Our different local centers offer classes open to initiates, while some centers offer inquirer classes for those interested in initial exploration. For those interested in retreats, our guides offer group and personal retreats. If you're interested in classes or finding out more about retreats, contact the local leader in your area.

From time to time our senior teachers, based throughout the country, hold events in our area. These events are usually open to the public and are a good way to make initial contact.
