Our 50-hour CTM 1 series consists of 10
workshops offered one weekend a month over the course of a year. In-depth class notes and online videos included.
Workshops can be taken individually, though there is a discount for the complete series. Ten 5-hour days are sequenced progressively, beginning in September, but are not required to be taken in order. In each class, emphasis is placed on perceiving, understanding, and guiding qi for specific therapeutic benefit. Upon completion of all 10 CTM 1 workshops, a 50-hour certificate will be issued.
The CTM Certification series is 10 five-hour individual weekends, paid individually over the course of the year ($650 total) or by a single full-program discounted tuition ($600). For participants who have already enrolled in one full weekend day ($65), this tuition can be applied to a 9-weekend discount package ($535). All workshops will be recorded in the event a participant misses a class.
For 2020-21, our CTM 1 series will still meet online. All exercises, as well as palpation
of soft tissue, channels, and cavities, will be made clear through our live stream workshops, detailed class notes,
and online video recordings.
