The First Gate - ONLINE
What could still become available to you?
Eight months · Worldwide · Application required
Continue Your Development…Wherever You Are
Perhaps you’ve spent years exploring yourself through meditation, bodywork, energy work, spiritual practices or other approaches. You’ve learned a great deal, experienced meaningful changes and developed a deeper understanding of yourself. Yet you may also have reached a point where much of what you encounter feels familiar, even though you sense your development is far from finished.
Perhaps you’ve been listening to Anandi, watching the work and hearing her speak about the physical body, layers of self, energy, perception, stillness and consciousness. Something about her perspective may have raised questions you haven’t encountered elsewhere, or helped you recognise that there could be much more to discover than your present experience allows you to see.
What if knowing yourself deeply isn’t the end of your development?
The First Gate is your eight-month online entry into the peiec® pathway, where you’ll begin learning directly from Anandi and developing through self-application, practice, receiving, observation and ongoing participation. For some women, this becomes the beginning of a much longer journey, as their own development continues revealing more to explore.
“I realised I wasn’t finished growing. The First Gate gave me a place to keep exploring, with people who understood the journey.” – Suzanne
Who This Is For
You’ve already explored bodywork, energy work, meditation, therapy, movement, retreats or other forms of personal or spiritual development.
You’ve spent time listening to Anandi or exploring peiec® and feel genuinely interested in learning directly from her.
You’re curious about how your physical body, layers of self, energy, perception, stillness and consciousness may continue developing together.
You’re not looking for another collection of short experience to add to everything you’ve already done.
You’re willing to practise, receive, observe and participate with others, recognising that development takes place over time.
You’re open to the possibility of walking this pathway beyond eight months because you want to continue discovering what may become available.
You don’t need to want to become a professional practitioner or have advanced energetic sensitivity. What matters is your genuine interest in Anandi’s work, your willingness to begin with yourself and your openness to ongoing development.
Why learn with Anandi
peiec® did not come through an established lineage or arise from Anandi combining existing teachings. It began emerging through her own direct experience and continued unfolding as she worked with people and began teaching others.
Much of the work arose during live teaching, without Anandi knowing beforehand what would emerge. Over the years, peiec® continued expanding across the physical body, layers of self, energy, touch, space, perception, stillness and consciousness. As the work developed, so did Anandi herself.
Today, Anandi continues teaching and exploring what further development can make available, both in herself and in the students who have chosen to walk this pathway with her.
If you’ve been listening to Anandi and feel drawn to understand what she is exploring, The First Gate is where you can begin learning directly from her.
What You’ll Experience & Develop
Eight months gives you something a weekend cannot: time to practise, notice, receive, question, change and return. What you notice in the beginning may not be what you notice months later. You are not simply completing material. You are developing the person who is using it.
- Eight months of guided practice and learning – Foundation material included; no prerequisites needed.
- Apply peiec® techniques to yourself first –for your own body, energy, and daily life.
- Practice with willing partners or animals – as your experience develops.
- Weekly Online Live group sessions: Practice, breakout rooms, questions, real-time feedback.
- Connect with a worldwide student community –learn from and with women at every stage, from new students to those with years of experience.
- Receive support and guidance –bring questions, notice differences, deepen your perception and stillness.
- Not simply a course, but an environment for ongoing development.
Why peiec is taught this way
Learning, Practice and Ongoing Development
Learning a technique and developing the person applying it are not the same thing. As perception, stillness and responsiveness develop, what becomes available through the work may change too. This is why peiec® involves ongoing practice, giving, receiving and learning alongside others rather than simply completing lessons.
If you’re new to Anandi, we encourage you to watch this teaching and spend some time exploring her perspective before applying.
Can peiec® Really Be Learned Online?
Yes. Although peiec® was originally taught in person, The First Gate brings together Anandi’s filmed teaching and demonstrations with live group learning, practice, receiving and feedback. You’ll have opportunities to work directly with other students, ask questions and learn alongside women at different stages of development.
Your development is not limited by where you live. You can participate from anywhere in the world without needing to attend in-person events.

- Self-application and beyond: Everything begins with you; practice with others is included as you progress.
The Beginning of a Pathway That Can Keep Unfolding
The First Gate provides eight months of guided learning, practice, receiving and participation within the wider peiec® student community. You’ll begin with the foundational and advanced teachings and continue developing your own experience alongside women at different stages of their journey.
Some students have remained with peiec® for many years. Not because they haven’t finished learning, but because their understanding, perception, stillness and experience of themselves have continued changing, and with each development, further questions and possibilities have emerged.
For women in the second half of life, this can be a particularly meaningful enquiry. Having already lived, learned and explored so much, there may still be aspects of themselves and their capacities they haven’t yet encountered.
Your initial commitment is eight months, and continuing afterwards is always your choice. But if you’re looking for a pathway you may wish to walk for years, rather than a course with a fixed endpoint, The First Gate is where that journey can begin.
Frequently Asked
Do I need to finish The Foundation first?
No. The Foundation is included in The First Gate, so you can begin here without completing it separately.
Is this a practitioner training?
The First Gate begins with your own development and learning the work. You don’t need to have practitioner intentions. If you eventually want to work professionally, further practitioner development and certification come later.
Do I need to be very sensitive to energy?
Some awareness of your body or energy, or a genuine willingness to notice subtle changes, is important. You don’t need advanced sensitivity or years of experience.
Will I be learning alone?
No. You’ll be part of a worldwide student group, with weekly live sessions, opportunities to practise, give and receive, and an online community.
Can I join in-person immersions later?
Yes. Eligible students can explore in-person immersion opportunities as they progress. Attendance is not required for The First Gate.
Am I committing to years of study?
No. Your initial commitment is eight months. peiec® is an ongoing developmental pathway, and many women choose to continue because they keep discovering more through the work. Whether you continue beyond The First Gate is your decision.
Ready to Apply?
The First Gate is application-based because your participation matters, both for your own development and for the wider group.
If you’ve spent time exploring Anandi’s teachings and feel genuinely interested in learning directly from her, the next step is a conversation with Krystle. You can discuss your experience, what has drawn you to the work and whether The First Gate is an appropriate place for you to begin.
The First Gate is a multi-four-figure investment in AUD. Krystle will explain the full investment during your conversation, giving you time to consider the commitment before deciding.
If it feels right for both sides, you’ll be invited to join.
