About
Who's Behind Aphelion
Two independently developed bodies of work, merged into a single course. Both of us teach it.
Shane Dietrich
Founder, Business Development, Brand, Operations and Facilitation
Co-facilitates every cohort alongside Josh. Originated the Coherence Framework, the 3 C's and 8-stage cycle at the core of The Aphelion Cycle, and brings prior experience building governance and operational systems for other businesses into how Aphelion is run from day one.
Joshua Adrian
Founder, Curriculum, Facilitation and Teaching Methodology
Several years of experience in education, with the past 4 years focused on developing and teaching the Imaginative Learning System (ILS), underpinning how The Aphelion Cycle is taught.
Two independently developed bodies of work, one focused on the structure of experience, one focused on how people actually learn and remember, merged into a single course. Neither existed to complete the other, they simply turned out to fit.
What we stand for
Our Values
Honest over aspirational
We name things as they are, not as we hope they'll be.
Tested before scaled
We build one complete thing, use it, refine it, then duplicate what works.
Educational, not clinical
We teach, we don't treat, diagnose, or counsel.
Built to be revised
The framework is a working model, not a finished truth, and so is this business.
