Join Linda Bettis and friends for a five-week exploration of The Mastery of Self, a Toltec Guide to Personal Freedom by don Miguel Ruiz Jr. This book is a powerful introduction to Toltec wisdom and the path toward living with greater freedom, awareness, and authenticity.
The Toltecs were an ancient civilization that predated the Aztecs. They believed that life as we perceive it is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and our collective dreams come together to shape the “Dream of the Planet.” But problems arise when we forget that the dream is just that—a dream, and not a fixed reality.
The Mastery of Self takes the Toltec philosophy of the “Dream of the Planet” and the personal dream and explains how we can:
- Wake up from our illusions
- Liberate ourselves from the inhibiting stories we all tell ourselves
- Live as our true, authentic, loving selves

Each chapter offers rituals, meditations, and practical exercises for bringing Toltec wisdom into daily life – not only in meditation, but at the grocery store, in traffic, at work, and in our relationships.
Everyone is welcome for five Monday evenings of exploration, reflection, and spiritual practice.
