Courses

Please note, for online learning sessions, in order for STC to grant credit for the course and issue a certificate of completion, your camera must be enabled for the duration of the Synchronous Sessions and you must be visible to the instructor.  This applies to all online courses offered by STC.  All asynchronous work is expected to be completed by the scheduled due date, as these assignments are often reviewed/shared in the next session.

Benefits of intuitive practice include stress reduction, strengthening sense of self, cultivating a practice of play. No experience is necessary to participate, as the instructor will ask you to suspend all self-critique and judgement in order to fully engage with your intuition. 3 Hours CTLE
