The Advanced Studies–Brennan Integration Work (AS–BIW) program offers professional courses of study in Brennan Integration Work. It provides a powerful journey of transformation—expanding and deepening your facilitation skills as a healer and further opening the way for the full expression of your life’s work.

Utilizing the framework of the practice of Brennan Healing Science, all principles and skills are taught from the perspective of the Human Energy-Consciousness System. Students learn how to apply these principles to create and support effective group dynamics, individual and group learning, and team building.

Specific courses within this program are delivered by a combination of Resident Training, Distance Learning Modules, and private supervision sessions. Throughout the program students are supported by experienced faculty who serve as mentors, teachers, and supervisors. Upon successful completion of Advanced Studies Years One and Two in Brennan Integration Work, students will receive certification as a Brennan Integration Practitioner (BIP), qualified to provide BBSHJ students with their required personal process sessions.

Advanced Studies Year 1
Year One of the Advanced Studies Brennan Integration Work program focuses exclusively on a practitioner’s capacity to attend to a client’s ongoing personal process. It emphasizes body and energy awareness in a person’s emotional and psychological experience. Students are taught how to track and understand individual and group dynamics and to experiment with making process observations and reflections versus giving guidance and advice to their clients.

Year One students are required to make a written and oral presentation on a chosen psychological disorder, as well as take a final exam. Students are required to complete Distance Learning Modules that will be reviewed and discussed during in-class supervision groups.

Application to Year One is open only to graduates of the four-year Brennan Healing Science Professional Studies Program. Acceptance is based on a review process and the number of available enrollment positions.

Advanced Studies Year 2
Starting in the 2009–10 school year, Year Two of the Advanced Studies program will be a continuation and deepening of what students learn in Year One. In Year Two, students will be expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of individual process dynamics, and an ability to deepen a client’s work, both within a session and over the course of successive sessions.

Students will participate in group presentations, and specialized segments will be presented to incorporate techniques to help clients manage emotional intensity. Students will be required to complete Distance Learning Modules, and demonstrate their proficiency with process work, both in person and through long distance phone sessions.

Year Two will be open only to those students who have successfully completed Advanced Studies Year One—Brennan Integration Work. Students who successfully complete Advanced Studies Year Two will receive a Diploma (Advanced Studies Year Two—Brennan Integration Work), and will be certified as Brennan Integration Practitioners (BIPs).
