As a non-dogmatic, non-religious school, their aim is to help you develop your own light and wisdom and understanding that true wisdom comes from within, through your own personal experiences, rather than second-hand wisdom found in books or lectures. The awakening lectures are based on experiential exercises, time for reflection, sharing, music, and meditation.
