What's on Offer:

Everyone who wants to learn Oli starts with the Foundation Teachings so you clearly understand what Oli/Chanting is and how it is part of everyday life, Healing & Protocol. In fact, in our Traditional Teachings we do not separate Oli from these Teachings because Oli is one of the Foundation Teachings in its own right. When you understand it, the Mana it connects you to is heart-bursting. You will learn to Oli with the goal of transcending Form. Taught over 2 Semesters (each Semester is 2 terms) -do one Semester or continue on and do both.
