STRUCTURE

HELIX is a four-year seminary program. Graduates are ordained. There are approximately 150 class hours per year.
Helix is currently under revision. In the past the following has been our structure.

Classes, meet from September through June with no classes held in July and August.
One 8-hour teaching day per month, held on Saturday, from 10:00am - 5:30pm.
One 2-hour Process Group per month, held on Sunday.
There is at least one retreat weekend away from the city each year.
The class meets on Tuesday evenings for a 2-hour intensive on a specific subject. (The intensives are taught by both the HELIX faculty and guest speakers.) At least four 5-week intensives are held each year.
One 1-hour session per month as student therapist is required.
One 1-hour session per month as student client is required
Homework includes readings and process notes.
Two evaluation meetings per year will be held with a supervisor. Evaluations are based on:
- The quality of your spiritual commitment

- Your integration of the conceptual and practical material
You are required to work individually at least twice a month with a Helix Practioner or other trained practitioner of your choice.
