There Are Depths That Open in Shared Presence.

Accelerated Awakening is an immersive field where presence is amplified through shared attention. When awareness is held together, something subtle shifts — perception deepens, emotional range widens, and experience becomes more alive.

Here, what is usually sensed only in fleeting moments begins to stabilise. The heart opens without effort. Insight moves beyond understanding and into lived reality.

What unfolds in this space is not something you strive for or achieve. It emerges naturally, as layers soften and a deeper coherence takes shape — within you, and between you.

“When the rain pours from the heavens, if a thimble is all you hold up, a thimble is all you receive.”

There is a paradox many people recognise, even if they’ve never named it.

Just as life begins to open — in love, creativity, intimacy, or ease — something subtly tightens. A contraction appears. Attention shifts. The moment passes.

It can show up in relationships, where closeness suddenly feels like too much.

In prosperity, where flow arrives and just as quietly recedes.

Or in joy itself, where aliveness is touched and then quickly left behind.

This isn’t failure. And it isn’t pathology.

It’s a question of capacity.

The Rain Is Already Falling

Love, connection, vitality, and intelligence are not scarce. They’re not rewards to be earned. They are more like rain — constantly available, arriving whether we notice or not.

What varies is not the rain, but what we hold up to receive it.

If a thimble is all that’s available, then a thimble is all that can be held — no matter how abundant the downpour. And when experience begins to exceed that capacity, something instinctive happens: we pull back, distract, harden, or shield ourselves.

Most people don’t even realise they’re holding a container at all.

Many learn instead to carry umbrellas — subtle ways of staying defended, busy, stimulated, or self-improving — while the rain continues to fall around them.

Accelerated Awakening is not about calling in more rain.

It’s about expanding what you’re able to receive.

This Is Not About the Past

You don’t expand capacity by analysing your history or endlessly working on what went wrong.

Capacity grows through direct experience — through moments where presence deepens, sensation becomes tolerable, subtlety is allowed, and aliveness is met rather than managed.

Most approaches stop at understanding.

But understanding alone doesn’t widen the vessel.

Without expanding your ability to stay open, even the most profound insights eventually slip through your fingers.

What Happens at Accelerated Awakening

At Accelerated Awakening, the focus is not on fixing or improving the self.

Instead, we work in an amplified field of shared attention — a space where awareness naturally deepens, and receptivity expands without force.

As others open, something in you recognises what’s possible.

As presence stabilises in the room, your own system learns how to stay.

As subtle states become shared, they stop feeling fragile or fleeting.

Over time, the thimble becomes a bucket.

And then something wider still.

What people often discover here is not a new identity, but a new range — a greater ability to remain intimate with life as it moves, loves, challenges, and reveals itself.

Not because they tried harder.

But because they finally stopped turning away.

What Makes This Experience So Transformational?

Beyond Therapy, Coaching, and Personal Development—Step Into the Next Level

You’ve done the work. You’ve explored therapy, coaching, and countless personal development methods. You’ve had breakthroughs, yet something still feels incomplete—like there’s a depth you haven’t quite reached, a space you haven’t yet stepped into.

That’s because some things can’t be met in isolation. Accelerated Awakening is not another mindset workshop, not another self-help retreat. This is a living, breathing, collective field of transformation—a place where healing happens through you, with you, and beyond you. In this space, you don’t just process emotions; you experience deep, embodied transmformation in real-time, amplified by the power of the group.

Where traditional methods stop, this work begins. Here, you go beyond talking about transformation—you live it, breathe it, and become it.

You’re Not Broken—You’re Ready for More

Awakening isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you. It’s about unlocking what’s already inside you. You are not here because you’re lost—you’re here because you’re ready. Ready to step into your full emotional range, ready to expand beyond old limitations, ready to embody the most powerful, expressed version of yourself.

At Accelerated Awakening, we don’t see healing as a process of fixing—we see it as liberation. This experience isn’t about endlessly processing wounds; it’s about reclaiming the parts of you that have been waiting to be set free. In this space, every emotion is welcome, every part of you belongs, and you are met exactly where you are—with nothing to prove and nothing to fix.

You’ve done the inner work. Now, it’s time to step into the next level of your expansion.

Healing Happens in Connection, Not Isolation

You weren’t meant to do this alone. Most healing doesn’t happen in solitude—it happens in relationships. It happens in the spaces where you feel deeply seen, where your emotions are met with presence, where your truth is welcomed without judgment.

At Accelerated Awakening you will experience connection in a way that rewires you at the deepest level. Imagine feeling more seen, known, and understood in one week than in years of personal growth work. Imagine stepping into a space where you don’t have to hide, where you don’t have to hold it all together—where you can simply be, and be held.

This is not just a retreat. This is a return to belonging.

The Depth of a Plant Medicine Journey—Without Substances

What if you could access the profound states of expansion, release, and awakening that people seek in plant medicine ceremonies—without taking anything? What if the breakthrough, the clarity, the deep emotional release you’ve been craving could happen naturally, through the power of the group field?

At Accelerated Awakening, we create a space where your body, mind, and heart open organically. The energy of the group acts as an amplifier, allowing you to drop into altered states of awareness, unlock deep emotions, and expand into something far greater than yourself—without substances.

This isn’t just an experience. It’s a natural portal to deeper truth, connection, and embodiment.

Where Leaders Go to Expand Their Capacity to Hold Space

Anyone can learn techniques. But the world’s most impactful leaders don’t just share information—they transmit a deeper frequency of presence, mastery, and embodied transformation.

If you’re a coach, therapist, facilitator, or leader, Accelerated Awakening is not just another training—it’s a full-bodied immersion into a new way of holding space. You won’t just learn how to facilitate; you’ll experience firsthand the power of a high-coherence field and what it means to anchor transformation in your own being.

Great leaders don’t just guide others through change—they become the change. This is where you step into that level of mastery.

Is This For You?

Accelerated Awakening is a precise and demanding environment.

Working in an amplified field doesn’t only open what is subtle and beautiful — it also brings unconscious patterns, identities, and defences into view. This work requires a willingness to be met honestly, reflected clearly, and challenged where necessary.

This is a guided, led experience. It is not a democracy, a support group, or a space organised around ideological safety. By entering, you are consenting to direct feedback, strong leadership, and moments of confrontation in service of truth and integration.

Please read the following carefully.

This Is For You If…

You are willing to be led, challenged, and reflected by a strong, grounded masculine presence
You value truth over comfort, and depth over ideological alignment
You have done substantial inner work and are ready to meet what still operates beneath self-concept
You are open to both unity-based and polarity-based teachings, without needing reality to conform to a single framework
You can hold complexity — allowing multiple truths to coexist without collapsing into victimhood or righteousness
You welcome clear feedback, even when it disrupts familiar narratives

This Is Not For You If…

You are seeking a space that centres consensus, ideological agreement, or identity validation
You feel easily destabilised by masculine authority, polarity-based work, or being directly challenged
You need your beliefs, language, or worldview to be affirmed rather than questioned
You are looking for a therapeutic, trauma-managed, or emotionally protective environment
You are primarily interested in advocacy, ideological positioning, or social correction rather than inner confrontation

A Note on Structure and Values

This work includes distinct spaces for men and women, and honours the different nervous system dynamics that emerge in those contexts. We do not centre pronoun-sharing or identity discourse, and we do not orient around contemporary political or cultural frameworks.

Participants are expected to meet this work as it is — not to reshape it.

If this feels activating, uncomfortable, or incompatible with your current orientation, we encourage you to honour that and seek a different space.

What Others
Have Experienced

“I spent years in therapy, working through my childhood wounds and past trauma. But no matter how much work I did, I kept sabotaging my success, pushing love away, and feeling stuck. At Accelerated Awakenning, something shifted. For the first time, I felt what it was like to hold joy, intimacy, and abundance without running from it. My life hasn’t been the same since.”

- Emily T, USA

"I’ve done a lot of personal development, but nothing has worked like this. This wasn’t just another retreat—it was an activation into a new way of living. My business has grown, my relationships are deeper, and I feel more connected to myself than ever."

- Mathias, Sweden

"This work is what life is all about! Be in your truth and your joy! I've finally found the family I’ve always wanted to have and I’m so grateful to have found home."

- Mandana, New Zealand

“After Accelerated Awakening, my relationship completely transformed. I never realized how much I was blocking love until I experienced what it felt like to truly receive without fear. I finally feel worthy of the life I want.”

- David R, United Kingdom

Start Your New Life.

There comes a moment when you know—something has to change. You’ve done the inner work. You’ve searched for answers. You’ve felt the pull toward something deeper, something more. A way of living that is freer, more alive, more connected.

This is that moment. This is your invitation. Accelerated Awakening isn’t just an event—it’s a homecoming to yourself. A place where you will be met fully, held deeply, and called into your highest expression. A space where old patterns break, where wounds that once held you back transform into power, and where you finally step into the life you’ve always known was possible.

If you’re here, reading this, your heart already knows.

The question is—will you listen?

I invite you to take this step, not just for yourself, but for the life that is waiting for you on the other side. A life of more love, more freedom, more wholeness.

Our Integrity Commitment

We stand behind the depth and seriousness of this work.

Accelerated Awakening is a demanding, immersive experience. When entered fully, it has the capacity to fundamentally shift how you meet yourself, others, and life. That said, we also recognise that discernment sometimes only becomes clear through direct experience.

If you participate fully in the retreat and, by the end, feel that this work was not aligned for you at this time, we invite you to speak with a member of the team before departing.

Where it’s clear that the work was genuinely engaged and not a fit, we will release you from the financial commitment to the retreat tuition.

Accommodation and food costs are not refundable, as these are incurred on your behalf.

We offer this not as a promise of outcome, but as an expression of integrity and trust in the work — and in your capacity to know what is true for you.

Hi! I'm Christian,

FOUNDER OF HEART IQ AND I'LL BE GUIDING THIS WORK

My focus is not self-improvement or therapy, but the cultivation of depth — in presence, relationship, and lived truth. For over a decade, I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and groups to explore what becomes possible when attention is shared, defences soften, and consciousness is met directly.

The Heart iQ work emerged through lived experience and long-term study, integrating Eastern and Western wisdom traditions with modern understanding of group dynamics, intimacy, and embodiment. At its core is Heart iQ Circle Work — a precise and demanding practice that uses the group field to accelerate insight, integration, and capacity.

This work is not gentle by default, nor is it designed to confirm existing narratives. It is guided, confrontive when necessary, and oriented toward what is real rather than what is comfortable.

I hold these spaces with care, clarity, and strong leadership — not to provide answers, but to create the conditions where truth can be encountered and embodied.

If you’re here, you’re not looking for reassurance.

You’re ready to meet something deeper.

"Christian Pankhurst is a profound source of wisdom and depth."

NEALE DONALD WALSH (2003), NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD

How This Work is Held

This work is held by more than one person.

While I serve as the primary guide, Accelerated Awakening is supported by a carefully selected team of experienced facilitators and space-holders.

Each gathering is resourced according to its location and the specific needs of the group.

Team members are chosen for their capacity to hold depth, regulate intensity, and support the integrity of the field — not for visibility or personality.

You won’t need to manage or track who is doing what.

The work is designed so you can fully enter the experience, knowing the container is well held.

Hear From Those Who’ve Experienced It

Watch as past participants share how Accelerated Awakening has transformed their lives—deep healing, profound breakthroughs, and a sense of belonging like never before.

More Participant Experiences

"Eye-opening is the best way to describe this retreat. I was confronted with difficult truths and shadow aspects of myself, yet in the safety of the field, I was able to face them, move through them, and step into liberation. The experience was deeply transformative, and I’m leaving with so much to carry forward into my life."

Anselm Achberger

"Every Heart iQ retreat leaves me with a full heart and a renewed sense of possibility. It has expanded my capacity to feel, express, and connect more deeply than anything else in my life. The experience is nothing short of magical, and Christian and the team are masterful facilitators who hold the space with unwavering presence."

Sasha Langesfeld

"Experiencing Heart IQ Circle Work was nothing short of profound. It felt like stepping into an ancient way of healing—where deep listening, attuned touch, movement, and raw expression replaced the numbing and suppression of modern life. In this masterfully held space, I confronted and embraced parts of myself I had long rejected, receiving imprints of compassion that redefined how I want to live. Witnessing others in their liberation became my own. This wasn’t just personal healing—it was a portal for collective awakening."

Karmen Kovic

“One of the biggest gifts I received from my time with Christian was learning to trust my body as a guide for authentic connection. A simple yet powerful exercise on co-regulation helped me realize that my attempts to connect with my partner through words weren’t enough—what she needed was presence, attuned physical touch, and deep listening beyond words. That night, I simply held her, and like magic, we refound our connection. Since then, this practice has transformed how we relate—bringing more depth, presence, and ease into our relationship. I’m deeply grateful for this unexpected yet life-changing gift."

Chris Brawer

Where The Magic Happens.

Each Accelerated Awakening gathering takes place in a secluded, purpose-built environment designed to support depth, focus, and privacy.

The Netherlands retreat is held at New Eden, a private retreat centre in the Frisian countryside, created specifically for immersive group work.

The United States retreat takes place at The Hideaway in Colorado Springs — a private retreat centre in the foothills that supports extended periods of presence, reflection, and collective practice.

Both locations are chosen not for spectacle, but for their capacity to hold intensity, stillness, and uninterrupted attention. You won’t be navigating a hotel, a public venue, or external distractions.

The environment exists in service of the work.

A First Encounter With Heart iQ

Accelerated Awakening is not designed as an introduction.

For those who feel drawn to this work but sense that a seven-day, invitation-only immersion is not the right entry point, Heart iQ Foundations offers a grounded way to begin.

Heart iQ Foundations is a 90-day initiation into the core principles and practices of the work. It unfolds online through guided transmissions, live group sessions, and a series of virtual retreats that introduce Circle Work, shared presence, relational depth, and embodied leadership.

As part of the journey, participants are also invited into a live 3 day Heart iQ Experience — an in-person gathering where the field can be felt directly. These take place in both Europe and the United States and are included within the programme.

Heart iQ Foundations is offered through a contribution-based model, allowing participants to meet the work with integrity while honouring their current capacity.

For many, this is where the relationship with Heart iQ begins — not as a lesser experience, but as a coherent initiation that lets discernment unfold naturally over time.

If this feels like the right place to start, you’re welcome to explore Heart iQ Foundations further.
