In an era of artificial intelligence, Inner View offers a return to what is most human: the soul of humanity.
"
Inner View is a direct encounter. A way of seeing in which a person is witnessed without condition, and from that witnessing, clarity, deep knowing, and true expression can emerge.
For more than two decades, this work has explored what becomes possible when nothing is in the way. Today, it lives through experiences, film, and a growing partnership with the sacred land of Mayacamas Sanctuary.
Transformation Through Film, Presence, and the Land
Where Insight Arises
Most of the world tries to solve its deepest challenges from the level of thought alone. This work begins somewhere deeper, rewriting the origin point itself.
Beyond What We Already Know
Much of life is approached through memory, analysis, and inherited ways of thinking. Useful as they can be, they often keep us circling what is already known rather than opening to something new.
From The
Individual Interior
Through Inner View, what has been sensed but not yet spoken begins to find its voice. A deeper knowing comes into view, bringing greater clarity, truer expression, and a more honest relationship with what is real.
From The
Collective Field
When people gather in direct encounter, a different order of intelligence can emerge between them. Not as topics to debate, but as living questions through which new insight, new language, and new ways forward are revealed.
Where This Work Meets the World
This work is shaped by the real challenges and defining questions of our time, inviting a more human way of meeting what is unfolding in ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
Not as topics to debate, but as living questions to meet.

Nic is a rare genius when it comes to capturing the essential human being that lies beneath the masks we choose to wear. He's developed a unique way of communicating truth in a way I've not seen elsewhere on the planet. The value is simple, deep and far reaching.

In order to meet the deep division that's impeding human progress, leaders need to go deeper. Deeper in self-awareness, deeper in connection with others. The toolkit that leaders turn to in times of challenge, even crisis, has been missing the key that unlocks the rest - stillness. Nic's Inner View is an undeniable experience of this stillness and offers a fundamental shift in the leadership development paradigm.

You sit down in front of Nic's camera and something happens. Within moments, everything that is not important somehow falls away. Nic holds an incredible space for your soul to speak. And it does. Wisdom and truth.

The only other person I've had a similar experience with is Byron Katie. I knew Nic saw me fully, and I really saw and felt myself for what seemed like the first time. I laughed at the image of me trying to control my life, actually thinking I was the one in control. Always running to fix myself, fix others or build more importance. In this moment I know t hat I love myself and I'm enough just as I am.

Nic and his Inner View process has been key in my inner path to conscious leadership. It’s also been key in recognizing my true purpose, and in manifesting and communicating it to others in wonderful ways I’d never imagined possible.

The Origin of the Work
Inner View emerged from filmaker Nic Askew’s lifelong exploration of perception, presence, and inner life — and from his two-decade search to encounter and film The Soul of Humanity.
Mayacamas Sanctuary
Home of Inner View and the Soul of Humanity
While this work unfolds in places around the world, Mayacamas is home. Set among the redwoods and madrones above Calistoga, it is more than a venue. The land is part of the work, deepening presence, perception, and the quality of what becomes possible here.
From here, it is carried into the world by those willing to live from that intelligence.
