Is the Cohort Experience is right for you?
Do you need the flexibility to follow your own learning path, but still get the truly exceptional, irreplaceable, intensely powerful support of a cohort experience?
If you want the freedom and flexibility to self-guide your Processwork training experience but long for the connection and intensity of an in person intensive learning experience, then the Cohort Experience might be right for you.
Are you looking for the intensive community training that makes such a difference?
We know that the in person cohort experience supercharges student learning. And over three decades, our students consistently report that the cohort experience is what makes all the difference in their learning journey at PWI.
