Living From the Heart
You are invited to a 6-Week On-line Course called “Living From the Heart” led by Dr. Dicken Bettinger. This will be based on the Three Principles as taught by Sydney Banks.
Innocently we often spend most of our time thinking about ourselves and the the world around us. In other words we live in our heads. When we get out of balance by spending too much time in our heads we automatically end up living with stress, anxiety, dissatisfaction, impatience, and bother. This is because it is impossible to access our well-being, love, and wisdom while we are caught up in our own thinking. In this course you will be guided to becoming more and more familiar with the spiritual heart of life and what it is like to live from this heart.
Class 1—Experiencing the spiritual heart
Class 2—The heart as our drop-in center
Class 3—Entering the heart of every feeling
Class 4—Stress or tension as a friendly invitation to return to the heart
Class 5—The heart as our go-to in challenging times
Class 6—Relationships from the heart: sharing and caring
There will be six 1½ hour Zoom classes. There will be time for sharing and for questions. Recordings of each class will be sent to all participants following each class.
Dates/times: Tuesdays February 6, 13, 20, 27 and March 5, 12, 2024 from 10:00 am-11:30pm Pacific, 1:00 pm-2:30pm Eastern, 6:00pm-7:30pm UK, 7:00 pm-8:30 pm in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. For any other country please compare your time to Pacific.
Fee: $400.

A weekend public seminar with Dr. Dicken Bettinger and Andy Winter in Brattleboro, Vermont on August 26- 27, 2023
Please join Andy Winter and Dicken Bettinger in a weekend seminar that is open to anyone interested. During this weekend you will be guided to explore the depths of your own well-being.

- drop into this space within that is free of, yet embraces, our psychological suffering
- experience beautiful feelings that uplift, heal, and nourish
- learn what it means to live more fully in heart-felt presence
- realize what it means to access our own natural resilience
- discover what it means to be guided by a deeper wisdom
- find a deep peace and contentment that is free of the turbulence in our life around you
- discover full enjoyment of the beauty around us as our senses open

Public Zoom Course: "The Heart of the Principles in Relationships"
Join me in a newly created six-session Zoom course.
My wife Coizie and I just celebrated being married for 52 years. And we came across Sydney Banks and the Three Principles 35 years ago. Understanding the Principles has opened our hearts to greater and greater degrees of love and compassion in our relationships.
In this course I would like to share with you the lessons that I have learned that have made a profound difference in my relationships and that I know could make a big difference in your relationships as well.
The Principles are where the psychological and the spiritual meet. Deeper insight into the Principles leads to more love and healthier relationships. This course will cover:
1) The normalcy of low moods
2) How not to take personally another person’s low moods
3) Having important talks when we are at our best
4) Learning to see a person’s soul and heart, their innate well-being
5) Understanding emotional reactions and becoming resilient
6) Forgiveness
7) Less focus on our egos and more focus on kindness and what is best for everyone
Deep listening
9) The importance of being open to spiritual wisdom when looking for answers to problems or differences. Remaining open to new and fresh thinking
10) Intimacy and sex
11) Unconditional love, having an open heart

October 2019- April, 2020 Announcing a 7 month Advanced 3 Principles Program:
“Healing the World: Coming Home to the Heart of the Principles” with
Dr. Dicken Bettinger
Program Description:
Sydney Banks asserted that all true change is spiritual change. He said that the only way the world truly changes is when each of us goes “inside” and raises our level of consciousness, thereby helping to raise the overall level of consciousness in the world. In this program you will discover through your own experience and realizations how a shift in your level of consciousness brings more love and understanding into the world. Each and every one of us can help heal the world of its suffering, greed, and violence. You do not have to be someone special or do something extraordinary. You do not have to become a 3P teacher or coach. Your only qualification for being a spiritual change agent in the world is to be a human being willing to surrender into the heart of the Principles.

1 - Go beyond the limits of your personal thinking to a space inside where you are
free of the limitations, judgments, and distortions of your conceptual mind.
2 - Learn that when you touch this space you will discover that you are uplifted in feeling
and gain higher quality thinking.
3 – Gain a greater trust in allowing wisdom to effortlessly guide your life.
4 - Discover an unconditional love for everyone.
5 - Live with a contagious joy for life.
6 – Find out first hand what it means to bring more love and understanding into the world,
and why this helps to heal the world.
