Advanced Yogic Philosophy and Vedic Counseling Certification Fall 2027
In 2027, we invite you into a deep immersion in the wisdom traditions of India through our Advanced Yogic Philosophy and Vedic Counseling Program. This training offers a unique blend of ancient knowledge and modern application, designed to support both personal transformation and professional practice.
Over the course of this program, you’ll study the foundational texts and philosophies of the Vedic and yogic traditions while learning how to apply them in a counseling context. Rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Vedas, Upanishads, Yoga Sutras, and Bhagavad Gita, this training emphasizes both intellectual understanding and embodied integration.
Through live Zoom sessions, guided study, and practicum work, you’ll explore how Vedic philosophy speaks to the challenges of modern life, and how to hold space for others with clarity, compassion, and integrity. Graduates will leave with a certification in Vedic Counseling, equipped to guide clients through life transitions, spiritual inquiry, and holistic wellbeing.
Over the course of our time together we will explore many topics, some of which are highlighted below. There will also be space for students to bring forward their personal interests and inquiries; additional modules will be curated to meet those interests.
