My understanding of and connection with the universe expanded and has become vitally alive. This phenomenal course was grounded in its visionary teachers, thought-provoking scientific and metaphysical focus, and engaging interactive process. The highest accolade I can give is that this is the best learning experience–-intellectually and spiritually-–I have ever had.

— Imogene Drummond (commenting on her experience in the fall 12 week course.)

Quotes from Participants

during the fall 12 week course — Cosmology, Consciousness and Birthing the Ecozoic

This course cracked me open in the best possible way.

— Imogene Drummond

A sumptuous feast.  

It is all and more than I expected – I am not new to the material though have certainly learned and gained new insights into the wonderful planet we call “home”. 

The assignments are doable, interesting, and inviting.  I am enjoying the course very much.

Am loving it. The small groups are wonderful. It is such a marvelous group of participants. The networking is fabulous.  Love the opening and thoughtful reflections.

I look forward to every session.

Life has been sufficiently confusing this year that not only is this a great distraction but an edifying one at that!!

I had to miss two weeks and was aware there was something missing in my life, so I know I am finding it really useful and challenging.  Also good to make connections.

Excellent … I am feeling inspired, energized, and more-connected-than ever!  I am also enjoying the arc of the course, the meditations, quote sharing, and especially the content. 

The content is very interesting and the community so rich.  I have been in other Zoom courses in the last years and usually an important proportion of the participants close the camera, do other things while the session is going on… In here most people is really “here.”
