Our first session, at noon Eastern. You'll meet your POD that same week.
The commitment
Make room for the work.
About three hours of meetings a week, plus the reading, the writing, and a practice you choose for every morning and evening. It's a real commitment, and it's the whole Course, not a lighter version of it.
Thirteen Tuesday sessions. Ninety minutes with me, live or on the recording. No session December 22.
Your POD. Five to seven people, usually six, for ninety minutes every week. At least ten of thirteen meetings live. Never recorded.
The weekly work. A chapter of the book, its Reflective Questions and Practice, and your morning and evening practice.
Two essays. Your One Thing, before we begin and again at the end.
Bring your person
Who would you want beside you for this?
Your partner. Your closest friend.
When you change, the people closest to you feel it first. If that person is doing the work at the same time, with the same words for what's happening, the change becomes something you share instead of something you have to explain.
You'd be in the same Course and different PODs, on purpose. Each of you needs your own copy of the book and your own registration. Send them this page: firehorse.press/course.
