**YLP I '20 participants will receive a $100 discount off the tuition for Week II 2020. Prerequisites for participation in Year I:
- Completion of our Week I or the equivalent.
- Knowledge and experience of
psychological dynamics; study, training, personal experience in
psychotherapy, reading, other workshops. We feel it is important for all
participants to have some degree of knowledge about this area. We
include consideration of psychological dynamics in the programs, but
feel people should also have other study/experience in it.
- We designed the programs for individuals interested in bringing their
discoveries from the year into their work and lives. Our participants
are mature, and come with training/examined practice in their particular
fields. They have engaged with the world and have life experience.
- We require each participant to be able and
willing to manage her/his inner material. This work can be quite
stimulating, or challenging, to one's soul/psyche/body (which is one
reason people practice it!), but this will not be a therapy group per
se. Personal issues might well arise, and we will as a group create a
safe space for each person's work to evolve, but we will not be your
therapists. Our main focus will be on the witnessing and responding
processes. We encourage participants to arrange for whatever supports
they might need outside of the programs.
- Commitment to the entire program.
