Any apprenticeship would occur in year-and-a-day time periods, with a renewal commitment reassessed by both parties at the end of each year.
There is a Personal Path apprenticeship and a Path of the Healer apprenticeship. Both apprenticeships are serious commitments and only come after working together for a long time as student and teacher. The decision to enter into such agreement occurs between both parties and Spirit.
The Following is written up with the Personal Path Apprenticeship in mind. Each course would be customized to the individual’s needs and the material would span several ye.
