Getting Ready!

Several of you have asked what you need to do to be ready to begin your training. The answer is:

Begin ordering the books on your Reading List—so much fun! See pdf below
Create your method for taking class notes. You will want to take lots of notes during class. For some of you it may be a notebook you write in, for others it may be a file on your laptop or ipad.
Find a personal journal that appeals to you. As mentioned in the video above, for some of you it will be a beautiful book you write in while for others it will be a file on your phone or computer. Either way, find a way to keep it special and easy to use.
If you prefer to keep everything in one place and combine your class notes with your meditation journal, that's fine too.
