Course fees discount

Due to the difference in economic status, Polish nationals resident in Poland are eligible for a 20% discount. For Polish and students from Eastern Europe or South America, the 20% discount is granted on proof of residency. However the early bird booking discount doesn’t apply. Early registration is still advised with the £50 deposit and this will be deducted from the balance due one month before the course start date.

For example:
Senses and Perception 1: £390 – 20% = £312
Skeletal system: £890 – 20% = £712

We also offer payment by installments. Please let us know when you contact us or register on this website.

Testimonial

“Loved it! A great experience to absorb myself in the senses. It was well structured and held with such commitment and consciousness I was able to surrender to the flow of it. At the end of the course my balance had greatly improved and there was much more space internally. The sense of receiving physical support I realised my body had been yearning for. I noticed I had a high level in trust when trust was already built.”
