When you are ready, you will have the experience you need
I came to Dr. Joe's work through my sister's experiences. I have seen firsthand the gentle sustained changes in her level of happiness. So first I watched the 13 episode series on Gaia. Then I bought the Progressive Course. Yes, it was $400, and yes, it has been worth it. I'm on my third time through and learning more each time. It takes real effort to learn to meditate for 45+ minutes every day. Like any challenge, when you first start to make change, the first thing that happens is that obstacles come up. That stops some people who aren't ready to change. I'm grateful that I'm making it through and seeing real change in my health, my attitude towards life, and my happiness. I am now signed up for a weeklong in October. I have done my homework. I expect it to be challenging. I know that it will start very early in the morning, and go very late at night. I know that at times I will be stretched to my maximum. I know that the retreat is not planned for people with children. You have to arrange full time childcare yourself. Full time means all day and night for all seven days. If you can't do that then this is not the right retreat for you. If you don't buy the Progressive Course then it disappears. There is now a download button for new meditation purchases. Download them. Then they can't disappear. Yes, it costs a lot of money to go to a weeklong retreat. Most of the cost goes to the airline to get you there, to the venue to house and feed you for a week, to the technicians who create the beautiful music and visuals to give you an amazing meditative experience, and to the researchers who document the physiologic changes in the participants. If you look at Dr. Joe's work schedule, he works steadily through the year, providing leadership for those of us who want to contribute to the next leap in consciousness for the human race. I am very grateful for the body of work he has created and the vision he has for change in the world. I'm a proud Penzie
