Feeling
This video addresses some of the common questions about this aspect of the Holy Trinity of Improv, such as…
What do you mean by “Feel deeply”
Do I have to do a “deep dive” into my feelings to do this practice?
Do I need to be able to articulate my feelings in words?
Is this like other somatic practices like yoga, martial arts, hakomi, tapping?
Playing
This video will show you how you can begin engaging the piano to express your experience holistically, including your intuitive and analytical sides. You don’t need any piano or musical training or background for this. And you won’t need to know (and we won’t be dealing with) chords, scales, or even note names.

The Bridge of Possibility
A short questionnaire to help you to get clearer about where you are and what are most wanting from this work.
What have clients said about this work?
Hi and thanks for coming here to see what this work is about. I know this sounds like overly grandiose hype, so I put this kit together to connect some dots and lay out why I think this approach to personal and social transformation is as powerful as it is and why it has so much potential.
After years of struggling to convey the depths and delights of this work, I'm excited to finally be making all this easily accessible so you can explore it for free and see if it resonates.
Now, you can get answers to more of your questions about this unusual modality, why I designed the way I did, and whether it feels like something you'd like to go into more depth with.
I published this Starter Kit in September of 2025 and I trust it will evolve from here (as may we all!).
Enjoy with curiosity, and many blessings onward,
Daniel
