Our training offerings are for cultural change agents seeking the most advanced and comprehensive study in Soulcraft™.

Some years we offer training programs for human development facilitators, featuring the use of the Soulcentric Developmental Wheel and the Nature-Based Map of the Human Psyche. For more information on our training offerings, download the SAIP Brochure or contact our office at (970) 259-0585.
