The Adventure Begins


Registration Now Closed for Class of 2012


On May 1st, 2010
the new Ministry Training Program students (Class of 2012) take their first steps on a life-changing journey of learning and self-discovery. We have had a wonderful response to our program, and enrollment for the class beginning May 1, 2010, is now closed.

If you would like to receive information for next year's class, which begins May 1, 2011, contact registrarmtp@yahoo.com. To fill out an application in advance, click the link below to download the application. Please write "Class of 2013" on the top of the form.

Our students have described this program as "a major life experience", "an amazing, powerful, and transformative course," and "an anchor, a beacon of light, and a circle of friends."

Unique Program. This two-year on-line program is one of the only ministerial training programs to incorporate a variety of indigenous spiritual practices and earth-based ways of prayer.  Members of The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers are featured (in the Grandmothers Corner), along with instructors from our staff and allies.
 
Substantial Offering. The two-year on-line program consists of 22 monthly modules, four breathwork workshops, and two five-day retreats held on-site in Northern California. Each full-time student has a Mentor, and there are two hour-long conference calls per month: one with the instructor, and one with our Spiritual Director, Jyoti.  Upon completion of the program, you can be ordained as a Minister of Prayer with the ability to support others at marriages, births, deaths, and other transitions of life.

Flexible Options.  We offer two options for enrolling in the Ministry Training Program:  (1) the full two-year course - $2750 per year ($5500 in total);  (2) the Auditing option at $1100 per year, $2200 altogether.  The Auditing Option has reduced requirements and does not lead to ordination, but auditors have access to all the audio and video content.  Flexible payment plans are available. All payments are in U.S. Dollars.
