In Their Own Words...
“OSLA’s Spiritual Depth Course provided a safe nurturing
space in which I was able to heighten my awareness and experience
a profound shift in my relationship to both my ego and true Self.
I came away with knowledge and tools that enable me to deepen my spiritual
practice and expand my commitment to serving and healing the world.”
-- A.H.
“In no way did I anticipate or imagine to find the abundance
of tools, the safe, loving and dedicated teachers, and the supportive
community of seekers, that would so profoundly help me to create a
shift in my awareness and being.” -- C.
“This course has made a difference in my life. It has taught
me what spirituality is and indeed has helped me deepen my spirituality.
The teaching was at a very high level and there was always ample opportunity
for questions. The interactive exercises with fellow classmates were
so illuminating and helpful for self-knowledge and growth. A wonderful
sense of community was created among a tremendously evolved group
of people. The instructors were all so informative and willing to
share their insight and everything was taught with such compassion,
understanding and acceptance. I have been given good direction for
furthering my spiritual development and I have been helped to realize
that I already am a spiritual person, a discovery that is vital for
me to know. I have much gratitude and my heart is open.”
--D.F.
“I so appreciated the experiential approach, the exercises,
the excellent presentation, the nurturing learning environment, the
one-on-one interaction with partners and deans. It was an excellent
experience.” -- E.S.
“This course was exactly what I needed at this time. The
environment was conducive to transformation. It provided the time
and space to sort though personal challenges and inner experiences.
This brought me to a new state of clarity and peace.” --2006-2007

“One Spirit’s Spiritual Depth Class has allowed me
to have one weekend a month as a nurturing spiritual learning retreat
for myself and gave me inspiration to have a similar time set aside
one weekend a month for deep spiritual reflection as well as yearly
retreats away, to be one with nature and solitude outside of NYC.”
-- 2006-2007 student
(You and) your team have created a remarkable class inviting
inquiry and depth throughout our time together. Right from the get
go there was an energetic sense of safety that permeated the room:
your presence, your words reinforced this but it was more than words
and presence—it was the energy in the room created by the four
of you, by the support of the OSIS staff that turned up and by the
students in the room." -- D
