The Force: Beyond Star Wars

Category: Basic Jedi Studies
Summary: 

Over the course of this class you will work with instructors and students to explore how different religions across the world interact with supernatural forces to create a harmonious existence with nature and human society.  Each week will offer a new exploration to help you begin defining what "the Force" is to you, and your relationship with it.  Although this course is designed to teach Jedi, we invite all members of Force Academy to join us.

If you are enrolling in the Bachelor Program, the corresponding workbook is "The Force: Beyond the Fiction" by Alethea Thompson.  Please let us know in the first assignment if you are a Bachelor student.  Each Module in this course corresponds with the Modules set within the workbook for ease of finding where you are in the course.  This workbook is only required for anyone in the Bachelor's Program.

  • The Light: The Harsh Taskmaster

    By Kate Solusar
    Just to clarify, this is about the nature of light itself, not the aspect. I realize that some people fear the dark. I certainly did as a child and used a night light. My children now do the same. They too fear the dark. Then I realized that darkness can…

  • Calming Breath

    By Jason Garrett
    1st Breathing Exercise The first step in most Jedi's training is Breath Control. Learning how to breath properly is one of the most underrated, overlooked aspects of training.

  • Meditation Introduction

    By Light Council

We are never limited to the direction of our attention, and are free to roam about our inner-subconscious. Some examples of possible areas of concentration could be symbols, sounds, colors, breath, uplifting thoughts, spiritual…
