Do you have a passion for ministering to the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical needs of others in your family, and community?
Are you looking for a way to use natural therapies and remedies to help those suffering from chronic ailments and diseases?
Sankofa's Minister of Natural Health Certification Program can help you to empower yourself to become a holistic healer for yourself and others. This intensive program focuses on assisting students in taking the journey toward their own holistic healing and thus be enabled to assist others. Based on the philosophy that you can not teach what you do not know, all grades and final certification are dependent upon the student ability to encorporate major principles of health and wellness into his/her own life.
The program begins with the 10 week Holistic Wellness Class Series which will give the student a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts of the disease creation and the healing process. During the 12 month period the student will be required to engage in hands on practicum on site at Sankofa for four 3day/2night periods- one per quarter. The first practicum period will focus on cleansing and detoxification. At that time, he/she will also choose an area of concentration for the final project that must be submitted for review at the end of the program. The second practicum will focus on "Eating To Live". The third practicum focuses on assisting the student on a meditational journey that will be a rites of passage into the world of a holistic healer. The final practicum will reintegrate all aspects of the program in a summary fashion. The student will present his/her final project at this time in written form and in a multimedia presentation for the community.
To successfully complete the program the student will implement a holistic wellness program for a minimum of a year which must include complete a series of holistic cleanses for the colon, liver and kidney (Students may choose to participate in a Sankofa Cleansing Retreat for a discounted fee.) a rejuvenation phase and a maintenance phase. Twelve case studies applying the principles of Sankofa's 3-Step Program must be submitted - one per month. Other program requirements include: a specialization in one of the following course of studies: Children's Health-ADD/ADHD, Natural Family Planning, or Healthy You, Healthy Baby. The student will also receive membership in the Tree of Life Health Assurance program for one year and will have access to Sankofa's Health Professional's Study Library when on site.
Once all case studies and personal journals have been submitted and reviewed, the student will be confered with the "Certification of Minister of Holistic Healing" and may participate in Sankofa's Graduation Ceremony. The total cost of the one year program is $2500.00 - This fee does not include the cost of text books, equipment, testing fees, supplements and other health products, and additional therapy sessions beyond practicums.
