Work with a Helper
A Pathwork Helper is deeply immersed in the Pathwork material and has personally experienced its transformative power. Each Helper has undergone intensive training both to teach the material and to hold individual and group sessions to guide others on this spiritual path of self-discovery.
To explore the possibility of individual sessions, we invite you to reach out to one of our Helpers directly. You can also attend a free monthly lecture discussion in your area or one of our upcoming workshops. Discover our Events
