Basic Teacher Training Dates & Curriculum

All of our basic teacher trainings are scheduled for the convenience of those who work full-time. We strive to accommodate busy schedules by holding winter classes in the evenings and on weekends. The fall schedule removes the weekly classes and condenses the training into six 2-day weekend intensives and a one week retreat. Below is a listing of our upcoming trainings.
