“ACOL Down to the Bones” sessions are for the person who has read and is familiar with A Course of Love. For the willing student, who still finds oneself involved in psychological planning, useless thinking, opines, and judges, yet is open to letting go of the conditioned mind and makes contact deferring to the Inner Teacher, the One Teacher whose aim is to heal, to love, and to help one recognize the True Identity of the Soul. These sessions are predominantly experiential, whose purpose is to unearth the gentle nature of your soul, allowing you to discard the harsh with no regret or guilt. Includes guided reflections.

These sessions will help you process the book, experience the words and meaning, to bring them into your heart, to set free implied questions chapters introduce. It will help you see terms which may be ambiguous, by considering the context in which the word is being used, not just based on a traditional denotation. 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.
