If this is you, you are in the right place. I am so happy that we have found each other! 

The revolution is here!

We are ready to be our best and brightest selves to enjoy terrifying aliveness. 

If we haven’t officially met yet, hi it's Laura Alyn here! 

I am a scholar, author, and astrologer. I have spent the last 10+ years researching how people learn, what makes them excited to learn, and why they are inherently creative beings who desire freedom. I did this by:

• Pepperdine University, Psychology BA, Mathematics Minor,

• University of San Diego, Master's in Education: Instruction and Curriculum Design,

• Claremont Graduate University, Doctorate in Philosophy: Education Policy, Reform, Evaluation, and Learning Culture; Religion and Gender Studies Concentration,

• Educator (Public School Teacher & Private Tutor) for 10+ years.

  I have spent my life enjoying every single subject. I love learning a little of everything. As a doctorate student, I focused on the liberal arts, why they’re dying, and how to save them. 

  The world of the subconscious, where our dreams (both the goal-kind and the sleep-kind) live, is the astral realm. By slowing down and allowing my shadow side to come out, I taught myself how to access the astral realm in the conscious state. There, I am an explorer, a creator, and a historian. I have been deep in this realm for the last 3 years, though there, it feels a lot longer!

  I have learned so much! You can listen to my documentation of it on my first ever podcast Grounded Spirits. You can read the beginning of the journey, told as though it were fiction, in my book, Monterai: Passage through Water. I also wrote guided journals to help others navigate this realm. 

  Now, I am ready to introduce a program that combines these two worlds (a.k.a. our inner and outer selves) to make us all revolutionaries, masterminds, and alchemists. The CYA Course is the program! Keep reading!!

  So, if you feel like your mind, body, and spirit are constantly at battle, you are hesitant in pursuing other passions, and/or your freedom needs aren’t being fulfilled, please keep reading, you may have just found where you belong. ✨

In the ancient world, people learned for the sake of learning. Curiosity led the way; rather than acquiring skills for a job. The discoveries made in this time set the foundation for everything we know today. But what do we, on an individual level, really know today? We have become so specialized that we don't understand other fields/industries; much less other perspectives.

The CYA Course creates the structure for you to take your specialty and expand upon it. How? By experimenting with the liberal arts and astrology to reactivate that passion to learn like we had when we were kids. Astrology gives us that structure to go deep inside (microcosm), while the Liberal Arts (humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, fine arts, and formal sciences) provides the structure for reaching the ends of the universe (macrocosm).

No matter what industry you are coming from you will see it in a new way. You will be able to take your lens of the world and shift it drastically to be able to turn that full potential within yourself into boundless power, while redefining true freedom, and creating a reality where imagination becomes tangible and miracles are the currency of existence. It is possible.

Imagine discovering something new every day, whether it be about yourself or another, you feel connected in a new unforeseen way. We don't know what we don't know, right? But then being able to use that passion to create a life beyond your wildest dreams.

Imagine learning about something new that connects you closer to your inner child. By nurturing your inner child, you feel a terrifying aliveness that pushes you into your highest timeline. Yes, it's scary but you have your higher self, supporting you and connecting you to a community that makes you feel safe.

Imagine being able to connect with friends, loved ones, clients, and others because you now know a little bit more about their perspective or industry. These relationships will only get stronger and cultivate more growth within you; all leading to a life of ultimate fulfillment. Plus, everyone is a reflection of you and your relationship with God (Spirit/Universe) so by connecting to others, you are connecting deeper to yourself and the divine.
