It takes the average student about 6 years to be able to move to an energetic position where they may begin to learn to heal others in the Maker tradition. In this time, the student will spend about 1.5 - 2 years in the Tier 1 classes which are about healing themselves and their world. Three to four more years in Tier 2 & Tier 3 where they spiral outward into this world and then beyond this world. All told, there are about 250 weekly exercises or movements in the first three Tiers. Also, during this time, the student will continue the self-healing practice of recapitulating one's entire life to regain their personal energy.
After that, the Maker Healing Method is taught over the course of 10 classes, and an invitation is given for ongoing practice with the healing lab collective. The student may also begin Tier 4 at this time, which includes 10 master classes on the Maker tradition.
It should be said that the path to healing others in the Maker tradition is not certain or guaranteed. Students are continually evaluated by faculty, especially prior to moving ahead to Tier 3. It is at the end of Tier 3 with faculty approval that the student may choose to commit to the Maker tradition via the Agreement and begin to learn the Maker Healing Method, if they choose to do so.
