Greetings Megha - allow me to jump in here :-)

Firstly to say that none of the Openhand courses could be considered "basic". It's an advanced program of spiritual development courses, all interconnected, that begin where the mainstream ends.

Secondly, although called 'courses', and there is plenty to learn on them, really, what they are, is advanced energy work. They'll engage your energy field - your configuration of consciousness - at exactly where you're at and catalyse a leap forwards.

We invite people to begin at the level 1 called "Breakthrough" (5GATEWAYS is the level 2). The next Breakthrough course would be this one in Glastonbury UK at the end of February...

I trust this clarifies

Open *OK*
