Home study with video

Are you unable to follow the lessons live onsite or online? Then you can order video recordings of some of the lessons. Over time, this page will be filled with more and more options for home study.

You will receive an email with a link to the recordings on Vimeo, the text that accompanies the lessons can be found as an attachment to the email. The videos can be accessed as many times as you want, they are not downloadable.

If you have the choice, we recommend that you follow the lessons live. Then you have contact with a teacher and you practice in a community, two important factors on the path. In the future we will organize online meetings for home students, where you can get in touch with other practitioners.
