    Program Structure:

    • Sessions: We will offer sessions that will be structured to deliver content, or to receive feedback from the instructors.
    • Assignments: Assignments are designed to help you learn through experience. The material in this program cannot be mastered by just reading or attending sessions. It needs to be practiced, reflected upon, and fully experienced.
    • Solo Practice: In addition to sessions and assignments, there are two extra activities that will allow you to practice on specific skills and glean new insight.
