I work as a Math teacher at Ithaca College.
In the Fall of 2010 I will be coordinating weekly inquiry sessions based on the book "Not Guilty" by Yaani Drucker.   The purpose of the course is to awaken us to our True Self.  The course is based on the book that is freely available on the web but you can also buy it from Amazon.  See:  http://www.notguiltybyyaani.com/book.html.  After I find out who is interested I will reserve a room at Ithaca College and coordinate a time.
