Awakening Joy is an internationally recognized Internet course created by noted teacher and author, James Baraz. The course is designed to awaken joy through an exciting curriculum of principles and practices that incline the mind toward well-being, happiness and ease. Led by James, the course features a range of renowned guest speakers and fosters a supportive community of fellow participants. Over 12,000 people worldwide have experienced the power of Awakening Joy, and the course has been celebrated in media publications such as O Magazine. Bill Gates has recommended Awakening Joy on his Summer Reading List.
Awakening Joy is a 5-month course with a different theme every other week. Themes such as mindfulness, gratitude and intention are explored with talks by leading experts, accompanying audio, video and written materials, and a series of supporting practices to deepen insight. Participants can access the course at anytime, from anywhere, and engage with fellow participants through online forums, “joy buddies,” local Awakening joy support groups and interactive conference calls with James.
Everyone taking the course is enrolled as an Internet participant, but there is an *add-on option* to attend the onsite recording sessions in Berkeley, California. The live classes are video and audio recorded so they are available to both Internet and onsite participants whenever they choose. The recording sessions are held the week before each theme’s material is made available (the classes are not viewed as a live feed).
