Your body is your bridge to the present.
It is through the body that you land in yourself and in the living energy of the world around you. It has an intelligence that is more than three billion years older than that of your brain. But for thousands of years our culture has been instructing us to live in the head, forgetful of the body. This trend has gradually disconnected us from nature, and consequently from our own true nature – like the frog that boiled to death because the water it was immersed in was heated so slowly.
The challenge of coming home to your fully embodied self is formidable, because it relies on a dedication to remembrance while being immersed in a culture of forgetfulness. The TEPP membership is designed to support that long journey of remembrance. It provides
- a weekly guided embodiment practice
- themed material
- journalling prompts and questions
- two Zoom calls a month
- and much more
Over time the membership guides you through an incremental, step-by-step journey that helps you reclaim your greatest teacher – the presence and wisdom of your own body.
Connecting you in the ways that matter most
We created this membership in response to the real need people were expressing for a simple, practical, and effective program to help them find their way back to an embodied aliveness.
In practice it is like a gym membership – but rather than helping you strengthen your muscles over time, the TEPP (Re)Membership helps you strengthen your presence in the world.

Here's how we do it:
- ONE NEW AUDIO PRACTICE EACH WEEK Building a new foundation of trust for your life happens the way a stalagmite is formed – slowly and consistently over time. So EACH WEEK YOU'LL HAVE ACCESS TO ONE NEW PRACTICE – not too much to keep up with, but enough to live with during the week, reflect on, and ease you more deeply into the possibilities of your daily life. The practices of TEPP cannot take root with a 'listen once and move on' approach. We grow into them as we revisit them. Behind their simplicity is a rich realm of deepening layers to be discovered.
- A LIBRARY OF AUDIO PRACTICES The membership offers over a hundred unique practices that Philip has created. They are designed to carry you incrementally into the deeper harmony of your body's intelligence, and are organized into themes that are directly relevant to how we move through our days – themes such as Alleviating Anxiety and Quieting the MInd. As your access to this library grows, you can return to any of them as often as you'd like.
- MASTERCLASS Learn from Opening to Your Body's Deeper Intelligence. In this 45-minute video, Philip takes you on a tour into the terrain of the body's intelligence, and through the various ways in which our culture tacitly teaches us to mistrust it. This overview will impart every TEPP practice with a relevance that will help you ground it in your daily.
- PELVIC FLOOR BREATH VIDEO Breath is foundational to spiritual practices around the world. There's a good reason for that: breath puts us in touch with our being. Unfortunately, the pattern of breathing in our culture is muscled and constrained. This pattern largely ignores the ability of the body to release to the breath – an approach that returns us to the way a baby breathes, carrying us into wholeness. The Pelvic Floor Breath is fundamental to true embodiment.
- A GROUP ZOOM CALL with Philip each month, where he shares a new practice and answers any questions you might have about the work. (These take place on a Tuesday at 3pm ET North American time). Each new practice is recorded and added to your library.
- A GROUP ZOOM CALL with a TEPP Facilitator each month, where a new practice is shared, and members can get together with each other to discuss their experiences in breakout rooms. (On a Tuesday at 3pm ET North American time).
- VIDEOS FROM PHILIP sharing reflections from his eleven journals (dating back to 1983) or answering questions from the membership.
- WORKSHEETS Your journey to wholeness is unique, because your experience of wholeness is unique. Philip has created worksheet questions that arrive with each practice to help you deepen into how the practice specifically resonates for you.
- JOURNALING PROMPTS Your journey into wholeness is something you actively create – it requires questioning, testing and wondering, and will stir up confusion, too, as the old status quo falls away. To facilitate that personal journey, Philip has created journaling prompts that arrive each week. They are designed to support you in uncovering vital new choice in the patterns of your daily life.
- HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED The membership gives you the ability to ask Philip questions about the work, and to engage with other TEPP members.
- THE COMPANIONSHIP of a vibrant and rich community.

FAQ
How can I expect to benefit from this membership?
Many people who’ve experienced this work say it has changed their lives. We are used to living in our heads and have come to believe it’s a normal way to be, even though it makes us feel anxious and disconnected and ungrounded. The practices of TEPP help people find their way home to the ease of the body’s natural spaciousness – and that eventually becomes the foundation for everything in their lives. It enables the clarity of the present to support them in all their relationships and enterprises.
