The Sei-Ki Training is an immersion year with the aim of giving participants a solid foundation in the work. It is a rolling programme, designed to become the training and support you want and need for as long as you want and need it. Like a Sei-Ki session, it is dynamic and responsive and will evolve over time.
The next cycle of the Sei-Ki Training will start in September 2027 and run until June 2028.
