Personalized Commitment


This course is a deeper dive into the teachings and requires commitment. 

Having a group of people “all in” makes for solid support, bonding and transformation. 

This means you will do your best to follow through on the required parts of the course and speak up if you’re having trouble or have questions. The course also has the flexibility for each person to craft their own unique commitment and to revise it as necessary. 

Registering for the course means that you commit to:

  • Participate in and pay for all 8 months.

  • Read about and understand the requirements of the course and ask questions as you need information.

  • Follow all guidelines put forth in the materials.

  • View or listen to the monthly recorded class at the start of each month.

  • Attend (or view soon after) the monthly live Q&As.

  • Not mention or refer to the shares of other participants, whether those occur in Q&As, small groups or in the Facebook group.

  • Formulate a commitment that fits you and to update it to stay current with what you are discovering about yourself and your engagement with the course.

  • Share your commitment on the Facebook group as you formulate or change it.

  • Share monthly in the Facebook group for the duration of the course.

  • If you join an optional share group, attend all meetings, on time, for the whole meeting, with one miss allowed in case of emergency or conflict (two misses for twice-monthly groups).

  • Engage with the library at your discretion, ambition and availability. 

  • Attend the weekend events from start to finish.


Through honoring our shared commitments, you will discover things about yourself and learn to be with and bring mercy to the places in you that rise when you seek to fully engage. 

There will be plenty of support and mercy along the way to assist you with full engagement.

There will be support for people to really "work" this course and that is primarily what the course is for. However, some exceptions will be made for those who would like to engage the material in a less intense way.
