We have had a number of requests for online Basics Bardo Training. Because times are changing, traveling is getting more difficult and because online training is so effective, the team is working on making Bardo Basics Training available online to everyone. So no matter where you are, you be able to take the At Home Bardo Basics course. Obviously, you will still need a computer and internet connection.
We expect this to be possible in June 2005.

Stay tuned

Below a letter from E.J. sent out earlier this year. It does give a glimpse of some of what gets considered in these desisions.

FROM THE DESK OF EJ GOLD:

HOME STUDY BARDO TRAINING

Over the past few months since I started Personal Bardo
Training at the Bardo Training Center, several folks have asked
if they could somehow do the Basic Bardo Training at home
instead of coming in to the Bardo Training Center.

I have given the matter many hours of serious thought and
discussion. The Intermediate and Advanced Training are both
given online, and can, indeed, be done at home -- in fact, that
is the preferred method; you get online with me in a series of
Bardo Safaris.

I have sought a methodology for Home Training for the Basics,
and even though I have arrived at a solution, I must decline
the result. The simple reason for this is that the Basic
Training usually takes only two full intensive days to
complete, sometimes three.

The method involves actually seeing you operate the controls
and performing the tasks. There is no way to see what you're
doing on the other side of an internet connection.

Another factor is the space itself; the Bardo Training Center
is unique, and operating a Bardo Training Procedure in that
space is unlike anything you could experience at home.

Also, because it is a matter of only two or at most three days,
I feel that for something this important, you ought to be able
to find two days in your life to dedicate to your Bardo
Training.

The cost of Bardo Training is very little compared to other
things in life. If you want and need it, you will find a way to
arrange it so you can take it. It isn't a hobby. It's not an
amusement. It is preparation for YOUR Bardo. That ought to be
important enough to make the efforts necessary to find two days
out of your entire life to do this work, and to take the first
step on a ladder that leads up out of ordinary life and into
something a whole lot bigger.

I'm hoping to see YOU in the Bardo Training Center very soon; I
will do all I can to help you up through the Levels!

Yours in The Work,
