Germany Q&A - “Is everyone as fake as me?”

Germany Seminar
On September 26th, 2009 Curtis Sensei recorded this Q & A in Bubenreuth, Germany. What transpired was a very open and honest lecture and discussion on training and the world we live in. Sensei always loves teaching in Europe and this is your opportunity to listen in while he discusses an email he received from a student on Maui.

Please note that Curtis Sensei is confidential with all correspondence written and verbal, however, he did receive permission for use of this email in his teaching.

Dear Friends, Students and Teachers,

We hope you are enjoying the Letting Go Classes if you have yet to order your book please download here “Letting Go”. for your order form.

This is one of my favorite chapters of the entire book. Maybe because this ki lecture, which occurred on the island of Kauai, really was clear and to the point.

You may still leave a question or comment on any of the previous podcasts/transcripts or a question for the upcoming discussion on Ch. 9 held on October 30th in the comment section.
