A Course in Miracles
2025-08-20 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-08-13 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.

Testimonials
” Judy is a fantastic yoga instructor! I love how Judy guides you through every movement during your stretching to make sure you’re in the right position for your body. And then, she separates you from whatever was on your mind by getting you to focus on the here and now. “
~ Participant at Project Comeback’s programming for veterans and rescued horses
“Judy has an amazing spirit and great techniques. Her mastery and time studying abroad shines through every class. Not only does she make accommodations for all levels of yoga practitioners including people with disabilities, but she also has multiple versions of poses for those who want to try! The best part is she serenades with a beautifully channeled song at the end of each class that really calls our hearts. Judy is a uniquely talented person who is worth meeting, and that’s no stretch! Check it out!”
~ Jonjy Ananth
Judy is a fantastic yoga teacher with gifts of compassionate attention, awareness of healing processes, authenticity, and spiritual openness. I always leave her classes feeling renewed and more connected in body and spirit. I’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with Judy in other modalities of spiritual work and am impressed by her intuitiveness, creativity, and good-natured attitude.
~ Ian Mevorach, MDiv, PhD
Director, Common Street Spiritual Center
“I started Judy’s yoga classes with little experience and skill in yoga. I found the classes easy to follow and was encouraged to change the positions to better suit my current abilities and/or limitations. It was an open and rewarding environment for learning with a great group of people. At the end of class, I am uplifted by the channelled songs of love.”

Connect to Plant Medicine Within
Plant Medicine Energy Transmission Healing Journey
There is so much in experiencing wisdom of psychedelic plant medicine Especially when we are able to embrace, understand and nurture its energy without the need to ingest it, concern of adverse effects, discomforts of purging or undergoing prolonged post journey physical recovery.
Following a life-changing first journey to Peru in 2022, an extraordinary phenomenon emerged during my healing sessions, The three spirit essences – Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Psilocybin began to manifest to join me, facilitating effortless and deeply embodied guided healing journey experiences for my clients.
Over the past two years, I’ve enhanced this unique ability. Starting last summer, I began to extend this transformative healing journey to group settings. What sets this experience apart is my capacity to individually monitor and facilitate each participant’s energetic shifts as well as assist them in interpreting and integrating the spiritual guidance they receive.
This healing modality offers a rare opportunity to benefit from the wisdom of these plant medicines without direct consumption, creating a safe and accessible space for deep, embodied healing work.
Current Offerings
Individual Journeys, Group Journeys, & Private Journeys
In-person or Zoom

Ayahuasca helps you get out of your head and transition from active “thinking and doing” mode into a receptive state of being. It also illuminates what energies and parts of you need to come in and integrate so that you are able to fulfill your intentions.

San Pedro comes in by creating a safe hearted womb-like space. The sacred plant facilitates embodiment and integrates the newly coming energies gently, gracefully and effortlessly.

Psilocybin can provide a profound sense of embodied self-being, enabling you to experience a deep understanding of yourself and enhance a sense of intimate connection with the world around you. During the experience, you may encounter visions of natural elements.

Important Note: This gathering will not involve the direct consumption of any plant medicines. Instead, we will embark on a groundbreaking journey, evoking all three medicines in a harmoniously flowing sequence, facilitated through my transmission and accompanied by a powerfully curated playlist.
This experience is advantageous for those who:

find traditional plant medicine journeys challenging, especially when dealing with higher potencies when shadowy or difficult energies may emerge
curious about plant medicines but hesitant to consume mind altering substances.
want to explore the potential of plant medicines for healing and transformation in a guided, safe and high spirited supportive environment.

I am thrilled to introduce this journey of experiences into the individual and group spaces.
Step into a healing space where the ancient wisdom of Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and Psilocybin is channeled through guided, embodied energy work. Here we can co-create and explore the magic of plant medicine together as a loving, uplifting healing experience, according to your specific intentions and through an ordinarily hidden state of your own consciousness.
Join us and plant medicine energy transmission journey will touch your heart deeply and profoundly, the way it touched mine.
