Thousands of people have used Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to learn and practice new ways of thinking and speaking that can transform their relationships with loved ones, co-workers and friends. By helping to resolve and prevent conflict, many believe practicing NVC is a key strategy for bringing peace to our world.
This course is being offered by Internationally Certified and acclaimed Nonviolent Communication Trainer Thom Bond who studied with, and was a close associate of, the creator of NVC Marshall Rosenberg.

MARIANNE WILLIAMSON
Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed spiritual author and lecturer. Six of her ten published books have been New York Times Best Sellers. Four of these have been #1 New York Times Best Sellers. A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality. A paragraph from that book, beginning “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” – often misattributed to Nelson Mandela’s Inaugural address – is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.

Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and James Maskell.
Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is a doctor trained in integrative medicine. When his six month old son became ill from a preventable vitamin deficiency he took charge of finding a whole new way, not just of taking care of his family and his patients, but to get to the bottom of what makes people ill and keeps us healthy. He completely restored my son’s health and now applies the same 360-degree progressive approach to my patients.
Using progressive, integrative and natural medicine, he routinely helps patients with diabetes, blood pressure issues, sleep and energy patterns, menopausal symptoms, IBS, autoimmune conditions, circadian rhythms and many other common health problems. Dr. Chatterjee’s starting point involves the four pillars of health: sleep, rest, food and movement. He feels that progressive medicine is all about thinking about the body’s systems and how they can work better to reduce the risk of chronic disease and improve day-to-day well-being.
Humanity’s Team projects include: Global Oneness Day – a day that Humanity’s Team created following its visit to the United Nations in May 2010 and a conscious business initiative focused on creating a new global standard for business in the 21stcentury.

August 24, 2017, NYC –The Vigil for International Peace is a transformational, grassroots effort dedicated to promulgate peace through participation in art, song, dance, music, prayer and ceremony. The purpose of this Vigil is to awaken humanity to harmony and peace through the power of intent and celebration. Our vision is to heal and bridge our lives and communities to achieve divinity alignment and recognize the oneness in all. UN Resolution 55/282: “Declares that the International Day of Peace shall henceforth be observed as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence, an invitation to all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day. This Resolution was based on Res.36/67 of 1981
Rev Susana Bastarrica is a former United Nations International Civil Servant, an Interfaith Ordained Minister International Speaker, activist of the New Seminary, Peace and Environmental evolutionary interactivist. She’s the Founder/Organizer of The Vigil for Peace and Ecology born from the ashes of the 9/11 tragedy. With a group of friends, Susana Bastarrica went into the streets with candles and prayers in the midst of the horror. She went out of the house in the evening with some friends and some candles to all the fire houses around her neighborhood. They gathered every night in the dark of the UN Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza (47 street between 1st and 2nd avenues) and went all around the neighborhood stopping at the devastated Fire Houses bringing them food and comfort.They were gathering and singing every night until police advised them it was unsafe to congregate. Thus, they proceeded to other public venues such as Lincoln Center Plaza and Central Park. After many gatherings in Central Park and Lincoln Center, the amount of neighbours and friends became unmanageable until the time came when were invited as a temporary place for assembly by (at the time Park’s Commissioner) Mr. Henry Stern. Much to Susana’s surprise, Mr. Stern suggested to held a event at the most iconic place in Central Park: The Naumburg Bandshell! Since 2002 The Bandshell has become their home for the celebration of the International Day of Peace September 21 of each year. Mr. Jeremy Gilley, of Peace One Day was instrumental in promoting the signing of the Resolution 55 /282 issued by the General Assembly on the 7th of September 2001. The first Vigil for Peace was held on the 21st of September 2002 to coincide with the United Nations designated International Day of Peace on September 21st each year. Since then The Vigil for Peace is being held at the Bandshell in New York’s Central Park on the closest Sunday to September 21st.
We invite you and your friends and family to participate at The Vigil for Peace & Ecology on our 16th Celebration at the Bandshell on the 17th of September from 9:00 to 5:00pm. There will be many musicians, artists, singers, performers and activists including featured band Suburban Sensi, a World Peace Flag Ceremony led by Rev. Deborah Moldow, a Human Peace sign ceremony with Paul Sladkus of Good News Planet, Water Tribute with Fabien Cousteau and filmmaker Greg Reitman (Rooted in Piece), the National Liturgical Dance, Pete Seeger Tribute with Roland Mousaa and Mindy Fradkin, Flamenca Dancer Inma Heredia, and much more.

Today’s Featured Speaker is: Robert Thurman.
Robert A.F. Thurman is the Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies in the Department of Religion at Columbia University and President of the American Institute of Buddhist Studies, a nonprofit affiliated with the Center for Buddhist Studies at Columbia University and dedicated to the publication of translations of important artistic and scientific treatises from the Tibetan Tengyur. At the request of HH the Dalai Lama, Robert co-founded Tibet House US, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Tibetan civilization.
Thurman is known as a talented popularizer of the Buddha’s teachings. He is a riveting speaker and an author of many books on Tibet, Buddhism, art, politics and culture, includingThe Central Philosophy of Tibet, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Why The Dalai Lama Matters: His Act of Truth as the Solution for China, Tibet, and the World and, most recently, with Sharon Salzberg, Love Your Enemies. Time chose Professor Thurman as one of its 25 most influential Americans in 1997 and The New York Times recently said Thurman “is considered the leading American expert on Tibetan Buddhism.”
Inspired by his good friend the Dalai Lama, Thurman stands on Buddhism’s open reality, and thence takes us along with him into an expanded vision of the world, whether the sweep of history, the subtleties of the inner science of the psyche, or the wonders of the life of the heart. He always shares the sense of refuge in the Dharma, which unfailingly helps us clear away the shrouds of fear and confusion, sustains us with the cheerfulness of an enriched present, and opens a door to a path of realistic hope for a peaceful future.

Connect for Peace is a public street happening for peace in honor of the International Day of Peace. We invite participants and passersby to connect with one another in a spirit of openness, spontaneity, and childlike innocence. A cross between performance art and a peace rally, these powerful events have touched the lives of people from around the globe.
We take a moment to connect for peace. We take a moment to really see the person in front of us. We say, “I see you” and are genuinely seen in return. The bungee cords physicalize the invisible connections between all people. As we realize how interconnected we are, peace is a natural outcome.
Amazing things happen at every Connect for Peace event. It touches something deep. Passersby stop to share intimate details of their lives. Strangers are moved to extraordinary acts of kindness. The premise is simple but the results are incredibly powerful.
Can the world be peaceful for 24 hours? Every hour a new invitation, action, mission, and hero will invite you in the UNIFY Experience for all to do and share together! This is hosted by UNIFY and all our amazing Partners honoring The International Day of Peace. The Incredible Celebration will be led LIVE on UNIFY FB Page.
Sept 21 we will be LIVE on FB,starting the kick off of this Global Synchronized Event and will be working towards breaking our last Guinness World Record!
Learn more about this at http://www.home.unify.org/
Share your peaceful actions on Twitter, FB, Instagram with us featuring hashtag # reporting your actions on the Map on our site
Please share this event! Peace on!
From Peace Accelerators Description: It is our dream (and hopefully it will become your dream as well) that over the next decade we begin to celebrate the International Day of Peace (September 21st) more and more each year, until over time it becomes the first holiday that the entire world celebrates.
It is not religious and it is not about any made-up country — it is about all of us seeing the commonality between each other, realizing we’re on one Earth (and in many ways this place needs us to adapt to her quite quickly at this crucial point in history).
This Thursday we are holding a large beautiful inspiring event for the International Day of Peace. There will be community leaders, speakers, musicians, meditation, yoga, dj’s and much more.
This will be one evening you will not want to miss.
It will be the largest celebration for the International Day of Peace in NYC, the heartbeat city of our one planet.
Let’s show the world what we want.
Join others for 15 glorious minutes of Laughter Yoga on the phone as we celebrate 11 Days of Global Unity! Today, we culminate these 11 days as we mark the UN International Day of Peace. When Dr. Kataria, founder of Laughter Yoga, began spreading his vision of sharing intentional laughter, he recognized that Laughter is a universal language and since its founding in 1995, he has hoped others will share his vision of using shared intentional laughter to help the world find peace. I’m SURE I’ve enjoyed laughing with each and every person who has called in during the 11 Days of Global Unity. On this, our last call of this series, we will focus on Laughter Exercises that envision a more peaceful world. As always: no previous experience, no special clothes or equipment required. CALL: +1-218-339-2460 CODE: 52844# (LAUGH#) We’ll start with SMILE-UPsSM and get the giggles with silly, playful LAUGHTER exercises that help unite us as we decrease stress, anxiety and depression, increase joy, connection, creativity, energy, focus and productivity.

PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP
EAN is a movement of vital elders who are dedicated to growing in consciousness while actively addressing the vital issues of our time. The Empowered Elder Workshop introduces the basic tenets upon which EAN is founded and explores the important role of elders in today’s world. There is a focus on understanding, embracing, and stepping into the role of elder—of moving from ‘disempowered older’ to ’empowered elder’!
OVERVIEW OF SESSIONS
1 – Being an Elder
- Introduction to EAN and to the values, roles, and tasks of elderhood
- What it means to be an Elder and to move from un-empowered senior to a state of empowerment
2 – Growing in Consciousness
- Introduction to the science of mindfulness and the Story of Oneness
- How growing in mindfulness/consciousness/awareness supports our interactions with life as an individual and as part of the larger living system
3 – State of the World
- Introduction and exploration of environmental, socio-economic, and spiritual crises and divides in our world today
- How squarely facing the state of the world empowers you to act on behalf of Earth
4 – The Great Turning: The Sustainability Revolution
- Introduction to the Ecological Revolution and new sustainable models of environmental, social and economic systems
- How shifting from “there’s little-or-nothing I can do” to understanding what I CAN do and changing my behavior is part of the solution
5 – Sacred Activism
- Exploring and connecting to what is “sacred” and important to you, as well as how to take action from love not hate, from unity not division
- Finding your calling—what is being asked of you now as an Elder?
6 – Taking Action Together for All Life
- Forming into Elder Circles, Climate Action Chapters, or other community action groups; setting plans for how we will engage as elders
- Shifting from “not knowing what I can do” to commitment with others to take action on behalf of Life
7 – Elder Circles • Projects Creation • Celebration
- Hearing from the Elder circlers, actions groups, and individual projects that have formed about their plans and next steps
- Celebrating our time together and reflecting on what we have learned
HOMEWORK AND RESOURCES
After each session participants will have access to a homework and resources webpage with daily practices and journal questions, along with readings, videos, and websites relating to the topic of the next session.

FACILITATOR
Constance Washburn M.A. is the lead facilitator of the Empowered Elder Workshop. She is a founding member of the Elders Action Network and is a long time facilitator, community builder and leads retreats, trainings and workshops in Joanna Macy’s “Work that Reconnects,” helping people reconnect to themselves, each other, and the earth in order to build a sustainable future for all life.
Constance has an M.A. in education and theater and is a graduate of the Ecology of Leadership and Permaculture Design programs at the Regenerative Design Institute, holds a certificate in Transforming Business, Society, and Self with U.Lab from MITx, and she is a mindfulness/meditation instructor and yoga teacher.

Programs included farm tours, talks, large festivals, volunteer and teacher trainings, as well as the Farm Field Studies program, which brought thousands of students a year out to farms.
What participants have said about the workshop…
“The Empowered Elder: EAN’s Foundation Workshop gives a superb overview of what EAN is about as well as going into depth, especially through the varied, imaginative, and potentially transformative experiential exercises, as well as the rich resources. You will emerge more knowledgeable and wiser — not only about what Elders Action Network really means but also about how you want to embrace your elderhood and contribute to making our world and earth a better home for our great, great grandchildren. This workshop will be valuable for EAN “old-timers” as well as new members.“
—Meg Newhouse, Passion & Purpose LifeCrafting,
founder of the Life Planning Network, EAN “old-timer”
“This workshop lays the foundation for our thinking, acting and being needed to preserve all life for all future time. If there is one course that says everything about everything, this is it. In a world exploding with information, how do we decide what to let in…This gives participants the keys to what’s important and a method by which to choose.”
—Geoff Ainscow, producer of The Deep Time Walk, EAN “old-timer”

Welcome to the Self-Study version of Living the New Story Series 2 !
Our live journey ran from September 2018 to April 2019 and each of the 8 videoconferencing sessions were recorded.
Throughout the eight sessions, we are inviting you to take an experiential journey into what needs to change in us, and in the human story. Each session will explore, at increasing levels of depth, what it is to live the new story personally, and accelerate it collectively, through:
-
Understanding our own personal journey inside of our larger, collective story of human evolution.
-
Awakening to ourselves as dynamic, inspired agents of change and learning how to powerfully cocreate the future of our world in a way that is uniquely ours.
-
Catalysing our growth and evolution beyond the patterns and core beliefs of our past to make way for the new story to unfold.
-
Honouring the best of the old story and integrating it into the new.
-
Connecting with, and beginning to harness, the power of the collective field to carry the new story forward.
As we change our story, we change our world
We humans find our way by story. Our stories shape us, hold us and give meaning to our lives. Every so often it becomes clear that a prevailing story is no longer serving. Now is such a time. Humanity needs a new, inspiring picture of the future to live into.
This website is designed to support the emergence of a coherent new story for humanity and the production of practical, collaborative ways to live this new story.
We invite you to help us accelerate our collective understanding of what the ‘world in waiting’ holds for us, what is already emerging and what needs to change, both in us and in the human story.
As a first step in this journey already begun by others, the Findhorn Foundation gifted to the world – The New Story Summit: Inspiring Pathways for our Planetary Future –which was held from 27 September to 3 October 2014…a gift economy gathering of the human family to experience planetary community, draw on our collective intelligence and co-create a story to inspire us all.
The Summit was more than full so we know there is huge support and longing for a new way to live together – a way which honours ancient wisdom and the interconnected whole living system of which we, the Earth and the cosmos are all part. It’s all connected and we are all accountable. To find out more, visit our Summit page.
This online hub will continue to be just that – a hub for people from all over the world to meet, engage, collaborate, share information, dream, synergise and inspire each other to live a new story.
If you would like to join this wave of collaborative action to shift consciousness and build on the threads of a new story already being lived and experimented with, you are very welcome. We invite your engagement, transparency, trust, compassion, innovation, entrepreneurship and generosity of spirit

COURSE OVERVIEW
We CAN do this! We can rebuild soil, replenish water cycles, and reverse global warming.
Humans have been living in a degenerative relationship with nature, expecting our world to be “used up” to provide our needs and now, the majority of the solutions to the biggest global crisis have been incomplete because we are stuck in a reaction to our degenerative relationship and focused on “doing less harm” in the personal or policy measures.
Sustainability alone will not save the planet because we’ve already caused too much degradation. Our solutions must match the scale of the problem, we must become regenerative. The good news is, we can.
When we begin to make global changes that affect grand inflection points, like the way our food is grown and sourced, we can start to heal our world from the soil up, sequestering carbon as we go, replenishing water sources, and healing our communities.
But the movement begins with you
and your advocacy…
The journey to healing our planet
MEET YOUR TEACHER
Finian Makepeace is the co-founder of Kiss The Ground and a renowned presenter, media creator, and thought leader in the field of regenerative agriculture and soil health. His dedication to Kiss the Ground’s mission of “inspiring participation in global regeneration, starting with soil”, has motivated him to develop training programs, workshops, and talks designed to empower people around the world to become confident advocates for this growing movement.
As part of the Kiss the Ground media team, Finian has worked with leading experts, farmers, and businesses to bring the ideas of regenerative agriculture and soil health as hopeful solutions to the world’s problems in clear, comprehensible and thought-provoking formats to audiences everywhere.
Simply, he has helped Kiss the Ground succeed in sharing this message across the globe. His background as a leader of a band and lifelong activist has given him the unique opportunity to blend his artistic vision with his ability to organize and advocate for this growing, global, and diverse community.
His “calling” is that people experience being a part of making history
and he believes that with enough new advocates promoting the ancient wisdom and new science of regenerative agriculture and ecosystem restoration
WE CAN HEAL OUR PLANET!
Join this all-levels advocacy course for free from September 9-25.
Sustainability is no longer an option.
We have to DRAWDOWN the carbon in our atmosphere. We have to REGENERATE our land back to health. Regenerative Agriculture, which blends modern discoveries in soil biology with indigenous wisdom, is one of the biggest solutions of our time. And yet, it is just starting to come into the conversation.
This course will teach you how to be a knowledgeable, inspiring advocate for this powerful solution!

Our mission is to create a global wellness community around the ideas and practices of the world’s greatest teachers.
The true beauty of our community here can be summed up in that very word. Living in community allows us to grow in our connection to ourselves, to our world, and to each other — but it also comes with challenges. How do I smooth over disagreements? How do I see the other side of the situation? How do I serve the greater good, when that means denying myself?
Surrender to the situation, lean into acceptance.
My perspective may not be your perspective, but both are essential parts of our shared happiness, joy, and success. By embracing the truth of what is and who we are, from all angles, we can honor each other with clear and open minds.

HOW WE CAN BEGIN TO HEAL OUR BROKEN WORLD |
For more than 26 years, I’ve been helping individuals and communities creatively navigate difficult transitions — such as loss of a loved one, livelihood, illness, or bursting forth of a life unlived, the collective trauma of community disaster — through story-making. I’m now finishing a book — a combination memoir and workbook — about my healing story approach. Not since 9/11, have I felt such urgency to put my work in service to healing our national culture. For the next year and half, I’m going to be offering more community reconciliation programs to counter-attack the hate and violence-filled narratives that the Administration and its minions are flooding media with. I’m targeting my programs now to change-makers: healers, writers, storytellers, teachers, activists. Here’s the mistake many are making: Focusing on Trump’s media grabs day after day. This only gives energy to his evil and distracts from the fact that millions of citizens support him as a cult – meaning a disregard for facts in favor of allegiance to a leader that makes false promises, but is interested only in expanding his own power and wealth. But how can we pull followers out of this cult? Not by judging, preaching, haranguing. Rather by listening, engaging, finding non-political common ground, by sharing our stories – not our victim tales, but a deeper story that is always flowing like a river beneath the surface of our lives – where we are one people, one race, one blood. On Sept. 10, at 8 pm eastern, I’m going to be offering a free introduction to a 3-step healing story process for people who would like to use story in their community, therapeutic, or classroom programs, but may not know how. That’s Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 8 pm eastern time. To register and receive the link, write to me at juIietbrucephd@gmail.com. |
Enjoy the rest of your summer, |
Campaign Nonviolence was created to help unite movements and build peace by working to end war, poverty, racism and environmental destruction.
Since 2014 tens of thousands of people have joined Campaign Nonviolence (CNV) every September marching for peace, racial justice, economic equality and environmental healing. Now, we are gearing up for another powerful nationwide mobilization September 14-22 — please join us!
Over 2,660 marches, rallies, workshops and other public events took place in all 50 states and 25 countries last September. This year we will build on this growing movement by bringing all of our issues together in the same week coast to coast and around the world — and calling with one voice for a nonviolent culture that works for everyone.

Song Carriers Immersion
OVERVIEW
The Song Carriers Immersion is an initiatory experience for women called to awaken their natural wild essence and vitality through song and sisterhood. The immersion brings participants deeply into the way of the Song Carrier and provides guidance about how to gather, learn, hold, and offer sacred Earth Songs. Through a rich mix of communal singing, dancing and ritual along with solo visioning and wandering, women uncover the unique gifts of their voice and remember their original role as caretakers of life and dreamers of the mystery. The setting is the pristine wilds of Apache Canyon, NM where the music and medicine of nature powerfully present themselves and root the overall experience.

Transition Thrive Online Training
Thursday, September 26, 2019 – 11:00am – Thursday, November 21, 2019 – 12:30pm
All times Pacific. We are currently offering two registration options through this page: a $120 Standard Ticket to cover the basic costs of producing this course and a $180 Sponsor Ticket to help subsidize scholarships. If you would like to request a need-based scholarship or group discount, please contact don@transitionus.org
Transition Thrive can be thought of as the sequel to Transition Launch Training. While Launch focuses on the first few steps of the Transition process – understanding the global context, forming an initiating group, raising awareness, and cultivating partnerships with like-minded organizations – Thrive builds upon this foundation to provide answers to how to broaden, deepen, and scale up the impacts of local community resilience-building initiatives over time.
Over the course of eight weekly sessions, you will form mutually-supportive relationships with other participants, develop new abilities and knowledge, receive guidance for overcoming the specific challenges you are facing, and create a robust action plan to take your work to the next level.
Prior participation in a Transition Launch Training is recommended, but not required. This course is open to social change activists from all over the world, but is currently only available in English.
Sessions at a Glance
1. Maps for the Transition Journey (October 3): Identify your initiative’s current strengths and weaknesses using the Transition Healthcheck and explore how The Five Stages of Transition can provide an achievable path to thriving.
2. Cultivating the Collective Genius (October 10): In this session, we will look closely at our individual wholeness and unique collaboration styles while exploring ways of cultivating these so that the collective genius in our groups is more likely to emerge.
3. Running Successful, Practical Projects (October 17): This session will share design ideas for projects that bring tangible benefits to your community, engage and energize volunteers, and support working groups to be effective and rewarding.
4. Reaching Beyond the Choir (October 24): Learn how to create a tipping point of support for your initiative and cultivate strategic partnerships by telling your best stories, harvesting metrics, and designing value propositions.
5. Building Momentum and Capacity (October 31): In this session, we will cover running larger campaigns, forming diverse coalitions, taking a multi-faceted approach to fundraising, and establishing a healthy formal organization.
6. System-Changing Strategies (November 7): This session will explore the mindsets, practices, and structures that support community-wide and whole systems strategies, such as creating localized food systems or transforming local economies.
7. In It for Life (November 14): Here, we will discuss some of the unique challenges we encounter as long-term change-makers, and will suggest tools, mindsets, inner postures, and practices that help us stay inspired and prevent burnout.
8. Bringing It All Back Home (November 21): In this final session, we will circle back to the Transition Healthcheck to harvest key insights from this course, address major challenges, and create an action plan for your group to thrive!
How Does It Work?
Thrive Online consists of a series of eight pre-recorded presentations that will be made available for you to watch before engaging in weekly 90-minute live videoconferences exploring each of these topics in greater depth. We will also provide you with access to a private discussion forum that you can use to share resources and continue conversations in between sessions.
Please don’t worry if you don’t consider yourself to be tech-savvy. The platforms we use are designed to be easy to navigate, and we will provide personalized technical assistance throughout the course to ensure that your experience is as enjoyable as humanly possible.
While this online format enables you to participate in an international learning cohort from the comfort of your own home – at a lower cost and with a smaller carbon footprint than traditional face-to-face offerings – if you’d prefer to host a Thrive Training in your local community, please click here to learn more about how to do that.

You Matter! Self-love is not selfish. It’s necessary.
Give yourself permission to focus on your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health with kindness and compassion. You deserve to feel good!
I’m inviting you to take a bold step and join me in this safe, supportive and nonjudgmental place I’ve created for you. We meet live online in small groups for your convenience so each parent receives personal attention.
Do this for you, because your NEW LIFE is calling!
Welcome!
I’m ShaRon Rea and I’m thrilled you’re here!
After years of helping hundreds of parents regain their confidence after a breakup or divorce, my clients tell me how glad they were to work with me. They just couldn’t read another co-parenting self-help book!
Let me be your personal guide. Discover how you too can experience more success managing the day to day challenges of co-parenting. Learn how to anticipate problems before they escalate and stop making decisions from desperation. The Co-Parenting Course increases your parenting skills and inspires you to try new things to build a high-quality future for you and your children.
Who Is The Co-Parenting Course For?
This course is for divorced, separated and single parents. You can take control for yourself and the kids, even if the other parent is not willing. This course is also for grandparents, foster parents and any adult caring for children of divorce.
In the United States and abroad, courts mandate divorcing parents take a class. The court ordered classes give parents a foundation, but in the months and years after the court classes have ended, parents still struggle to find peace. Conflicting opinions about what’s best for the kids, and so many other arguments, stop effective co-parenting from becoming a reality for many families.
In The Co-Parenting Course, I deliver the next level of support to parents so they can deal more successfully with conflict, have patience with the ups and downs of their children’s behavior and turn their focus to solutions instead of staying stuck in the problems.
LOOK INTO THE FUTURE and IMAGINE
In just four weeks, after completing The Co-Parenting Course, your life will be filled with
HEALTH
HARMONY
HAPPINESS

A Four Week Online Course with Dr. Kenneth Rose
Virtual Reality, Māyā,
and Yoga’s Virtual Bodies
Tues, Mar 3, 10, 17, 24 (7-9:00 pm EST)
Course Description
Everyday life is rapidly going virtual, and we are experiencing the vaporization of physical reality as technology rapidly evolves. Apps are displacing shopping malls, and crude single-player video games have morphed into massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). This rapid virtualization of physical reality leads MIT computer scientist Rizwan Virk to suggest in The Simulation Hypothesis that we may be living in an MMORPG without knowing it.
If we are living in a hypnotic simulation controlled by beings greater than us but unknown by us, can we develop a powerful video game to break through to reality? Perhaps, but we would remain dependent upon machinery to awaken—like always needing a meditation app to meditate. Humanity’s mystical traditions teach that we are master simulators of our own experience—with or without machinery—and that it is our choice to sleep or to wake up.
In this course, we will unfold the classic Panchakosha, or Five-Bodies Teaching, from the Upaniṣads to realize the mystical depth in human life. This ancient teaching shows us how to perceive the multiple subtle or virtual bodies that cover up our ordinary consciousness. As we enter more deeply into this teaching over the four weeks of this course, we will also learn how to dismantle these virtual bodies and return to our inborn standpoint of natural enlightenment.
Students who take this course will learn:
The difference between virtual, augmented, and simulated reality
How Hinduism’s Five-Bodies Teaching uncovers the multiple bodies that cover our naturally illumined consciousness
How to use the natural technology of meditation
How the Simulation Hypothesis mirrors ancient teachings about māyā and illusion
How to enter deeper stages of meditation
How to perceive and pass beyond the five bodies that enclose our true Self
