Previous participants say:

"Dr Lisa Langer's content was excellent. It was just what I needed, a detailed practical explanation of how to use the I Ching, which is complex. I had tried to understand it before and failed, so this was just right."

"Very enjoyable course and group. The tutor, Dr Lisa Langer, was welcoming and very knowledgable."

"I enjoyed the I Ching course with Dr Lisa Langer. She was really personable and put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into it. We spent quite a lot of time focusing on intuition and I felt in retrospect that it was worth it because I began to see how the I Ching is a tool that relies on the intuitive faculty."
