Professional Practice – Year 2

The second year of Practitioner Studies is focused on training in one-on-one client work. Students learn the skills necessary for a Practitioner to be proficient in working professionally with a client. These include communication skills, telephone skills, and training in the ability to apply spiritual principles to human situations through Spiritual Mind Treatment in the practitioner-client relationship. 

Training is also provided in the special functions of the Practitioner, such as funeral/memorial services and Sunday platform duty. In addition, students learn the foundations of setting up a professional practice and continue to deepen Practitioner consciousness. Throughout the year, students investigate the areas of mysticism and expanded consciousness through the study of the teachings of Jesus and other mystics.

Upon completion of Practitioner Training I and II, students are eligible to continue with oral examinations followed by a six month internship/practicum for accreditation as a Religious Science Practitioner (RScP) and participation in the New Thought Philadelphia Practitioner Core Group.
