Due to popular demand, IAC will be running its world renowned Consciousness Development Program (CDP) in Philadelphia for the first time ever.

In this training program you can:
• Have a lucid out-of-body experience
• Practice 25 OBE techniques in real time
• Become skilled with subtle energy
• Navigate non-physical dimensions
• Find out what you were doing before you were born
• Integrate psychic awareness into your daily life
• Meet non-physical people

Program Overview
The CDP is IAC's core curricular program centered on evolution, psychic awareness and the out-of-body experience as a tool for personal transformation. It offers the most comprehensive, transformative body of information that you are likely to find anywhere about life's most fundamental questions.  It examines who we are, what happens when we die, and why we are here, in addition to other themes of existential significance. Students are shown how to incorporate the CDP's ideas and techniques into their daily lives, allowing them to increase their life fulfillment by living coherently with a broader, more accurate understanding of reality. The CDP integrates a wide range of themes, giving students a cohesive, verifiable framework for understanding themselves, their energetic nature, their relationships, psychic phenomena, paranormal occurrences, and even their purpose in life. See below for a detailed list of topics covered.

Practical classes
Consistent with the importance the IAC places on verification through experience, the CDP has not just theoretical information, but practical classes too.  Special emphasis is given to the out-of-body experience (OBE) as a tool for personal growth, as it facilitates first-hand experience of the invisible non-physical world surrounding us. This in turn gives us a broader perspective for understanding not just paranormal phenomena, but ultimately the entire process of personal or conscious evolution. Great emphasis is also placed on developing mastery with energy. Having energetic ability increases our perceptiveness, it helps develop our psychic abilities, and it allows us to have greater emotional balance, physical health, and mental clarity. 

The CDP includes:
• 5 sessions in which students aim to induce lucid out-of-body experiences (OBEs)
• 15 sessions in which students use a variety of techniques to mobilize and control their energies

Schedule
The Philadelphia CDP will be the standard 40-hour program taken in three 13-hour weekends. See the above right or below for dates and times.

Basis and approach
The CDP is based on research and scientific theories developed over 40 years.  IAC's foundational model recognizes the existence of psychic abilities, energy, and non-physical components within our reality. The participatory approach inevitably catalyzes personal growth, which is one of the ultimate aims of the CDP.

Instructors
IAC's instructors are all highly trained and experienced, having taken all of IAC's core courses, read key texts, gone through a rigorous two-year training program, and passed an exam.
