The trouble with ordinary people is that they were never established — fundamentally, truly, and altogether — in Divine Self-Realization. Instead, they adapted to all the patterns of their functions in a weakened, threatened, “Narcissistic” manner, emotionally dissociated from all their intimate relations and, ultimately (and fundamentally), from the Divine.

– Avatar Adi Da Samraj, March 29, 1983


LEARN HOW TO DEVELOP:

  • Awareness of the Inherent Unity in which we all appear
  • A positive relationship to food, and to That Which Truly Sustains
  • A healthy sense of individuation and autonomy
  • Sensitivity to the natural energies of others
  • The right balance between privacy and social visibility
  • Insight into “Oedipal” suffering or unconscious emotional patterning
  • The true moral compass for living as “I love you”
  • A greater capacity for cooperation with others
  • Discriminative intelligence and a will to go beyond limitations

This day-long seminar will include discussion and interactive exercises, video footage of Avatar Adi Da addressing these topics, and materials from the just-released book, The First Three Stages of Life.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID:


Richard's seminar was delivered in an engaging fashion, enlivened by many personal stories from his own life and experience. I heartily recommend it to anyone with an interest in exploring the emotional, physical, and mental underpinnings of our lives. Richard is intimately familiar with Adi Da’s Teachings relative to the first three stages of life and is able to easily convey these principles to his listeners. Time is also given to exploring these teachings in small group settings, allowing individuals to share their own responses and experiences with others, and allowing us to integrate the ideas into our own lives in a meaningful way.

— John Schorske, Boston

Thank you so much for a great seminar, the material is just outstanding, your teaching remarkable. Praise Adi Da.

— Silvano Rispoli, Montreal

[On Richard's "Core Insights" Seminar:] I experienced Richard's seminar as a profound and compelling call to step up, with courage and joy, to a higher level of responsibility regarding the central emotional issues and relationships of my life. It was also an opportunity to do so in the seminar's unique environment. Engaging, challenging, surprising—and fun.”
