The Somiatry program offers a Six-Step process toward becoming a Servant to Humanity (Ser):
01
Apprenticeship
02
Introduction to Shephard Healing
03
Practical Shepherd
This first step is a significant achievement for individuals with a minimum high school diploma or equivalent, paving a career path within the Art, Science, and philosophy of Life, Health, and Healing through the practice of the laying on of hands and Healing. It is the very beginning where the Fundamentals of the Laws of Healing: Bio-Dynamics, Bio-Chemistry, Contraries, Similars, Structure & Function, along with the Medical Disciplines: Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Chemistry, Health Assessment, Healing Modalities, and more, are learned. This level forms the primary foundation for all remaining academia. This level is an approximate 2-year program that leads to a Certificate in Somatics (Bodywork, massage).
2 Years
This is the next step for those who have completed step 1, or an acceptable apprenticeship program, and chose to further their education in an expanded curriculum that includes education drawn from the schools of Ayurveda, Herbology, Homeopathy, and Nutrition, as well as various philosophies of Indigenous Medica. This program is approximately two years long, marking a significant growth in the journey.
2 Years
This two-year program allows individuals to deepen their training and apply their skills while serving on the staff of a healing ministry under the guidance and tutelage of an Anointed Shepherd or Servant. The curriculum includes aromatherapy, reiki, craniopathy, structure & function (Naprapathy), and meridians, focusing on specific areas like Nutrition,
Herbology, and Homeopathy. Electives in Ethnic & Energy Healing, Guided Meditation, astro-cybernetics, and more are available, with options for advanced standing. Upon completing this level, one may establish a practice independently within a Mission of Healing. This individual practice is under the mentoring of a Servant to Humanity or Anointed Servant to Humanity. Completing this level is a significant achievement in their career.
