Awakening Joy Course 2012
By Editor | Jan 1 2012
with James Baraz
The 2012 Awakening Joy Course is now officially open for registration. I'm very excited about next year's course and hope you join us. We will have a great line-up of guest speakers that includes six teachers from Spirit Rock (besides myself) as well as high caliber happiness and neuroscience experts sharing their wisdom. You can see the line-up of speakers, the dates of next year's classes and other information at the Awakening Joy website.
Check out our Facebook page. We'll be using it throughout the year as a source of quotes and inspiring material for anyone who would like to have that support. In addition, we'll have live conference calls so that those taking it online can check in with their practice too.
Rick Hanson says, "James Baraz is a co-founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and has created Awakening Joy, a ten-month experiential course to develop our natural capacity for happiness and well-being.... The course is grounded in modern science and ancient wisdom.... It very honestly faces the hard parts of life while also exploring the healing, refueling, and awakening powers of joy. It's unique and frankly not to be missed."
