Welcome Changemakers, Cultural Creatives, and Visionaries!
Do you want to bridge the gap between where you are now and the potential you have to create impactful change in the world?
Are you already making a difference, but want to increase your traction while experiencing what it’s like to be held in a like-minded community?
If either of these is true, then you’re in the right place!
You’re here because you’re not just dreaming of a better world… You’re ready to make it happen!
Transformation includes but also goes beyond personal growth; it’s about being of service, contributing to creating the world you want to live in: a place where you can be in harmony within yourself, with others, and with nature.
Imagine bridging the vast chasm between your current reality and the profound impact you know you’re meant to create. It’s not just about growth; it’s about revolutionizing the way we connect with ourselves, each other, and the planet.
That’s what the Kalapa Integral Mastery Program is all about – a unique blend of personal development, in meaningful connection within our learning community, combined with actionable tools and skills for the pressing challenges of our times.
This program isn’t just another course — it’s a life-upleveling journey curated over 30 years by me, Alan Rafael Seid, in a dedicated search for finding the answers to the question: what will it take to turn around conditions on planet Earth? My multi-decade search for wisdom, Earth healing, and transformative practices led to a deep exploration of the highest caliber tools, processes, and modalities — and it all comes together in this comprehensive program.
The Kalapa Integral Mastery Program is not only an empowerment curriculum for Changemakers. It is also a developmental pathway designed to awaken and empower.
In the Kalapa Integral Mastery Program, you’ll connect with other Changemakers who share your passion for making a difference. It’s a place where your personal growth aligns with global transformation. In this learning community you will access some of the most powerful methodologies, tools, and processes for living in harmony within yourself, with others, and with the planet.
And if you’ve been on this path for some time, we welcome your contributions!
This is more than a simple invitation — it’s a call to step into your power and join a community committed to meaningful change!
A Tapestry of Challenges
In a world that’s changing faster than ever, we face a tapestry of challenges that call us to step in and step up — your highest potential calls to you.
As Changemakers, we can no longer ignore the urgency of the ecological and social crises that confront us. It’s a time of unparalleled change, where some problems are improving, while others are escalating at an alarming rate.
The Kalapa Integral Mastery Program recognizes these challenges — the deep-seated loneliness pervading modern society, the crisis of meaning that leaves even the most successful among us feeling empty and unfulfilled, increasing social inequality forcing so many to struggle, and humanity’s profound disconnection from our natural world…
These aren’t just abstract issues — they’re real, they’re here, and they’re now.
Our planet is going through the largest extinction period since the dinosaurs, driven by human activity! We are witnessing the destruction of ecological integrity and stability, not just in terms of climate change but in the very fabric of Earth’s biosphere. This destruction stems from a deeper issue — our disconnection from nature and from each other. This disconnect is part of what fuels the epidemic of loneliness and the absence of purpose in our lives.
If not me, who? If not now, when?
The even bigger issue is not that humans are bad or evil — it is that we are not evolved enough yet! The loneliness, isolation, and disconnection — the blindness about our impacts on nature — the poverty and the violence — these are all symptoms of a consciousness waiting to truly embrace all of life as one. We are not separate.
These challenges are calling each of us — including you — to step up.
The world needs your unique contribution, your energy, and your commitment to make a difference!
To effectively address these monumental issues, you need more than just awareness — you need actionable solutions, tools, and a community that supports and amplifies your efforts.
The urgency has never been greater. The need for empowered, conscious individuals who can lead the way in creating positive change is clear.
The question is, if you are already on your path, will you join this community of visionary Changemakers, and if you are not yet making the difference you want to make, will you answer this call?

Introducing the
Kalapa Integral Mastery Program
not your ordinary workshop, but a beacon for those who dare to lead the change.
The Kalapa Integral Mastery Program is a year-long journey, in community, traveling around the wheel of our 8 Modules which are organized along the directions of the compass. Each module elaborates on core competencies such as relationship building, lifestyle design, financial clarity, and nature connection.
Our 2025 Cohort begins September 2024 in the West Module, which will also provide the theme for the year.
The yearly theme allows us to traverse the entire curriculum while also going deeper in a specific area.
Here are the 8 Modules in brief:
Northwest
Grief work and ancestral healing to overcome generational patterns and welcome more joy.
North
Developing a conceptual understanding of the world in which everything fits together and makes sense.
Northeast
Integrated Personal Practice and Spiritual Cross-Training — this is where the rubber meets the road in your personal evolution.
West
Building and sustaining community, and working well in groups.
East
Getting along with others, building effective relationships, knowing how to speak your truth in a way that is more likely to lead to harmony than conflict.
Southwest
Developing a deep connection with Nature and Earth through practices like Nature Awareness and Permaculture Design.
South
Clarity and empowerment around work, money, and income, including entrepreneurship.
Southeast
Lifestyle Design and Visioning & Manifesting — to create the life that most empowers you to thrive and make a positive difference.

2025 Cohort launches September 2024
This cycle’s theme will be the West: Building and Sustaining Community and Working Well in Groups.
This course has five pillars:
Content
Including tools, processes, modalities, handouts, and worksheets!
Skill-building
Opportunities for practice because having a tool and being skillful with that tool are different!
Community-building
Support, connection, camaraderie, new friends and colleagues!
Coaching
Ask your questions and get support during our group calls!
Guest Speakers and Presenters
Bringing you pioneers, visionaries, and experts in diverse fields!
This year-long journey in community consists of weekly calls, focusing on each area of the 8 areas of the Kalapa curriculum.
We will spend approximately 6 weeks in each Module, weaving our yearly theme throughout.
The course includes content presentations, Q&A sessions, community-building through authentic relating and other games, networking opportunities, skill-building practice, and support calls.
From mastering the art of community-building in the West to unlocking financial empowerment in the South, every direction leads to a new frontier of your potential.
Themes and Yearly Focus:
Each year of the Kalapa program draws on a specific theme, starting with our East Module, Nonviolent Communication, in 2020 and moving through the compass in subsequent years.
The theme for the 2025 cohort (which kicks off September 17, 2024) is Kalapa’s West Module: building and sustaining community and working well in groups.
2025 is your year — the year you take it to the next level for yourself, and if you haven’t yet, step into your power, connect with nature on a profound level, and design a life that not only thrives but makes a difference.

The Big Why of Kalapa
This video goes over the 12 Conditions that make up Kalapa’s Big Why
Not for Everyone
Kalapa is a transformative journey dedicated to empowering Positive Change Agents, and is not for everyone.
This program is not for you if:
You’re Seeking Quick Fixes
If you’re looking for instant solutions — without a commitment to deep, personal growth and long-term positive change — Kalapa Integral Mastery Program (KIMP) may not align with your expectations.
You Prefer Surface-Level Engagement
KIMP delves deeply into personal and planetary issues. It’s probably not for you if you are not willing or ready to go deep into your own potentials for growth and service.
You Are Unwilling to Challenge Existing Beliefs
This program encourages questioning and reevaluating long-held beliefs. If you’re not open to this level of introspection and change, KIMP might not be the best fit.
You’re Not Interested in Collaborative Learning
Kalapa is about community, sharing, and learning together. KIMP is not for those who prefer to work entirely independently or are not open to diverse perspectives.
You’re Not Committed to Practical Application
KIMP’s greatest value is in its application. This program is for individuals ready to apply what they learn to make real-world changes. If you’re not interested in applying what you learn to create positive impact, this may not be the right program for you.
You Expect a Conventional Learning Structure
Kalapa’s approach is unique, integrating various methodologies and tools. If you prefer traditionally structured learning environments, you might find Kalapa’s innovative style challenging.
About your Host and Co-Convener
Alan Rafael Seid
A Journey of Service and Transformation
Alan Rafael Seid, Founder of Kalapa and a beacon for positive change, has dedicated his life to empowering individuals and communities. Growing up bilingual and bicultural in Mexico City, Alan’s Kalapa journey began at 16, when he committed to being part of the solution for a harmonious coexistence with our planet and each other.
By 18, he recognized his life’s purpose was in service and contribution, beyond traditional employment. At 21, Alan embraced the Financial Integrity Program from Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez, mastering clarity and empowerment in his own financial matters.
At 27, his savings enabled a seven-year odyssey of intensive learning during which he took every course, seminar, and retreat he could find in personal development and ecological living. During this period, Alan became a Certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication, earned a Certificate in Permaculture Design, engaged deeply with the Wilderness Awareness School, and researched and studied meditation, intentional community, and conflict resolution.
He also studied Integral Theory, taught the 8-Shields Model with Jon Young’s blessing, and found his dream property, establishing a base for community living and for sharing his work.
Alan’s passion lies in working with those committed to personal growth and global betterment.
Alan Rafael Seid’s life embodies play, humor, trust, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to nurturing positive, long-term change.
