Ongoing
Finders Course ~ 4 Month Online Course
Why Seek When You Can Find?
Get the remarkable wellbeing and other profound psychological benefits that have been historically associated with states such as enlightenment, persistent mystical states, and nonduality, but without taking years or having to follow religious or spiritual dogma.
What is the Finders Course?
The Finders Course is the first universally effective, step-by-step course that helps people transition to Ongoing and Persistent Non-Symbolic Experience rapidly, safely and reliably.
The course is 100% secular, and built on data from the world’s largest scientific research project in this area, which included over 1,200 participants on 6 continents. Our research showed that using the Finders Course, over 70% of people reached Persistent Non-Symbolic Experience in 4 months or less. And another 19% of people who took the program had temporary experiences of it.
Through the Finders Course, we provide the most effective methods and practices for creating permanent positive shifts in peace of mind, mental balance, life satisfaction and happiness. From ancient practices to cutting-edge science, our programs help you to assemble a personalized program to reach your goals. In our course you’ll find a community of like-minded adventurers on the same journey.
The Course Format
- Weekly video modules introducing a variety of proven practices, including:
- Daily meditation (using 26 different methods)
- Intention
- Gratitude
- Mindfulness
- One-on-one practice/exploration sessions
- Online weekly support group meetings
- Mentoring
- Facebook group
- Book (The Finders by Dr. Jeffrey A. Martin)
Please note that the course does require a significant degree of commitment, which has been found to be crucial to its effectiveness. One must be prepared to commit a minimum of one hour a day, plus an hour or two a week for group meetings, over a four month period.

Isaac Shapiro ~ Meetings in Truth
Join us for this special series of evening meetings and daylong gatherings with Isaac Shapiro in Berkeley.
Date & Time info is detailed below.
Isaac helps us inquire into how we live our lives moment by moment, and how to better align ourselves with the deepest spiritual truths. He works through pointed but good-humored questioning, reflecting back to us, and helping to unravel, the conditioning of the mind and the nervous system, allowing a deeper participation in the moment.
Isaac is an internationally known facilitator and non-dual teacher, fascinated with life lived in alignment with the world’s wisdom traditions. He enjoys exploring and assisting those who share this interest. A student of H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji), Isaac draws on a broad spectrum of understanding, from neurophysiology to some of the latest discoveries in quantum physics, which he applies in a light-hearted but direct way.
Through years of working with people, Isaac has cultivated and refined an ability to track what is happening in the nervous system of participants. Bringing this awareness to people’s attention, allows our natural, innate self-regulating mechanism to be re-established.
“My approach is to invite you to look for yourself at what is true in your own being. This points to what you already know, but which is obscured in the ways of the nervous system. The beauty of this invitation is that nothing needs to be changed, fixed or eliminated. It is a non-dualistic, non-judgmental enquiry into our present being.
“Everything happens through the agency of awareness. As we bring awareness to our unconscious habits, there is a shift that occurs. In the course of the investigation, people spontaneously recognize the true nature of themselves, which many report as the experience of peace, unconditional love, compassion, or simply of being home.”
