IAM Heart

Specialties

The Institute for Applied Meditation (IAM) has developed Heart Rhythm Meditation as a contribution to the emerging culture of the heart. We have always insisted that meditation, the most powerful of all techniques, be applied in very practical ways, advancing our health, relationships and accomplishments in life.

IAMheart provides professional training in the method and application of Heart Rhythm Meditation, through mentoring, webcourses, group retreats, private retreats, local classes, and especially the two-​year, part-​time, comprehensive curriculum of The University of the Heart, which includes all of the above.

The two-​year program of IAM-​U is a package of IAM programs offered as an in-​depth training in the mysticism of the heart. The IAM-​U program comprises:

Eight 8-​week experiential webcourses in dialogue with a certified teacher, covering all the 100-​level courses of the IAM curriculum

Two 12-​day in-​residence workshops in Tucson

24 sessions of mentoring with a certified mentor

Two group retreats of 5 days each, led by Puran and Susanna Bair

One 7-​day private retreat conducted and customized by a certified retreat guide
