Q: How can I get general Introductory information?

A: Click here. Or you could email us (see bottom of page.)

Q: How can I find out where courses are scheduled?

A: Click here to submit a Schedule Request. Classes are sponsored by hosts. And hosts are very friendly people. (That's how we do all our courses. People volunteer to be hosts and have people come to their home or office -- it's a very grass-roots thing.)

Q: How are Ascension courses set up?

A: We generally travel to various cities when we're invited to come give a course. It's very informal. Just contact us and we'll chat.

First, a host (you?) volunteers their living room or office for a course and then people just seem to gather together and we have the weekend course.

Q: What is a Weekend Course? And what happens there?

A: It’s where people learn the Ishayas’ Teachings. It's Friday night, 7-9. Saturday 10-5. Sunday 10-5.

Two teachers usually come to every course, depending upon the size of the class. If there's only 1 or 2 students, then it can be done by 1 teacher.

We ask $300 for the weekend. Cost isn't dependent upon how many come. Sometimes it is only 2 or 3 people, but it all works out in the end.

You learn to ascend with the first technique given on Friday evening. As we say in the course, it's really the only technique you'll ever need to ascend. But other techniques are good to accelerate the process and help it flow. The weekend gives you everything you need.

And at any time after your first weekend, you can repeat (or "audit") the class as many times as you like, anywhere in the world, at no cost. (Many people repeat the course lots of times, and always get something new out of it.)

Q: How many techniques are presented in a weekend?

A:  There are four techniques in each of Five Spheres of the Ishayas Teachings: praise, gratitude, love and cognition. You receive the first four techniques in the weekend course.)

Q:  What's daily practice entail?

A: We recommend 20 minutes of practice with the techniques, 2 or 3 times a day: when arising, late afternoon and before bed. Maximum benefit comes from steady use of the techniques.

Q: Does it require years of practice?

A: No. In fact, Ascension is effective immediately. We focus on "effortlessness."  It is simply not true that what is your birthright, after all, needs to be difficult.

Q:  Does everyone "get" it?

A:  We find that "getting it" is not the problem. The main difficulty we encounter is a person's mistaken belief that it's not working when everyone around them is saying what remarkable changes have occurred. Letting go of stress is all that's required. And it can be easy.

Q: What are the qualifications of the teachers?

A: Every teacher takes a seven-month Training. Using the techniques at least 16 hours daily is required. At the end of the Training, a person has let go of all stress in the nervous system, and has attained a higher level of consciousness.

Q: How much notice is required to take a weekend course?

A:  Friday evening, showing up at the door, is fine.  Although usually you'd want to communicate with the host of the course to let them know you're coming.  But it's OK to do that the day of the course!

Q: How can I find out more about hosting a course?

A: Basically, it works like this: we are invited to people's homes, where we stay during the weekend. Most people who host the teachers prefer the teachers to stay at their house because they want to spend time talking, etc.   Sometimes, we sleep on living room floors and sometimes in luxury bedrooms. We never know what to expect, but that's what make life fun!

One of the things we live by is "just accepting what the Universe has to offer, in each moment." We’re mostly vegetarian, but we accept whatever. Teachers expectations?  Zero.  We accept what the Universe provides and are happy with that. Isn't that a great way to live??

To get started with your desire to host a course, simply email us (see below for email address).  You can find lots more about hosting by clicking here.

Q: Are there advanced courses or advanced classes?

A: There are more techniques that help to accelerate the process. But you learn how to ascend at the weekend course. Thus, no other classes are needed to begin using the advanced techniques.

And during the weekend, we discuss what more is available to you: Advanced Weekends, Advanced Techniques, Retreats, and a lot more...
