You are here because you have been invited to join the Training of Ministers Formation: The Awakening Path. This course is the beginning of CSP's four-year training program toward becoming a minister in the Congregation. This semester is designed to:

• orient students toward the program, 
• support students in developing personal practices that support their personal journey along the awakening path, 
• allow students to work through prerequisites for the next part of the Training of Ministers, and 
• engage with a series of foundational readings for holding entheogenic sacraments in a spiritual and religious framework. 

It’s also a chance for you to get to know CSP and evaluate whether becoming a minister is the right path for you. For each session, students prepare a set of readings and other "texts" (podcasts, videos, etc.) for group discussion. There is one residential retreat weekend for students to develop deeper spiritual practices and meet one another in person.
