The Seven Course Sessions

Light contains all of the wisdom and intelligence in existence. To go beyond our limited perception of ourselves, it’s essential to care for our light bodies and store a great deal of energy. In this session, you´ll receive comprehensive, practical tools for how to protect, build and store your light and energy.

Building Your Light

If we want to awaken and move into oneness, we have to stretch the thresholds of our personal identity and allow our awareness to expand. In this session, Leslie guides us to recognize and overcome the fear that might stop us. This session will deepen your trust in the process of expansion and show you how to surf the waves of change into a new and more unified reality.

Awareness Expansion

Love in our world is dualistic and polarized, and the average person loves in a very limited way. But at some level of our beingness, we’re capable of knowing the infinite Heart. In this session you´ll receive practical guidance for overcoming your patterns of separation and realizing that You Are Love.

Waking the Heart

Before entering enlightenment, an intermediate stage of the spiritual journey is moving out of worldly limitations into a New Paradigm of the Heart. Here you discover you are not separate, you are connected to the transcendent nature of your being, and you can directly access divine guidance to run your life. Leslie offers a roadmap to help you navigate this passage more easily.

The New Paradigm

When you begin to see the world from the point of view of energy, you’re beginning to perceive a more integral, connected and flowing reality—much more alive. The Mystic sees through the illusion of the material world and into a deeper perception of reality. In this session Leslie guides you to discover your larger Self, beyond conditioned ways of seeing.

Discernment, Seeing and Mysticism

That which we seek has always been inside of us. An essential part of the journey is shifting our attention or intention from things like worldly success and focusing more on our relationship with the Divine. In this session, Leslie guides you to find your spiritual alignment, understanding that when you find the Source inside, you can access it outside as well.

Spiritual Alignment

Meditation opens doorways that lead to the riches of higher consciousness. The intention is that ultimately you become so connected with the Source within you that you channel it through your awareness, through your body, in everything you do, all the time. This state, known as samadhi, is a precursor to Enlightenment. In this session Leslie guides you to connect more deeply with the Source within.

Read below what our worldwide community of CoreLight students want you to know.

The CoreLight teachings have enriched my life on every level, and I am infinitely grateful for the blessings that flow in and through my world as a result. The spiritual training CoreLight offers points the way to a deep, abundant, grounded and eternal sense of connectedness to all things that abide within each of us. CoreLight taught me to find that place. And, perhaps most importantly, once I could find that place within myself, the whole world opened up in magical ways I could not have imagined.

—Cynthia, web developer and mother of three

More than any spiritual path I know of, this work is about self-empowerment. Combining a unique set of ego processing tools with profound mystical truths, Leslie’s teachings invite us to harness the inner fire of awakening in a path she calls “going God-direct.” Above all, this is heart work—a journey of love, to love and for love! It will inspire you . . . and take you into the truth of your being. Your life will become increasingly beautiful, radiant, and blessed!

—Gary, CoreLight Minister

Leslie and Brad offer profound insights into love, compassion, integrity and what it means to live as an empowered human being in this changing, beautiful and messy world.

—Jeanne

My gratitude for CoreLight and for the way the teachings have helped to open my heart is truly beyond words. . . . Not to say I don’t have my moments, but I have the tools in the form of the polarity lists and squares and open communication with others who know this path. I’ve brought these tools to the indigenous peoples of the North, and their opening to it has been a gift. I feel more able to participate in this world, to be light, to have hope and to focus on the most precious thing for me, which is Love.

—Martha, Educator

To me, the CoreLight teachings are worth more than all the money in the world! I consider them to be the most precious jewels, which free us of our suffering both personally and globally. They are the most sophisticated teachings I have found anywhere. They have helped me understand myself and others in an insightful way and are the foundation of my choices throughout the day. I feel I have received extraordinary, true wisdom, which is so rare in our world. 

—Cedona, CoreLight graduate

Studying with CoreLight has infused my experience with a depth and meaning that has transformed my understanding of who I am and what my purpose is . . . [It] has helped me to choose love, find true fulfillment and free myself from the pain and limitation of past wounding and beliefs . . . My daily experience has become an exciting and magical journey. It promises a lifetime of possibility and a level of peace I could never have imagined.

—Eric, CoreLight Minister

My spiritual growth took giant steps towards wholeness, healing and integration . . . This work is revolutionary and life-changing, and I recommend it to any soul that wants to live in Union and Oneness.

—Sue

It would take a whole book to explain how grateful I am that somehow this amazing teacher and work found me, how my life has been blessed and healed because of The Marriage of Spirit work and Leslie’s teachings, and how over all this time my respect and trust in Leslie’s authenticity and congruence has only deepened . . . I would not trade this path that I have taken for any amount of treasure or experience in this world. It has been that valuable to me. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
