About Us

Welcome!

The Conscious Living Institute of Central Oklahoma (CLIcO) has been conceived by its founding members as a vehicle to pay forward all the blessings we have received in this lifetime.

We are (currently):

Richard S. Auer, CMT, LMT

Dr. Dara Fogel, Ph.D.

We are fairly easy-going people who love to dance and sing and play and have fun, eat good healthy food and generally enjoy all the bountiful goodness that life has to offer. It is also true that each of us have had distinct experiences throughout our lives which have clearly intimated to us something about the deeper nature of reality and the purposes of life, the universe and everything. (42!)

Experiences to which we collectively refer to as the Awakening.

These experiences have shaped our sense of purpose and presence into a form of expression which seeks to honor the promise, potential and possibility of the Human species on this amazing and wonderful planet Earth.

What we have noticed is that “Something Big” is going on here, and that something, while it may be beyond our collective capacity to recognize it’s full scope and nature, certainly involves the evolution of consciousness within the Human/Gaian matrix.

Everything that has come before us seems to be headed toward some kind of “final judgement”, an ontological recapitulation of both individual and global scale, necessitated by the rushing waters of the non-sustainable apocalyptic memeplex of history. Our inheritance has led us to a place of incomprehensibility, from which our very survival hinges upon our capacity and willingness to release old forms and shift into a truly new way of being. As we become more influential in our own epi-genome, a beautiful mutation is nascent, consciously engendered through remembered embrace of our Origin and Destiny.

More and more people, throughout all levels of the social fabric, in all corners of the globe, are experiencing and learning to embrace and become adept in this new/ancient consciousness. Yet, it is not directly a phenomenon of society, or of religion, government, public/private sectors, etc. as such. These institutions and their adherents are struggling to keep pace with this phenomenon of the Awakening, and are generally failing to do so. The dissatisfaction with existing models and structures (and the dis-integration of ecosystems) may be seen as an effect of this evolutionary impetus from within our species and it’s relationship to the biosphere of Earth (and Earth’s relationship to greater orders still). Big things are happening, great changes are afoot. There is little question that we are all, as a planet, on the verge of a rare and special moment in history. There is some question as to the outcome. A great Birth is underway, now, and we are the ones through whom it is occurring.

So, we study the trends and flows, discovering the arts of Holistic Planetary Healing with concern and compassion, and cultivating the Consciousness of the Integral Human Heart and it’s related meta/physics. Practical philosophy is blended with inspired action and innovation. New words and languages are employed to help us think beyond boundaries, beyond our self-created predicament into truly sustainable solutions.

A New Renaissance of Conscious Culture is Happening. Right Here. Right Now. In Oklahoma.

Why Oklahoma (specifically Norman/OKC)? Because it is situated at the Navel of North America, a clear and obviously overlooked power spot on the planet. The Human Potential movement has been looking to the coasts for long enough, it is now time to return to the center, people!

The cacophony of force-captured media has kept the sacred heartland shrouded by ignorance and fear. It’s time to gently turn up our music and allow the harmonies of Gaian Intelligence to imprint and integrate us, throughout our being, our communities, and our world.

We are here now, and we choose to ground this collective vision, to strengthen and manifest the best-possible-planetary-future-scenario for humanity and all beings on earth at this passage. I think the best way to begin is by dancing it into existence.

Wake-Up Dancing!

We hope to see you on the dance floor and at our other events as they happen.

May Blessings Abound in Your Life.

Namaste,

Richard
