Level 3 & 4

Our Level 3 & 4 course is where all of your hard work comes into fruition!
This longer nine-week course gives you the necessary time and space to integrate and apply your knowledge gained in Levels 1 and 2.

We will continue creating intimate class environments, emphasising active and experiential learning. We continue systematically developing and safely applying our advancing Focusing skills. There will be small lectures, live and recorded demonstrations, opportunities for questions and reflections, group exercises, games and paired exercises.
