The 45th Annual Intensive, in person,
April 10-13, 2025

Mercy Center

Mercy Center Tour

 

It will take place at the beautiful Mercy Center in Burlingame, CA. and will be led by Jason Nathaniel. Everyone is welcome!

The Enlightenment Intensive combines contemplation with communication in a powerful process aimed at direct conscious knowledge of truth. Jason has been actively involved in attending, staffing, and mastering Enlightenment Intensives and Love Intensives over the last two decades. He leads with a freshness and authenticity that have earned him a devoted following. Please see his short bio, below.

For more information about Enlightenment Intensives, please visit: http://highsierra.org/ei.html, or https://sandoth.com.

Mercy Center is located four miles from San Francisco International Airport. It features single rooms for all participants, delicious vegetarian meals, tasty snacks, and gorgeous grounds.

Since our last in-person Annual Intensive in 2018, expenses have gone up considerably. To keep this Intensive as affordable as possible, we’re pricing it at $750, which covers the cost of meals and lodging only. Jason and his staff will be compensated by donation.

You can reserve a place and donate to staff at https://www.paypal.me/originintensives; or mail a check to Origin, c/o Osha Reader, 9 Partridge Court, San Rafael CA 94901. The deadline for registration is April 1.

For questions or more information, please email jason.nathaniel@gmail.com or origin@highsierra.org.

We're hoping to have you with us!

Love,

Osha, Jason, and your Annual Intensive staff


Who is Jason?

"What, me worry?" I read a lot of Mad magazines when I was a kid. A lot has changed since then. Life unfolds as it does. The current situation finds me here leading the 45th Annual Intensive. A lot of contemplation and communication dyads have passed through this being called Jason. First with Peter Ralston back in the early 90s. Then I met Osha Reader in 2005 and have done every single Intensive I could possibly do since then. Took the master's training with Edrid and Osha and began monitoring and leading Intensives soon after that. Hard to believe but now it's twenty years later! Good thing there is no absolute time. 😀 In any case, I'd like to welcome you to the wonderful world of inquiry. May the truth be revealed as it is!

Jason
