🌟 The way we see the world today started forming much earlier than we might think.

For the past two years, the 30/30/30 Plan has been helping prepare and publish the 101 Steps on the Path Meditation Series with Geshe Michael Roach, usually one new meditation each month.

This month, something extraordinary is happening. ✨

Instead of one new meditation, the 30/30/30 Plan is bringing you six: the Arya’s Diamond Way Meditation Series, Meditations 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30.

🧘 Together, these six meditations take us back through the experiences that helped form our world, from our earliest memories and childhood influences to the beliefs we absorbed about where the world comes from.

And through that investigation, Geshe Michael connects our own lives with one of the deepest ideas in Buddhist wisdom: the direct perception of emptiness.

Even better, five of the six meditations are available immediately and freely to everyone, so you can begin exploring the series today.

Members of the 30/30/30 Plan receive early access to meditation releases and the full pre-release library of 101 Steps on the Path video meditations.
Join for $1 a day and help preserve timeless wisdom for generations to come.

✨ What if the answer you’re looking for is already there—you just can’t find it?

You remember a teaching. You know it exists somewhere. But after hours of searching through texts, transcripts, videos, and recordings, you still can’t reach the source you need.

There’s a better way.

Continuing Education Module 2
Our Digital Lineage: AI, Databases & Ancient Sources

Learn how our lineage databases are actually structured, how to make decades of teachings searchable, and how to use AI with those materials—so you can find what you need faster and trace it back to the original source.

And you won’t just hear about it. You’ll practice with authentic lineage materials.

Modern speed, original accuracy, nothing else invented in between.
We start September 24.

📅 September 24–26, 2026
⏰ 6:30–9:45 AM Arizona time

✨ What if the very things holding us back could become the fuel that moves us forward?

Our motivation can be one of our greatest strengths—but fear, doubt, resistance, frustration, and discouragement can quietly work against it, whether we’re moving toward an everyday goal or a deeper spiritual transformation.
But what if these challenges could also help us move forward?

Join us for the next Harmony for Health session with Timothy Lowenhaupt, Executive Director of V Houses and senior certified ACI teacher, and Añjali Nicole Vigna.

Together, we’ll explore what strengthens our motivation, what quietly undermines it, what our difficult thoughts and emotions may be teaching us, and how we can transform obstacles into opportunities for greater harmony, vitality, and growth.

Events From Our Friends
How to Predict Your Future?
An open online class with Inna and Bill McMichael

📅 Friday, September 18, 2026
🕙 10–11 AM Arizona time

There are patterns behind the events of our lives.
We rarely notice them as they unfold—usually, we only see the result: “It just happened,” “I got lucky,” “I didn’t get lucky.”
But once you begin to see these patterns, you stop simply reacting to circumstances and begin shaping what comes next.
In this meeting, we’ll explore:
→ What signs may point to future changes—and how to recognize them before they become events.
→ How thinking influences what happens to us—the mechanics of cause and effect, in plain language.
→ Practical tools you can apply right now.

Who is leading the meeting:
👩‍🔬 Inna McMichael — PhD in Medical Sciences. For 25 years, she has studied how thinking determines what happens in life. Teacher of the system of cause-and-effect relationships, coordinator of an international academic project, organizer of conferences, publisher of books on worldview.
Her main conclusion: in a person’s life, things are not as they appear. She teaches how to achieve goals ethically—without stress or burnout.
✈️ Bill McMichael — investor with a degree in Economics from the University of Virginia, former instructor pilot in the U.S. Air Force. For 25+ years, he has studied how thinking influences what happens to a person. He has practiced meditation for over 25 years, including 3 years in silent retreat.
He teaches meditation to entrepreneurs and executives as a tool that can influence results.

You’re invited to a calm, deep conversation about how to stop drifting with the current—without turning it into a struggle.

✨ A Weekend with Timothy Lowenhaupt
Executive Director, V Houses

🗓️ September 11 & 12 | 6:00–8:00 PM Arizona time
First Anniversary Weekend of Casa Tartuk

We all have blindspots; patterns we repeat without realizing we are repeating them. Habits we’ve carried for so long that they simply feel like part of who we are. Ways of reacting to people, to pressure, to opportunity—and to ourselves—that quietly shape the direction of our lives.

Some of these help us. Others invisibly hold us back from our capacity to shine, to lead, and to rise into our highest potential.

The difficult part is that we often cannot see the difference.

The Eye of Courage: Blindspots & Leadership is a special two-night talk exploring ancient ideas & principles that can help us see what we normally cannot see about ourselves—and understand where these patterns came from in the first place.

We’ll look at our earliest memories and experiences, not to get stuck in the past or blame the people who came before us, but to better understand the causes and conditions that shaped who we are today.

What influenced us most?
What did we learn very early about who we needed to be?
What are we still carrying that was useful once, but may no longer be useful now?
And what becomes possible when we can finally see it?

We’ll approach these questions with courage and compassion, learning how to take what has shaped us, keep the wisdom and strength it gave us, and stop allowing the rest to quietly determine our future.

Because sometimes the thing standing between us and our next chapter isn’t another skill we need to acquire; it’s something we haven’t been able to see.
And seeing it takes courage.

These two evenings are part of the first anniversary weekend of Casa Tartuk. On Sunday, we’ll come together to celebrate an extraordinary first year—its people, its successes, and everything that has begun to grow here—and then turn our attention toward what the future might hold.

The final part of Kompletion Karma is here. ✨

If you ever started the Classic ACI courses and always meant to come back and finish, this is your moment.

Kompletion Karma—Classic ACI 18: The Great Ideas of Buddhism, Part III with Timothy Lowenhaupt is the third and last part of the review of Classic ACI 11–15: A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life (Parts Two and Three); The Art of Reasoning; Lojong, Developing the Good Heart; and What the Buddha Really Meant. The final step toward completing all 18 Classic Courses.

Finishing the courses was never caused by trying harder on your own.

In the final months of this 15-month program, the coursework moves into a language-based study group after each master class—a monthly rhythm that keeps you in step, and a place to bring each assignment instead of letting it quietly slide. And here's the part that makes it Kompletion Karma: helping others finish their homework becomes the very cause that carries you to finishing your own homework.

🗓️ September 20, 2026 – January 24, 2027 · monthly, on Sundays
Live 5:30–9:00am Arizona time · rebroadcast 4:00pm Arizona time
