I'm applying the funds from my abortive retreat attempt at MAPLE this spring to participate in an online course they are offering. It seems like a nice overview of the various practices they do at MAPLE...and you don't have to get up at 4:30 in the morning.

If anyone else is interested:

I was actually just up at MAPLE Saturday for about 6 hours, very nice, earnest people. Had a long conversation with Soryu about powers helping to make humans less human-o-centric, less materialistic, and also about the EPRC project.

Yes, the program there is rigorous and demanding.

Hope your interactions with them go well!

This is a conversation I would pay money to listen in on.
