The history, technique, structure and application of hexing in various contexts are also examined.

Love for Sale - Half-Price

Love has the highest emotional value in our culture, yet to most of us it is surrounded by mystery. Although we revere and desire it, most people feel out of control of it. Many hope their lives will be blessed with love.

At the same time, they fear that it may be elusive or too expensive to obtain, and too difficult to keep up. Many of us don't know how to have love be ever-expanding, without which it is likely to end in disappointment.

Love for Sale - Half-Price offers ways we have seen to bring the love you imagine into your life, at much less cost than you might have guessed, and to have it thrive and grow.

A Glimpse of Seeing

"Seeing is admitting what you know. Love is the light by which you see. The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of action."

If you find yourself bumping into things in a dark room, you could... turn on the light! The Glimpse of Seeing is the light switch of life.

There is homework for each session - done alone and collaboratively. Weekly writing assignments will serve to refine your ability to see.

One course session/week + homework

The length of time for each session is determined by how long it takes - usually about three hours.

Students may anticipate spending approximately 5 or 6 hours/week on assignments outside the class.

Seeing is the portal to creativity, intimacy, confidence, and more fun.

“Fun is the goal, Love is the way” sounds nice, but what does it really mean?

How could you possibly live in today’s complex world and even entertain the notion that fun is the goal, let alone imagine living your life that way? Isn’t fun something you have when all else is handled? Maybe on the weekend after you’ve caught up on the week’s chores...

When Fun Is the Goal… Lab offers a revolutionary approach to living your life with pleasure in mind, no matter the circumstances. With help from inspiring video clips from Vic, Cindy, and Brian, the teachers will describe perspectives to make fun and pleasure a constant in your life, rather than relegated to some small compartment.

The weekly homework assignments will provide practical experience in approaching your life with fun as the goal which will make your days more sparkly, your relationships more intimate, your sense of meaning and contribution more deep.

This course is a roadmap to more fun.

Gift of Time: Looking with New Eyes

"Always remember to do everything you want to do. When death comes, you'll be relieved because you'll be so tired."

— Things I've Heard Vic Say, Volume V

It is a commonly held belief in our society that after a brief period of youth each of us is destined to a declining quality of life. The Gift of Time was originally written and presented by Dr. Victor Baranco in 1990 to consider life as an ever-expanding experience of good. Vic believed that this choice was available to anyone willing to hold alternative points of view.

Cindy Baranco has continued with the same keen observance of life so characteristic of Vic and has created an additional body of information on this subject. Cindy is particularly interested in the tendency of adults to act more and more genderless as they age and will present her ideas on having more of the sparkle of life by continuing to enjoy the fun of gender and maintaining sex as a possibility. She will describe how all the flavors of relationship and experiences you've dreamed of are available to you if you will look with new eyes at the people already in your life. This is a unique opportunity to hear Vic teach, along with Cindy's perspectives - both from years of living with him and from her personal and ongoing exploration of responsible hedonism.

In The Gift of Time, Vic said, "Everybody who's young is working and studying hard to get to be a good older." The prospect and subject of aging is pivotal to people of all ages.

The Gift of Time is a two-day video course. On Saturday we will present Vic in the original first sessions of the course. Sunday will be two sessions that were developed by Cindy & friends and recorded in March 2007.

"Looking with new eyes: there is no end to how good life can be if you find it good in the first place"

With a deepened understanding of perfection, fresh perspectives are brought to the specific life situations of the participants.

A recording of the Audience sessions is provided so if they wish, students can review the info again and again at ever deeper levels of understanding.

Sunday with Cindy: the Crimp

"God did his last work on Saturday; it's been Cindy ever since...oops, I mean Sunday."

- Things I've Heard Vic Say, Volume V

Vic and Cindy actively continued their evolving research all the way to Vic's death. Since then, Cindy has gone on to illuminate Vic's insights by giving them the full balance of a feminine voice and adding her further observations.

Cindy has become increasingly aware that there are layers of understanding that continue to expand her experience of joy and fulfillment. In Sunday with Cindy she shares some of her conclusions to date. She describes those parts of her research that have resulted for her in personal breakthroughs in happiness, love, sexual pleasure and embracing change. Cindy shares the processes she has found effective in bringing about these increases so that anyone willing to do the work can reap this bounty as well.

A pivotal subject of the course is what Cindy has named "the crimp". She has found that this product of social prejudice affects and limits all aspects of the lives of both women and men. She has given this nearly invisible set of viewpoints a shape and will show that if a person is simply aware of the phenomenon a new level of liberation and light-heartedness becomes available.

Sunday with Cindy: the Crimp is a video presentation of the original course held in Oct. 2008.

Saying Yes to Pleasure with Lab

Cindy Baranco's Saying Yes to Pleasure course, first presented live in March 2011, offers a description of how to have more love, fun and pleasure in all areas of life. Cindy identified a recent shift: there is now a "yes" where for a long time there had been a "no." This realization creates a renewed sense of optimism and the power to dramatically alter the perception of your whole life for the better. Cindy also described how to be interested and fully engaged in your relationships and in your life, making them more meaningful and fun.

The new five-week Saying Yes to Pleasure lab course is designed to be a transformative experience wherein you will gain more confidence and proficiency at using the tools and adopting the attitudes that guarantee ever-deepening intimacy in your life. With other students, interested in having the best life has to offer, you will watch the entire original information-dense course on video, spread out over four of the five weeks.

The homework assignments and subsequent classroom discussions are designed to practice opening up lines of communication between you and the other students - if you take the course with a partner, much of the homework can be done with each other to strengthen and deepen your connection. Your thoughts and experiences have value and you will discover how to communicate them to bring about the intimacy that each of us craves. Seeing yourself and one another more clearly in an environment where you are each found right, will bring a new level of compassion to your relationship and make available unrecognized reserves of love.

In our experience of this process, if you are a couple who loves each other, the spark that you think may have diminished between you will rekindle (and maybe even burst into flames!) A significant friendship may become more meaningful than ever before. The process is equally impactful taken as an individual and using the other students in the course to hone relationships skills.

Sharing the experiences of your journey in the classroom and on the confidential online student forum (limited to course participants) will create a support group with the same goals: having more fun and intimacy in life.

This course is for singles who want to examine & practice the tools to have deeper relationships, couples who want a deeper sense of connection, or any two or three people who want to take this journey of self-realization together.

This course is available as a private couple's intensive where, with Ilana, Alec, and Marilyn, couples explore ways to more deeply connect with one another. This is an immersive, tailor-made experience. To learn more, contact the Registrars.
