More discipline. More boundaries. More self-care. A better morning routine. The right book. The right supplement. A vision board.
But your hands are already full. Your calendar is already full. Your head is already full of voices that don’t even belong to you.
And nobody teaches you that, because the entire world is built to keep you full.
A two-hour live class on what to put down before you can pick anything else up. Drawn from Andean teachings on space, release, and the fertile emptiness that has to come first.
One payment. Capped at 30 seats.
If $47 is a stretch, message me. We’ll figure it out.
The Empty Vessel is the first of three live classes this season. Each one stands on its own. But together they walk a journey: making space, then facing the people who shaped you, then learning to act from solid ground instead of fear. If you can feel that any one of them is for you, you can probably feel that all three are.
What to put down before you can pick anything else up.
The class you’re looking at right now.
The four people who taught you how to relate, and how to read the map they handed you. So you stop ending up in the same place with different people.
The difference between hustle and grounded action. So you stop confusing motion with meaning.
The Rewrite is where the work keeps living between classes. A monthly Story Catching circle call, a monthly hot seat, a private community of honest people doing the same brave work, and a full resource library. It’s the room that keeps the breakthrough from fading.
Three classes at $47 each is $141. A year in The Rewrite at the regular rate is $300. That’s $441 of work for $99, because I want you to actually be in this.
This is the founder rate, and it’s limited. Once these founder seats are gone, the Rewrite goes to its regular $300 a year. But as long as you stay a founder, you stay at $99 a year, every year. No surprise jumps.
One payment. A full year of community. Two more classes still ahead of you.
No lecture. No slides full of theory. A teaching, a few simple practices, time for honest questions, and a daily practice you’ll leave with.
Most of what's heavy in your life isn't even yours. It was handed to you, inherited, absorbed, or assigned. We'll start by sorting through it.
It's not weakness. It's biology. You'll understand why your nervous system fights you when you try to put something down, and what to do about it.
Saminchakuy and Hucha Mikhuy. Daily energy practices the Andean tradition has used for centuries. Simple, bodily, real. Taught in plain English.
The fertile emptiness at the center of the Chakana. Andean tradition treats this void as sacred ground—the essential space you must create within yourself to receive. The modern world, however, treats emptiness as a problem to fix. We'll talk about why the ancients were right.
Something you can do tomorrow morning. Not theory. Practice. Small enough to actually keep doing.
I’m Chad Petersen. I run The Story Catcher. I’m fifty-two. I live in Baños, Ecuador.
I’ve been teaching this work for some time now, and I’m also living it right now. A few months ago, I tore my knee in the mountains on a bicycle tour of incredible waterfalls. Everything I used to fill my life with stopped working. Hustle stopped working. Distraction stopped working. The momentum I’d built my identity on was gone.
So I sat in the space. And the space taught me something thirty years of grinding never did.
If you’re in that space too, come sit in the room.
The things people ask first.
Yes. If you sign up but can’t make it live, you’ll get the recording within 48 hours. The live experience is better, but the recording is real.
No. I’m not a therapist and this isn’t a therapeutic session. It’s a teaching and a practice. If you’re in active crisis, please work with a licensed professional. This class is for people doing the slow, quiet work of clearing space in a life that’s mostly working but mostly not theirs.
Not a thing. I’ll teach what you need as we go. The principles are simple. The practices are simple. The work is hard, but the framework is not.
Most people in the room won’t have. Come anyway. The only requirement is that you’re willing to be honest with yourself for two hours.
Because I want it to be possible. This isn’t a high-ticket coaching offer. It’s one honest conversation in a small room. If $47 is a stretch, message me directly. We’ll figure it out.
You’ll leave with a practice. That’s the point. No upsell, no pitch at the end. If after the class you want to keep working with me, I’ll show you how. But the class stands on its own.
Two hours. One Zoom link. A small group of people who are tired of being full of the wrong things.
If you’ve been waiting for permission to put something down, this is it.
