A large part of the success of this course will be engagements between students, and between students and the instructor. To assist with this, James Sageman has created a forum called The Great Work Community. This will be a safe place where ideas can be presented and discussed. Along with threads surrounding The Great Work and the true nature of reality, there will be discussion post threads for each of The Great Work Platform Courses. James highly encourages everyone to join The Great Work Community and contribute to the ongoing discussions. Being a student of The Great Work Platform is not a requirement to join the community but students will have the greatest amount of resources to reference from.
