Classes

The life-healing principles and teachings of Vernon Howard.

They are held at our headquarters in Strawberry, Arizona three times a week (see above), as well as at our official branch in Westminster, California three times a week (see above) and at our official branch in Pagosa Springs, Colorado twice a week (see above).
What time do the classes officially start?
All classes start at the top or bottom of the hour. Pre-class activities begin about 20 minutes before the listed starting time. If at all possible, we ask that you try to be on time. It’s all right to come in late if necessary.
What is the format of the classes?
There are two halves to every class. In the first half there are one, two or three speakers. After 45 minutes there is a 15-minute break so that you can partake of refreshments, shop in the bookstore, etc. Next is the second half with more insights from the moderator, class participation, questions and answers and more.
How long do the classes last?
The entire class is an hour and a half long with a 15-minute break.
How much are the classes?
A $3 donation is requested at each class.

The dress is casual and clean.
Are the books, booklets, MP3 CDs and DVDs for sale at the class?
All of Vernon Howard materials are available at every class.
Who conducts the classes?
Speakers who have been longtime students of Vernon Howard principles.
Do I have to join anything?
There is nothing to join. You are encouraged to come to more classes because the truth is not something you can understand by attending one or two classes. Vernon Howard said on many occasions that this is the most marvelous message ever given to mankind.
