My personal journey began in 1971 when I experienced what some say Mark Twain said: "A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way." I taught various classes at Integral Yoga Institute, New York, for about 15 years, was certified there to teach meditation in 2002. All classes I taught were inter-faith, and all about "making practical everyday use" of Eastern spiritual psychology and philosophy, in those unavoidable, challenging, ups and downs of our everyday life. I also took weekly Course In Miracles classes for seven years, and have been teaching since 2002. When I taught at Rollins College, the name Rollins gave their classes is what I teach: Lifelong Learning. If you would like to talk about Zoom spiritual advising sessions, pricing, how they work, just let me know. But, no matter what way you choose to remember "you're a spiritual being having a human experience," do it. Just Do It! egobutton@gmail.com
