The Structure of Genius
Connecting mind and body through neuro-semantics
The meaning that we have in our minds by means of words, memories, and imagination does not just stay in our minds – it translates into our bodies and governs how we experience life.
“I have come to feel that the only learning which significantly influences behaviour is self-discovered, self-appropriated learning.”
Carl Rogers
About the Course
Through this course you will learn how to articulate and work with the higher levels of meaning for detailed human processing and experience. The Structure of Genius offers a way of thinking about your experience and to work with your nervous system (neurology) and mind (linguistics) to create meaning, evaluate events and experiences and assign significance (semantics).
The mind can reflect on itself and then reflects on that first reflection, and then reflects on the second – and it can continue to do this without ever reaching an end to the process. We call this part of human consciousness reflexivity. What the philosophers have called, ‘the infinite regress’ now through the structure of genius becomes a state of consciousness above, beyond, and/or about (meta) any other state – ‘the infinite progress’.
This process is what enables us to ‘step back’ from ourselves to witness our own experiences and respond as we choose to. It gives us the power to rise above our circumstances, challenges and ultimately live from our highest level of intention and responsibility within alignment of who we are.
Origins of the course:
Neuro-semantics started in 1996 as the brainchild of Micheal Hall and Bob Bodenhamer. As they aimed to enrich and expand upon the work of the two modellers, Richard Bandler and John Grinder (neuro-linguistic-programming), as well as Alfred Korzybski (general semantics), they discovered meta-states and the self-reflexive nature of our consciousness.
The Tools:
The meta-states model within neuro-semantics revolutionized things as it gave us a way of going beyond the linear analysis of the structure of subjective experience by tracking vertical dimensions of human processing.

What our students say
“Excellent course and great support from the team at Curiosity Campus throughout . It’s given me resources to deal with important communication issues not only with others, but also with myself – in terms of recognizing my limiting beliefs and the language I use to put life and its events in perspective.
The course is really well presented, comfortable and organized, serious and fun, vulnerable and safe.
I’d recommend this to anyone who would like to work more effectively with people, or improve their focus and gain clarity on goals.”
Izak Janse van Rensburg, Graphic Designer
I found great value in the beautiful learning community that Curiosity Campus attracts. We could see ourselves and each other in new deeper ways. All of this created a safe space to take risks and really practice together, and then get direct immediate and extremely constructive feedback. This made the course one of the most intensive learnings experiences I ever had. I left with a new confidence in my potential as a coach.”
Michela Fenech, Ashoka - Co-leader of the Ashoka Europe Fellowship.
This work is focused and profound. Willem is a rock and held a safe container for each persons deep processing. No matter what your profession is, this will benefit you. Dive in, follow through and trust.”
Liz Vorster, Artist
I’m a communicator by profession so having access to resources that sharpen my skills has given me more confidence and my clients have received a more robust range of services from me.
I’ve also benefited hugely on a personal level from this coaching community- they’ve helped me bring awareness to the obstacles that get in the way of living a full life. Highly recommend this team!”
Puno Selesho, Poet, Writer & Coach
The talented professional that is Me, is intertwined with the passionate Being.
The poet that is Me, makes a wise and fun CFO.
I am honored and excited to have them co-exist as One.”
Nosipho Shongwe, Chief Financial Officer at Richards Bay Minerals.
Both courses I attended, The Language of the Mind and The Structure of Genius, have been priceless to me personally and professionally. The one big shift for me since the engagement with Curiosity Campus is that awareness becomes wasted if it does not lead to action that enables changed behavior. I would recommend the work of the Curiosity Campus to any individual or organisation that wants to experience growth.”
