Personal Practitioner Studies

Year 1 - Personal Practice

The first year of practitioner studies focuses on spiritual work within ourselves...

  1. deepening the students’ knowledge and understanding of the Science of Mind;
  2. in depth work in deepening self understanding and the transition into the professional Consciousness;
  3. moving from the role of student of Science of Mind into the role of professional in training.

Students are immersed in rigorous study and practical application of the principles of Science of Mind. Students become aware of what needs to be cleared in their own consciousness as they examine values and dissolve mental conditions that keep themselves from living a dynamic, joyous, and effective life. This study provides the avenue for compassionate understanding of Self and others and develops spiritual awareness for seeing beyond conditions and discerning spiritual Truth.

Professional Practitioner Studies

Professional Practice – Year 2

The second year of Practitioner Studies is focused on training in one-on-one client work. Students learn the skills necessary for a Practitioner to be proficient in working professionally with a client. These include communication skills, telephone skills, and training in the ability to apply spiritual principles to human situations through Spiritual Mind Treatment in the practitioner-client relationship.
