Course Description









Free Introductory Talk
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.






First Sphere
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 ascending as a group. This gives everyone a chance to practice the new techniques as they learn them, and to ask questions and receive feedback from the teachers.

Course fee: $375. Registration is required.

Space is limited and will be reserved in the order registrations are recieved Once you complete the course, you may re-take (audit) it as often as you like, free of charge.






Advanced Meetings
Here Ascenders have the chance to meet with Ascension teachers. Teachers can give advanced techniques at this time or answer questions about the changing experiences of life that result from the regular practice of Ascension. Often an advanced meeting is set for the Saturday night of a First Sphere Weekend, or may be scheduled when a teacher is in the area.






Advanced All Day
An Advanced All Day is a day spent ascending eyes closed from 10 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. Teachers can give advanced techniques at this time or answer questions as needed.

Course Fee: varies per course (Average fee $25/day) Registration is required.






Advanced Weekends
Advanced Weekend is a new two day course. Saturday is Ascending from 10am-4pm followed by a potluck and then at 7pm, an Advanced Meeting. Sunday is Ascending from10am-4pm and the day ends with a meeting until 5pm. Bring light snacks for Sunday. Optional lodging may be available for some Advanced Weekends, otherwise this course is daytime only.

During this course, participants have an opportunity to experience longer periods of Ascending in a group. Discussion periods, with teachers, cover advanced topics and questions about one's practice.






Retreats
A retreat gives participants the chance to take a break from everyday life and spend time Ascending with a group, which is quite different from Ascending individually. Each evening, Ascenders gather with teachers to share what is happening for them, to ask questions, and to integrate Ascension more fully into their everyday lives.

Course Fee: varies per location. Registration is required.

Retreats vary in length and are held in a variety of locations around the world. Please view our Retreat Schedule.






Intensives
Intensives are a minimum of 7 days. This course is recommended for the serious student. Its advanced environment is created to simulate aspects of the 6 month Advanced Retreat and Training Program and encourages one to study the inner Self deeply. With higher guidance, participants can recognize an even greater level of commitment in themselves.

Book Readings
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.

Each of these life-changing books, in its own way, clearly speaks of the simplicity and ease with which life can be lived.
