IAM-35 Meditation Refresher

Apr 12, 2025 1:30pm-4:00pm (ended)

Join this IAM-35 Refresher on Saturday April 12th from 1:30pm to 4:00pm at MA Center Chicago. IAM instructors Radha Katz and Anand Kane will lead the refresher session. There is no cost for this event, but we ask that you pre-register here: https://iam35refresherapril12.eventbrite.com/

The IAM-35 Refresher is for all those who have completed the 8-hour IAM-35 Course. Whether you have learned the technique recently or some time ago, you can deepen your practice or get it back on track with this refresher. The technique will be reviewed step-by-step, and you will also experience a group guided meditation. You may ask questions and clarify your understanding of IAM. The instructors will share approaches to help you deepen your commitment to consistently practicing the IAM-35.

This is a live refresher that will be broadcast over Zoom for remote participation. For those attending in-person, the location is:

MA Center Chicago
South Lodge Community Room
0N540 MA Center Drive
Elburn, IL 60119

What to wear, what to bring: MA Center Chicago is an ashram (spiritual sanctuary), so we kindly request that all attendees dress modestly to maintain the sacred atmosphere of the space. Wear modest comfortable clothing suitable for gentle yoga poses. You may wish to bring a yoga mat and/or blanket, meditation cushion, water bottle, and snacks. Chairs and course handouts will be provided. Also, if you wish, bring clothing for the outdoors—during breaks you are invited to stroll and soak in the spiritual atmosphere of the ashram grounds.

Please email us at maccmeditation@macenters.org if you have any questions. For more information about IAM Meditation, including upcoming IAM Courses, Refreshers, and Guided Meditation, visit us.amma.org/iam
