The Importance of Center
September 22, 7 p.m.
With Tim Boyd
In geometric figures, gravitational patterns, conscious life forms, and human social and political structures, the center and centering are of vital importance. Unfoldment of deeper potentials of consciousness depends on our ability to be aware of, then function through, progressively more refined "centers" within us.

The Secret Doctrine
Cosmogony Part I
For the convenience of participants in different time zones, each class will be available at two different times:
Tuesdays, 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. CT
Tuesdays, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. CT
October 18 - November 22 (6 classes)
The Secret Doctrine was H. P. Blavatsky's magnum opus and became a foundational contribution to modern esoteric philosophy. The core of this work is the "Stanzas of Dzyan," a collection of secret aphorisms that describe the development of the universe and humanity from an esoteric point of view. Pablo Sender will explore in all the Stanzas on cosmogony, as well as Blavatsky's commentary upon them, in a three-part webinar series. This first series of six classes will begin with an examination of the first three Stanzas, which describe the awakening of the cosmos from its state of universal rest.

Freedom from the Self
A Study of the Yoga Sutras
Fridays, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. CT
November 11 - December 9 (4 classes)
Patañjali's Yoga Sutras are among the most important writings of the Yoga school, and have remained relevant for 2,300 years because of their wisdom and inspiration. In this webinar course, Ravi Ravindra will explore the heart and purpose of yoga as expressed in the Yoga Sutras, with special emphasis on section 2.2 which states that the true purpose of yoga is the cultivation of Samadhi, meaning freedom from the ego-self, and the diminishing of the kleshas, that are the impediments standing in the way of achieving this goal.
