NEW LESSONS TO BE SENT OUT STARTING THIS WEEK: Many fast-track students continued to receive coursework by email during the holiday break, however, new courses and lessons will be forthcoming now that our faculty and adjunct faculty resume their duties.

We are excited that our new facilities, located right in the center of the U.S., will enable us to provide better service than during our early years when we were ‘way down in the SE corner of the nation in Florida. This gets us out of the hurricane belt (we were hit by five hurricanes during the past three years). Not even the powerhouse Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans did any damage here. We are located in northern Louisiana, near Arkansas. That’s so far inland that this area was spared the devastation wrecked on New Orleans by killer Hurricane Katrina.

Our sprawling new facilities include space for us to establish our long dreamed-of small retreat center. We have a lovely waterfront guesthouse under development that will enable people to come for seminars and workshops as well as to accommodate longer-term occupancy by students working on research projects, residencies, etc. The guesthouse will include studio apartment lodging in a lovely lakeside setting, surrounded by silent forests…a covered over-the-water study and meditation deck, as well as options for canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and hiking.
