Buddhi: The Development of the Enlightened Mind - 7 hours
Buddhi is a Buddhist and Hindu term that means the enlightened will, awakened mind, and discerning intelligence; it is a mind that has an innate comprehension of the unity of all things.It was understood that everyone has this within, and that it is the driving force behind the goals that we all have, whether large or small.To awaken buddhi is to realize a more integrated mode of existence.With the advent of buddhi, higher levels of mind can emerge, allowing a person to quantum think, to think at a higher level, to think more creatively, and with more vision.Buddhi may be the highest ideal for which one can strive.
Craniosacral Therapy - 14 hours
Craniosacral therapy works with the craniosacral system - the cranium, spine, and sacrum, to harmonize these elements, and the continual pulsing that this system does via the cerebrospinal fluid.Using gentle compression, a craniosacral therapist helps the fluid to flow more freely, allowing the body's natural healing mechanisms to function more properly.

Creative Expression - 14 hours
We all have the muse within, whether we cultivate it, or not, or whether it has been encouraged throughout life, or not.When we set aside our internal critic, and just let ourselves use creative expression as a form of play, it can be a positive experience on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.This class will work in a number of mediums, to help you find what your avenue of expression truly is.
Creative Intelligence and Quantum Thinking - 14 hours
At its essence, this is a creative universe.The Nobel-prize winning quantum physicist David Bohm once remarked, "Creativity is a fundamental principle of the Cosmos and what needed to be explained were the processes that were not creative."Unfortunately, we are not trained or encouraged to use our creative thinking capacities.This fun-filled class will get your creative juices flowing as you tap into a wealth of creative-thinking abilities you may not have thought you were capable of.

Empowerment - 14 hours
How do we relate to others, and ourselves, in our normal, everyday circumstances?What are our feelings about money, sex, our body, our relationships, our jobs, our goals, and our visions?How can we empower ourselves in these realms?If we are interested in developing human potential, we have to examine our belief system towards the things that are part of our everyday experience.This experiential class will allow us to understand our belief system, and show us ways to look at things more productively.
Energy and Distance Healing - 14 hours
We all have the capacity to heal and be healed, through energy and distance healing.For millennia, energy healers of all cultures have healed people of all kinds of maladies; the same occurs today.Nowadays, energy healing goes by various names, including reiki, therapeutic touch, psychic healing, spiritual healing, universal healing, and Qi Gong healing.There are masters of Qi Gong medicine who believe that even cancer can be cured or lessened through their work.This class will teach you how to develop your energy healing capabilities.

Everyday Spirituality - 14 hours
Spirituality has many meanings to many people; an important component of spirituality is the ability to encompass it into everyday life.When this occurs, you generally feel more alive, happier, and whole.This class will teach exercises from the world's religions to cultivate aspects of everyday spirituality - kindness, love, joy, peace, vision, wisdom, and generosity.
The Harmony of Mind and Heart - 8 hours
This class explores the concepts of witness consciousness, detachment, and acceptance and examines tools to practically apply these spiritual and philosophical wisdoms in our every day life. In this course we will learn an ancient yoga technique called Japa, repetition of a mantra, as a means of transcending the reactive emotional power of the mind and returning us to the truth and tranquility of the heart. We will also examine the "Work" of Byron Katie as a practice of inquiry that helps one to take responsibility for creating their happiness and inner peace regardless of external events.

Healing Through Guided Breath Work - 14 hours
Guided breath work is a psychospiritual approach, one that accesses the deeper, nonverbal recesses of the bodymind, which are areas that lie outside of the normal cognitive thought processes, and are areas difficult to access through traditional therapy.Guided breath work is the approach that shamans have used through millennia.It can be a powerful image based tool to break through blocks in our lives.
Imagine: All the People Living Life in Peace - 7 hours
"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one," sang John Lennon in Imagine, his anthem to a world living in peace.Another advocate for world peace, Albert Einstein, once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge.Knowledge is limited; imagination encircles the world."Come to the workshop to use your imagination, creative intelligence, and quantum thinking capabilities to develop ideas for peace, and to potentially put them into action.

Integral Medicine - 14 hours
For those interested in becoming a Quantum-Integral Medicine counselor or coach, this is a mandatory class.In this class, we will examine the many facets that comprise a person's make-up - from the biopsychosocial, to the spiritual, and cultural - and how a multimodal approach is the only way that can successfully treat someone.We will examine how this applies in a clinical setting.
Integral Psychology and Ego Development - 7 hours
At each level and stage of consciousness and ego development, we see the world, think, and react to circumstances differently.At each of these levels and stages, it would take a different psychological approach to help people break through barriers.What would work for one person may not be appropriate for another, due to the fact each of these people may be at different levels of development - for one person, guided breath work may be the right thing, while for another, cognitive therapy may be more appropriate.This class will outline the different levels of development, and different approaches that would work for each one.

Intuition Development - 14 hours
We all have the capabilities to use our intuition more than we currently do, as we are constantly picking up signals that most of the time we ignore.When we do listen, we might think it is a coincidence, or perhaps a synchronicity.In this class, we will do exercises to help develop our intuition even more.
Meditation and Mindfulness - 7 hours
Mindfulness, whether practiced in meditation, or in daily life, is one of the most powerful tools for becoming more present, more focused, and for becoming more aware of our thoughts, actions and reactions.When we start to be aware of our thoughts, and we start to understand why we think the way we do, we can become more in control of our impulses, drives, and desires.Ultimately, this can lead to a furtherance of our human potential, and an awakening of our enlightened mind.This experiential class will explore mindfulness in various ways.

MindMorph: The Paradigm Shift Experience - 7 hours
MindMorph: The Paradigm Shift Experience, is a simulation that helps encourage the "Aha" experience, changes points of view, allows for a new way of seeing things, facilitates change, and is fun.It is an innovative training event that enables people to break out of traditional thinking and problem solving methods.We all operate from a paradigm, and most of these are based on assumptions that color our perception of reality.In MindMorph, we will get a chance to become conscious of the fact that we operate from a paradigm, and see how easily we fall under its sway.At the same time, we will experience the opportunity to break out of our typical thinking habits, by undergoing a MindMorph.
Nutritional Wisdom - 7 hours
This workshop is centered upon the magnificent and sometimes challenging relationship we all have with food. Subjects addressed include cravings, factors of diet, the cycles of our lives and how these influence our eating behaviors, how food can be nourishing beyond just its nutritional content, emotional eating, the importance of being mindful, macronutrients and more! Instead of condemning or condoning a particular diet, you will be encouraged to listen to your body's own intuition for guidance. This course is aimed at helping you transform your relationship with food to one that fosters physical and spiritual health.

Quantum Reality and Nonlocal Medicine - 7 hours
Quantum versions of reality vary from the classical versions of reality that we all know so well.In the quantum version of reality, things are simultaneously here and elsewhere; we can influence the past and future; there are parallel universes; matter is essentially empty; and action can occur at a distance.The ability for action to occur at a distance, without concern for space or time, and at speeds faster than the speed of light is also known as nonlocality.Many are pointing to the relevance this has for medicine; the physician and writer Larry Dossey is calling this Nonlocal Medicine, and considers this the new frontier of medicine.The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a unit of the U.S. Government, is also researching this; they call it Frontier Medicine.This class will discuss quantum realities and explore various methods of Nonlocal Medicine.
Remote Viewing - 7 hours
Remote viewing is viewing unlimited by space and time. It is the capability to see over vast distances.The CIA spent 20 years investigating remote viewing during the Cold War, as a way to see if it was possible to use remote viewing to see in the then-USSR's top-secret facilities and other highly classified areas.When this information was declassified and the U.S. Congress reviewed them, they were profoundly impressed by the results of the CIA experiments.This class will help us to access our remote viewing capabilities.

Shiatsu - 14 hours
Shiatsu is the traditional Japanese art of acupuncture without needles.Instead, the practitioner uses their hands, elbows, and feet, as a method of stimulating the person's energy.Shiatsu is done on the various energy meridians of a person, and can be a very effective way of helping to balance and invigorate a person's energy, thereby helping them to achieve better health.
The Integral-Aperspectival Way - 7 hours
The integral-aperspectival way is a way of seeing the world from the largest and broadest perspective possible, while at the same time, seeking to merge seemingly opposite concepts and understandings.It does so by making a place for the spiritual dimension, and says life operates in a continuum, from partial truth to full truth, with the spiritual dimension as the ultimate or full truth.An aperspectival way of seeing the world is considered a new way of thought, one of liberation from exclusive and limiting perspectives.This class will explore all this, and give exercises to develop our integral-aperspectival mindset.

The Evolution of Consciousness - 7 hours
As we go through life, we potentially evolve through various universal levels and stages of consciousness, from a prerational/prelogical stage, to a rational/logical stage, to a transrational/translogical stage, although the great majority of people do not evolve further than the mid-level rational/logical stage.Although people have peak experiences, that does not put them at higher levels of consciousness - it takes development of the many aspects that make up a human being to reach higher levels.This class will explore each of the levels of consciousness, from the prerational to the higher and mystical levels of consciousness, and discuss what each level is like.
The Future of the Body - 7 hours
It is known we use just an infinitesimal amount of our potential.Are extraordinary abilities latent within everyone? Are the limits of human growth fixed?
Are we all capable of tapping into the potentially infinite expanse of our healing capacity and our human potential?We will look at the evidence that we have unrealized capacities, and then identify specific practices and activities that can help us realize more of our unrealized capacities.

The IdeaLab - 7 hours
When we start using our creative intelligence and quantum thinking capabilities, it can take us in any number of directions.We can use it to develop more of our innate healing capabilities, and our human potential.We can also apply it outwards by directing it towards the world, and coming up with new ideas and new models that can be implemented in the fields of medicine and healing, business, science and technology, and the arts; these would be ideas that could potentially create positive change.Everything starts with the seed, which is the idea.In the IdeaLab, we will take our ideas, and look at them from a practical angle, and see how it can be developed and implemented.It is now possible for good ideas to spread quickly through society.This is a hands-on class, so bring your thinking cap along.To learn more about the IdeaLab, click here.
Turtles All the Way Down: Dogmas, Mental Models and the Infinite Universe - 7 hours
According to Native American legend, a turtle holds up the earth, and another turtle holds up this turtle.Each turtle, the myth went, was stacked on another turtle, and it was turtles all the way down, into the deep expanses of the infinite universe.In our Western way of seeing the world, we hold fast to a finite universe, one that is absolute, rigid, and predictable.This is our dogma; it is a mental model, a way of seeing the world that is deeply ingrained in our consciousness.The Church used to burn people at the stake for saying this was dogma; now we have other ways to reject those who claim it is dogma.This class will examine all this, and will look at the concepts put forth by various scientists, philosophers, and artists that show that the universe is infinite and evolving.It also contains practical exercises for helping us to understand our dogmas and to align ourselves with the infinite and evolving universe.

Vibrational and Sound Healing -7 hours
For thousands of years, eastern philosophies have recognized the importance of vibration and sound, and have applied it through touch, chanting, mantras, bells, whistles, bowls, instruments, and other ways. In this class, we will examine the nature of vibration and sound, and how it can be used for healing.
