Optimism Central

Item Description

This course will give you a broad understanding of the transition our civilization is moving through. This understanding will help you to make better decisions about your personal life. You will learn how to navigate the transformation and benefit from the arising opportunities. As a new world is emerging, so is a new you.

The course leader, Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., is a Cuban-born psychologist, anthropologist and author who has studied the shamanic healing practices of the Amazon and Inca shamans for over 25 years. He is the founder of The Four Winds Society, which offers a two-year long program in energy medicine and leads trips to Peru.

December 21, 2012 represents a unique opportunity for renaissance, renewal and reinvention that people have waited for for centuries. The interactive online course will have 4 sessions and in each session Villoldo will be joined by a special guest* who is, like him, an expert in the exploration of the meaning of 2012.

The course will include five sessions, December 1, 8, 15, 22 and January 9 from 9am – 10:30am PST. Any courses you're unable to attend will be recorded.

Themes of the sessions:

1. The shamanistic perspective. With Don Miguel Ruiz, Toltec master and author

2. The evolutionary perspective. With Bruce Lipton, cell biologist

3. The consciousness perspective. With Jill Bolte Taylor, neuroanatomist

4. The scientific perspective. With Greg Braden, scientist and author
