MP3 audio recordings of each class
In order to help you extend and better integrate your learning experience we send you an mp3 audio recording of each class. You can play these recordings on your computer and go back and listen to interesting topics or discussions that you would like to hear a second or third time.

Knowing each class is recorded means you can spend more time absorbing the classes and less time taking notes.

Beyond adding to your learning experience, these recordings represent a savings of at least $100.

What is Seishindo?
This telecourse is based upon Seishindo - a human potential discipline developed by Charlie Badenhop. Seishindo is designed to help you live in an emotionally balanced, life-affirming manner; to more consistently live with enthusiasm, compassion, and a sense of truly belonging in the world.

Seishindo is a Japanese term which can be said to mean "the cultivation of a pure heart and simple mind" or "the cultivation of the whole self." When you study Seishindo you are invited to enter into a fuller relationship with your body, to become more aware of your surroundings, and to experience the connection that you have to all of life.

The principles, practices, and techniques of Seishindo have been distilled from Charlie's years of study in various fields. Charlie is a fourth degree black belt and licensed instructor of Aikido in Japan, a certified trainer in NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis, and a long time student of the Japanese healing art of sei tai, Self-relations therapy, Gestalt therapy, and Yoga. He has been living, working, and studying in Japan for more than twenty years. Charlie’s classes are known for their magic, depth of experience, and celebration of life.

Study Seishindo and empower yourself to engage the world with greater enthusiasm, compassion, and creativity.

What is a teleclass?
A teleclass is a class that takes place over the phone. You don't need a computer, just your phone. You will call into a special number, which will land you in a "waiting room" where you enter in an access code, which allows you entry into our teleclass meeting room. Very simple to use.

Each teleclass will include:

• Check in (brief hellos and updates from each participant)
• Presentation of background theory - To help orient you to each class.
• Facilitation (I will facilitate "an embodied conversation" with two participants during each class.)
• Debrief and Feedback (When I help facilitate one person, most everyone in the group will gain some insights. Feedback is an opportunity for members of the group to share what they have learned from the facilitation.)
• Lead in - To prepare you for the next class.

Is there a money back guarantee?
Your satisfaction with our telecourse is of utmost importance to us. If for any reason you are not fully satisfied, we will quickly refund the unused portion of your tuition.

What does it cost to use our teleconferencing system?
There is no extra charge on our end. Depending on your phone plan, you may incur regular long distance charges.

All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, Isolation and silence, in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song— but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our consciousness in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny. Pablo Neruda

"Charlie, I came to you initially as a professional opera singer wanting to enhance my performances, but I have come away with this and so much more. Because of the freeing experience I have had as a human being I am now able to live each day with a fuller freedom of focus that allows my creative energies to touch and be touched by all that is happening around me. You have helped me to get off a path that was leading me towards physical and professional destruction, and guided me onto a new path, heading in a direction that allows me to perform and connect with not only my audiences, but also the people I encounter in my everyday life. For anyone in the arts, Charlie's work teaches you to move with the forces that are within and around you. He helps you to synthesize the difficulties you sometimes struggle with, into a fuel that helps to ignite your creative process. In short, he helps you to transform your life, and the way in which you approach your art." Lori Ernest, Professional opera singer, New Jersey
