Desire Literacy Foundations
for Rivers

How Training Works

Welcome Future Rivers and World Changers!

Welcome to the threshold.

​

If you’ve landed here, it’s because you sense that what you are building could be far bigger than a single product, business, or idea.

Desire Literacy is the grammar beneath every human system. Once you understand how it works, you gain the ability to create rivers that reshape industries, culture, and even the way people understand themselves.

​

Some rivers will be small and exquisite.
Some will be vast and world-changing.
Some will generate meaningful impact.
Some will generate extraordinary wealth.

All of them, if done well, will shift the world toward emergence rather than extraction.

This training is your doorway into that possibility.

​

How Training Works

Desire Literacy Foundations is not an academic course. You will be learning an entirely new ontology and a grammar of desire that reshapes how you think, perceive, choose, build, and relate.

​

You can’t learn this the way you’d learn a university subject. Just as no one can learn to drive a car by reading a manual, you cannot learn Desire Literacy through theory alone.

You have to feel how the grammar works in your own life, and you will.

​

​

This training combines:

​

• cognitive understanding

• experiential exercises and practices

• paradox navigation

• metacognitive development 

• real-time application to your own meaning-making

You learn to sense the architecture, not just think about it.
This is the beginning of what every river must master.

​

Why This Matters

If your work becomes a river, you will be carrying a current that can change entire fields.
That requires more than information. It requires alignment, literacy, and the ability to navigate paradox within yourself.

You cannot build with this architecture unless you can live it.
Foundations gives you the first taste of that.

​

​

Group or Private Pathways

​

Not everyone learns the same way. Some people thrive in a group, where the shared field reveals patterns and paradoxes faster.

Others prefer to move through the early stages privately. Especially founders, academics, or public figures who are navigating vulnerable edges in their own desire literacy and don’t want to do that in front of peers.

​

Both pathways teach the same ontology.
Both require you to apply.
Both require pre-signing an NDA and agreement that the foundation-level training is for personal use only.
The difference is simply the container.

​

​

Group Training

​

• More dynamic

• Friction-rich (in a good way)

• Lets you feel the architecture through multiple minds at once

• Excellent for startups and collaborators who want to build together

• Lower cost, higher field-intensity

​

Zoom 5 weeks (5 x weekly group 90min call).  

​

Investment: USD$599

Private Training

Personalised accelerated training 

​

• One-on-one

• Highly tailored

• Ideal for those who want privacy, speed, or a quieter container

• Suitable for high-profile individuals or founders dealing with sensitive material

• Considerably higher investment

• Limited spots available

​

Investment: From USD 12K

​

Option to condense the whole training into 1-2 days. 

You provide the venue and travel in addition to the training fee.  Keep in mind, I am located in Central Victoria, Australia. 

Either option is simply a doorway.
The current remains the same.

​

​

What You Can Expect

By the end of Foundations, you will have:

​

• Felt the grammar of desire operating in your own life

• A clear understanding of the 3 Paradoxes and why they are a universal grammar

• Begun developing the 3rd Flip metacognitive abilities required of every river

• Understood the scale of what this work can do in your field

• Seen the early signs of how Desire Literacy reorganises systems from the inside out

• An understanding of licensing options and how training is integrated should you go on to become a river. 

This is the doorway.

What happens next depends on whether this current resonates with you, and whether you resonate with it.

​

​

Licensing and Commitments

Everyone undertaking this training is exploring whether they will become a river.

For that reason:

• You must apply

• You must sign the NDA and personal-use only agreement before training begins

• Your tuition fee counts toward your future licensing fee (if you continue)

​

This protects the integrity of the method and ensures that anyone who integrates Desire Literacy into their work does so within the licensing structure of Project Dandelion, including royalties and ongoing training.

​

If you decide not to continue, the ontology you learn here remains for personal use only, and you will still leave with a profound upgrade in your own clarity, relationships, and decision-making.

​​

​

How does Licensing work? 

Because Desire Literacy creates real-world impact, licensing is not one-size-fits-all. Rivers are chosen case-by-case.

Each field, each person, each river has different risks, responsibilities, and potentials.

For that reason:

• You apply for Foundations training first

• If accepted, you sign a Pre-Training Personal Use & Non-Disclosure Agreement

• You complete Desire Literacy Foundations

• Then we determine together whether a river is the right path

​

If you continue after Foundations, we will negotiate a licensing arrangement that fits your field.

Upfront fees and royalties vary case-by-case:

• Higher upfront fee → lower royalties

• Lower upfront fee → higher royalties

This allows financially resourced people to invest heavily,
and allows high-potential people with fewer resources to still enter the ecosystem. 

​

If you choose not to continue, everything you learned in training becomes yours for personal use only, and you are not authorised to integrate it professionally.
