Absolute · community school
A path up the steps of your activity area — through masters’ live classes on the AbsoLive map. And the road to your own first class: a plan, an open class with a review, a pin on the map.
Demo: the paths on this site are samples. The pace is yours. The school is free; apart from ordinary server logs, the site collects nothing about you.
Three ways in
Mark the step you’re on now. The path page shows classes on the map, practice between them and an open class whenever you want to show what you can do.
You mark your step yourself — when you recognise yourself in the next line of the ladder. Your notes stay with you.
Paths and programmesIf you know how, you have something to give. Five steps of trust: I watch, I co-lead, I lead a part, a first class with a mentor, my own on the map.
The outcome — your own class on the AbsoLive map, if you decide to publish it.
How to start leadingFor masters and spaces: a cohort, an intensive or a seasonal school at an Absolute center — a selection of independent classes, to the school’s standard.
The outcome — a programme where each class is sold by its master in their own name, with the price and terms visible in advance.
The programme standardHow a path works
The school does not sell lessons or teach them itself. It shows a route through masters’ live classes on the map, a rhythm of practice and a way to see your growth without tests.
Paths and programmes
A sample shows how a path works. You can’t sign up for it: you sign up for classes with the masters on the map.
step 1 First chord step 3 Strum and pick
Own pace: classes by different masters from the map — and fifteen minutes of practice at home between them.
step 1 First class step 4 Tree
A cohort: a few people go to masters’ classes from the map together; cohort meetings are led by a mentor master in their own name.
step 1 Trial class step 5 Party
Own pace and different partners: the basic step with one master, turns with another, and then the dance floor.
Teaching and learning — one role
In most of AbsoLive’s ladders for individual activities, step 9 is about students: “Teacher”, “Coach”, “Instructor”. But you can run a first class sooner — for people two or three steps below you. Whoever still has the road fresh in mind explains it more clearly: that is how “near-peer” learning works.
Except for activity areas with risk — water, mountains and slopes, heights, martial arts, extreme sports: there, only as a class co-lead next to a master who has their own training and the venue’s permission, such as approval from the resort. And except for health and mental health: treatment, health improvement, psychotherapy, trauma work, dietetics, rehabilitation — the school does not teach how to lead such classes. Students at a first class are adults only.
What isn’t here
The school in the Absolute group
What the school takes from the group’s projects and what it gives them. The links lead to the live sites; where a project is in demo, it says so.
The school takes: masters, activity areas, the 0–10 ladder, the map and class swaps
The school gives: new masters with a first class on the map, and people who go beyond the first step
abso.live (opens in a new tab)The school takes: housing for a master in return for classes during an intensive in another Russian city
The school gives: masters who need a place to stay in another city
abso.homes (opens in a new tab)The school takes: food at programmes in the centers
The school gives: guests for intensives — once the centers open
abso.food (opens in a new tab)The school takes: a road from master to business: a skill as a service for companies
The school gives: masters who already have a method and students of their own
abso.works (opens in a new tab) site in RussianThe school takes: roles in the Absolute centers and on project teams; a school mentor role is coming
The school gives: people who already lead
abso.team (opens in a new tab) site in RussianThe school takes: just a link
The school gives: nothing: health data does not travel between AbsoHealth and the school in either direction
abso.health (opens in a new tab)The school takes: kit with a number and an @handle — once orders open
The school gives: people with a reason for kit — their own first class
abso.style (opens in a new tab) site in RussianThe school takes: a brand, a website and promotion as your own business grows; photos and texts for a master’s page are planned
The school gives: masters with something to show
abso.media (opens in a new tab)App
The school installs like an app and opens on “My path”: your step, practice notes, saved paths and your first-class plan. It works offline. Everything is kept only on this device — exported as a file and erased with one button.
