The first class is the evening of March 3rd.
The book talks about the nature of humans... about why we keep going to war, why we struggle so to forgive, why we often let our ego rule and how it leads us down some pretty sad paths.
The intention of it is to help us all live more consciously rather than simply reacting to the world based on the things above. It's not about religion, but it is spiritual in that it attempts to teach how to be more at peace and more accepting of others.
I've not read much yet, and it's going to take a while to read simply because it's a book you really do need to think about to understand. The classes don't start till the 3rd, but there is a workbook online and other small "assignments" that you need to do prior to the class. Registration and the classes are free.
