Living and Dying: Navigating the Bardos
Everything ends. We know this abstractly but tend to brush it under the rug in our day-to-day lives. But what if we could accept endings with greater ease? What if we could face the future without anxiety and relate to death as an opportunity? Join author and renowned guide Andrew Holecek for a six-part online course that will show you how to live with joy through spiritual preparation for life transitions, death, and beyond.

Dream Yoga
Each year we spend at least 720 hours dreaming. In fact, most of us spend about one-third of our lives asleep. Dream yoga is a unique and transformative practice that allows you to explore your mind while dreaming, so that this significant portion of your life is being used to your greatest advantage. Learn about the mental and physical benefits of nocturnal practices and discover how awakening in your dreams can profoundly transform your waking life.
