Andrew Harvey – The Christ Path Advanced Intensive
WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS 9-MONTH INTENSIVE
During the 9 months, Andrew will build upon the essential pillars of a ‘Christed’ life while skillfully guiding you through the fundamental spiritual skills and practices that you’ll need to transform your body, mind and spirit while living in the modern world.
Each training session will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to sustain your Christ Path in everyday life.
The main course sessions will air from 5-7 pm Pacific / 8-10 pm Eastern time on Thursdays. However, even if you cannot make the scheduled calls, you can still get the full benefit of this Intensive.
We have also incorporated the invaluable feedback that we have received from Andrew’s students and graduates to create a powerful online format for transformational learning and practice.
If you are truly ready to dive deep into the transformative power of the Christ Path, this 9-Month Advanced Intensive with Andrew Harvey is the perfect training for you.
Regular class sessions are on Thursdays at 5:00pm Pacific.
