The Practice provides the opportunity to continue the evolution that you began in Naka-Ima. It is intended to give you a deeper experience and understanding of the tools and concepts from the Naka-Ima course. You will have the opportunity to integrate them fully into your way of being, which will make them readily accessible in your life. You will identify your core attachment and look at how pervasive it is in your life - how much it actually controls what you do, how you act, and how you respond. Many students have experienced "core attachment enlightenment" during The Practice.

You will be connected with a group of  four or five people throughout the course. Attention is focused on communicating clearly and honestly with one another. Contributing to others is learned on a deeper level, with time for both instruction and experimentation in this area. One of the truly wonderful aspects of The Practice is the levity and laughter generated in the course. And unlike Naka-Ima, there is time each afternoon to nap, walk, swim, or just hang out leisurely with friends.

We will stay together at a beautiful retreat center for the entirety of the course, creating community and sharing delicious organic food. This course will be taught by Candace Scheidegger, Deborah Riverbend and Larry Kalowitz.

Tuition for The Practice: $540 - $740 sliding scale, this includes meals and lodging Note: We offer the sliding scale in an attempt to make Naka-Ima courses available for those with limited incomes. Please pay on the higher end of the scale if you can afford to.

A $100 deposit is required to hold your place in the course.
