What is the “New Eightfold Path” and how does walking that Path bring joy to your daily life? As the Tao describes both how we walk our Path and the Path on which we walk, let us walk joyfully with Jesus using the eightfold heart-virtues of Gautama Buddha, the Venusian love-virtues of the Holy Kumaras.
In this course, based on the teachings of two enlightening HeartStreams, you learn what happens when you chant Om Mani Padme Hum, and how you can walk upon water, air and fire. We examine Gautama Buddha’s concept of a new eightfold path with his teaching on the four nobler truths. The master called us to master the eight heart-virtues of the eight petals of the crystal chamber of our hearts.
Please join our 90-minute interactive course for a fun discussion about how we can continue to make these virtues a reality in our own lives, starting with how we treat ourselves, our family and our friends. Students share their thoughts, wisdom and experience.

The subject matter was great. I really appreciated every word of the class and I am very grateful for Cathleen covering this material. Thank you! -DS
Cathleen presented a well-organized class which was helpful and instructive as to the Eightfold Path. Her relaxed and welcoming attitude was an asset as well as periodic pauses to include participants. I am grateful to have heard Gautama’s teaching on the Aum from a Heartstream in 2013 which I have never heard because I was not yet a part of the Hearts Center.-GG
I learned ...The importance of working on using the 8 virtues every day. -AH

See these virtues as lotuses of light going out across the planet, illuminating people and helping them to be more loving.
Live in the Effervescent Joy of the Holy Spirit is a discourse through David Christopher Lewis from beloved Leila Macey who challenges us to live in a state of effervescent joy. This is the joy of the Holy Spirit's grace which comes because love is at the center of our life. Joy can only be in us if God's quintessences are activated and flowing in our aura and awareness.
