Time of Transition presents:
TIME OF TRANSITION
EMBODIED SOUL AWAKENING
A 14-Week Private Online Group Program
in Psychological and Spiritual Self-Work
to embody your True Self
with Bernhard Guenther & Laura Matsue
NEW UPDATED VERSION
March 18 - June 21, 2026
Limited to 40 People - Application Only
Are you looking for direction and purpose in your life, and practical tools for healing and staying grounded in the midst of global chaos?
Do you feel overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world and know you need to change something within yourself and your life?
Are you experiencing relationship stress, loneliness, or the loss of friends and family as you awaken and feel “in-between lives”?
Are you longing for genuine community and connection with like-minded people, yet finding few spaces rooted in depth and shared values?
Do you want a practical, grounded understanding of the matrix forces and larger cosmic changes shaping the world right now?
Are you ready to engage in holistic self-work (somatic, emotional, psychological, and spiritual) to align with the deeper calling of your soul and true Self?
THE TIME OF TRANSITION
We are living through a great turning point for humanity.
What we are witnessing is a splitting of humanity: a fundamental divergence in consciousness that expresses itself as increasing polarization in our relationships, communities, and societies worldwide.
The structures and identities that once provided meaning and stability are dissolving. Old ways of living no longer feel aligned.
We are entering what various esoteric teachings call the Time of Transition: a purification phase marking the end of a major cosmic cycle.
Many sense something new wanting to emerge, yet struggle to grasp what it is or how to embody it.
Many of us feel increasingly isolated, lacking communities of like-minded seekers where inner work and the deeper questions of life can be engaged with sincerity.
We stand at a threshold moment. And the potential for awakening has never been greater.
The Deeper Purpose of This Transition
From a higher perspective, the increasing polarization serves a purpose: it creates the friction necessary for an inner alchemical process that drives the evolution of consciousness.
This moment calls for more than mere resistance to external forces. It requires conscious inner alignment and responsibility for the unique soul work each of us is here to embody.
It asks us to align with the energies and consciousness of the new cycle, to become the seed people of the new world.
The path forward is not found in fear-based perception, mechanical reactions, or spiritual bypassing. It emerges through sincere, holistic self-work that allows us to act from our deeper essence in alignment with Divine Will.
This is the work we are here to support.
Embodying The Shift
About This Work
Bernhard and Laura have created this private group program for sincere seekers and spiritual warriors who feel called to this deeper work.
Our intention is twofold: to help you step into your fullest creative potential through holistic self-work, and to support a clearer understanding of the profound changes unfolding in the world during this Time of Transition.
An accelerating evolution of consciousness is happening on this planet. Each person has a specific role to play within it.
This program provides the tools, structure, mentorship, and community support you need to consciously step into that role.
We are limiting enrollment to 40 participants to ensure depth of engagement and genuine community.
We designed the Embodied Soul Awakening Program to help you develop inner authority and guidance by focusing on two essential dimensions of self-work:
- Deep inner work to understand your Self, conditioning, and inner dynamics
- Deep outer work to see the world clearly and understand the larger forces shaping reality
In this in-depth program, we share the tools we have found, after working with thousands of people over two decades, to be most essential for creating lasting and meaningful change.
This work is distinct from conventional self-help. While personality development has its place, this program is for people who want to go beyond surface-level improvement and engage in deeper psychological and spiritual transformation.
We explore topics rarely addressed in mainstream personal growth spaces and go far beyond conventional frameworks.
This includes occult and esoteric teachings, an examination of the hyperdimensional matrix control system, and the cultivation of deep, embodied psycho-spiritual tools that support soul growth and alignment with your highest potential.
We only offer practices we have tested ourselves and seen work repeatedly, practices capable of creating real shifts in consciousness, perception, and embodiment, not through bypassing or fantasy, but through direct inner work and lived integration.
The Call to the Great Work
All we ask in return is full self-responsibility and a sincere commitment to Know Thyself.
The world is waking up, and it needs you to show up.
If you are ready to answer the call to what has been called the Great Work by teachers across the ages, this program is for you.
This program addresses the following core areas:
Foundation & Healing the Psyche
Spiritual Awakening & Transformation
- The Path of Awakening
- The Time of Transition & Evolution of Consciousness
- The Individuation Process
- Jungian Dream Work

This Program Is For You If You:
"Without a grounded foundation, spiritual work becomes a minefield of confusion and false light. This course provided exactly that foundation."
- AARON W.
"I feel more centered, relaxed, grounded, empowered, and ready to meet what is being asked of me during this Time of Transition."
- BECCA C.
"I have taken many courses over the years, and this was by far the most comprehensive, well-researched, and thoroughly executed course I have ever done. I don’t say that lightly."
- SHANNON D.
How We Do “The Work”
Laura Matsue and Bernhard Guenther
After more than 20 years of holistic psycho-spiritual work in both private and group settings, we’ve learned that lasting transformation only happens when the whole human being is addressed.
This work rests on four essential dimensions, which together form what we call:
The Four-Fold Approach to
Holistic Self-Work
PHYSICAL / SOMATIC
Deep inner work requires a stable physical foundation.
Each week includes a gentle mind–body practice drawing from yoga, breathwork, and Qi Gong to support grounding, nervous system regulation, and the release of stored stress and trauma.
You will also learn the fundamentals of the body–mind connection, so you can recognize how tension and emotional patterns manifest physically, allowing the body to support the work rather than resist it.
PSYCHOLOGICAL / EMOTIONAL
This pillar centers on Shadow Work, Trauma Work, Inner Child Work, and the Individuation Process through somatic self-work, allowing you to work directly with triggers and access unconscious core beliefs often stored in the body.
You will be guided through somatic therapeutic tools, embodiment-based meditation practices, and dream work to help release stuck emotions, unresolved trauma, and karmic patterns, while integrating fragmented or split-off parts of the psyche.
We approach this work holistically, offering a deeper understanding of how personal history, dreams, and unconscious dynamics shape your inner and relational life, supporting greater self-understanding and more authentic connections with others.
INTELLECTUAL
This part of the program focuses on what we call outer work, developing a grounded understanding of the deeper structures of reality and the laws that govern life and consciousness.
This part of the program focuses on what we call outer work, developing a grounded understanding of the deeper structures of reality and the laws that govern life and consciousness.
We explore key philosophical and spiritual frameworks related to awakening, examine the matrix control system, and introduce esoteric and occult teachings that shed light on hidden forces, beings, and influences often operating beyond conscious perception.
You will also develop critical thinking and discernment, learning how to question assumptions, recognize deception, and sharpen the mind as a tool for truth-seeking rather than belief or ideology.
SPIRITUAL
Once the body is more regulated and the psyche is more integrated into a stable relationship with the Self, we guide you in accessing higher spiritual realities through an embodied, heart-centered approach.
Once the body is more regulated and the psyche is more integrated into a stable relationship with the Self, we guide you in accessing higher spiritual realities through an embodied, heart-centered approach.
You will learn how intuition functions, go deeper into Spiritual Psychology, and how to consciously work with Divine Forces, strengthening your alignment with Dharma and Divine Will, which underlies authentic reality creation.
The program also includes breathwork and meditation practices designed to support deeper embodiment, expanded creative intelligence, and the natural emergence of intuitive and psychic capacities.

FREquently asked questions
Do I need prior experience with psychological or spiritual self-work to apply?
Not necessarily. While many participants have backgrounds in therapy, somatic work, shadow work, or spiritual practice, what matters most is sincerity, self-responsibility, and a genuine willingness to engage in the work. If you feel authentically called to this process, you are welcome to apply.
What is the time commitment for the 14-week core program and the 6-month integration phase? Is this realistic for people with busy lives (jobs, parenting, etc.)?
This program is intentionally designed for sincere seekers living real, everyday lives, whether you're navigating a demanding job, raising children, managing family responsibilities, or handling the stresses of modern life.
There's no need to take time off work, rearrange your schedule, or go on a retreat. The structure supports integration into your daily routine rather than pulling you away from it.

During the 6-month integration phase: Very light—one monthly group Zoom (hosted by Bernhard and Laura for Q&A/support) + ongoing Telegram access. Join only as needed.
We’ll go into more detail about the schedule and how it flows week to week during your brief discovery Zoom call after you apply.
Are the live sessions recorded? What if I can’t attend live?
Yes. All live sessions are recorded and uploaded to the course platform. While live participation is encouraged, you can still fully benefit from the program if you need to miss a session.
What happens after I apply?
After submitting your application, you will be invited to book a brief discovery Zoom call. During the call, we will review the program structure and schedule and answer any questions you may have before moving forward.
EXPERIENCES & TESTIMONIALS
OF PAST PARTICIPANTS
Below are over 50 reflections from participants who completed the program.
They are shared in full and unedited to reflect the range and consistency of experiences within the container.
"Embodied Soul Awakening with Laura and Bernhard was the most powerful inner work I’ve ever done.
I started listening to the Cosmic Matrix Podcast when I began questioning my “woke” beliefs. I binged the podcast and realized that my obsession with healing the collective was actually my soul’s call to heal myself.
The course helped me recognize abandonment wounds and trauma related to losing my mom to cancer.
The journal prompts following the lectures helped me validate myself, stay true to my soul’s calling, and learn to self-motivate to turn my dreams into reality.
The embodiment practices also helped me release the tension I had been carrying for years.
Whether you’re new to spirituality or have been on the path for a long time, the coursework and embodiment practices are deeply healing and transformative.
There are so many distortions around what it means to be “spiritual,” especially through dogmatic religion and social media.
Laura and Bernhard do a great job explaining and clearing up misconceptions around philosophy, shadow work, astrology, trauma, and much more.
The group coaching calls were especially inspiring, as many of us shared similar experiences. Laura and Bernhard are both attentive listeners and offer practical, grounded guidance for working through challenges.
This course is one of the best investments you can make toward becoming a more healed and integrated version of yourself.
If the podcast alone has already changed your life, this program will take you to levels you didn’t even know existed."
- JESSICA B.
"I’ve been following Bernhard and Laura’s work for nearly five years and have consistently aligned with their perspectives and teachings.
I first heard about the course through their podcast and contemplated it for some time. I’ve done a great deal of inner work and am in the healing profession myself.
I’ve always admired Bernhard and Laura’s fearless pursuit of truth and their unwavering strength in standing in their power, both individually and as a couple.
I also saw in them a reflection of myself, and a recognition that deeper inner work was needed for me to fully align with my path.
This course was both confronting and validating, while also being deeply healing in many ways. It has made me a better healer and has truly leveled me up.
I have taken many courses over the years, and this was by far the most comprehensive, well-researched, and thoroughly executed course I have ever done. I don’t say that lightly.
Bernhard and Laura’s dedication to themselves, their relationship, and their teachings is genuinely inspiring. Their training shows.
They hold a strong and safe container, are fully committed to their path, and consistently walk their talk, delivering far beyond what I expected.
I will be going through this course again and again. There is so much rich information, and I know I will gain more with each pass.
I now have many more tools in my toolbox, and with continued commitment and practice, I feel prepared for whatever comes my way.
Spiritual strength, humility, and resilience are among the greatest gifts of this course. I feel more dedicated to my path because of this experience.
Thank you, Bernhard and Laura. Words cannot fully express how deeply honored I feel to have shared this profound journey with you both. You are powered by God."
- SHANNON D.
"Many synchronicities occurred at a turning point in my life, leading me to Bernhard and Laura’s work.
After years of meandering and on-and-off dabbling in spirituality and esoteric studies while seeking answers to suffering, it became alarmingly obvious that without a grounded foundation, you are setting yourself up for a long and difficult path filled with pitfalls and false-light experiences.
I had reached a point where I could feel that focusing on anything other than the Great Work felt pointless, and that a major re-orientation and a new understanding of myself, other people, and life was needed.
However, I couldn’t articulate this at the time. If you feel this same way, I cannot recommend this course enough.
My expectations for this course were surpassed very quickly.
Every question I had when the course began was answered and explained by the end.
So much confusion and half-understanding was cleared for me by Laura and Bernhard. They do an amazing job teaching how and why all of these different modalities and concepts are connected.
The vast range of information is very well organized and clearly explained, with all the concepts, practices, and resources needed to begin this kind of work with a clear, grounded, and practical perspective.
This is invaluable in a time when an overwhelming cyclone of information is rooted in escapism and wishful thinking.
This course is beyond worth it. The group aspect of the course is an honor to be a part of.
Hearing everyone’s different experiences and insights has been immensely helpful. Knowing that you’re not alone and that others are trying to lift themselves out of this matrix restored so much hope and inspiration for me.
Bernhard, Laura, and their assistant Michaela are always present on the calls and in the group.
You never feel as if they’re just going through the motions. They are never condescending and always show respect, no matter where you’re at in your level of knowledge and awareness.
From this experience, I now feel a real and renewed sense of purpose and direction. I understand myself, others, my relationships, and what’s happening in the world on a much deeper and more expanded level.
I can’t thank Bernhard, Laura, Michaela, and all the students in this group enough. I have learned so much from everyone.
This has been life changing, and I’m excited to move forward toward whatever comes next. All of my gratitude."
- AARON W.
“I am unaware of any course or program like this one that addresses self-work from a truly holistic perspective, integrating the psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.
This is the recipe for real healing and transformation.
Laura and Bernhard have created a curriculum that is precise and direct, yet also comprehensive and deep.
As facilitators, their decades of personal experience are invaluable, and they continue to walk their talk every day. They lead by example, both as guides and as a conscious couple doing the Great Work together.
I cannot recommend this course highly enough.
I am graduating with a more expanded and embodied sense of self, along with tools and allies for the journey ahead.”
- ROBERT M.
"Bernhard and Laura have provided the truth seeker with a “Swiss Army knife” of tools for the journey toward healing, wholeness, and a soul-led life.
The course materials unfolded in a thoughtfully curated way, building upon each other as a complete and cohesive package for both inner and outer work.
Laura and Bernhard delivered far beyond expectations, offering insightful guidance, mind-expanding teachings, practical exercises, and therapeutic modalities.
Throughout the 14 weeks, I was challenged to engage in deep self-exploration and to be honest about my spiritual seeking.
In that process, I found a bedrock of sincere aspiration and moved toward building a stronger connection with my Self, along with a renewed commitment to spiritual growth.
Since completing the course, I feel far more grounded and continue to grow in awareness each day.
Sharing this deep work with others in the group was an added gift. I now feel equipped and enlivened to continue the path of the spiritual warrior."
- KYLIE S.
- ANDREW S.
– Natalie M.
- ANNE S.
"This course was not solely a catalyst for motivated and intentional action, which I’ve never before experienced; it was also a frequent invitation to surrender and rest in my own sense of Being.
It is a learning program that offers valuable information and a way to experience and integrate it through the body.
Within this program, I’ve found an accessible, authentic, and illuminating community that supported me in discovery, vulnerability, awe, and expression.”
- Eric R.
As a therapist, I joined the course to deepen my understanding of myself and bring what I learned into my work with clients. I was not disappointed.
I learned how my astrology, particularly the North Nodes, has informed my life even when I wasn’t consciously aware of it.
This helped me understand how my inner dynamics developed and how my internal family system formed, including how different parts were protecting me.
The part of the course that links trauma with hostile occult forces was especially invaluable. It helped me see how trauma can be affected by these energies.
By becoming aware of where we were hurt, we can remain in Self energy, regulate more effectively, and distinguish what is truly ours and what is not.
I have since integrated the practices into my own life and into my work with clients.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind course, integrating esoteric understanding with the deeply human and embodied realities of developmental and generational trauma.
I recommend this program to those who want to understand themselves more deeply, recognize how their past continues to shape their present, and learn how to live more fully as their true Self.
Thank you to Laura and Bernhard for bringing this work into the world."
- JULIE S.
- STEPHANIE B.
"This comprehensive course provided me with the tools and resources I needed to step into the next phase of my life with courage, confidence, and clarity.
It provided an unbelievable depth of instruction and practices to expand my understanding of self and the world, and let go of patterns that no longer serve me.
I feel myself stepping into a more embodied and authentic way of being. I feel my soul coming online. I am hearing and trusting the guidance of the Divine forces we worked with over the past few months.
Everything promised in this course has been delivered. I am embodying my awakening soul. If you desire the same, join this course.”
- JESSE S.
“I have been listening to Laura and Bernhard’s podcast for several years and have also read much of Bernhard’s work.
I’ve long been intrigued by the depth of his perceptions and his ability to communicate clearly about challenging subjects. When they announced this program, it spoke to me immediately, and I knew there was something important here for me.
I was blown away by how comprehensive their teachings are.
As a practicing psychotherapist for over 20 years, I learned more about shadow work, trigger work, and effective ways of helping myself and others process childhood, past-life, and unconscious wounding than I did in any of my psychology training. I don’t say that lightly.
I am honestly floored by how clear, thorough, and well-structured these teachings are.
They offer a step-by-step process that meets people where they are, whether new or seasoned, and guides them into the depths of the soul for real self-healing.
I have been transformed, despite having done inner work for decades.
Through the embodiment meditations, yoga, and Qi Gong, I accessed unconscious wounding I didn’t even know was there.
I continue to use their teachings and practices after the course to bring shadow aspects of myself into awareness. As a result, I feel lighter, calmer, and more embodied, and I am far more accepting of others and of myself.
Laura and Bernhard deliver on their promises of teaching both the inner and outer work.
I’ve learned so much and will continue walking this path. Thank you for these teachings and for this wonderful community.”
– NADIA E.
I was drawn to this course because I was feeling lost and alone during these challenging times and wanted to make a deeper commitment to my spiritual growth and daily practice.
Laura and Bernhard’s Embodied Soul Awakening Program helped me get back on track.
They provide a wide range of knowledge, tools, and practices to work through triggers, understand relationship patterns, and connect with the true Self.
Since completing the course, I’ve returned to a consistent daily spiritual practice and feel a renewed sense of commitment to my life purpose.
Laura and Bernhard created a safe and authentic space for real spiritual growth.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is ready to take an honest look at all aspects of life and do the work.
- LAURA E.
“I was drawn to the course after discovering Bernhard’s work earlier this year. It seemed to offer a comprehensive, no-b.s. approach to understanding things I had been sensing and experiencing for years.
For a while, I had been feeling like I was edging up to a threshold that I wasn’t prepared to cross and couldn’t cross alone.
Intuitively, I knew the course would give me exactly what I needed. And it delivered tenfold!
Working with Laura and Bernhard has opened me up to a whole new way of understanding the world. I’m still processing many of the implications.
I feel stretched in a way that was necessary for the next step in my journey. Both in my personal story and the way those experiences/teachings are woven into the collective, I find myself venturing into new territories – into new depths of darkness with more courage and willingness to keep my eyes and heart open.
Laura and Bernhard are fiercely compassionate guides. They don’t sugarcoat, they don’t coddle, and they don’t claim to offer a soft place to land.
They do hold space for whatever presents, offering reflections and affirmation that we are all our own healers and can trust our inherent wisdom.
Their individual energies and life’s work balances one another’s quite beautifully. I really enjoyed them as partners in leadership.
The curriculum touched on every level of being, offering literature, media, and a slew of practices to integrate the teachings and day-to-day experiences.
Now that the formal portion of the course is over, I feel like so many new doors of exploration have just opened.
Not only do I have a lighter backpack after having released the pain of old wounds with the practices, I also feel more prepared than ever to trust the movement through this constant flux of life.”
- HEATHER M.
"I'm sure you know the age-old adage 'when the student is ready, the teacher will appear'.
After listening to several of the Cosmic Matrix podcasts, I quickly realized there was much more I needed to learn from Laura and Bernhard.
I had been on the path of inner work for a couple of years, but I tended to spiritually bypass my issues. What I needed was real knowledge, structure, guidance, and practices that I simply could not do on my own.
This course guides you to take responsibility for your thoughts, actions, and beliefs, which leads to true empowerment.
There are numerous video lectures, articles, exercises, meditations, breathwork, and somatic practices, including yoga and Qi Gong.
In addition, the group coaching calls and the private Telegram group provide meaningful connections with others on a similar yet unique path.
The psycho-spiritual aspect of this course was especially impactful for me. I’ve become more conscious, deeply aware of my shadow, and reconnected with my true essence.
I now carry a renewed sense of love, humor, and appreciation for life.
Most importantly, I have developed a real daily spiritual practice to connect with my divinity.
I feel more centered, relaxed, grounded, empowered, and ready to meet what is being asked of me during this time of transition.
Laura and Bernhard, you have my sincere thanks and appreciation. If you ever offer an in-person retreat, I would absolutely attend."
- BECCA C.
“Laura and Bernhard are game-changers to the matrix.
They literally have a road map on how to get out of the madness, if you are willing to face your shadow and do the work.
They walk their talk. If you are ready to join the army of truth seekers wanting an authentic life and self, you must go through the program!!!”
- KERRI W.
- SALOMÉ T.
"Looking for a course at the crossroads of the psychological and the spiritual, anchored in a perception of the world that truly matched mine, I was deeply grateful to discover Bernhard and Laura’s work in general, and Embodied Soul Awakening in particular.
A deep bow to the person who brought it to my attention, and a deep bow for the clear, powerful, honest, and no-nonsense approach offered in ESA.
The abundance of material was overwhelming at times, but in a good way. Having two full years to absorb and integrate it made all the difference. I even started again from the beginning as soon as the course ended.
I especially appreciated the material on occult forces and evolutionary astrology, both of which were new to me.
These teachings genuinely helped shift my perspective, not only in how I understand human life more broadly, but also in how I understand myself and my own unique life trajectory.
I would recommend organizing your life to make space for this course. It’s in the deep dive that the real work happens, and where lasting transformation becomes possible."
- VEE
- LAUREN W.
"The best way I can describe this course is by affirming its depth of content, which is so detailed and intelligent while maintaining a quality of sincere vulnerability and authentic presence.
The reverence and the referral to the Divine, and the consistent call and urgency Laura and Bernard convey to work out our stuff while doing their own deep shadow/trauma work, are truly meaningful.
I have hope that somehow Humanity will, if only by the few, take this giant leap and path towards full embodiment and ultimately realize a full transition into enlightenment.
The feelings of connection to Laura, Bernhard, and the group were of true caring, warmth of heart, and community.
I miss all of you and know our hearts are One. Thank you, Laura and Bernard, for the immense effort you both put forth for all this to happen. Blessings to us all."
- MARY D.
"The ESA course from Laura and Bernhard is unlike anything else - the depth, the structure, and the holistic nature of it makes it, in my view, the TOP course for anyone interested in becoming a more whole human being on all levels.
I felt a deep call to join this course - whenever I saw it on social media or heard it on the podcast that Laura and Bernhard were doing it, something in me was saying, "Go for it." So I did, and am really grateful I did.
My intention in taking the course was to be more in touch with what my being wants to express through me in the world… and overall be more connected to myself.
Throughout the course, all kinds of things were coming up in me and in my life that I was forced to deal with and confront.
Fears, shame, sadness, suppressed anger, situations where I needed to set a boundary… it wasn’t comfortable, but it is what I really needed to be more connected to myself, to be more whole.
Obviously, I’m not done, and it’s an ongoing process, but the tools and skills that I’ve learned from this course have allowed me (and still do) to confront these things in myself with more understanding, depth, awareness, and compassion than ever before.
And I am truly grateful for that. Laura and Bernhard embody a wide (and wise :-)) range of knowledge and understanding from different fields. You can feel it’s something they live.
It’s not some black-and-white thing where you get only one tool, one pointer, or one view on how to approach your life.
It’s very holistic and thought-out in terms of structure and what is shared, and there’s a lot of it.
You get more than what you pay for, and it’s worth every penny.
Not only do you get an in-depth understanding of what it takes to be a more whole human being on all levels, but you also get insights on how to spot and avoid common traps on the path towards awakening, as there are many.
In short, this course has felt like "coming home" to myself; it’s awakened a stronger desire in me to be more of an expression of the Divine in my life, as challenging as it sometimes is.
It may sound cliché, but that’s the felt experience I got after going through the course from Laura and Bernhard. Thank you for your presence and guidance."
- DAVID F.
“My husband Jason and I are deeply grateful to have gone through this program with Bernhard and Laura and the spiritual warriors that their work draws to participate.
Having listened to their podcast and followed their work for some time, this program is truly the first one we both felt so strongly as YES!
We have both been doing deep spiritual work, individually and together, for a long time, and have participated in many groups, and have NEVER experienced the depth, transparency, and practical, grounded life change that this program has invited us to!
Laura and Bernhard are both lovingly and powerfully leading a movement of what the new Spiritual Warrior looks like, stepping fearlessly into spaces where most spiritual seekers shy away from due to the hard work it is to face oneself in the deeper shadows.
The challenge to face it all has been unraveling in all the right ways, and I am forever changed as I move forward in this lifelong work towards wholeness, spiritual maturity, freedom, and service to help others do the same.
Thank you both, Bernhard and Laura, from the depths of my heart. We love you beyond words and are divinely blessed to walk this journey together!
To anyone who is considering taking this deep dive….your YES will deepen your relationship with God in ways you cannot yet imagine!”
- HEATHER P.
"I was drawn to this course for several reasons. I am in a major time of transition in my life, having tragically lost my wife to a brain tumor just over a year ago.
I am on a journey to face whatever it takes to make this next chapter of my life meaningful, both for myself and for others, and also in connection with my new life partner.
For many years, I have been focused on the profound changes unfolding in our world. I feel a strong desire to be of service during these times, and to learn how to serve more consciously and effectively.
Three additional factors drew me to the course. One was the strong focus on somatic work, shadow integration, and deeper spiritual issues, areas I find challenging but am willing to face.
Another was the opportunity to connect with others who share a similar path and way of being.
And finally, the course reflected the consistent message I have heard for years from Bernhard and Laura through their interviews and teachings.
The course exceeded my expectations, and I already had high expectations going in.
I also deeply appreciated Laura’s astrology insights, which I found quite powerful.
To anyone willing to embrace the nature of what is with an open heart, mind, and spirit, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to sign up."
- BOB W.
“In these interesting times, I have found relationships with others difficult. This is out of character for me, and I understand I am not alone. However, I realized this was my work.
I had been listening to Bernhard and Laura’s podcasts and receiving emails for a couple of years.
I intended to take the Soul Embodiment program eventually; however, there were so many other pressing, time-sensitive responsibilities in my life.
Yet after talking with Bernhard and getting a better understanding of the unique format of the course material, I realized it was time.
It was clear that it was designed for true individuality. And there hasn’t been a moment of regret!!!
The experience of the program has been deeply rich on so many levels: profound, humbling, uncomfortable, insightful, liberating, and ultimately invaluable.
Committing to the group course has catapulted my learning and, above all, the integration of this learning into growth (this feedback comes directly from the individuals closest to me).
Bernhard and Laura offer their own individual styles and experiences while combining their knowledge and wisdom of studies, modalities, and practices into a complementary mosaic of exploration.
There is an authenticity in their humility and grace, and this essence creates a safe space to dive into the depths of all it is to be a soul incarnate at this time.
Beyond everything else, I have strengthened my connection to the Divine, and there is clarity that this is my primary relationship. Without a doubt, the truest freedom I have ever experienced.
This was the relationship my soul needed to nurture to be truly capable of navigating and nurturing all relationships in my life, from a soul level of truth and compassion.
Absolutely invaluable. Thank you!!”

“I felt drawn to Laura and Bernhard’s work because I was looking to take my self-work to a deeper level and find the tools I needed to move through this time of transition with my eyes and heart open.
They both bring their unique wisdom and experience together to deliver a holistic and authentic offering on seeing beyond the tangible world and not being afraid of its truth.
Through this course, I have deepened my appreciation for and connection with the Divine, as well as with myself.
It exceeded my expectations in teaching me to embody the anti-fragile, empowered, spiritual warrior, and now I feel more prepared to navigate these times with genuine courage and trust.
I am so grateful for this much-needed work, especially right now, and encourage anyone who is sincere about their path to awakening to Self and universal knowledge, to do this course! This is the real work.”
- BRIANNA O.
- MICHEL VAN E.
“Laura’s and Bernhard’s level of embodiment creates a genuine container to access authenticity. Working with them has allowed me to dive deeper into my own personal processes and gain clarity.
With their support, I have been able to shift and change beliefs and integrate new understanding in my life. This clarity and understanding have led to positive action in my experiences.
I am truly thankful for their knowledge, insights, and guidance.”
- KATRINA B.
“I felt an actual calling to work with Laura and Bernhard, a persistent intuition to which I just had to surrender to the innate Intelligence enlivening me to do so.
I wanted to focus my attention on holding the collective experience with other souls in the service of Others.
I came away with a renewed hope for where humankind is headed, optimistic about the inherent healing afforded when hearts with supportive intentions choose to be present for one another, share, and witness each other.
Laura and Bernhard are adept in many modalities, and their generosity in sharing their journeys and insight empowered me with new facets of embodied understanding via psychosomatic and meditative practices, very much uniquely their own.
Their sincerity and compassion feel authentic and palpable. To those interested or curious to connect with Laura and Bernhard, you can’t but come away enriched.”
- LINDSEY M.
"The Time of Transition course was transformational.
I was feeling stuck in my spiritual progression and this was the kick start I needed to help me reflect on my life situation and finding the reasons behind the why and where I was on my life path.
Laura's explanation of evolutionary astrology and Bernhard's occult knowledge were huge amplifiers in my journey toward understanding our current societal situation and how to remain grounded through these unprecedented times.
A fantastic program to reignite your passion and reclaiming your divinity."
- JADA P.
"I was drawn to Laura and Bernhard's program because I felt there was no other comparable program that offered the in-depth, comprehensive body of work, teachings and applicable practices to cover all areas of physical reality (esoteric teachings, fundamentals of the matrix, universal laws, evolutionary astrology), psychological holistic healing modalities, spiritual healing modalities and tools, body work practices and so much more.
The program was everything I hoped for and so much more.
Laura and Bernhard practice what they teach and embody themselves what they help guide others through in terms of practical tools and modalities to help anyone along their conscious path of growth and soul evolution.
The program came to me at the perfect divine timing in my 'awakening' journey, and I'm so grateful and appreciative for both of them and their dedication to this work and helping others along their path.
They hold space beautifully and authentically for all participants navigating the program together.
It was a gift to go through with an intimate group of individuals who were also consciously choosing to 'answer the call' on their awakening journeys.
Laura and Bernhard's body of knowledge is so well researched and studied (understatement!) across all the modules offered, and each module basically covers every aspect someone needs to navigate and assist them on their conscious path, awakening, and soul evolution journey.
You will get everything you truly need out of this program!
My own foundation of knowledge (about all things physical reality, the matrix) has exponentially grown thanks to taking this program, and I've learned (and been able to add to my practices) so many new healing modalities (psychological, spiritual, and physical).
True deep gratitude for Laura and Bernhard's service in helping others, prepared to go deep into the inner work and shadow work required to grow and evolve on an individual soul level and collectively."
- KATE R.
"Laura and Bernhard's resonance is what initially brought me to the course.
Rarely have I had such a felt experience of authenticity as I have had while listening to their podcast or reading their written work.
I feel like I was led to this particular course by the Divine, and the course did not disappoint.
It helped me make meaning of the many experiences I have had on my own path of awakening and has strengthened my spiritual foundation.
If you are open-minded and "know that you don't know," then you will get a lot from this course"
- CHRIS K.
“I was attracted to the course after listening to their podcasts during the previous year.
I love how they bring deep traditional wisdom to the challenges we face today, as well as how they openly share their own life experiences to bring the material alive.
When I saw how their course brings together psychological shadow work with astrological guidance, spiritual practice, and bodywork as essential ingredients for healing, growth, and evolution, I knew it was going to be special.
No one else out there that I know of is able to offer this. It has been a revelation to find so much valuable material packed into a 14-week program.
It has helped me start bringing together and deepening the work I have done before in a very refreshing and comprehensive way.
I say ‘start’ because I look forward to many more months of study and practice as I work through and integrate the 5 meticulously laid out modules that Bernhard and Laura have created.
They are a very special teaching couple who have dedicated their lives to offering this unique program at a time when so many of us need guidance and support.”
- ARDHAN
“This course represents a genuine and positive opportunity for this awakening soul. Working with Bernhard, Laura, and my classmates has helped me continue to dive deeper into my way and gain greater clarity.
Having a strong sense of others pursuing making this world a better place right now, and wanting to improve my efforts to join them, is what drew me to the course.
I expected to learn more about myself during the course. I did not expect to encounter as many like-minded souls, nor did I expect so many shifts in my perspective.
I am definitely more embodied after this course than before, and realize the importance of continuing that work each moment.
Being mindful that it starts with my sincere commitment to self-work and my engagement, I find this course to be one of the best investments (money, time, and energy) I have made in this life.
As a result, Bernhard and Laura, the course, and my classmates will always have my profound gratitude.
Thank you.”
- JONATHAN W.
“I highly recommend the course for a serious seeker of growth and development. I was drawn to the course to learn more about various topics that I had only skimmed the surface on in my journey.
I gained so much more insight into my own process and practices and learned some invaluable information.
I learned that I had been pushing down many feelings that I “thought” I had been addressing through my spiritual work, but in reality, I had only been bypassing them.
I wasn’t truly feeling a lot of difficult feelings, and in doing so, I unlocked even more consciousness. I had a big awakening moment related to my trauma.
I realized that for me, my trauma is important and cannot be compared to others. Naming my trauma and speaking about it has been freeing.
Laura and Bernhard are the real deal.
They have done the work themselves and deeply care about their students and the coursework they have created.
I’m grateful that mentors like them exist at this critical time in our world. Thank you!”
- CAROLYN H.
“This course was beyond what I expected.
Bernhard’s and Laura’s experience and background were beautifully organized into a format that helped me to understand the suffering that I have been carrying and showed me a way to help myself.
Their support in showing you the way back to your true self is something I will be forever grateful for.
Thank you, Bernhard and Laura!”
- JENNIFER V.
"I have been following Laura and Bernhard's work for a few years before taking the course. I knew about it but waited until I felt ready to do it. I wanted to connect to my self again. I absolutely did that.
I learned strategies to connect, I uncovered unconscious patterns that were keeping me stuck in unhelpful programming.
I did Qi Gong for the first time and was amazed at how much something so simple could help me.
I unpacked some of my (not-quite-ideal) life choices, learned to zoom out and discover why I made them, and began to heal the wounds that influenced them.
Also, forgiveness to myself for making those choices, and learning that life is happening for me, not to me.
Our group container felt safe, it was easy to open up and share, the calls were great! I learned so much from sharing and listening to others' shares. I am so much more grounded.
I’m looking forward to continuing on this path of learning and growing.
There is so much content in the course, along with book suggestions to keep me going for a long time! I am so happy I took the plunge and did it."
- SARAH N.
“Laura and Bernhard are excellent guides. They provide education and experiences that helped me figure out what I need.
As I learned more about myself, they gave feedback and pushback on what to try, how to frame, and on continuing to question what I think I know.
They have a very clear view of the world that helps them help people, without pushing their beliefs on others. They are open about their own journey, insofar as it helps others.
The tools and information they provide are excellent entrances into the world of the esoteric for understanding the world and those around you and for understanding yourself.”
- ANNA D.
“Never once did Laura and Bernhard bullshit us about the work at hand. If you’re looking for a silver bullet to make your experiences more comfortable, you won’t find it.
If you’re ready to sacrifice your image of what a spiritual journey looks like and truly step into the mystery of the divine, then this course is a wonderful guide.”
- SOTO S.
"I was going through a very difficult time in my life from both a psychological and spiritual perspective. I came across the Cosmic Matrix podcast, which I found extremely helpful.
I felt both Laura and Bernhard were actually living what they spoke about and had a lot to offer.
My intention for taking the course was to better understand why I was experiencing such dark and difficult times and to heal the frozen state I had been in for years by connecting to my body and emotions without being scared to do so.
I wanted to come out of the 14 weeks able to speak up for myself and share things I had been scared to share in the past.
What I didn’t expect was how easily I would be able to move through intense things now.
Not only do I allow myself to feel emotions, let them move, and I have come to a place where I feel able and safe to articulate what I’m experiencing in those moments.
Before the Embodied Soul Awaking (ESA) course, I was terrified to share what I was going through with my partner; now I can do that with clarity and so much more ease.
Laura and Bernard have done an immense amount of real work and research and provide a very methodical framework to ESA. What they deliver is more than worth the time and money to join.
This is a great example of an ethical online course, group, and teachers.
I didn’t expect to be provided with so many tangible things. These two actually care about helping people.
I am no longer scared to share my thoughts both in public and private. I am spending time in nature now after being scared of it in the past (frozen by trauma).
I have faced the thing I was most scared to do and spoke up for myself.
I think the best part is I can now feel safe feeling my emotions and my body, and have love and respect for myself as I process them rather than avoid them. It’s changed my life."
- PAULA H.
"Laura and Bernhard have woven various threads that guide you on the path to remembering.
They each bring their personal style and deliver an amazingly cohesive but wide-ranging approach.
Every time I come back to working with them, I find myself able to go deeper into the process and come out the other side transformed in unexpected ways.
I find myself showing up for my family, my friends, and my clients in more grounded ways and have gained the ability to genuinely listen and hold space for others while tracking my own internal reactions so I can come back to work on myself if or as needed but give others the space to be heard in a way that I find we are all yearning for.
I am forever grateful that I have come across Bernhard and Laura in this lifetime."
- ANGELA D.
- SARAH P.
"I was interested in taking the course with Bernhard and Laura for further growth, but mostly to work on my relationship blocks.
What was unexpected was that I have stayed in touch with some course participants, and we still have a regular monthly group call.
I dived deeper than I thought I could and have released emotional blocks, but the most surprising to me was the energetic blocks released that were stored in my physical body and unknown to me.
Once released, these parts of my body felt completely different.
I never knew I was carrying that around, and even my acupuncturist noticed that some areas no longer had congestion or issues anymore.
I have received further support and healing through Laura and Bernhard's contacts, which has been a wonderful extension.
While I was expecting the course to be 3 months, the information they shared and the tools and people they have put me in touch with have continued my ongoing expansion.
Something I feel blessed to have participated in and a course I would recommend to anyone open and ready for transformation and wanting to deep dive in to this soulful journey."
- VANITA A.
“After completing the Time of Transition: Embodied Soul Awakening course, I can say wholeheartedly that it was a solid positive experience for me.
Laura & Bernhard are very insightful teachers, transparent, compassionate, honest, my kind of warriors, especially needed in these times.
From the first module on, I felt way more grounded in my body, which is one of the pieces I was looking to gain through the course.
Probably the yoga and qi gong, and, of course, their clean, grounded energies coming through all the videos and live calls.
It was also incredibly thrilling to sit in class with teachers and students who are so like-minded about what is truly going on in the world, as those of us who “get it” are few and far between – growing, thank goodness, and probably because of leaders like Laura & Bernhard.
I’m so thankful that my guides nudged me to take this course. I’d do it again without hesitation.”
- LINDA C.
“I was drawn to this course as I have been following Bernhard and Laura for a while and I respected their work as they always come back to the sincerity and self-responsibility which was inspiring to me.
I was blown away by the quality, depth, and comprehensiveness of each module and exercise Bernhard and Laura have created.
Lots of healing happened for me in this course, including revisiting some old wounds in new ways and bringing the fragmented parts of me back to myself.
I feel more recalibrated and connected with my essence with a strength I did not have before, and inspired to live my life in alignment with Divine Will in this world. Deep gratitude to both of you!”
"I had been listening to Bernhard and Laura on the "Cosmic Matrix Podcast" and "Piercing the Veil of Reality" off and on for several years before I signed up for their class.
When I suffered a significant setback due to a breakup of a relationship, I decided to sign up for the class. I knew I needed something more than mainstream psychotherapy.
The course brought me into a community with like-minded people who opened their hearts and souls. It helped to see that many of us were going through similar despairing circumstances. It helped to see everyone's honesty.
The teaching modules were very well put together, with extensive research—the exercises for self-reflection, meditations for many types of healing, and expert psychological approaches.
The invited speakers were amazing, too.
Among the many valuable lessons I learned, two stand out as particularly transformative. The first was the importance of healing our inner child, a crucial step in our connection with the Divine.
The second was the revelation of the occult forces that attack our Inner Child and the hidden Matrix that perpetuates this cycle.
Lastly, I must express my deep gratitude towards Bernhardt and Laura, whose guidance and wisdom have been instrumental in my journey of healing and growth."
- MAUREEN C.
"I began following the work of Laura and Bernhard a couple of years ago. In so doing, it was apparent to me that their approach and perspective on the evolution of one's being resonated deeply with me.
In all of my searching and seeking for greater inner peace over this lifetime, it has been rare for any teachings or teachers to align so fully with how I feel about adopting, implementing, or embracing modalities, tools, and doctrines.
While I have made many poor personal decisions in this life (all of course I have long realized have served a great purpose in my ongoing evolution of self and being), I have somehow had the power of discernment and intuition to steer clear of pledging myself to any indoctrination to the multitude of ideological, dogmatic, or misleading institutions of self-awareness and spiritual enlightenment.
In short, I have never found anything that has fully resonated. That said, I have recognized aspects of many wisdom teachings and practices that I feel have served me along my path, without being fully invested in or devoted to any of them.
Whether this is a good or bad thing, my resistance to committing may be debatable in some minds.
However, I feel it has served me thus far and led me to recognize the open perspectives (non-dogmatic, non-restrictive) that Laura and Bernhard share.
The extensive compilation of their research and studies is vastly rich and more than generous. Beyond that, Laura and Bernhard clearly practice and immerse themselves in their areas of expertise.
It is apparent that the information they share has been digested, probed, interpreted, and analyzed by them so as to not only share this information but offer a guide to understand more deeply what is being shared, while also respecting the level of discernment of each participant in the program to arrive at their understanding in relation to their personal journey.
They provide a very nurturing, yet not over-reaching experience, thereby respecting the autonomy of the individual participants.
My intention for taking the course was ultimately exceeded as it lead me to receive what I deeply required to continue my inner work.
The result of taking this course was beyond what my mind thought it wanted (LOL. isn't that always the way when God is guiding you? It seems so for me at least & for that I am humbly grateful).
I know and feel that I have come to embody my Divine self as a result. And to be honest, I had no expectation that this would actually occur, but it did. That does not mean my work is complete. It likely never will be.
But I have a profoundly anchored sense of self now, and I know this foundation will serve my higher self as I continue this life's work.
I have so much Gratitude for Laura, Bernhard, Michaela (their amazingly supportive assistant) the other guest teachers, and not least of all the beautiful spirit warriors who participated in this session of Embodied Soul Awakening.
And of course, ultimate Grace and Gratitude to God Source and the Divine Creator to whom I forged a deeply profound Union with during this positively life-changing experience.
I look forward to continuing the journey. Thank you from my full heart."
- EROS E.
“I wanted to take this course to understand myself and others, get a better idea on how to connect to my true self and find my spirituality and I wanted to learn how to meditate.
I didn’t know where to start on my own, and this course laid it all out wonderfully, and the accountability really helped to get me started.
I was very intimidated and way out of my comfort zone. I have a hard time articulating myself, especially when sharing with a group. Major public speaking fears!
Laura and Bernhard (and all my coursemates) gave me a safe space to be vulnerable and practice sharing with a group.
I feel I do understand myself and my traumas much better, which will help me in my healing journey.
I love and learned so much with this experience and met strong, compassionate and beautiful people along the way.”
“This course really came to me at the right time. I was looking for a course that also includes spiritual work and the world events, not only emotional or psychological work.
The holistic approach of Bernhard and Laura is really amazing. This course is so complete.
Personally, I was looking mostly to ways to connect with the Divine, and this is also one of the main subjects of this course.
I have been always very head-oriented and focused on the outside, and I’m so grateful that this course helped me to get a deeper connection with myself.
When I’m now oriented to the outside, part of my focus is in my body, which is a completely new experience for me. It feels like a profound base to explore my connection with the Divine further.”
- SUE L.
“This course interested me because I know that there is a depth to spiritual teachings that are not found in other courses like they are here.
I personally wanted to overcome the fear of my shadow side and of life in general.
I am still working on this course, and every time I work with it, I understand more deeply that we are so conditioned by our conditioning that it takes great courage to see what one is holding on to and what patterns they are following without conscious knowing.
I came to see that I am not alone in my woundedness and that I am a warrior at heart.
I love the way that Bernhard and Laura do not play a savior role, as I have had enough of following those who do.
They offer the tools and practices; it is then totally up to oneself whether to apply them and learn to embody them in one's own life. That is real empowerment to me.
What I am getting out of this course is that it is up to me what I do with what it offers. Also, be willing to see things differently.
I highly suggest this course to whoever is willing to take the time to dig deep and to find that there really is gold buried within.”

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS
Bernhard Guenther
Bernhard Guenther is a psycho-spiritual researcher, teacher, and guide whose work explores the deeper architecture of reality and the evolutionary challenges facing humanity at this critical threshold.
With over two decades of intensive study and inner work, his path integrates esoteric wisdom, occult knowledge, depth psychology, trauma healing, shadow integration, and a clear-eyed understanding of hyperdimensional forces that influence human consciousness.
Raised in Germany and based in the United States, Bernhard’s awakening was catalyzed by profound initiatory experiences that pierced the veil of consensus reality. This set him on a lifelong quest to uncover the hidden mechanisms behind suffering, spiritual deception, and the manipulation of human perception.
He is the founder of Piercing the Veil of Reality, a platform dedicated to guiding sincere seekers through the labyrinth of personal and collective transformation.
He also co-hosts The Cosmic Matrix podcast with his wife, Laura Matsue Guenther, where they dive deep into conversations on embodiment, spiritual warfare, psychological growth, esoteric wisdom, and navigating the complexities of our times.
Bernhard’s work is not for the faint of heart. It is a call to the soul, an invitation to step outside the illusions of the matrix and engage the path of radical self-inquiry, spiritual resilience, and conscious evolution with self-responsibility.
He offers online courses, private mentoring, and retreats designed to support those ready to reclaim their inner essence and align with their deeper purpose.
In a time of accelerated change and increasing distortion, Bernhard stands as a bridge between worlds, guiding others to remember who they truly are, why they are here, and how to navigate the unseen with courage, discernment, and truth.
