Students begin the program with a five-day (School of Philosophy and Healing in Action) SOPHIA intensive in January. Additionally, three consolidation weekends, which provide the opportunity for review and integration of the work conducted during the previous courses, include coaching and mentoring.  The consolidation weekends occur after every two courses and a four-day intensive is scheduled at the conclusion of the core courses prior to moving into independent study work. The consolidation weekends are a unique feature of our program and these sessions are co-designed by students and faculty to ensure that learning is cumulative and effective.
