The Bootcamp
12 weeks. 5 days a week. 3 sessions per day.
Cohort 10: September 21 – December 12, 2026.
A short intro to the bootcamp.
This Is For You If...
You've Had Genuine Insight
Something cracked open — in retreat, in a session, on a cushion, or somewhere else entirely. You've seen something real. But your daily life still runs on the old operating system. The gap between what you've seen and how you actually live is the problem CC is built to close.
Hitting an Integration Ceiling
Your meditation insights aren't translating to daily life. You've hit a plateau despite consistent practice. The gap between cushion and world won't close on its own.
Stable Life, Incomplete Practice
You have career, relationships, and finances handled. But your practice feels compartmentalized. Spiritual over here, regular life over there.
Seeking Structure, Not Techniques
You don't need another app, book, or method. You need systematic deconstruction, daily community feedback, and a teacher who knows your patterns.
Not for you if...
—You haven't had a genuine breakthrough yet — the bootcamp doesn't produce first insights, it trains what comes after
—You're looking for your first breakthrough — you're still in the seeking phase, and that's a different kind of training
—You're seeking pleasant states or quick breakthroughs — CC goes deeper, and that's not always comfortable
—You're in acute crisis or need life stabilization first — intensive practice requires a stable container
—You're looking for career guidance or life purpose — that's important work, but it's not what we do here
—You can't commit to 12 weeks of daily practice — this is intensive by design, and we won't water it down
Modern Mind Training Has a Systemic Problem
“Am I doing this right? Why don't the effects stick? What am I actually missing?”
And it's not your fault.
Access to quality materials does not mean access to qualified teachers and communities. The problem isn't your effort — it's the missing structure around it.
Years Stuck
Countless hours of practice with little progress. You know there's something missing, but can't figure out what.
Dark Nights
Challenging experiences with no guidance. You're navigating difficult territory alone, uncertain if you're on the right path.
Confusion & Contradictions
Too many teachers saying different things, leaving you more confused than when you started.
Isolation
Practicing alone without community support. No one to share experiences with, no one to help when you get stuck.
“Classically, qualified teachers would be working in close proximity with qualified students. These three aspects must form a cohesive system.”
A Complete Path with Qualified Teachers
What was traditionally available only through intensive in-person training — now accessible online through our systematic 90-day program.
Direct Guidance
Real-time personalized instruction from an experienced teacher who can guide you through challenges.
Personalized Instruction
Tailored guidance based on your unique karma, lifestyle, and needs.
Systematic Path
Complete, sequential progression from foundation to realization.
Noble Community
Sincere co-practitioners who support you through the journey.
A Living Lineage, Not a Coaching Program
Led by a transmission holder with a team of mentors who train daily under him. This isn't individual consultants offering personal perspectives — it's a structured lineage with a realized teacher at the center.
The Four Pillars of Transformation
Our comprehensive approach addresses every aspect of the path.
Absorption
Skills to enter and abide in samadhi
Training in form and formless jhanas with personalized instructions that work for you. Develop reliable access to meditative states through transmission-based practice.
Purification
Skills to re-pattern habits and afflictions
Work with karmic tendencies and transform afflictions into wisdom. Practical lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, and shadow work.
View Refinement
Developing insight through cognitive clarity
Break through false illusions and understand emptiness correctly. Move beyond low-resolution thinking through philosophical training.
Companionship
Noble community of sincere practitioners
Build connections with co-practitioners who support you through challenges and celebrate your triumphs. Create our digital School of Athens together.
What 12 Weeks Actually Looks Like
A structured path from building capacity to living transformation.
Stabilization
Daily practice. Meditation. You build capacity and notice your patterns in real time. Your mentor is watching how your mind moves.
Your mentor notices you dissociate every time anger arises. That becomes your edge.
Deconstruction
Direct pointing. We show you exactly how you construct reality. The narratives, the somatic habits, the emotional patterns.
In a session with the transmission holder, you see directly — not conceptually — how you've been constructing a self that doesn't exist.
Integration
You live it. Daily life becomes your practice. The compartmentalization between your spiritual life and your actual life collapses.
Your wife notices you're different. Your co-workers notice. Not because you're performing growth — because the structure has changed.
Personalized Attention by Design
We intentionally stay small so every practitioner gets the attention they deserve. Real transformation requires real relationships.

Next Cohort
Cohort 10
September 21 – December 12, 2026
90 minutes daily, Monday through Friday. Three Eastern session times — pick the one that fits. Recordings cover the rest.
Or defer to the following cohort
Date TBD
If fall isn’t your timing, apply now and secure your slot for the next cohort. Some members come in this way to make their commitment firm ahead of time.
Spots are limited. There’s a reason we don’t take hundreds of people in — we’re keeping the sanctity of the space.
What’s in the deal
Four components, one container
Direct transmission isn’t something we want to put a price tag on. The structure that holds it — we can name what that’s worth.
180 Live Training Sessions
Monday–Friday, three times daily. New transmission for every session — not recordings on rotation. The model that cuts straight to self-emptiness, repeated until it lands.
180 Live Reflection Sessions
Held immediately after each training, with the people who just sat with you. Same-day pointing-out, not six-months-later processing.
Many-on-One Mentoring
Receive full support from a network of senior practitioners through every stage of deconstruction and integration.
Direct Transmission from Meicheng
100,000 prostrations is the traditional deal in many lineages to receive something like this. Daily. Online. For ninety days.

On the money
The money is an interesting thing. It’s our version of commitment.
If you’re rallying only on the basis of getting in — without sorting out how you’re going to pay for it, how you’re going to keep showing up for the world while you do this work — the practice becomes another version of avoidance. We’ve seen it. The price isn’t a barrier. It’s a mirror.
Before you apply
We’ll tell you no when no is the right answer
Application is ten written questions and a 10-minute self-introduction video. The team takes about two weeks to assess fit on both sides. Not everyone gets in — not because they’re not ready for practice, but because they’re not ready for this container.
If we don’t see fit, we’ll tell you what we’re seeing and point you at what might serve you better — a structured retreat, more time with your current teacher, checking back in six months. Fit matters more than enrollment.
Real Transformations from Real People
John
“It locked in the Realization... it gave me a physical visceral understanding. Before, maybe I thought Anatta was something more conceptual. What we're talking about is the one that's undoing, stretching my mind, opening my horizons.”
Tom
“A shell fell off me... It wasn't just like I'm imagining that happening. It was like an actual something left me, fell off. My relationship, my life was cleaning up, I was maturing — that wasn't a goal. But it never happened at that kind of pace before.”
Ryan
“Once I made that clear commitment, it was later that night that I had this stream entry moment... Before that it felt like poking around in the dark, now it finally feels like I can train properly.”
Tyson
“Realization fitness is like a transformation of your relationship to resistance. I was fully cooking myself every way that I could. I was letting go of my identity and even my physical training... and that was like a really core one.”
Kristen
“The amplification of your efforts being in this group is unbelievable. People here are full of integrity — they want progress for themselves, but they want it for each other.”
Ryan
“I felt like I was completely lost and spinning — but I didn't even know it. A lot of my path was built on ignoring and feeling safe. CC was a course correction. I'd rather be aware that I'm lost than think I know what's going on.”
James
“The support is 24/7 — not like other courses where you get help on one scheduled day. You're going to get looked after. No man left behind. Everyone's just trying to work it all out together.”
Adrian
“There was something cryptic, something mysterious beyond the form. What drew me in was the culture of being yourself — welcoming all sides, including the parts I'd cast away.”
Common Questions
The question to ask isn't how long you've practiced — it's whether you've had genuine insight that hasn't transferred to your daily life. People arrive at that point through formal sitting practice, intensive retreat, non-duality work, and other paths. What matters is where you are, not how you got there. If you're unsure whether you're ready, book a free 30-minute call and we'll tell you honestly.
You commit to one session per day, 5 days per week. Sessions range from 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the time slot. There are also weekly community sessions on Saturdays. The 90-day commitment is intensive but designed to fit into modern life.
Yes. The commitment is one session per day, five days a week — but plenty of practitioners sit twice, occasionally three times. Use whichever combination works for your schedule and energy. We'd rather you fully commit to one session than half-show to three.
Conflicts come up. Past cohort members have worked through silent retreats already on the calendar, the birth of a child, and family emergencies. The commitment is serious, but we work with you. Typically that means you keep up your own sitting during the gap and rejoin the live sessions when you're able. Let us know what's coming so we can plan together.
Therapy works with your wounds. Coaching works with your goals. CC works with your capacity to see. We're not healing the past or optimizing performance — we're deconstructing the structure of how you experience reality itself.
Practitioners report: reliable absorption skills, transformed relationships with emotions, clearer understanding of emptiness, deeper community connections, and progress toward self-emptiness realization. The transformation is reliably magical when you put in the work.
Someone who has completed the path and can point directly to what's true. Mei Cheng holds the lineage and leads the deepest work. The mentors train under him. This isn't a coaching program — it's a structured lineage with a realized teacher at the center.
CC is culturally independent while drawing from multiple lineages (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Dzogchen). We focus on universal principles of mind training that work regardless of cultural background.
Yes. Sessions are conducted via Zoom. With three daily session times, there's a slot that works for most time zones.
The bootcamp complements existing teacher relationships by providing daily community practice and feedback loops that monthly sessions can't offer. Many participants continue working with their primary teachers. That said, if you're already receiving intensive daily guidance from another teacher, the bootcamp may be redundant — we'd rather you invest your time where it creates the most value.
CC practitioners arrive through many doors — formal retreat, psychedelics, non-duality work, somatic practice, contemplation. The entry requirement isn't a specific path, it's a specific state: you've had genuine insight, and it hasn't transferred to daily life. If that's where you are, book a call and we'll assess fit together.
We'll tell you directly. Not everyone is ready. If you're not there yet, we'll point you toward what might serve you better — a structured retreat, more daily practice, or checking in again in 6-12 months. The practitioners who wait for the right timing often have the best outcomes.
Yes. We run a Public Practice Week roughly once a quarter — five days of free live training in the same format as the bootcamp. The most recent one is available on demand; drop your email at /ppw to get the recordings.
Many practitioners join multiple consecutive cohorts to deepen their practice. You'll have lifetime access to materials and can stay connected with the community.
We offer payment plans for committed participants who need timing flexibility. Apply and discuss your situation with our team — we want to make this accessible to serious practitioners.
The Solo Path Has a Ceiling.
