12-week personal meditation course

There’s still time to enroll for an online course on insight meditation taught by vipassana meditation masters Sharon Salzberg and Joseph Goldstein.  It begins on January 21, 2010, and continues for 12-weeks.

While it is live and interactive, you can still participate even if your schedule conflicts by downloading the audio a few days after each presentation.

And if you want to take the course and also have personal one-on-one time with an Insight Meditation mentor, there’s an option in the enrollment, but space is limited.You may want to look into the details at Sounds True (affiliate link), the course coordinators and hosts.

You can arrange your private instruction to fit your schedule (there’s an extended time period from the end of the course to continue your mentorship if necessary).

Salzberg and Goldstein began teaching this as a correspondence course in 1996. All of the instructional content from their original course is adapted and offered in this as a learning intensive highlighted by five live teaching sessions with Salzberg and Goldstein.
