PROGRAM PREMISE

“Freedom, our birthright, is the true purpose of this life” ~Neelam

In this year’s six month program for returning students, the invitation is to come into a deeper Surrender, Awakening and Freedom. Through recognizing the role of the NS in Awakening and Freedom, we will enliven our Inquiry, Embodiment and grow the capacity of our NS to Be Here.

The Desire for Truth and Freedom, like Presence itself, is already always Here. It manifests as an ongoing movement into a deeper Surrender. Because of our reliance on the past we don’t always recognize or Trust that movement or have the capacity of the NS and the strength of Discrimination to truly Be Here.

The tendencies that bring us here, regardless of the depth of our recognition of Presence often times still remain hidden and functional. It is in the direct addressing of that that we find true change and transformation – The ultimate fulfillment of our life’s goal – Peace Love and lasting Freedom.

The capacity of our nervous system to Be Here is oftentimes the missing link between Direct Experience of Presence and Awakening. Between the Embodiment and Freedom, where Presence becomes available to us in the moment, regardless of what are the current circumstances of our life.

When I speak about Freedom I speak about living in a dynamic, alive recognition of Presence and in the true independence from the past.

A powerful strengthening as well as deepening of our capacity to Be Here comes from learning how to fully recognize and meet the sensations of our arising experiences just the way they are in the present. We recognize, then we address some of our past tendencies – the unseen and unmet imprints based on our experiences in the past, where we have believed individually and collectively that Truth, Presence and Love are not already Here.

I invite you all to join me in this program as Freedom is the true purpose of this life and every moment, including our time together is an invitation to Freedom.

This program besides the sharing of information is experiential in its nature and you will have the opportunity to ask questions, practice and deepen your experience of the teaching. The nervous system and the skillful means of Inquiry will be explored and you’ll learn how to build the capacity of the nervous system to Be Here.

REFUND POLICY

We encourage all participants to remain in the program and work through the arising issues in Presence and through Inquiry as that is part of the program and it assures the success of your participation.

However in case of unforeseen and life changing circumstances that would prevent you from completing the program we offer a limited, percentage based refund policy.

There are no refunds after January 6th, 2019. We put a great deal of energy into creating this program and rely on your commitment financially to provide the best experience possible.

We are a non-profit and we rarely have students requesting refunds, but just in case here is an outline. There is a 30% office support fee of the total program cost, and a percentage fee depending on how long you spent in the course.

For example: if you only participated in 2 months of 6 months, the remaining 70% class fee would get divided by 3 (as 2 months is a third of 6 months). So we would keep 30% office support and 23.3% class fee, a total of 53.3%, and you would receive 46.7% return. If desired, the refund can be in the form of a credit on your account toward a future program.

We welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns before refunding your payment. If there is something we can assist you with, please contact us at info@neelam.org at any time during the program
