Living the Four & Five Agreements

4-weeks (last 4) | Registration opens 8/28/2026 9:00 AM EDT

This course is based on the New York Times bestsellers by Don Miguel Ruiz. It is a practical guide towards personal freedom from your past that affects present-day life. The Five Agreements are: (1) be impeccable with your word; (2) don't take things personally; (3) don't make assumptions; (4) always do your best; and (5) be skeptical but learn to listen. How do we implement these agreements into our lives? Toltec knowledge arises from essential sacred esoteric traditions found around the world. It is not a religion. It honors all spiritual masters’ teachings. It is a way of life.

NOTE: This is an expansion of a class originally offered in Fall 2025.

  • Suggested Readings: The Four Agreements and The Fifth Agreement, each by Don Miguel Ruiz
