  • The different stages of life and how we work within them
  • Working on ourselves as we advance in age
  • Working in preparation for our own death
  • The theory and practice in varying traditions of higher bodies
  • What does it mean that we die in Thirds?
  • How do we work with the fear of death—Is it important to be free of that fear?
  • How do we strengthen our inner resolve to develop higher bodies?
  • What is meant that we die before we die—What dies while we live?

We have arranged for everyone who wishes to have an audience with the Pope during the Wednesday audience.

Jerry has been leading inner work groups in Baltimore and New York for many years and has travelled with groups to Turkey, India, Morocco, Uzbekistan and the U.S. Southwest.
