Inner Alchemy presents a class with popular teacher Michael Bogar:

When My Spiritual Treatments Don't Work: Then What?

Historically, human beings have lived on a mental and emotional pendulum fluctuating between happiness and misery. These two extremes are the central topic of myths and movies, and are the reason for politics, religion, medicine and therapy. The New Thought Movement offers spiritual tools for deliverance from this misery, but what do we do when it "doesn't work"! In this class we will explore this dilemma by honoring the effectiveness of spiritual mind treatment and the experiences of disappointment when it doesn't seem to work -- and we will seek to reconcile these vast differences.

Three classes on Tuesday January 8th, February 12 and March 12 from 7-9pm. Early bird pricing of $70 for all three classes until December 21.

**Prerequisite for this class is having taken Beyond Limits with the Center for Spiritual Living.

Michael has taught the classical religious texts from many religious traditions and is a very effective teacher of spiritual and psychological phenomena.

There is no wasted moment in a soul-making life.
