Session 1: Foundations

This session comprises four recordings that total about an hour. Please listen to them one at a time, allowing a day or two integration time before moving to the next. Each segment ends with a “seed question” or “seed sentence,” like a mantra, that will get gears turning in your heart and mind. Feel free to discuss what they bring up on our course forum.

Optional NAAS Subscription

This course has run as a DIY course, and you are welcome to do it that way. However, for many people it is more powerful to work the material with a group. My business partner and former wife Patsy and I host a network community called A New and Ancient Story (short for NAAS). It is an online network dedicated to reverence in communication. If you would like to participate in it in conjunction with this course, go to the community landing page and read the introduction and posting guidelines. If you feel resonant, you can join through additional subscription. Once you are a member, you will find archives of discussions on course forums on the left menu as well as participating in many features NAAS offers
