Classes based on these videos are still available. The class option is best for more serious students and those who prefer some personal guidance. The difference here is that students study the relevant text(s) for each of the classes, do the practices twice each day, complete a journal (a daily record of (1) practices and experiences, (2) a summary of key points learned from study, (3) descriptions of application in daily life, and (4) questions they have about the study and practice) submitted to a teacher or mentor to help guide student learning (normally once each week). Classes are online with students proceeding at their own pace. The cost is based upon $10/class session. For example, the Essentials classes are 6 sessions each, and most other classes are 8 sessions each. Return to Take Classes for course descriptions and other details.
