The Oasis

Participants in IAM webcourses are like travelers in a desert caravan, making their way through the shifting sands of inner and outer experience, by sunlight and starlight. They may use computers rather than camels, but it is a great journey in the truest sense. Guided by the webcourse leader, the curriculum carefully crafted by Puran and Susanna Bair and the inspiring teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the caravan of travelers makes its way into the unexplored terrain of body, mind, heart and soul, challenging perceived limitations, forging true friendships, and changing lives.

It's no wonder that, as participants near the completion of a webcourse, they report two paradoxical feelings:

• They are genuinely tired from the demands of the journey and feel they need resting time to process all that has happened, AND

• They don't want the webcourse to end!

That's just what The Oasis is for. The Oasis is a new offering to webcourse participants from IAM. It's a resting place between webcourses that allows continued community with fellow travelers, as well as suggested practices to facilitate integration of all that was learned on the last journey and readiness to join the next caravan. The Oasis will be moderated by Jody Curley. She will respond to the group once a week and make suggestions for group practices.
