Following rewarding experiences offering Open Source Forms programs ONLINE VIA ZOOM since July 2020, we’re offering another series of eight two-hour weekly online Advanced Practice OSF Sessions, Sundays October 2 – November 20, 2022.

For those who’ve experienced the full spectrum (3 weeks) of Introductory OSF or SRT, and want to deepen their practice and/or pursue OSF Teacher Certification.

Though most Open Source Forms programs are now in-person, we’re continuing to offer weekly advanced sessions online, because so many advanced practitioners in our community live at great distances. We’ve discovered we can indeed feel in-community despite inhabiting separate far-flung environments. That for many, this community became a psychic lifeline during the challenges of a long pandemic. That we can experience rewarding levels of intimacy, adventure, trust & compassion. And that with a playful approach to screens, we’re finding new forms while avoiding the dreaded ‘zoom fatigue.’

Advanced OSF material is deeply rooted in and fluidly expanded from advanced Skinner Releasing practice. It’s where OSF/SRT Introductory work is headed! New alignment insights, new depths, more and deeper deep-states, transporting imagery. Joan Skinner did not intend Advanced Level SRT to be codified or limited to 12 ‘Ongoing’ SRT classes. She left us with a wealth of material not included in those 12 classes. Our advanced sessions are culled from decades of notes, explorations, & advanced material created & passed on by Joan and other veterans, and integrated with improvisation experiments — material developed & augmented by Stephanie and other experienced OSF & SRT teachers during the past 25 years. Stephanie is the only still-practicing facilitator who worked closely alongside Joan Skinner for over a decade, and had the precious opportunity, as a close friend, to roam inside Joan’s brilliant mind with any questions & curiosities.

“These classes are amazing, beautiful, releasing, healing, vital and a bargain.” Julia Sasso, SRT teacher, Toronto

We’re the only SRT or OSF teachers on the planet, that we know of, currently creating classes at this advanced level!

To ensure responsible facilitation, participant numbers are limited. Hold your place by registering for the whole series of eight at a discount, or register in advance for single sessions.

Once again, we offer three payment options: full, online & out-of-work price. Full price participants help subsidize those who are out of work — THANK YOU!

Back by popular demand! Following rewarding experiences offering Open Source Forms programs ONLINE VIA ZOOM since July 2020, with weekly advanced practice series in 2020 & 2021, we’re offering another series of eight two-hour weekly online Advanced Practice OSF Sessions, Sundays 20 February – 10 April 2022. 

Designed for those who’ve experienced the full spectrum (3 weeks) of Introductory OSF or SRT and want to deepen their practice and/or pursue OSF Teacher Certification. 

We’ve discovered we can indeed feel in-community with each other despite inhabiting separate far-flung environments. That for many of us, this community has become a psychic lifeline during the challenges of a very long pandemic with its attendant isolation, grief, and health challenges. That we can experience rewarding levels of intimacy, adventure, trust & compassion. And that with a playful approach to screens, we’re finding new forms while avoiding the dreaded ‘zoom fatigue.’
