The Game of Life and How to Play It
In a nutshell: If life is thought of as a game, we are motivated to learn and apply the rules for our own happiness.
Until now, you may have conceived of life as a battle: your might and will against the rest or, alternatively, the pain of constant struggle.
However, if you were to see life as a game, you would worry less about the outcomes and focus on the rules and laws that can lead you to success. This is the path of less resistance and more time for world wonder. By taking it, you choose to be a person of faith instead of fear.

In this class, we will over-come self- defeating beliefs to strengthen our connection to the world and to know, without question, that we are worthy of self-discovery, personal growth, and boundless love.

Book: The Power of Decision by Raymond Charles Barker
Our decisions impact every area of our lives. Making better decisions means living a better life. But how can we develop the habit of making great decisions?
In this class, based on the groundbreaking book by Raymond Charles Barker, we will learn how to overcome indecision and specific steps to shift the balance of decision-making power in our favor.
Indecisive people are failure prone, and Dr. Barker examines this basic truth while exploring the decision-making process in the individual, and the role of the subconscious mind in either abetting or thwarting each of our conscious decisions. He provides specific steps to shift the balance of decision-making power in your favor, and he brings to light the constant, ever-present power of will to change a situation- and yourself-for the better.
Based on the book: The Power of Decision book by Raymond Charles Barker

The Surrender Experiment
Facilitator: TBA
Tuition: $120 plus book
Course length: 6 weeks, 2.5 hours per week
Book: The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer
In this class, we will learn to let go of personal preferences and simply let life call the shots. On this great experiment and journey into life’s perfection, our deepest assumptions will be challenged and we will be inspired to look at life in a radically different way.
The Untethered Soul & The Surrender Experiment
At times intuition directs us to surrender and let go. It became evident as preparations were made to begin this class, the Surrender Experiment would essentially play a companion role to Michael Singer’s signature work, The Untethered Soul. The curriculum was already prepared, provided and received in Divine Right Order.
What would it be like to be free from limitations and soar beyond your boundaries? What can you do each day to find this kind of inner peace and freedom? The Untethered Soul offers a simple, profoundly intuitive answer to these questions. Michael A. Singer’s The Surrender Experiment uses the extraordinary events that led to his very successful outer life to teach the process of deep inner surrender that leads to spiritual liberation.
On this great experiment and journey into life’s perfection, our deepest assumptions will be challenged and we will be inspired to look at life in a radically different way.
Susan Fehte will assist this class and guide us through deep meditation and breathwork.
