Find yourself. Meet life from there.
A MOVEMENT OF SELF-RELATIONSHIP PRACTICE FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
Learning to remain in relationship with ourselves as we participate in life.
We can know ourselves pretty well when nothing is asking much of us. It gets harder when someone disagrees, plans change, a decision needs to be made, something we care about feels uncertain, or life simply doesn't go the way we expected.
Self-relationship is what happens in those moments.

Can I still find what I feel, know, want, or prefer? Can someone else's experience enter without mine disappearing? Can I be affected without losing myself? Can I let what I find participate in what happens next?
Beyond Orion is a place to practice that—as you're living life.
So how do we practice it?
Well, there isn't a specific thing to master or one right place to begin.
Sometimes the practice is simply finding yourself before you respond. Sometimes it's staying with what you find when someone else enters the picture. Other times it's noticing what happens when there's difference, when you need to express something, when you're in relationship, or when it's time to participate.
This Beyond Orion practice gives us a way to work with all of those moments.
We practice through different capacities of self-relationship, while also paying attention to something very ordinary: Where am I in relation to myself, the other person, and what's happening between us?
That's what the map below holds.
What does this look like in real life?
It might be noticing that you were completely sure about a decision until someone questioned it.
Realizing you're explaining yourself before you've even figured out what you think.
Feeling yourself agree to something while another part of you is saying no.
Knowing you're upset, but not yet knowing what actually happened.
Wanting something—and noticing how quickly that preference disappears when someone else wants something different.
Or simply catching the moment when you realize: Oh. I left myself somewhere back there.
That's practice.
Noticing it is practice. Finding yourself again is practice. Staying with what you find a little longer is practice. Trying something different and seeing what happens is practice.
Practice with Beyond Orion
However you want to engage, you're welcome here. Look around, make contact, stay for a while, take what interests you, step away and do your own thing, or come collaborate more closely. There's no particular way you need to participate.
Practice together.
Monthly Self-Relationship Practice. Each month, we begin somewhere different—LOCATE, REMAIN, and the other places where relationship with ourselves becomes visible in everyday life.
Bring your own life.
Private sessions for working with something that's happening in your life right now, using the same practice without needing to know where it will lead. For transitions or situations that need more ongoing support, consider a Monthly Retainer.
Practice informally.
Field Questions (as part of my YouTube Channel), newsletters, videos and free practice circles give you places to experiment, notice what happens, and take the practice into your own life. They're all complimentary. Come play.
The person holding the practice
I'm Anca. Beyond Orion has been the place where I’ve explored consciousness, energy, embodiment and what it means to actually live what we come to know about ourselves.
Much of what I teach has come through years of working with people individually, but just as much has come through living it myself. I pay attention. I experiment. I notice what happens in the body, in relationship, in ordinary life—and I stay with questions for a very long time.
I don't hold this practice from a place of having mastered self-relationship. I'm in the practice too. What I do have is a particular ability to notice where something gets lost in translation, to stay with someone there, and to help make the abstract tangible enough that we can work with it.
Beyond Orion grew out of that way of working. A place where we can do more than talk about these things—where we can practice them, live with them, question them, play with them, and stay curious long enough to find out what they actually become in us.
