Hi Jen. We’re not sure that you can buy the Lifeclass series from OWN. Since we are not an OWN site, you should check on Oprah.com for your question. Also, these different lessons may be on OWN’s YouTube channel or on Oprah.com, so take a look there as well. These are amazing lessons. We hope they start replaying the series as many of the original 25 are simply fantastic.
