Short Courses
Short courses of 3 and 9-day duration are available in Idaho for those who wish to delve deeper into the matter than is possible under other circumstances. These courses are a direct and intensive introduction to the key principles of the Unity of Existence and the perfectibility of Human-kind. They have a full roster of activities, including meditation and the study of writings from various traditions, all of which form the context for discussion. They also include work activities such as cooking or gardening, which are integral to the comprehensive nature of this education. Though the length of the courses is brief, they are very concentrated and unlimited in potential.
