Who is the course for?
Anyone wanting to deepen their practice of YN, or discover it for the first time, whilst simultaneously going through the process of death cleaning.
The assignments are about your practice and your responses to it, as well as the process of sorting through your possessions. This isn't only about physical 'stuff', it's also about sorting through your emotional baggage, reflecting on and curating your memories, good and bad, and letting them go.

As you dispose of unwanted possessions, due to illness (your own or someone close), downsizing, or a desire to simplify your life, learn to relax deeply, go beyond thoughts,
memories and images to the place of boundless awareness, where
“you” and “I” disappear.
