Application Form

“This program was exactly what I was looking for! I value time in community with others and this program holds that value high as well. My cohort became a close knit group from which I will have bonds for the rest of my life. There was room for us to be real with one another and learn from everyone in the group constantly. The teaching staff were BEYOND knowledgeable and truly passionate about what they do and sharing it with others. The YTT program at Sun & Moon changed my life forever in ways that I am deeply grateful for.”

— Annie Sue Welsh, Class of 2016
