Institute Requirements:

The Institute will be held every other month in person. Saturday mornings will be open to the public and will be a chance to practice group and individual play and connect to a playful community. Saturday afternoons and Sundays will offer skills practice, lecture and discussion, and advanced practice for those in pursuing DvT training with the eventual goal of becoming a practitioner and institute graduate.

Alternate months we will meet virtually on Saturdays for play and discussion.

Safety Precautions

DvT is an embodied, highly physical method that involves touch and at times, close proximity to others. It is of the utmost importance to us that we are able to practice safely and responsibly. At this time we are requiring participants for in-person training be vaccinated against COVID-19. Masks may be required as well, depending on current public health guidelines
