Apply for the SPRING 2026 Seminar Foundations in Autonomics
semester one of our 2026 yearlong Autonomics Practicum
Our seminars at this level (graduate) tend to be idea-rich, and filled with people from various (trans-disciplinary) backgrounds with expertise in their respective fields (previous seminars have included Doctors in Social Work, Physical Therapy, Medicine, Naturopathic Medicine, as well as masters-level clinicians and bodyworkers, as well as life and wellness coaches).
We are looking for participants willing to be intellectually and emotionally engaged with this content who are seeking rigorous intellectual preparation and seeking to engage experientially with this content.
The seminar meets weekly for two hours during the semester, and we typically assign an hour or two of content (written or video) as homework between classes.
People encountering our work for the first time find these contexts to be more relational & intensive than traditional academia. We operate a bit more like an apprenticeship or guild structure. We spend a fair amount of time tending to context, and there will be alot of idea exchange. Sometimes these conversations get passionate. So we are looking, in our applications, for fit with our learning culture as much as your academic or professional background.
Generally speaking, we are looking for people who have a background that includes some form of mindful awareness or embodiment practice. We are looking for people who have already spent significant time deepening and developing a relationship with their inner worlds.
If we advance your application, you will interview with the faculty member who is teaching the seminar.
We review applications on-goingly, in the order that they are received, and offer admission on a rolling basis. For the past three years, both our spring and fall semesters have filled. Seminars are capped at 12 participants.
We therefore encourage you to submit your application as soon as you know that you are planning to join us. If offered admission, we will hold your space for a week while you decide.
