This first class will cover a brief introduction to the rest of the series. James will cover the following topics: different paths, creating a sacred space, intention/karma, and other beliefs. This class is intended to be a series that a person would take throughout the year. We will also discuss why the class is for a year. If a class is missed, students may contact the instructor for a makeup session. If students do not make up missed classes they cannot take the next class in succession. Please bring a notebook and a writing utensil.
