Awakening Joy: 10 Steps to a Happier Life

We are excited to introduce a beautiful program to help us cultivate joy as more of that place we just “come from.”  To give us practices and wisdom that we can use to deepen, explore, expand, and awaken joy within, and be ready to help others experience theirs, too.

Respected teacher James Baraz is offering his popular Awakening Joy course for 2023. More than 20,000 people have en-joyed this program from all around the world. 

Maybe you’d like to join this year.

The course presents 10 practice themes – including compassion, gratitude, dealing with the difficult, and loving ourselves- over a five-month period to develop more consciousness, love and caring in ourselves, and in the process, to help remind others of the good inside and around them.

Sessions are held live on Zoom with class recordings available within 48 hours.  You’ll receive practice letters and other supportive materials throughout the January to June course.

Every other week, a new theme is introduced. Each theme inclines the mind towards a specific wholesome state, bringing awareness to the gladness that accompanies it. Here are the themes to be explored:

1.   Intention

2.   Mindfulness

3.   Gratitude

4.   Joy in Difficult Times

5.   Integrity

6.   The Joy of Letting Go

7.   Loving Ourselves

8.   Connection with Others

9.   Compassion

10. The Joy of Being
