- You are drawn to exploring consciousness, healing and transformation in a structured, ethical and grounded way.
- You are a therapist, psychologist, facilitator, coach, or a professional in the helping fields seeking a transpersonal framework.
- You are not a mental health professional, but you have a serious personal calling toward self-exploration and inner work.
- You value experience as much as theory, and understand that personal process is part of professional development.
- You are willing to commit time, presence and responsibility to a long-term training process.
