These free lectures are designed to
acquaint people with the Art of Ascension as taught by the Ishayas.
Teachers discuss the nature of the mind and how this practice works to
effortlessly remove stress from the nervous system. It is an opportunity
to listen and to ask questions. It is also an opportunity for practicing
Ascenders to bring friends and share their experiences with newcomers.


During this three-day seminar, participants learn the first four
Ascension Attitudes,collectively called the First Sphere.
Throughout the weekend, instruction is alternated with time spent

to ask questions and receive feedback from the teachers.

During this free talk, teachers of
the Ishayas’ Ascension will share about and
read passages from one of MSI’s books.
MSI's books are transformative
and based on the Wisdom of the Ishayas.
A time for questions is included in this 60-90 minute event.

clearly speaks of the simplicity and ease
with which life can be lived.
