The first year of training emphasizes basic skills, Focusing with a partner, self awareness, philosophical context (humanistic psychology and phenomenology), and the international scope of the Focusing community.

The second year of training will emphasize theory, texts, community involvement, teaching, writing, and clinical applications, as well a clear path to certification as a professional. (tuition: $800)
