General Questions
Innercraft is an in-depth meditation and inner exploration platform. By in-depth, we mean that we provide teachings aimed to help you uncover profound insights about the nature of your consciousness, as opposed to basic mindfulness meditation, which is popular in the West as a method for stress reduction, anxiety relief, and better sleep, among others.
Innercraft will provide access to meditation and inner exploration teachings that represent different traditions and methods so that you can experiment and dive deep into the ones that resonate with you the most. Within each tradition, you will be able to learn and practice through video courses and get guidance and on-demand live training from teachers who have been carefully selected. Each teacher will offer:
- Video courses
- Live Workshops and Q&As
- One-on-one sessions
- Online retreats
Through our Membership subscription, you will have access to unlimited video courses from teachers. You will also get free access to monthly Live Workshops and Q&As hosted by each teacher to help you deepen and advance your practice. In addition to the above, teachers will offer for-fee services, including one-on-one sessions, workshops, and online retreats to provide guidance and training opportunities. Only members will have access to these services.
- We provide in-depth teachings that can get you beyond basic mindfulness all the way to profound insights about the nature of your consciousness
- We represent diverse traditions and methods so that you can experiment and select the ones that resonate with you
- We are not a guided meditation app. We use video courses to provide a more comprehensive and efficient way of learning and practicing. Each course has both theory and practice elements so that you understand the subtleties and whys behind each technique, making your practice more intentional and robust
- Each course within each tradition builds upon the previous one to provide a progressive approach to deepen your practice
- We carefully selected teachers who have rigorous training in their fields as well as extensive practice and teaching experience. We encourage you to check their profiles and watch their biography videos to get a sense of what we are trying to convey
- We are a “one-stop-shop” to explore the nature of your consciousness. Start by learning and practicing with video courses, deepen your journey via workshops and retreats, and get more personal guidance through one-on-one sessions
Innercraft teachers have been carefully selected to ensure that:
- They have engaged in meditation practice and inner exploration for many years and shaped their lives around the journey of exploring their true nature and awakening
- They have extensive and rigorous training with teachers from well-regarded and time-tested traditions and/or methods and lifelong personal daily practice
- They have rich teaching experience and have developed teaching frameworks that have been tremendously helpful for their students. You can read more about each teacher here
We understand that it might be overwhelming to navigate many resources available at Innercraft during your first two weeks on the platform. To help you get the most rewarding experience out of it, we have created recommendations to get you started based on both customer feedback and teacher suggestions.
- We recommend starting with teachers’ intro videos and learn more about their path, tradition/method, and teaching approach. This should give you an initial sense of who might be a good fit for you based on your interests and personality.
- Even though you might not see fit with a teacher, we still suggest completing a few initial lessons of their video courses and experimenting with at least one practice. Sometimes the practices or teaching styles that we avoid or dismiss the most are the ones holding the deepest transformative potential.
- We also want to emphasize that it takes some time and consistent effort to see the benefits of a practice, so please have patience and practice diligently for at least a month before deciding to give up on the practice.
- In addition, we have conducted three podcast episodes (#1, #2 and #3) with our teachers in which we covered topics of teacher, tradition/method, and practice selection. Please listen to them to get guidance on how to navigate teachers and practices
Innercraft is available for everyone in the world with an internet connection. As of now, our content is only available in English, but in the future, we will work towards expanding it to other languages.
Our teachers are working on new video courses that will build upon and complement existing courses to allow you to deepen and advance your practice. You can learn more about the upcoming video courses here.
In addition, we are working to bring more contemplative and wisdom traditions to the platform. In near future, you can expect video courses and live training events from new teachers who represent a variety of traditions, adding to the diversity of the ones who are currently present on Innercraft.
Video Courses
As a result of rigorous training in contemplative traditions and insights gained through their own experience, our teachers have developed teaching frameworks that have great potential to benefit practitioners. These teachings have been created in a systematic, structured, and comprehensive manner and have been broken down into a series of video courses built upon each other. Subtleties and whys are provided to make your practice more intentional and robust.
Each video course is designed by the teacher, has both theory and practice elements with emphasis on the latter, and includes extensive pre-recorded video content, meditation instructions and demonstrations, and meditation and inner exploration assignments and practices for you to practice on your own. The video courses can be viewed at any time, and they can be paused, fast-forwarded, and re-watched as many times as you would like.
Each course consists of 2-5 hours of video content which is split up into individual lesson videos (5-30 min long) that you can watch and re-watch at any time. In addition to the lesson videos, each course has meditation and inner exploration practices for you to explore on your own. You can take the video course at your own pace.
You can complete each video course at your own pace. You have unlimited access to every video course as long as your Membership is still active.
You can view classes on any internet-enabled device, on any modern browser.
At the moment, video courses and lessons are not available to download from the web
