Learning Itself
Independent Learning
Teach yourself something with nobody assigning it — the end goal of Sariro.
Tells us you want to become capable of this. No payment, no commitment — a mentor takes it from there.
How deep you go is up to you
There is no beginner version and no advanced version of this. You enter wherever you actually are — and a ten-year-old and a forty-year-old can be at the same place.

How you learn this at Sariro
Mentor-led
There is no pre-written course for this — and that is deliberate. A mentor teaches it to you directly, at your depth, and what you become capable of is recorded the same way it is everywhere else on the map. You are never handed a reading list and left to it.
