 Top Housemothers' CourseThis course is designed for a team of up to 4 people to take together. You will be introduced to all the ways we have found to pleasurably and successfully live communally. We will describe our Morehouse model, including our decision-making system of one no-vote and purchasing and owning property together. Drawing on our more than 40 years of group living, we will answer your questions about the various ways, successful and not-so successful, that we have approached handling day to day life situations: from who is going to take out the garbage to pleasurably accomplishing communal goals to how best to gratify all the participants. The course includes 12 sessions, each devoted to a particular aspect of life in a group setting. Six months of meetings with faculty advisors are included for students who complete the course and wish to be housemothers of a Morehouse or other group living situation.
Top Advanced CoursesMan/WomanThis course describes all human relationships, regardless of gender. It examines male and female as socially created identities based upon biological characteristics and how the genders relate. Our society is heavily slanted toward male/female partnerships, but the course demonstrates how the elements of relationship work in all forms of coupling. The course discusses the myths and realities underlying gender and describes the principles of creating mutually rewarding relationships, enabling you to bring more fun into your life. The course also reveals the true status of the female, long obscured by sexual prejudice, and clarifies persistent mysteries regarding gender difference.
Top CrossroadsThere are times in a person's life when they are at a crossroads and could benefit from a supportive environment in which to decide their next move, going from good to better. The Crossroads course offers an opportunity to think through your options, sort things out and have some fun in the process.
A letter from a Crossroads graduate Top AphrodisiaAre you looking for more turn-on? Does it take oysters or rhino horn, maybe exercise or is there a safe, reliable, inexpensive answer? The Aphrodisia course examines the subject of pleasurable arousal and describes how anyone, starting from even the most remote sense of interest, can be transported to supreme pleasure and gratification. No adverse side effects. Thoroughly tested.
Top Love for Sale, Half-PriceLove has the highest emotional value in our culture, yet to most of us it is surrounded by mystery. Although we revere and desire it, most people feel out of control of it. Many hope their lives will be blessed with love. At the same time, they fear that it may be elusive or too expensive to obtain, and too difficult to keep up. Many of us don't know how to have love be ever-expanding, without which it is likely to end in disappointment. Love For Sale, Half-Price offers ways we have seen to bring the love you imagine into your life, at much less cost than you might have guessed, and to have it thrive and grow.
Top OestrologyThis course describes a frame of reference that explains human experience. It illuminates the dynamics between male and female players and their far-reaching implications, addressing marriage/monogamy, law, insatiability, inferiority, defensive behavior, surrender and the fundamental triad.
Top Seeing MagicVic Baranco presented the course "Seeing Magic" only once and only to a group of insiders in 1975. Seeing Magic is a distillation of what Vic's investigation of magic and its practical applications revealed. One of his conclusions was, "Everyone who succeeds uses magic." Various forms of magic have been practiced throughout the history of Morehouse and are to this day. The first step to using the power of magic to achieve your goals is to recognize it. "Seeing" is a term that Vic used to describe the art of transcending personal prejudice to achieve a clarity of perception unavailable from the first person perspective.
Top Glimpse of Seeing"Seeing is admitting what you know. Love is the light by which you see. The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of action." In order to develop the Art of Seeing the course will employ the critical analysis of literary and dramatic forms including movies, television, media methods and techniques, advertising, poetry and the students own lives. Through the medium of creative writing and participation in the course project students will attain and demonstrate understanding and use of this art. The course includes the investigation of human emotional response in literary forms and the functions and effects of culture and conditioning. Seeing skills are honed through discipline, successful collaboration and guts. The ability to see is the portal to creativity, intimacy and confidence.  The course sessions are held one evening a week for 15 consecutive weeks. The length of time for each session is determined by how long it takes. Expect a minimum of three hours. Students may anticipate spending up to 24 hours/week on assignments outside the class.
Top Courses with Cindy BarancoDarshanCome meet Cindy Baranco, Vic's wife and partner of 27 years. Cindy is furthering the development of the More philosophy that Vic originated, while giving it a feminine voice. She brings a fresh perspective and offers real life practical application of the concept of perfection to everyday experience. Feeling her genuine approval of herself, of you, and of the universe gives you the opportunity to claim it for yourself. The format is Q & A. You are welcome to ask her questions about any aspect of your life. She and her friends will draw upon their personal experiences and viewpoints, based on over 40 years of communal living and research into lifestyles and relationships, to describe how you can have more fun and pleasure in everything you do.
Top Gift of Time: Looking with New Eyes"Always remember to do everything you want to do. When death comes, you'll be relieved because you'll be so tired." — Things I've Heard Vic Say, Volume V It is a commonly held belief in our society that after a brief period of youth each of us is destined to a declining quality of life. The Gift of Time was originally written and presented by Dr. Victor Baranco in 1990 to consider life as an ever-expanding experience of good. Vic believed that this choice was available to anyone willing to hold alternative points of view. Cindy Baranco has continued with the same keen observance of life so characteristic of Vic and has created an additional body of information on this subject. Cindy is particularly interested in the tendency of adults to act more and more genderless as they age and will present her ideas on having more of the sparkle of life by continuing to enjoy the fun of gender and maintaining sex as a possibility. She will describe how all the flavors of relationship and experiences you've dreamed of are available to you if you will look with new eyes at the people already in your life. This is a unique opportunity to hear Vic teach, along with Cindy's perspectives - both from years of living with him and from her personal and ongoing exploration of responsible hedonism. In The Gift of Time, Vic said, "Everybody who's young is working and studying hard to get to be a good older." The prospect and subject of aging is pivotal to people of all ages. The Gift of Time is a two-day video course. On Saturday we will present Vic in the original first sessions of the course. Sunday will be two sessions that were developed by Cindy & friends and recorded in March 2007.
Top AudienceAn Audience is an intensive course particularly appropriate to students who intend to make dramatic improvement to their lives. In this course a small group of students engage in a confidential dialogue with Cindy and friends over several days. The content and duration of the conversations are predicated by the interests of the students. Cindy answers questions and offers viewpoints on the practical application of the More Philosophy. With a deepened understanding of perfection, fresh perspectives are brought to the specific life situations of the participants.
Top Sunday with Cindy: the Crimp
"God did his last work on Saturday; it's been Cindy ever since...oops, I mean Sunday." - Things I've Heard Vic Say, Volume V
Vic and Cindy actively continued their evolving research all the way to Vic's death. Since then, Cindy has gone on to illuminate Vic's insights by giving them the full balance of a feminine voice and adding her further observations. Cindy has become increasingly aware that there are layers of understanding that continue to expand her experience of joy and fulfillment. In Sunday with Cindy she shares some of her conclusions to date. She describes those parts of her research that have resulted for her in personal breakthroughs in happiness, love, sexual pleasure and embracing change. Cindy shares the processes she has found effective in bringing about these increases so that anyone willing to do the work can reap this bounty as well. A pivotal subject of the course is what Cindy has named "the crimp". She has found that this product of social prejudice affects and limits all aspects of the lives of both women and men. She has given this nearly invisible set of viewpoints a shape and will show that if a person is simply aware of the phenomenon a new level of liberation and light-heartedness becomes available. Sunday with Cindy: the Crimp is a video presentation of the original course held in Oct. 2008. Report on Sunday with Cindy: the Crimp: A report on the original course and on-line study group. read >
Top Sunday with Cindy: Saying Yes to Pleasure
There is something in the air, the sense of a growing tide of energy and creativity. Years ago Vic predicted this, that there would come another wave similar to the one we caught and rode in the creation of Morehouse. This wave, used deliberately, offers even more opportunities for greater self expression - emotionally, sensually and spiritually. It's not a return to a former time but a new era of optimism and openings. There is a "yes" where there once was a "no." We are coming out of a period when a primary social goal for women was to solidify their freedom and not be considered sex objects. In order to gratify women rather than offend them, men adjusted their behavior and denied their desires. This resulted in the dampening down of the urges and feelings of both men and women. It was an on-going process that we each manifested in our own unique and perfect way. This "no" limited fun, not only sexually, but in every way. There is a difference now. There is more freedom now for men and women to enjoy connecting with their own desires, more freedom to profoundly connect with others. Sunday with Cindy: Saying Yes to Pleasure offers heightened awareness of the subtle shifts already taking place in your own perceptions and desires so that you can nourish them and have them grow, fully engaging you in the glorious adventure of your life. This is the true essence of "more", whatever your life choices are or have been. Cindy and friends will share the tools they have found for deepening intimacy and an ever increasing experience of pleasure.
Top Sunday with Cindy: Saying Yes to Pleasure LabCindy Baranco's Saying Yes to Pleasure course, first presented live in March 2011, offers a description of how to have more love, fun and pleasure in all areas of life. Cindy identified a recent shift: there is now a "yes" where for a long time there had been a "no." This realization creates a renewed sense of optimism and the power to dramatically alter the perception of your whole life for the better. Cindy also described how to be interested and fully engaged in your relationships and in your life, making them more meaningful and fun. The new five-week Saying Yes to Pleasure lab course is designed to be a transformative experience wherein you will gain more confidence and proficiency at using the tools and adopting the attitudes that guarantee ever-deepening intimacy in your life. With your partner and others interested in having the best life has to offer, you will watch the entire original information-dense course on video, spread out over four of the five weeks. The homework assignments and subsequent classroom discussions are designed to open up lines of communication between you and your partner to strengthen and deepen your connection. Your thoughts and experiences have value and you will discover how to communicate them to bring about the intimacy that each of us craves. Seeing yourself and one another more clearly in an environment where you are each found right, will bring a new level of compassion to your relationship and make available unrecognized reserves of love. In our experience of this process, if you are a couple who loves each other, the spark that you think may have diminished between you will rekindle (and maybe even burst into flames!) A significant friendship may become more meaningful than ever before. Sharing the experiences of your journey in the classroom and on the confidential on-line student forum (limited to course participants) will create a support group with the same goals: having more fun and intimacy in life. This course is open to couples who want a deeper sense of connection, or any two or three people who want to take this journey of self-realization together. Partner (or partners) required.
