To enhance our humanity, balancing technology with the understanding of emotions is the future for business and for all of us

The Human Relations Program (HRP) is an exciting opportunity to learn how we humans function. The program offers a unique and in-depth understanding of the emotional, mental and energy systems in the body, how those systems work for us and against us, and how to work with those systems both individually and in relationship to others.

Each of us is the sum total of our life experiences, our genetic inheritance and our social environment. Our thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, feelings – all have been influenced by our histories and in turn influence our future. This program is designed to help each participant gain awareness of these influences and use them constructively for success and satisfaction in the life each person chooses to live.

Whether you are seeking growth within yourself, in your professional life, or in your relationships, this program can provide you with an unparalleled understanding of human dynamics.

If you are ready to take your life to the next level, we can show you the way.

Human Relations Training Program Format

HRP meets for 27 Wednesday evenings through the fall, winter and spring, following an opening weekend in September. In addition, participants may attend optional weekend workshops and/or a 5-day residential workshop in the spring.

There are two levels to the program:

Level I

Level I is a one-year program that will teach you the fundamentals of In-Depth Body Psychotherapy and Subtle Energy Healing, and how to integrate what you learn into your personal and professional growth. This is an exciting, cutting-edge therapy that allows for change and growth at the core of one’s being. During the first half of each evening, you will be taught this dynamic therapy/healing process through lecture and demonstration. The second half of the evening is devoted to a trainer-facilitated group discussion of the material and how to apply it to interpersonal relationships, personal issues and professional interactions. The groups are small (8-9 students) to provide optimal support and opportunity for each participant. Students receive a certificate of completion at the end of the one-year program and if criteria are met in the understanding and integration of the Level I material, students may advance to Level II.

Level II

Level II deepens students’ understanding and ability to use the skills learned in Level I. The basic format remains the same: in the first half of the evening, you will attend weekly advanced lecture/demonstration sessions, followed by group process in the second half, allowing you to deepen the work on your personal concerns and issues. A certificate of completion is granted at the end of the program year.

Optional Workshops

Optional weekend workshops and the Spring Intensive are available to all HRP students.
