COURSES
Welcome to the 6th International Master Class on Northern Cyprus at Top Set Hotel October 13-23, 2011.
![]()  
Our Spirit Guide Veda Vyaasa has dictated this year's invitation in the following simple yet powerful text:
"Teachers from all over the world are invited to come, evaluate, and share their and other's work under the guidance of experienced Vedic scholars. Why Cyprus? Being in the midst of the clashes between cultures in the Mediterranean area, Cyprus has become a haven for teachers that freely choose to participate and support the transmission of new energies that are coming in for a new age, peaking in its portal during 2012. From north to south, east to west, energy is pouring in to support the process of peace in this eruptive and turbulent area. Through the laws of nature, Mother Earth has planned for this moment since ages far back. Let your self be inspired by other teachers from different walks of life and unify for the new era to come.
If you are one of the persons that feels inclined to join in this timely process during the period of change that is coming upon earth please contact Judith and Conny by email or telephone.
Yours Sincerely,
Vyaasa"
The first class will start at 10.00 am October 13th, and all participants are requested to be present at that time and to attend for a minimum of 5 days. As earlier course members have experienced, the success of the process is directly related to the brain coherence of the group members that we create by being physically and spiritually present from day one.
What is the Master Class?
It is the meeting of Teachers from all over the world to connect, to heal, to teach and to learn. We meet each year on Cyprus, heart chakra of our planet and birthplace of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. Knowledge and experience from different traditions and philosophies is shared without presenting any movement or discipline as being higher or better than any other. The course is however presented with a reverence and appreciation for Vedic knowledge as a backdrop due to the 40 year connection with this tradition that the organizers, Conny Larsson and Judith Bourque, have stayed in tune with during their lives. Teachers participate through teaching one or more sessions. Then teachers become pupils when the other teachers teach. The class is also open to those who do not teach actively but who wish attend as a participant. Anyone who is an established teacher or practitioner of some spiritual or health related discipline is welcome to apply for presentation or participation.
However, since our process has evolved from being highly information oriented to highly process oriented, we now only have teacher presentations in the afternoons which leaves presentation slots for ten teachers. First time teachers will be given priority for the afternoon slots. Please do not feel that you are not qualified enough or "good enough" to come. Should you feel a longing to join us for the purpose of your own healing, just get in touch.
