So what are these seasons and why are they important? The season of Discover is the self- discovery process of becoming aware of how you have kept parts of yourself separate from the whole of you.

Season of Awaken: SRI stages 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 Season of Transform: SRI stages 4, 5, 6 & 7 To begin the 3 basic seasons are called Discover, Transform and Awaken.
