LEVEL I PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT -- AN INTRODUCTION
Earn 33 CEU's and have fun learning to be PSYCHIC

       Level I Psychic Development is 33 classroom hours of theory and practice  instruction in Psychic Awareness.  All Psychic Development Courses are offered  in  three convenient weekend Parts (Part I, II and III).   Students take Part I. Then they have approximately a one month break before coming back to continue their studies in Part II and Part III.  This break helps students to process and integrate what they have learned in Part I.  Part II offers students to continue the momentum of their development. Part III offers students the option to complete the course in order to move on to more advanced levels  Students from outside of the New York City area find the weekend courses very convenient.  Holistic studies Institute offers these weekend classes to make it more conveniently adaptable for the busy schedule of our students and to make it convenient for students coming in from out of town.  Imagine coming to NYC on Friday evening, taking class on Saturday, ending at 3:30 PM.  You may enjoy the exciting night life of restaurants, take in a Broadway Show or participate in all the energy and excitement that NYC has to offer.  Then on Sunday morning class resumes at 10 am and ends at 3:30 pm.  You have now finished and may conveniently drive or fly home on Sunday evening.  You don't have to take time off from work, you've taken an exciting weekend class and you've had plenty of time to enjoy the most exciting city in the US.. 
      Upon completion of Level I (which is three weekends) students receive a certificate of completion indicating that they have earned 33 Continuing Education Units in Practical Intuition from the Holistic Studies Institute.  Because Level I is so exciting as well as fascinating, most students completing Level I choose to continue developing their psychic abilities by taking the other more advanced levels in our program.  See the Program Details below for more information on Holistic Studies Institute's complete Psychic Development Program.  Learn how you may become certified as a Certified Intuitive Consultant and or as a Certified Psychic-Medium, by Holistic Studies Institute.

Welcome to New York's Psychic Development Program!

 

      Holistic Studies Institute extends a warm welcome all who wish to unfold their psychic potential by participating in its Psychic Development Program at its Midtown Manhattan location.   Having been founded 35 years ago, the Holistic Studies Institute has a rich history of offering education in the intuitive arts.  It has  become a respected leader and an authority in the area of Psychic Development. To date over 10,000 people in the US have participated in our programs.  

      Since its inception, HSI has offered more than just psychic classes.  We now offer an updated and restructured  three-level accredited program in psychic and mediumship development designed to prepare students to become so well trained that they are eligible to become a Certified Intuitive Consultant and or a Certified Psychic-Medium.    This program has  enrolled people from all walks of life who have learned and developed  fascinating psychic and mediumistic abilities.

 

About the Program 

 

             Without burdensome work involved, the Psychic Development Program at HSI is designed to be  fun, informative, concise and comprehensive.  It emphasizes common sense, balanced with spirituality, which gives quality, depth and meaning to the psychic development process.

       In our courses, students frequently participate in a psychic development circle (which is like a psychic laboratory),  led by  qualified teachers, for the purpose of developing mediumship and other psychic abilities. This circle begins with a meditation.  Next, the teacher will help students to sort out the psychic impressions, which they receive and gently lead them into a discovery of their unique mode of psychic expression.  All efforts are made, each week, to create a conducive atmosphere which will provide you with numerous opportunities to have meaningful psychic experiences.

       A great feature of our program is our low tuition.  Our Weekend Course is priced at a very low $260 per weekend (If you enroll BEFORE or at the very latest, on the Friday before the class begins by paying tuition in full according to the above stated policy) otherwise walk-ins at the door must pay  $295. Tuition for our Circle of Light evening course is payable in installments--see below for tuition details.

       Moreover, our classes are small (generally 10-25 students).  A close teacher-student relationship is important to us and to the quality of your psychic education.  Integrated into our program are written texts, authored by experts, which utilize knowledge derived from many years of research. 

  Our classroom environment is warm and friendly. A close, harmonious feeling is generated between students, and very quickly  we find our classmates becoming a cohesive, family-like unit.

TUITION

Reduction of Tuition -- Now only $230 per weekend class -- (a $30 savings over last year)

Psychic Development Tuition-- Levels I - III--Payable in advance

 

     All tuition must be paid in full before enrollment is accepted.  In addition,  tuition and enrollment must be complete by Friday of the evening immediately preceding the class. 

 

Total tuition payable in advance for each weekend is only $230.

 

Walk-in (non-enrolled students):  We understand that at times there are extenuating circumstances when it is not possible for you to pre-enroll according to our policy.  We do allow for walk-ins, but because we must reserve rooms for our classes in advance, we need to know how many enrollments we have.  This causes extra administrative work and expenses for our program.  Therefore tuition is slightly higher for people who just walk in to take our courses. In all cases the teacher of the course has the right to refuse admittance to any walk-in that the teacher perceives may not be an appropriate candidate for our courses or that particular level.  All prerequisites must be met before you are accepted into any level course.  Total tuition for walk-ins is payable at the door to the teacher in the amount of $260.

 

    Want to REPEAT a class?  Tuition for repeat students is 1/2 = $115 per weekend class:

 

For any student who wishes to repeat a class they may do so at a significant reduction in tuition.  Tuition is ONLY $115 for repeat students!!  Call our office for more details.

  

     Note: All weekend Psychic Development Levels are taught and presented over 3 weekends.  Students will receive a Certificate of Completion when they have finished the 3rd weekend. 

 

 

     By comparing our Program to other courses of similar nature, HSI provides 20 hours of instruction in each level with a very competitive tuition.

 

Texts:  For Level I & Level II there is a text, each of which is $30 (including tax) and may be purchased at the first class.  There is no text for Level III,   However, handouts may be given instead of texts.  There is no additional charge for these handouts.
