SCCP Professional Certification

This level of certification takes the work to a more advanced level and is for those who want to apply this learning to their professional life. Students pursuing Professional Certification complete all courses for the Co-Heart Certification, in addition to choosing a specialization in one or more of three tracks, doing supervision and case seminars as appropriate, and completion of a special project. Each track has a different curriculum, (much like choosing a major in college) as well as varying prerequisites. Curriculum, pre-reqs, and programs are each outlined below in their respective track.

Sacred Centers Teacher Specialization

The Sacred Centers Certification Program offers both levels of Co-Heart and Professional Certification. Students in the general program complete coursework from Curriculum 101 through 104. Those in the professional program complete the Co-Heart prerequisites and then choose their specialization from three different tracks.

Professional Certification Track: 200 Series

A Sacred Centers Teacher is expected to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the chakra system, and be able to transmit this information through dynamic classes combining yoga, lecture, dyad and group interaction, as well as guided meditations or trance journeys. This requires the ability to teach yoga asanas and pranayama, conduct guided meditations, handle group energy effectively, conduct basic ceremonies, and be well versed in the material and able to communicate it effectively to others. In addition an SC teacher walks her/his talk and lives through their own core in body, mind, spirit, and ethics, as a shining example of this work.

Certified Sacred Centers graduates have the ability to carry this work into the world both through teaching the SC core curriculum on his or her own, and through their own integration of the material, within their professional focus and expertise. Graduate teachers are not limited to teaching SC curriculum but only classes within the standard SC curriculum are eligible for student certification.

Co-heart Kin-dom and Guidance

When a student is complete with their enrollment materials, the Program Coordinator will contact them to set up an initial session. This will include learning about the program’s offerings, classes, requirements, as well as focusing on a student’s learning goals. It is potentially a good time for asking questions, setting intentions, receiving guidance and focus. Within 1-2 months of enrolling, students will be given an opportunity to join a coheart kin-dom, a small group of students who are moving through the program approximately at the same time and rate as they are. This will provide support, co-learning, personal and professional growth and potential collaboration. In addition, Sacred Centers will be offering regularly scheduled tele-classes for students to deepen their learning.
