Online Instruction

Students receive both online and in-person training. Online classes are live and generally held on the weekends so working students can attend.

Each online class is recorded for students who cannot attend at the scheduled time. Students must complete a short assignment if they miss a live session.

In-Person Training Retreats

In-person training retreats are 2-3 weeks long and held twice a year at the beginning and end of the summer. At least 12 personal Functional Integration (FI) lessons from our training program instructors will be delivered during the live segments over the course of the 4 year program. Before the first live segment, you will receive login information with instructions for our FI scheduling. Often the day before and after the in-person live segments, extra FI lessons will also be available. Some members of our educational staff offer these extra FI lessons at an additional cost.

The first day of in-person training starts at 4:00 pm and ends at 9:30 pm (ET) with a 45-minute dinner break. The last day of each in-person segment will be from 9:00am-2:30pm (ET), including a 45 minute lunch break. All other days of the in-person segments are from 12:00pm-6:30pm (ET), including a 90 minute lunch break from roughly 2:30 - 4:00pm (ET). Luggage storage is available if needed on days when you are arriving and departing..

Students have one Thursday off during the May training retreat and two Thursdays off during the August 2025 retreat. For August 2026, the days off will be Tuesday, 8/18/26, and Wednesday, 8/26/26.
