8th Series:
I Ching Workshops Online Sept. 24, thru Oct. 29, 2017

We are back and we are moving forward with our 8th series of I Ching (Yi Jing) Workshops Online. We took a little break to gain more momentum and now we are ready to dive into learning more and more about the I Ching (Yi Jing).

Anyone who is interested in learning more about the I Ching (Yi Jing) and its application in your daily lives is welcomed to attend. I call the Yi a Pocket counselor because its main goal is to provide guidance for our everyday affairs, from simple situations to major ones.

The Yi Jing is one of the most incorruptible oracle systems that you can use.

It has been around for over 5 thousand years and harkens back to ancient China.

The concepts of Yin/Yang, the Tao, Tai Chi, Kung fu martial arts, etc incorporates its principles.

In our workshops we work with the Classical version of the Yi Jing, while we do not speak Mandarin or any ancient Chinese languages, we have found that the Yi Jing continues to guide us. This is partly due to our desire to receive the guidance of the Yi Jing and the Yi Is quite receptive to helping us.

A few decades ago, the guidance from the Yi Jing was only available to a few. Finding a book that made any sense was nearly impossible. Anyone who has reviewed the Wilhelm/Baynes version or Leggie version of the Yi Jing can attest that you basically had to put that book under your pillow at night and absorb the guidance through osmosis.

Today, there is a plethora of books and in many languages so the guidance is now available to many more.

I have worked with individuals from all over the globe who have been using the Yi Jing. So I can attest that it is certainly becoming more and more popular and available.

There are many variations on the theme as it relates to what each of these many books have to offer in their interpretation of what the Yi Jing hexagrams are telling us.

I, personally have several books, but in my workshops, I will be focusing the most on these two. The I Ching Book of Changes by Wilhelm/Baynes and the I Ching Workbook by RL Wing.

You may have other books that you reference, and that's fine. However, in my workshops we will be studying from these two, so it would be good to get your copies before you come to the workshops. BTW, the workshops will be online, so even if you don't have the books to begin with, we will be able to share our books with you.

The workshop series lasts for 6 weeks and we will meet once a week on Sundays.

Since I am in contact with folks from around the globe, we will make adjustments for time zones.

I will host 3 workshops…

Beginners 101 12PM EST

Beginners 102 3PM EST

Intermediate 6PM EST

If you are not sure which one you should attend, come to the Beginners 101 for starters, we will look at your skill level and make a determination from there. Also, if you have not been using the Yi Jing regularly for at least 5 years, you probably should come to the Beginners 102. The intermediate is very challenging. I do not give tests, but I do expect you to be quite proficient with the Yi Jing, how to use it, what the hexagrams are, what they mean and a keen idea on how to adapt them to the questions you ask if you come to the Intermediate classes.

One of the key points that you will learn in my workshops is how to ask the question. It is so important to ask questions in such a way that you can understand the answer you get from the Yi Jing. Many times folks ask questions and end up scratching their heads wondering what did the Oracle just say to them. In reality, it takes a certain skill to get those questions formulated in such a way that will lessen the confusion. You will learn that in my workshops.

I ask for a love offering of $75 for the entire series of workshops paid in advance.

You may also pay $15/workshop if you so desire. Whatever works best for you.

You can use this PayPal link, www.paypal.me/nanabaakan if you have paypal.

If you do not have PayPal, then I can send you an invoice, but I will need to send the invoice for the entire fee of $75. PayPal takes a percentage of my income, so it would be more financially feasible to invoice just once. You can also use the buttons below to register. Here you have a variety of options for payment as well.

I also have Square Cash for anyone who would like to use that option, but the same procedure will apply because, like PayPal, they take a percentage.

In the blog, the links will be there, so you will be able to pay directly from the blog post.

Registration is now open. Anyone can attend.

Workshop registrants need to add up to at least 5 people per workshop.

If fewer than five people sign up per workshop, the workshop will be postpone to the next series, and all payments will be refunded.

There is the option for private lessons in the event a workshop is closed. We can discuss the arrangements for that privately.

I ask that everyone who signs up commits to at least 3 classes. While the Yi Jing is a wonderful oracle system, it has its complexities and therefore commitment to learning is very important. It is preferable that you attend all 6 classes in order to get the full scope of the material presented.

Please consider these workshops in the same manner you would consider going to college or a university. If you pay for a class but you do not attend, I will not be able to make any refunds. Time and energy goes into preparing for the classes so you must be responsible for attending the classes you paid for.

After the 2nd week the Beginners 102 and Intermediate classes will close. Beginners 101 will remain open so anyone wanting to join will be added to the Beginners 101.

I do not give quizzes, however I am inclined to acknowledge your participation by giving you a certificate of completion but you must attend all classes in the series in order to receive it. The certificate will give a general description of your mastery of the material presented in the workshop.

Everyone who attends the workshops will be given a link to Google Drive where I keep all materials and videos from the workshop series. Feel free to go there and explore the materials between our meetings. You may also download anything that you wish.
