A Course in Miracles
2025-01-29 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-02-05 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
A Course in Miracles was channeled by Jesus in the 60’s to a Columbia University medical school faculty member, perhaps to help us remember the message he came to teach when he walked on this earth.
Each week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.”
Has any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear, guilt and hatred, suspicion and divisiveness?
Whether a beginner, a student of many years, or an on-again/off again inquirer, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together, is love manifest.
We meet by ZOOM, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Yoga provides relief from numerous forms of trauma, anxiety, and physical stiffness. It also builds a strong physical and spiritual core.

Join us every Monday from 7-8 pm for a vinyasa flow that will strengthen and energize as well as promote flexibility and balance. We will also experience inner peace by the closing meditation called Shivasana. Please bring a mat and water bottle, and the class meets in the beautiful sanctuary.

Here are some Frequently asked questions:
What is the Art of Living foundation?
The Art of Living is a non-profit educational organization, founded in 1981 by renowned spiritual teacher and humanitarian Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
It is committed to uplifting and empowering individuals and communities through a blend of ancient wisdom and modern science, with a particular focus on stress reduction and mental well-being.
What is the Art of Living Part-1 course?
In the Art of Living-Part 1 course also known as the Happiness program, you will learn SKY (Sudarshan Kriya)—a powerful rhythmic breathing technique that harmonizes the body-mind complex. Participants notice reduced stress and anxiety, better sleep, a stronger immune system, and increased energy levels.

Where can I learn more about this course?
https://www.artofliving.org/us-en/
Who all can attend this course?
Almost about anyone! No experience is necessary.
Anyone seeking improved mental health, focus and clarity. This practice makes me feel happier every time I practice it 🙂 I could say, anyone looking for more happiness and joy that is unrelated to external situations and circumstances, but is rather originating from within.
If this is Art of Living Part-1, is there a Part-2 course?
Great question! Yes, the Art of Living curriculum is a two part curriculum. You can do these workshops independently. Having completed part-1 you will be eligible to do a part-2, which is a deep dive.
One of my favorite retreats, part-2 or silence workshop builds on your Part 1 experience with a unique blend of advanced breathwork, guided meditations, daily yoga, and profound insights into the mind. This is all designed to provide an optimal environment to break free from a busy mind, dive deep within, and experience transformative shifts—fresh perspective, deep insights, and clarity. These moments supercharge the rest of your year, making it more vibrant, productive, and full of energy.
Any other questions?
Please do not hesitate to reach out. I will be happy to help however best I can.
