SOLD OUT – New students must register for the next cohort starting in February 2023.
Active students from this cohort who have not yet registered for Fundamentals II, or previous students who wish to register for Fundamentals II in order to attend Level 2 in 2023, are eligible to register. Please contact us for custom invoicing.
  • Fundamentals I: August 15-19, 2022
  • Foundations of SE: September 19-23, 2022
  • Fundamentals II: January 9-13, 2023

The modules run from 7am to 2pm Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). Please note: This training accommodates North American / European time zones. There will be a 1 hour break and two 15-minute breaks.

Days 2-5 will begin sooner to accommodate a check-in group (small groups of students will be assigned to a training assistant to meet daily for support and debriefing before the teaching begins). Time to be announced.

Students are responsible for determining the hours for their time zone. There are many online time zone converters available. We recommend cross-referencing a few of them to ensure accuracy.

**Note: If there is a power, internet or Zoom outage that lasts longer than 10 min, or if there is an unexpected emergency, we will reconvene the next day and extend the training by a day to make up the time. We are unable to lengthen the amount of time each day to make up the time lost.

*The length of the Level 1 modules for 2022 has increased per student feedback. These modules have increased to 5 days (27.5 hours) to ensure enough time for integration, practicing and skill building, depending on the module.

What is Provided

  • 27.5 hours of training over 5 days taught by EQUUSOMA® founder, Sarah Schlote, and a faculty in training (TBD).
  • Students should plan to attend live due to the experiential components, which are not recorded and will need to be made up after the fact at the student’s own expense. While the training is recorded, access is primarily for students who have unexpected scheduling conflicts or needs that arise, requiring them to miss a portion. Students are discouraged from registering with the intention of doing the lecture portions strictly by video.
  • Training materials will be delivered via DropBox. Students are encouraged to download the DropBox materials as soon as possible.

Scholarship Spots

  • We have 2 scholarship spots for BIPOC individuals (Black, Indigenous, or other Persons of Colour facing disparities due to race/racialized trauma). Please see the registration package for more information.

Important Details

The Level 1 training program is offered online to accommodate students from all over who might not be able to access this information if offered in person. When you have completed all the requirements for EQUUSOMA® Level 1, you may progress to Level 2, which includes the live Practical Intensives.

Please review the practice requirements prior to registering. Additional information about practice requirements can be found in the student agreement (links above).

While we have had demand to offer the in-person modules all over the world, we are unable to fulfill all requests at this time. However, as our training team grows, our goal is to offer the Practical Intensives in more locations. Due to the hands-on experiential nature of the Practical Intensives, a limited number of spaces are available per module. We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm as we do our best to meet the growing demand at a pace that is sustainable.
