Entrance Requirements

  • Candidate suitability: Life experience is an important element in determining suitability. Some therapy, personal growth or spiritual experience is a significant part of this. At minimum, a high school diploma is required.
  • An application form (enclosed), which includes a brief resume of work and education history, therapy, personal growth, workshops, lectures and spiritual tradition involvement.
  • The application form, together with an interview, is sufficient to be granted admission to the program.

In addition, the following are required to complete your admission record:

  • A biography according to the guidelines given on the next page.
  • Two letters of reference from significant people in the candidate’s life are required.

These are for orientation purposes, and are not solely determinative of a candidate’s suitability.
