes from participants on a facilitation skills training program I was asked to create and teach online, in the summer of 2024, to over 250 group leaders of Connecting Consciousness, a worldwide spiritual community of 100,000+ members in dozens of countries. It was a 4-session course, which I taught to groups of 50-100.
All the content in this mini course will be in the Mastering the Art of Being Human program.
A 16-session course limited to just 12 students, you may surmise therefore, will be even more powerful, intimate and transformative…
A Spiritual Revolution
Mastering the Art of Being Human
16 Weeks of Premier Training in Personal Development and Spiritual Self-Growth to Radically Transform your Life, Health and Destiny
Lifelong Learning & Conscious Living Skills
Self-Knowledge · Self-Awareness · Holistic Health
You don’t just learn about personal development, you discuss it, you do it, you reflect on it, you understand it, you become skilled in it.
That means you need to master the learning, communication and self-leadership skills. Which brings me to a truism about human life…
The learning skill is TheMother of all Skills
The communication skill is The Father of all Skills
These parents have multiple siblings!
It is this family of skills that you practise, develop and master during the 80 hours of this learning program, indeed leading you to ‘Mastering the Art of Being Human’.
We have a second truism:
However powerful and uplifting a personal development book may be, one thing it can never do is enable the reader to master the learning, communication and social interaction skills. They can only be practised and developed in a group-learning situation.
So just imagine…
if you do find that powerful and uplifting personal development book…
and you get a transformational teacher teaching his own book…
and you get an intimate group-learning environment…
and you get to master these essential life skills…
then you have the recipe for transforming your life, health and destiny.
That recipe is this learning program.
Made and born as a social creature, the bedrock of our lives is our relationships with others.
The bedrock of successful, long-lasting relationships is mastery of the communication skills.
To master the communication skill you need to master the learning skill, and vice versa.
Where in life do you find LIVE learning programs that enable you to master these two skills?
Just for a minute, imagine how your life will change when you are a skilled learner and communicator.
After 80 hours of constant practice during our time together, your bedrock will be earthquake-proof! During the 16 weeks you will quickly find yourself:
becoming an attentive listener
becoming an articulate communicator
becoming socially confident in all situations
becoming skilled in critical thinking, reading and reflective learning
and growing in self-belief and self-esteem
This is mastering the art and joy of being human!
Definition of Terms
What do we mean by ‘spirituality’ anyway?
Forget about the ‘spirituality’ of New Age and all its fluffy woo-woo stuff, let’s get the real meaning back into spirituality. In short, it’s the inner you living in harmony with the outer world, no longer living in almost perpetual stress and inner conflict. This requires us to live with intelligence, courage and integrity.
Spiritual living is being aligned with your true nature, being connected to the web of life, and cultivating harmonious relationships with others. Spiritual living is living as the real true you, no longer trapped in the societal-suppressed version of ‘you’.
A Spiritual Revolution is a 5-step learning journey of guided self-inquiry to gain the skills, self-knowledge and self-belief you need to become the real true you. This learning journey inspires you to unblock your mind, unlock your heart and unleash your spirit. Now you can live spiritually with optimal health, harmony and happiness.
Menu for A Spiritual Revolution: Health Harmony & Happiness is Philip’s uplifting, self-empowering, life-changing book which navigates you towards self-knowledge of your mind, body and soul, inspiring you onto a lifelong journey of ongoing personal development and spiritual self-growth.
A Spiritual Revolution: Mastering the Art of Being Human is an one of its kind educational offering from Philip Keay, author of the book. Students feel motivated, empowered and inspired by the learning experience, enabling them to become autonomous learners which is the prerequisite for becoming a sovereign human being.
As well as getting all the benefits from the book, you find yourself in a learning environment that has you constantly practising and developing an array of cognitive and communication skills in small group discussions and whole class conversations.
This in turn engenders in you growing self-belief, self-esteem and social confidence, which you take back out into the world and into your relationships.
It is this mix of the essential life skills, self-knowledge and self-belief that marks out this course as unique. You are building the strongest possible foundation for the rest of your life

This course is for all those who desire a better life for themselves and a better world to live in.
It is especially for
With its focus on you practising and becoming skilled in a range of empowering learning, communication and self-leadership skills, this 16-week learning program is especially game-changing for leaders, educators, parents, entrepreneurs, life coaches, world helpers, activists, community builders etc etc who will benefit from mastering the full set of social interaction skills and motivational qualities needed those who lead, teach or influence others.
This 16-week, 80-hour learning program completely transforms the way you experience and engage with life. It stands out from just about all other personal development courses for some key reasons:
your instructor shares the fruits of his own 30 years of self-growth — personally, professionally, psychologically and spiritually
as a rebel educator and engineer of learning he brings you not the answers, but the questions for you to find your own answers
you learn the root causes of all problems and conflict in our human world, how to prevent most of them and solve the rest
‘learning’ is a multi-layered activity of your mind and heart: you learn about crucial knowledge, you learn, learning by doing
you
the instructor is not bringing you the answers, he brings you the questions for you to find your own answers, working in collaboration with your classmates
your instructor
the learning process is a journey of guided self-inquiry, looking into how your own inner world of mind body and soul works, how the multi-layered environment of the whole web of life works,
One huge benefit bears worth mentioning here, though. My students do most of the work in my classrooms. That means they must want to do it, feel motivated to do it, and enjoy doing it with their classmates. I am the guide, the facilitator, the navigator, the learner-enabler.
It means, for all this to work, that the group must be a cohesive community, and that means all members take responsibility for their own learning and for the success of all the group’s members. That’s what I make happen. You will spend 40 hours in such a learning environment, you will see how I create a harmonious group dynamic, and you and all your classmates will be co-creators of this close-knit community.
Now you will know all about building small communities, which is an essential skill in this mad world which needs us all to remember our community roots.
It comes from the way I approach education which means I’m really just a facilitator. I don’t come to you with the answers, I come with the questions for you to find your own answers in
But just for the minute, let me share my reasons for calling this learning program A Spiritual Revolution: Mastering the Art of Being Human.
We are born as intelligent, social creatures. This is our innate human essence, our birthright. The trouble is that our schooling is unintelligent and anti-social, and then we are burdened forevermore until or unless we, in effect, take on a second education to unlearn and undo all the damage done to us before we had any defences to rebel against it.
I offer that second education, and I conceived and built A Spiritual Revolution to be a holistic learning journey for adults who learn how to educate and empower themselves. When you learn to do this, you then pass it all on kind others - to your own children, to your students, or to your fellow adults.
That is the healing of humankind, effected through healing holistic education that builds us up instead of knocking us down.
