If you have been joining in with the above live-stream classes regularly and feel you want to go deeper with your study and practice, the Foundation Program by correspondence may be a perfect next step for you. Joining the program involves studying an entire book (or section) and listening to all classes, each of which include meditation, teachings and prayers. Every five weeks or so there is a discussion-based class.
The in-person classes take place on Thursday evenings with scheduled breaks throughout the year. Audio recordings are supplied to enrolled correspondence students as MP3 audio files within one week of the in-person class. Read more HERE.
