Spring has sprung---and so can you! 

You can spring forward with new ideas, new ways of looking at things, and a brand-new attitude about the next chapter in your life.

Join us for a four-week exploration of the ground-breaking book, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. The Four Agreements shows you how to develop habits that can transform your thinking and change your life by improving the most important relationship in your life—the one with yourself. Each class will cover one of the 4 agreements.

Spring is a time of new beginnings, of growth, of change. Give yourself that new beginning. Make agreements with yourself that can take you from confusion to freedom, by ridding yourself of limiting beliefs about who you are and what you are capable of.

Looking forward to you joining us!

William James is one of America's pre-eminent philosophers, along with Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson was, in fact, William James' godfather. William James was accomplished as a psychologist and is known as the "Father of American Psychology." He had a deeply held belief in the connection between mind and body and did extensive research in this area in his laboratory at Harvard. He also had a great interest in what was known as the mind-cure movement at the time and successfully used these practices to heal his long-standing condition of depression.

This seminar will include an exploration of key writings and ideas of William James that have enriched the evolution of New Thought and inspired its pioneers, including Ernest Holmes. There will be a focus on reading and discussing two of James' essays in particular, and copies of these will be provided to the participants. William James was known as a great thinker, and this seminar will broaden and enrich the thinking of the participants into new realms on pertinent subjects in New Thought. 

Non-accredited.
