Awakening Joy is an Internet course with an add-on option to attend on-site recording sessions in Berkeley, California. The on-site classes are video and audio recorded so they are available to both Internet and on-site participants whenever they choose.

The course goal is to awaken joy through monthly principles and practices that incline the mind toward well-being, happiness and joy.

The principles of the course are universal, although much of the material includes Buddhist philosophy drawn from the James Baraz’s 30 years as a Buddhist meditation teacher.
