Going Beyond What You Believe to Be True - Going Beyond - First Steps is the first in a series of computer based courses which address the objectives of the Insight and Mindfulness course in short more intense sessions and develop capacities at more discrete levels. With this first course of the series, students are provided with intructions in html format, PDF worksheets and meditations in audio files. Further sessions are not on CD yet, but are avaialable in individual sessions.

Transforming Conciousness introduces meditation teachings in broad strokes. It is an overview of practices that include exploring and opening to ultimate truth, transforming ordinary mind, and learning to live in relationship to both. It is based on the book, Being Prayer--Transforming Consciousnees. Each part and each session can be taken separately.

Part Two: Individual follow up sessions, using the Transforming Consciousness Practice Books, bring these concepts into experiential investigations.

The course is offered on line as a Home Study and in individual sessions by arrangement in private session in person, online, or by telephone. Group courses are offered by request.

Interpersonal Mindfulness


Interpersonal Mindfulness, incorporating Insight Dialogue, is included in all our courses. We are offer a focused Interpersonal training in this series. Interpersonal meditation supports our capacity to awaken out of habit into shared presence. Through the work of integrating training in insight and mindfulness into interpersonal interactions, we bring the fruit of meditation practice into all life interactions.

Courses include simple guidelines that support this process of practicing together, opening to the truth of both words and silence, bringing a greater possibility of mindfulness, tranquility and other wholesome qualities into all our interactions. We integrate reading and study as a contemplative practice in support of this integrative work.



Professional Integration


Creating - Creating and Clear Comprehension can describe movement of meditation or consciousness training from passive to active, from stillness to action - without ego driven doing. Clear comprehension usually refers to very subtle movement - noticing thought and intention and making choices about processes. Creating is taking consciousness and spaciousness into living and action.

Mindfulness and creating Positive interventions can supplement traditional interventions that relieve suffering and may someday be the practical legacy of positive psychology. Seligman, et.al.
