This is a small, high-touch practitioner training for personal and professional growth.
Unlike most programs, each cohort is limited to 15 people.
Is this you...?
You know that the quality of your life is shaped by the choices you make.
And if those choices are driven by unconscious fear, conditioning or reactivity, change doesn’t last.
In your life
You’ve seen that knowledge, understanding and even regulating the body isn’t always enough…
Something deeper is driving personal suffering and relational drama.
You’re ready to expand your understanding of the patterns that shape behaviour, relationships and emotional reactions - not just at the surface, but at the level of personal identification where they’re created.
In your calling
You feel drawn to helping others grow in self-awareness and self responsibility.
But you also recognise that this work begins with your own development and integration.
You’re not just looking to understand this work…
you’re looking to embody it and to bring it into both your own life and the way you support others.
In your work
You know that real, lasting change doesn’t come from surface-level tools or quick fixes.
You’re looking for a pathway that stands on its own and/or integrates seamlessly into the work you already do.
A way to work at the level of the survival mind,
where personal identification takes shape and behaviour is driven.
A depth that creates holistic, sustainable change and a natural confidence that comes from living the work.
Many people feel this calling. The Self Enquiry Practitioner Training turns that into a grounded, professional pathway
so you can live the work and share it.
And without realising it, we become identified with it.
Self Enquiry works at this level. The level of identification.
Not by trying to regulate or manage internal responses, but by learning to see it clearly and step out of it through embodied awareness.
And when that happens:
-
Conditioned reactions no longer take over
-
Patterns begin to lose their grip
-
Safety is no longer something you chase
It’s what remains when you’re no longer identified with the survival mind.
Your choices reflect that clarity, shaping how you respond to life and relate to others.
This isn’t about managing, adding or fixing.
It’s about no longer being controlled by unconscious fear.
This is the level you learn to work at as a Self Enquiry Practitioner.
Our Difference
.jpg)
Most approaches focus on the mind, trying to fix problems, change beliefs, manage emotions or improve yourself through mindset techniques and strategies.
More recently, the focus has shifted to the body.
You’re told your nervous system is protecting you.
That your body holds trauma.
That you need to feel safe before anything can change.
There’s truth in this.
But it doesn’t go far enough.
What drives reaction patterns, habits and cycles isn’t just the body.
It’s the Survival Mind.
The part of us that feels unsafe.
That needs protection.
That reacts.
That holds the story of who we are.
That never feels quite enough.
"I first started seeing Chris 1:1, and his presence, radical honesty, wisdom, curiosity, authenticity, understanding, and perspective on reality had a profound effect on me. It’s the most refreshing experience I’ve ever had in a therapeutic setting.
I then took the opportunity to sign up for the Practitioner Course, which became the foundation for my full recovery from an eating disorder and the work I now support others with today.
I now share this work professionally as a Self Enquiry Practitioner since 2024. Over the past year, I’ve been seeing clients and have recently been invited to work in a specialist eating disorder clinic in Brisbane. It feels surreal to share Self Enquiry alongside psychologists and dieticians, supporting others walking a similar path to the one I did.
Nothing lights me up more than sharing this work and witnessing others come home to themselves. The gratitude and love I have for this work, Chris, Tess, and this community feels as vast as the sky"
No gurus, just you.
You don’t need to fix people, have all the answers or position yourself as an authority to support meaningful change in others.
What matters most is your own direct experience of living beyond the survival mind in real time.
From there, you learn a practical framework that:
-
Guides people to see what’s driving their reactions in real time
-
Removes the pressure on you to have the answers
-
Works at the root of suffering and conflict, not just surface symptoms
-
Supports clients to find their own clarity and take responsibility
-
Is grounded in lived experience and practical application
-
Is accredited and eligible for professional insurance through BMS
The Practitioner Pathway
The Self Enquiry Practitioner Pathway is a professional training that develops both your personal embodiment of this work and your ability to guide others through it.
The pathway includes:
Personal Embodiment
Learning to recognise and unwind the unconscious patterns of the survival mind through our signature course, live integration sessions, core teachings and direct mentoring.
Facilitation Skills
Developing the capacity to guide individuals and groups through Self Enquiry, which involves 3 core methods: The Enquiry Process (F.R.E.E), Self Recognition Practices and Relational R.E.P.A.I.R.
Certification
Recognised by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT), this pathway supports you to offer this work as a certified and insurable modality.
Professional Support
Ongoing mentorship, community and resources to support your continued integration and development as a practitioner.

What you will learn?
Many approaches focus on understanding the mind.
Others focus on regulating the nervous system and working with the body.
Self Enquiry brings these together and works at the level where patterns are created and sustained.
Self Enquiry combines three core methods that integrate into real life.
The Enquiry Process (F.R.E.E)
A structured process to work through triggers, limiting beliefs and emotional patterns that drive behaviour and create suffering.
Self Recognition Practices
Practices rooted in direct experience to develop the ability to witness thoughts, emotions, body sensations and personal stories without becoming overwhelmed or reactive.
Relational R.E.P.A.I.R
A structured method to take responsibility within relational dynamics, interrupt patterns of disconnection and restore trust through honest communication and grounded action.
On their own, each process has value. Together, they have the power to
synergistically enhance all underlying aspects of someone’s life.
Rather than trying to manage thoughts or regulate emotions, you are given a clear, practical way to work at the root of what’s driving behaviour.
This develops the capacity to witness experience without becoming personally identified or overwhelmed by it.
The Enquiry Process (F.R.E.E)
integrates self-awareness, somatic release, advanced communication and relational skills into one clear framework.
What's Inside the Self Enquiry Course
The Foundations Course introduces the key psychological and awareness-based principles that underpin the Self Enquiry process. These subjects help practitioners understand how unconscious patterns of the survival mind develop and how the process of disidentification interrupts reactive behaviour.

The Embodiment Tracker
Learning the principles of this work is only the beginning. Real confidence develops through consistent practice and lived experience.
Rather than simply completing lessons, the Embodiment Tracker helps you actively apply this work in your own life and in real sessions with others.
Through the tracker, you will record and reflect on:
Self Recognition Practices
Building your baseline of presence and awareness.
Personal Self Enquiry
The ongoing work of identifying and processing your own unconscious patterns.
Guided Sessions with Others
Track 40 practice sessions to build real-world facilitation experience with our community members.
Breath and Tremor Resets
Somatic practices used to regulate the nervous system and ground the body.
Mentorship and Community Integration
Documenting your participation in live sessions, feedback and peer practice.
As your practice develops, the tracker becomes a clear record of your growth, building genuine confidence in your ability to guide others.
By the time you complete the pathway, you won’t just understand the framework, you will have practised it extensively in real situations.
Guiding Others Is Part of the Work
Guiding real people through Self Enquiry is a unique part of this pathway.
When you guide someone, you begin to see what’s actually driving their experience more clearly, not just in them, but in yourself.
For many, this is where the work shifts from understanding into real embodiment.
You don’t need to be looking to do this professionally, but the opportunity is there if it becomes a natural next step.
The Practitioner Journey
Becoming a Self Enquiry Practitioner is not simply about learning techniques or methods. It is a process of developing the capacity to live and facilitate this work with confidence.
The pathway unfolds in three natural stages.
Stage 1 — Personal Transformation
You begin by applying the practices to your own life. Through Self Enquiry, you develop the ability to witness thoughts, emotions and behavioural patterns without becoming trapped in them.
Stage 2 — Guided Practice
As your understanding deepens, you begin facilitating structured enquiry sessions with others. These practice sessions allow you to develop confidence, refine your communication and learn how to hold space for meaningful insight.
Stage 3 — Practitioner Integration
Through mentorship, community support and ongoing practice, the process becomes embodied. By the time you complete the pathway you will not only understand the framework, you will have lived it and practised it extensively with others.
This is what creates genuine confidence in your personal journey and as a practitioner.

The Role & Scope of a Self Enquiry Practitioner
A Self Enquiry Practitioner acts as a skilled guide, rather than a fixer or problem-solver. They are a mirror for inner transformation, shining a light on what gets in the way of truth, authenticity and love.
The role focuses on facilitating three key capacities:
-
Structured Enquiry
-
Relational Repair
-
Self Recognition Guidance
With this certification, you will be equipped to support clients to:
-
Stay present with emotional intensity without becoming overwhelmed or reactive
-
Move beyond the Victim–Perpetrator–Rescuer cycle in real time
-
Navigate relationship dynamics and recurring life challenges with greater clarity
-
Disidentify from limiting beliefs and behavioural habits that shape their choices in all areas of life
-
Develop emotional awareness and the ability to self-regulate during stress
-
Build personal responsibility and resilience in their personal and professional lives
-
Access presence beyond reactive thoughts and automatic emotional states
-
Integrate insight into action, turning awareness into practical change in daily life
Application in Practice
As a certified Self Enquiry Practitioner, you are qualified to facilitate our unique tools with individuals and groups. This qualification is designed to integrate naturally within coaching, therapies, wellbeing and personal development practices.
Integrated Pathways
Self Enquiry stands alone as a complete modality and integrates seamlessly into existing practices.
Working with the survival mind reveals the missing piece behind lasting, holistic change, where personal identification takes shape.
Self Enquiry integrates naturally with:
-
Coaching and Mentoring – bringing emotional depth and awareness to results-driven models
-
Counselling and Psychotherapy – complementing talk therapy with direct, embodied enquiry
-
Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork – uniting somatic and psychological awareness
-
Holistic and Energetic Therapies – addressing the root cause of imbalance through awareness itself
-
Health and Wellness Professions – supporting behavioural change, resilience and emotional health
-
Leadership, Education, and Facilitation – cultivating conscious communication and authentic presence
Whether you’re beginning a new career or expanding an existing one, Self Enquiry provides the framework, embodiment and depth to support profound transformation for yourself and those you guide.
Your Facilitators
.jpg)
The Self Enquiry Practitioner Pathway is facilitated by Chris Knight and Tess Mallett, creators and founders of the Self Enquiry framework and the Freedom Together community.
What they discovered is this...
Lasting change does not come from managing thoughts, regulating emotions, or working on the body alone.
It comes from disidentifying from the survival mind that creates the patterns in the first place.
This level of work is rarely addressed directly because it challenges the very identity most people are still trying to protect, improve, validate or fix.
Over more than a decade of working with individuals and couples, they kept seeing the same thing.
No matter how much someone understood their situation, or how much work they had done, the same reactions, behaviours and relational dynamics continued to repeat.
Not because people weren’t trying or willing,
but because the ‘self’ experiencing the problem remained unquestioned.
This led to a deeper question:
Who is the ‘I’ that is suffering?
Who is resisting reality?
What is actually driving these patterns?
Through years of direct work and refinement, they developed Self Enquiry as a holistic approach that reveals the survival mind and its predictable patterns, and supports disidentification from the unconscious beliefs, emotional reactions and defensive behaviours that continue reactive patterns and cycles of suffering.
As the capacity for disidentification grows, people don’t just understand their patterns
They experience a real shift in how they meet life, relationships and themselves.
This is the work they teach and what they have devoted their lives to.
It isn’t separate from how they live or relate. The quality of their life and relationship, and the love shared, is a reflection of the depth of their own Self Enquiry.

"I cannot actually express in words the gratitude I have to you both, Chris and Tess, for simply being who you are, modelling your own freedom and sharing the gift of your clarity, purity and love through your existence and the creation of this work!"
M. Lomas ~ Bodyworker
What You Receive On This Life Changing Journey
Personal Transformation
The Work
Over a minimum of six months, you’ll go through a profound personal transformation by learning how to live beyond the survival mind.
Through our signature Self Enquiry Course, monthly mentorship, weekly Integration Sessions, daily awareness practices and Self Recognition meditations, you’ll uncover and dissolve unconscious patterns, cultivate emotional freedom and experience the depth of self-awareness that makes this work authentic to share in your personal and professional life. This is where the patterns that have shaped your life begin to lose their grip.
"The course is what it truly means to be the change you want to see in the world. This has transformed my life unlike anything I've done before!"
Sally B.
Enquiry Process
( F.R.E.E )
The Enquiry Process (F.R.E.E) is our exclusive approach to working with the survival mind. The F.R.E.E method has been developed through years of lived experience and real-world application with thousands of clients and students from across the globe.
Through guided somatic practices and precise enquiry questions, you’ll learn to recognise and release the unconscious patterns that drive fear, control and emotional reactivity. This framework empowers you to meet life’s challenges with awareness instead of resistance, restoring openness, authenticity and emotional freedom in yourself and those you support.
This is the framework you can’t find anywhere else, it’s what makes Freedom Together truly unique and what sets this work apart in how it’s applied in real life.
"This work has changed the way I experience my reality entirely, and I am in a constant state of gratitude for this. Every time a challenge presents, it is yet just another gift to point me back home."
Maja K ~
Relational R.E.P.A.I R
Repair Method
Relational R.E.P.A.I.R is our structured approach to working with conflict, disconnection and emotional reactivity in real time. Developed through years of lived experience with individuals and couples, this process brings Enquiry into relationship, where patterns are most activated and visible.
Rather than avoiding conflict or managing it at the surface, you’ll learn to recognise the unconscious patterns that drive defensiveness, control, resentment and withdrawal while stepping out of the Victim–Perpetrator–Rescuer cycle and restoring connection through awareness and responsibility.
This is the work where understanding becomes lived and the war begins to end.
It’s what allows you to stay connected when it matters and rebuild trust from a grounded, embodied place.
"What an absolute blessing to have this work in my life! Decades of healing modalities and absolutely nothing compares to the support and love felt in these sessions. This is true enlightenment, with real tangible tools to help navigate the absolute highs and lows of life. So grateful for the reflection of Chris & Tess that has supported me in every part of my world, especially my relationship!"
Jess R ~ Social Media Manager
Self Recognition
Guided Meditation
True facilitation begins with self recognition. These guided meditations help you embody awareness beyond thought, emotion, and conditioning, which is the foundation of all authentic guidance. Rather than trying to hold space, the space you offer is a reflection of your own internal state. From here, the work moves naturally through you.
As this becomes lived, by meeting your own patterns and projections with clarity and compassion, you naturally guide others not from effort, but from what you are already resting in. This practice deepens self-awareness and emotional intelligence, allowing you to guide from stillness, understanding and genuine connection.
"I’ve begun to experience the inner peace I’d previously only touched in brief moments of meditation. The changes feel subtle from the inside, yet when I notice how I move through the world with more steadiness and gentleness, the depth of the transformation becomes clear."
Natalie G ~ Psychotherapist
High Touch Support
Live Weekly Integration Session & Monthy Mentoring
It’s rare for an online course to offer live weekly sessions and live monthly mentoring with the founders.
As a practitioner-in-training, these sessions will be your ongoing anchor. This is where you will witness enquiry in real time, receive direct guidance and be supported by others walking the same path. You’ll observe how unconscious patterns reveal themselves through conversation, how facilitation unfolds naturally and how presence transforms relationship dynamics.
Each session deepens your embodiment of The Work and refines your ability to recognise, enquire and respond with clarity. It’s where theory becomes lived experience and where the practice of Self Enquiry truly comes alive.
"I've been doing similar work for the last 16 years, listening to and following guidance from many incredible teachers. However, the guidance offered, and the structure provided by Chris & Tess in Freedom Together is unlike anything I could have imaged as far as constant and such direct support goes."
Maya L ~ Therapist & Bodyworker
Partnership Program
This is a win-win for everyone
You don’t have to re-create the wheel. The full system is already here for you.
As a certified Self Enquiry Practitioner, you and your clients work within the Freedom Together ecosystem: the course, the meditations, the live integration sessions and the community are all built for you to share. This means you can focus on what matters most, guiding your clients through real transformation without having to build everything from scratch.
While your clients are working with you, they receive free access to the Freedom Together community. When their sessions finish, they can choose to stay connected as paying members, and when they do, you’ll receive 30% of their ongoing membership subscription for as long as they remain part of the community.
It’s a true win-win: your clients continue their journey of growth, you’re rewarded for the impact you’ve made, and together we expand a living network of awareness, authenticity and freedom as a lifestyle choice and way of being.
"I feel so supported knowing my clients can access all the resources from Freedom Together, and I can guide them through it. It's a master stroke that has empowered me with the confidence to share this work!"
