Margrit is currently facilitating a Path of Initiation course.

This is the first of a series of courses using the works of Lucille Cedercrans.

It opens the door to conscious living.

In a very simple way, it not only opens our eyes to the way we live, and what we do, and the consequences that flow from it all, but it also points us in the direction of change by providing excellent tools we can apply in our daily lives. The result is positive changes in our lives through conscious living, total awareness of our thoughts, emotions and actions. This course sets the groundwork for Soul consciousness and an all-round easier and happier life experience.
