Maybe it's easier to find enlightenment as a monk.  No job, no bills, no kids - while the rest of us are faced with a never-ending parade of demands.  Some days it takes every effort just to keep our heads above the rising tide.  Meditation is pivotal because it enables the body to purify and release the stresses held within.  But, it is not the only tool in the toolbox.

Enlightenment can come slowly when we are habituated to self-limiting behaviors.  Our failure to identify them, or have the tools to correct them, holds us back.  And our inability to see cause and effect, to understand the self-interacting dynamics of the world around us, gives rise to repeated bouts of suffering.

Knowledge is the solution.  I want to invite each and every one of you to take a leap and start to revolutionize your thinking.  Once each year we offer a weekend knowledge course entitled Exploring the Veda.  The course is run in the style of a non-residential retreat, scheduled over a single weekend.  

 

The Veda is a body of knowledge that predates the world's religions.  It is the source of yoga, our meditation practice, and the foundation of all Eastern philosophy.
 

Beautifully presented in an easy to digest format, the course consists of 10 hours of recorded lecture from my teacher Thom Knoles.  There is ample time for in-depth discussion and exploration, which helps you to integrate the knowledge and relate it back to your own personal experiences.

 

In addition, you will learn special advanced meditation techniques and programs to deepen and expand your regular home practice.
 

This knowledge is the most powerful and practical you may ever experience, and will impact you on multiple levels.  Applying this knowledge to every day situations will help you lead a more frictionless life.
 
The cost is $675, with home-cooked vegetarian meals included.  The dates are June 18th - 21st (evenings on Thursday & Friday, and about 6 hours each day on Saturday & Sunday).

We all want transformation, but change can make us fearful.  I've yet to hear of a student who regretted taking this course, didn't report immeasurable benefit from it, or felt it was too intellectual.  It's very simple, easy and incredibly practical.  I hope you will give it your highest consideration.  Reserve your place online. 

"The Veda courses not only gave me an opportunity to understand the Vedic world view that gave rise to this powerful meditation technique, but also proved to be incredibly relevant to understanding the issues and challenges I face on a day to day basis. The Veda courses provide an excellent framework for unlocking further the benefits that accrue from daily meditation. I consider it a real privilege to have had the opportunity to study this knowledge."

"Wow, that was an amazing weekend, thank you!  I feel like a new woman.  The world hasn't changed, but my perception of it has.  I already feel an incredible ease as I get back into my routine - one that comes from a kind of knowingness.  I've never felt that before, not to this extent, and it feels great!  Now I know what you meant about how this knowledge is transformational.  I wish everyone would learn what we just have."
