Hello Erica, I don't believe that this platform is accessible. Because of the fact that I've heard it been discussed on multiple different mailing list and they have talked as if it's not accessible.

She is more than willing to do whatever to make everything accessible. I noticed they use GoToMeeting. I'm not aware if this platform is accessible. Just wanted to put this offer out since I know that we have people of all faiths and spiritual practices here.

>> I am honored to facilitate Michael Stone's upcoming 6-week online meditation course. In the past weeks many people have inquired about what the best way to learn meditation is and if Michael's courses will continue to run. I have taken this course as a participant and have also facilitated this course with Michael in the past.  I continue to learn, grow and deepen my practice each time I watch these very videos. I hope you will consider joining me.  All the details are below. Please let me know if you have questions.

>> Course Overview
>> REGISTER
>> 
>> Meditation practice helps us on many levels – from simple relaxation to freedom within turbulent mental states to deep awakening.
>> 
>> A lot of people say that they’re interested in meditation, but don’t know how to work with different mental states that arise when they sit still. Haven’t you had the same thought? You try sitting and it works for a few days or even weeks and then it falls away.
>> 
>> Looking Within: An Online Meditation Course focuses on the “how to” technique level of meditation practice. It’s about how to sit, beginning with the physical postures through to undoing deeper emotional habits.
>> 
>> The Benefits
>> What is Looking Within?
>> Taught by Michael Stone, Looking Within: An Online Meditation Course is a six-week online course, in which you will learn postures for sitting meditation, how to defuse stress and experience greater calm, and tricks to stabilize emotions and reactivity.
