Create the life you want to be living

The Open Institute is an organization founded by Michaela Smail and Keith McGuinnes in early 2022.

The Open Institute is a school founded upon the teachings and philosophies of Authentic Relating, Tantra, Yoga, Sacred & Transpersonal Sexuality, Traditional Masculine/Feminine Polarity, Dojo, Luminous Awareness Institute, and many many more.

Our values are ownership, awareness, aliveness, attunement, impact, creating, communication, intimacy, and relationship.

As an organization, we are dedicated to expanding consciousness through the vehicle of sexuality.

“Somewhere along the line, we decided we no longer wanted to focus on healing, but creating.”

“How can your relationship with your SEX be a spiritual practice that is your path to awakening?”

We are committed to creating both a community, and a world, where our human sexuality, desires, edges, triggers, stories, & authentic truth are not only welcomed but celebrated, (in both their light and dark expressions!), and seen as vehicles to bring us closer to not only ourselves

but one another.

A place where humans are in touch with both their sovereignty and inner conscious creator.

A place where humans are in their power, creating the lives they ACTUALLY want to be living,

versus running the program they were given.
