- 5 Day Challenge -
Less digital.
More real.
Imagine a fully lived life for one M.A.G.I.C. week.
This is an Invitation To...
- Remember how to appreciate your life: like you just died and came back. (Even if you've been stuck in depressing thoughts for years).
- Take the time to nourish your soul (especially if you've got a thousand things in the way).
- Hey, hero. Most people die with a haunting list of regrets. Become an everyday hero to those unfortunates by living your authentic life (even if your energy has been up and down).
- Commit to creating more joy in your life, while others argue on social media and stare mindlessly into screens.
'Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.'
- Alan Watts
This protocol has been refined over a decade of helping ambitious souls level up their lives.

Welcome to a 'Soulful' Challenge
First of all, I dislike most challenges because they are scams. Fake shortcuts, dangling carrots, etc.
Welcome to a different kind of challenge: a practical 5 day training, designed to dramtically improve your life by rewiring your body.
No tapping required.
No strict diets.
No painful pressure points.
I'll bring a more holistic perspective into your life, connect loose threads, and inspire you to level up to your destined purpose.
No matter what your traumas have been.
This begins in the moment, by installing more M.A.G.I.C. moments into your life.
Simple premise. Delicate art.
Heroes rise out of challenges.
Do you wake up in the morning excited to charge at life?!
Or do you drag pained bones out of bed like Ebenezer Scrooge or The Grinch?
What We Will Do in the Challenge.
- Cut away the parts that matter the least. Focus.
- Gather up your scattered attention, redirect to long-forgotten dreams. Focus.
- Community: Connect with other souls on the path of actual healing.
- Get out of bodily suffering and make your body an ally.
5 Life-Changing Lessons: structured for practicality.
I've done thousands of hours of sessions with clients on healing their lifelong traumas and childhood patterns, both 'esoterically', 'energetically', 'emotionally', and 'physically.'
I've also gathered timeless wisdom from thousands of books from nearly every source imaginable.
In 5 lessons, I'm going to give you the diamond of those hours.
We'll make precise, proven, powerful life adjustments that my clients have used to make their 'impossible' life shifts.
Welcome to simple, holistic practical tools that actually make a difference.
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” - Chinese Proverb
Why the pain in your weather-beaten bones doesn't matter.
For at least a decade I conducted cutting-edge somatic trauma release sessions, using my Philomela Protocol™, which were designed to mirror my own near-death experience.
These are direct, private, hands-on sessions where lifelong traumas (and sometimes 'past life' traumas) were compassionately purged from the system (with much howling, wailing, tears).
So I understand when Neitzsche says:
“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.”
In every case, nearly everything the client thought they knew about their problems were wrong.
In every case, their condition was healed and other areas of life dramatically improved. (Some fell back into patterns later without guidance).
I learned this modality from a few renegade 'Shaman' women in the Bay Area. It contains nothing anyone has ever heard of.
It is not:
TRE, Somatic Experience, MDMR, Tapping, Plant medicine.
It is simpler, and much more profound.
The pain doesn't only 'matter', it is the signpost back to your destiny.
Enrollment for this experience is currently open.

Full immersion.
Final Result:
A Happier Baseline.
More awareness around chronic patterns.
Emotional Healing.
Map for going forward.
By getting out of the traps that have held you hostage, you'll begin to free yourself up from the bonds of the past.
This Program Is For:
Conscious Leaders, Creatives, Entrepreneurs, Parents.
Beginner or advanced, these strategies will support your healing...
You don't have to change the world...
Simply change the way you interact with your world.
Day 1. Forget it all.
First, we'll have to shake up all of the nonsense we learned about healing and awakening, and lay new groundwork for the journey going forward.
Day 2. Rewrite your story.
You'll learn the secret to creating a story that has your life feeling like a game rigged for you to win (instead of the opposite). This is the key foundation to building a life that has you thrilled to get out of bed each day.
Day 3. Body gratitude.
The body is the instrument for living life, and everything we learned about it was wrong. Here are the clues to how it actually works.
Learn to stop living so much in 'the head' and to come down into the glorious body.
Day 4. Clear your head.
Negativity destroys most lives.
Perfection plagues most people.
Distraction destroys destinies.
Learn to love the mechanics of your unique mind, so that you can unleash yourself upon the world.
Day 5. Map your Life.
Toward life or toward death?
Toward love or toward fear?
I will show you how to choose wisely.

Steven Budden
Leading Breakthrough Coach
Somatic Trauma Release Expert
Author + Creative + Father
Jacksonville Beach, Florida. 2024
I help people come alive and break free of their oldest wounds.
I came into consulting by crash course, literally. A Pacific wave swept in and slammed me headfirst into the ocean floor, breaking my neck. This was around 2008.
When I crawled out of the water... I was suddenly ALIVE for the first time in my life.
And I no longer believed in 'accidents.'
I spent the next few years in apprenticeship with a series of master coaches, healers, shamans.
In working with clients, I follow no creeds, no doctrines, no modalities.
As Rumi wrote:
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
With ‘ruthless compassion’, I help tear down barriers to life/ love. That’s it.
So you can break out of the digital matrix and enter the throb of the life stream.
I'll often break out peerless tools taught to me by lineage-less shamans and rogue therapists. Most of these use the body.
Life happens where our body meets the present moment. In the in-person Philomela™ work, touch surfaces ‘past life’ memories, childhood trauma, shattered hearts. Life’s chaos begins to fall together; things begin to make sense.
I didn't know it at the time, but that early wave that broke me was ‘an invitation to life’s dance!’ I know it now.
I'm here to invite you to dance with your own life (and spare you the crushing blow, if at all possible). To recognize the invitations when they come, and to accept them with open arms when they feel aligned.
Sincerely,
Steven Budden

Testimonials.
His gentle and loving presence acts like a conduit for transferring energies.
I no longer feel sadness, guilt or shame. I don't even know why I felt these emotions and I don't care.
I'm elated by the lightness of being and happiness I feel every awake moment.
Meret Piderman, Entrepreneur
"Since working with Steven, I've launched my first high-end program and am working with some amazing, inspiring women, I've met a wonderful man that I've started dating (after 2 1/2 years of being really, really, really single), and I feel like I'm forming a lot more close relationships in my life.
I'm feeling the walls I've had up for my whole life begin to come down.
Without Steven, so much of what I'm experiencing now wouldn't be possible."
-Anastasia Netri, Transformational Coaching for World-Changing Women
Mike Shur
"I have had many years of physical and emotional pain. I was also told I would never work again due to a severe auto accident, and I have struggled for years.
I worked on all of these issues with the guidance of an incredibly gifted man, and my life has changed.
Thank you Steven, you truly helped me to rebuild my life. I am working, living and so happy again."

Still Have Questions?
Here are a few common questions and answers...
Q: Who is this class for?
Conscious entrepreneurs and creatives looking to bring more joy into the day as they pursue their lofty, far-reaching goals.
Q: Who is this class not for?
People that are content to be discontent, people that are masters of excuses and complaint. AI drones, perhaps. Certain species' of alien, probably.
Q: How much is the training?
There are 2 ways to participate in The Challenge. The General Admission is FREE and the VIP Experience is $197, which includes backstage passes to watch and learn from the Zoom pre-game show as Steven Budden answers Questions of VIP Ticket holders.
Q: How is this different than your other content on these topics?
This is a systematized process designed to take you through a transformation similar to the one I've been guiding clients on for 10 years. It's impossible to transmit until you're there.
Q: Are the challenge classes live?
Yes, classes will be live. Although the classes will be live and recorded you won't be able to purchase the recordings so you will need to watch the challenge live or watch the recordings for the limited time they will be posted in the forum
Q: How does the 5 day challenge work?
Each day the challenge training will run from 12-1pm Eastern, with backstage additional VIP training with questions from Platinum VIP ticket holders from 11am-12pm Eastern each day. In the evening you are encouraged to complete the tasks within the window provided.
Q: Will I get direct feedback from Steven?
Only if you purchase an upgrade of a Platinum VIP ticket, if you have the VIP Experience you will have a virtual backstage pass to watch and learn from the Q & A sessions each day. If you have General Admission you will not have access to listen to the Q&A sessions prior to the general training.
Q: What is a platinum VIP ticket and where can I purchase one?
A platinum VIP ticket is an upgraded ticket that allows you to be guaranteed to ask your question during the VIP session. These tickets are limited to 50 each challenge and are first come, first serve. Doors to these tickets do not open until a few days prior to the challenge and the upgrade option will be emailed to the VIP ticket holders first, and then to the general admission ticket holders if spots still remain.
