Academics Overview

Global Programs: Seminars

Seminars are an exciting and integral part of the Global Programs.  Most students attend two per year.  Held in California, they are generally six days in length.

Seminars provide daily presentations on major concepts of transpersonal theory and practice, interspersed with course introductions, meditation, movement, body awareness processes, group interaction, creative expression, ritual, and student advising time.

The entire seminar and/or full-day and half-day passes are open to the general public. Seminar Registration Forms and a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to include lodging costs, travel information, amenities, etc., are posted below 3-4 months prior to each seminar.

International Students:  If you’re traveling here from outside the United States, you may require an I-20 to enter the U.S.  Please complete the Request for I-20 form (under International Students), which is only issued for the duration of the seminar. Be sure to submit for each seminar you attend.
