The short answer is no, you are not strictly required to have participated in a previous cohort to join Level 2 or Level 3. However, there are important prerequisites regarding the course material itself:
To join a Level 2 Cohort: You must have already completed the Level 1 Joy of Living Online course content on your own.
To join a Level 3 Cohort: You must have already completed both the Level 1 and Level 2 Joy of Living Online course content on your own.
Why we follow this path: The Joy of Living levels are carefully designed to build upon one another, with each level providing the foundational understanding and practice necessary for the next. Because the teachings are progressive, we do not recommend skipping ahead. Ensuring you have integrated the previous level's practices through the online course will help you get the most out of the group cohort experience.
