James Baraz has been a meditation teacher since 1978 and is a co-founding Teacher of Spirit Rock in Woodacre, CA.  He is also co-author of the book, Awakening Joy and Awakening Joy for Kids.  He went on to develop the program Awakening Joy from his book.


Awakening Joy is a ten step program.  Through the course, joy grows from an experience, to an anchor, to a foundation in one's everyday life.  The program teaches us to turn toward the good, open to the good, and allow that expansive state to hold the challenging times as well.


The Awakening Joy course begins on January 30th with the first step and then small practice groups meet the following week.  This format would be ongoing ending around June 1st as we integrate each step for two weeks (a twenty week program).


Corina and Michele are holding space for an Awakening Joy practice group in conjunction with James Baraz's Awakening Joy Course.   As a group, we can receive $100 off the program cost.

 

If you you need an additional rate reduction- that is no problem as no one is turned away due to financial reasons, just contact Gretchen:  admin@awakeningjoy.info


In addition to the talks and groups, James includes supplemental letters, cards, and support material.
