Perhaps you could feel it…
Over the past year, BGI has been up to big things. The Field of the BGI Academy of Mastery has expanded.
Outside of the public eye, we have been hosting a special class of the Academy of Mastery. This class consists of the current North American BGI Instructing Staff who were unable to complete the Mastery Program with Sue Brown, DC. This month, we completed Module 7, and now we are finally ready to share what we have been up to. This class has been essential to build the field for the work presented in the Mastery Program. We have been able to establish clarity and details in the work of BGI on all levels. We have two more modules to go, and we will be graduating this year at BGI 4M.
The 2024 class consists of Liliana Warner, DC; Tonya Tyre, DC; J. Kate Wetterlin-Duga, DC; James Duga, DC; and myself. Jackie Manfre, DC has led the way with deep support and contributions from Will Vogds, DC; Marcia Segura, DC; and Therese Perdidjian, DC (Graduates of the 2013 Academy of Mastery Class). Jackie and I have been rebuilding this program for many months. This has been a wild ride for all involved. Everyone listed has been bravely paving the way for reopening the Mastery Program. We have cried, laughed, and breathed deeply into the work. It has been such an honor, with so much more still to come.
While our work over the last year has been profound, we would have never gotten here without the rich history and legacy Sue left us. Before Bio-Geometric Integration was created, Sue was simply a chiropractor and educator. We call her a Chiropractic Master because it is true, but she never desired to be on a pedestal. She recognized our individual genius and was never interested in creating “little Sues.” She was dedicated to creating a playground for the development of individual Mastery in Chiropractic and in the world.
BGI has evolved organically, adding more seminars and material as the field revealed itself. First, there was BGI 1, then BGI 2. Before long, BGI 3 was developed. For many years BGI 3 was utilized by Sue to present the ever-growing new material the field was unfolding. Eventually, the BGI 3 material was so vast that it became clear that yet another seminar needed to be added, BGI 4M. It is the place where we present new and advanced ideas and create community. BGI 4M is both very advanced and yet also just a taste of the Mastery concepts.
An entirely new set of seminars needed to be born to create clarity and honor for the next evolution of BGI material. Thus, the BGI Academy of Mastery was born. The first class of the Mastery Program was presented by Sue and completed in 2013, and she was able to continue with graduating a second class in 2014. By 2015, the third class could not be finished due to Sue completing her life journey.
Although the requests for the Mastery Program to be reinstated never ceased, the field and the community just weren’t ready yet. In 2022, something shifted. The field of BGI 4M 2022 expanded to a level that hadn’t been experienced since Sue was leading. The next step was clear, and the field was ready to reopen. It was time to begin the process of reopening the BGI Academy of Mastery.
So here we are, ready to continue Sue’s legacy. We have taken years to prepare and many paths to come to this point. I am so honored to announce that the 2026 Academy of Mastery Class will begin in September 2024. Applications will be open soon, followed by interviews.
Will you be a part of the next step in BGI’s evolution? Will you create a revolution for yourself, BGI, Chiropractic, and the world?
I hope you will.
