Schedule
The schedule and times of sessions will be announced during the intensive and may vary from day to day. Generally, however, you will engage in two or three sessions with Andrew each day, which are devoted to silent meditation, talks, open dialogues with Andrew, or a combination of these. The periods between sessions are an opportunity for participants to pursue their own independent inquiry into the meaning and significance of Evolutionary Enlightenment, either through personal meditation and contemplation or in the discussions that are always a powerful and transformative feature of these events. Between sessions, you might be asked to help with meal preparation and cleanup.
What to Bring
October in the Berkshires is world famous for its exquisite fall colors. The weather is likely to consist of brisk days and chilly evenings, and conditions can be unpredictable, so be prepared for wet weather as well.
Books, Audios, and Videos
Andrew's books, audios, and videos, as well as information on future events, will be available after lunch on Sunday, November 2. It will also be possible to purchase MP3 recordings of the weekend’s sessions.
