Don’t miss the Cohort Experience 

You want the freedom and flexibility to self-guide your Processwork training experience, so it matches your goals, and works with your resources and timing needs.

But it can be really lonely and hard, studying on your own.

Students love faculty, the curriculum, the school, but it is the cohort and in person residency experience that supercharges the learning.

Our students consistently report that the residency and cohort experience makes the difference in their processwork learning journey at PWI.  

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your Processwork training and work toward recognition as a Processwork Diplomate in a self-guided program with our cohort experience offering.
