“ACOL Down to the Bones” sessions are for the person who has read ACOL in its entirety and attempts to practice the application of A Course of Love. This course is for the willing but resistant student, who still finds oneself involved in psychological planning, attached to thinking, opines and judges. The goal is to be reliant on the Inner Teacher, the One Teacher whose aim is to heal, to love, and to help one recognize the True Identity of the Soul. Sessions are predominantly experiential, whose purpose is to unearth the gentle nature of your soul, allowing you to discard the harsh emotions and judgments with no regret or guilt. Includes guided reflections. Required donations, the amount of your choice to yogabydonation.org. (New session begins Jan. 15, 2024, 12 weeks, 45-60 mins)

“ACOL for newcomers.” These sessions will help you process the book and experience the words – bringing them into your heart. They will help you see terms which may be ambiguous, by considering the context in which the word is being used. Sessions will be discussion & guided reflections to deep heart knowing. One will begin to understand the word, HEART, as introduced in ACOL along with other key words and phrases. These sessions can be considered foundational for reading ACOL. It will surely enhance the process and experience, taking you beyond reading words on a page. Donations to yogabydonation.org. (New session begins November 2023.
