"Step into the divine possibility of being what we are in fullness when the soul leads. Discover how powerful our ability to choose really is and what a difference it can make to choose well. It matters—not only for us, but for others, and future generations as well."  

—Yogacharya O’Brian, the Jewel of Abundance

Each stage of life holds divine potential waiting to be recognized and embraced. When we uncover the innate potential at the Forest Dweller stage, a profound transformation inspires us to step into the divine possibility of spiritual awakening for ourselves and future generations.

This online course provides a structure for participants to explore the third stage of life in greater depth. We will focus on the key responsibilities inherent in this phase and allow ample time for practicing these duties throughout the course. The sessions will include meditation, teaching, reflection, and community sharing.
