2011 - 2012 Seasonal Planning
The Global Somatics™ Practitioner Training is designed to guide its students easily, step by step in learning of a large amount of material and many skills. If a trainee attends class faithfully, completes homework monthly, and follows the standards of conduct, s/he will be ready for graduation. Some trainees prefer to do the program at their own pace and in their own way. While this is permitted, certification will not be granted until all coursework has been successfully completed and competency demonstrated.
The Modular Format consists of monthly 5 day intensives over a 22 month period, with 8 hours of class work daily. This program is designed for mature professionals who are capable of the intensive format and self-directed in the completion of homework in between intensives. This is the ideal program for those living outside the Twin Cities and for those who learn well through an intensive embodiment communal experience followed by time to integrate personally and study cognitively.
The curriculum hours are designed for a group of 12 participants. In cases of smaller sizes, a percentage of Professional Competency in class hours will be reduced as more individual attention can be offered in less time.
To help you to realistically structure your life to participate in the training, here is a breakdown of hours per month and season. Because each course is an intensive, we recommend that you come rested and ready for 5 days of layered experiential work. During the follow up month, you will be integrating the work physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. You will be doing homework for that course with practice sessions, reading and writing. You should plan approximately 20 hours per course per season for homework.
