Your semester exam will occur after week 16 of your course.

A term paper is submitted the following Monday, so it is well advised that you start your term paper research and writing early, as to not overwhelm yourself at the end of the semester.

After the 13 months of curriculum, you will research and write your Final Thesis. Once that is submitted, defended, and all other assignments are submitted, you will be invited to sit for a final oral exam with a faculty graduation board.

TIFA has set up multiple levels of accountability to steward your success. However, life happens, and especially for people choosing to tell a busy story, it’s quite a convenient avoidance for big stuff being unearthed through the course! We have found that people for whom it’s not the time to do this depth of work (too young, under resourced, needing in-person somatic work), that it is indeed easy to drift off. It takes a tremendous amount of self-esteem, and discipline to stay focused in this and any other rigorous, growth-producing program. At the beginning of the year, you will be assigned an accountability buddy to keep you on track. There will also be a breakout call with smaller groups every 2 weeks. You'll be guided by a whole variety of TIFA faculty and explainer videos. You are significantly supported and encouraged to show up for YOU!

Well, for starters, you might divorce addiction to achievement. ;) All jokes aside (though - perhaps we are being serious..) you will literally outgrow that which isn’t serving you and come into a whole new being. You will become someone you would have once admired. You will take the quest of your hero’s journey and be able to tell your personal story in a way that captivates others. The intended outcome of this course is to evolve to the turquoise level of transpersonal awareness and worldview, as outlined by Spiral Dynamics. In a nutshell, you will become the person you may have dreamed to be - but way more real, authentic, embodied, with a value set that will revolutionize the world.

Moreover, TIFA graduates become token holders of the TIFA DAO, an opportunity for employment within the organization and a forthcoming Master’s Degree in applied Epigenetics (along with both a Health Coach and a Life Coach certificate). Yep. The holy grail of long-form, globally-minded, self growth programs, meant for the driven millennial or confident Gen Xer. TIFA is here to hold higher standards for what’s possible for humanity, and we start with ourselves. Upon completion of the many obstacles in the TIFA path, we get unforeseen benefits, like healing old school trauma, making deep/intimate lifelong friends, traveling all over the world, learning about parts of the human life we didn’t even know existed, healing deep familial rifts and re-orienting our lives to one that we deeply love and appreciate.

Let’s be explicitly clear - you will not “have: to do anything. You are expected to, however, make experiments. Applied Epigenetics, this field TIFA is pioneering, is all about agency. You re-gain agency over your broad-spectrum health when you become a scientist in your own living laboratory. From diet to sleep to hydration… to relationships to work habits to family… from herbs to your psyche to plant medicine, you will be encouraged to make controlled experiments and gain introspective awareness into that which you would not see on your own. TIFA’s flagship 18-month course is a fast-track for awakening, not meant for the faint of heart.

Upon attending your first few INITIATION fasting programs, you will likely start to recapture a vast amount of lost prana (life force energy), perhaps depleted by overwork, emotional stress or unhealthy eating/living habits. After you’ve had that experience of a clear digestive tract, clear mind and open heart - you will likely want to return to your life having made changes. You will never, ever be asked to change your diet dogmatically or institute something you’re not ready for. This is a transition that can and will only ever be led successfully by you and you alone. Agency means taking the reins. Now we’re simply on a quest to find out which part of you grabs them ;).

We want to live in a world where everyone is a bodyworker and has the healing power of touch, where everyone has high emotional intelligence and is able to hold space for a human in process. We believe in a world where future humans are indeed Renaissance People, capable and confident in a variety of spaces. These are the humans we aim to help shape at TIFA. This is a finishing school for the Human Experience.

So yes, you will be required to practice holding space for other humans. You will do this in a very non-dogmatic way, where you will be asked to leave behind people pleasing tendencies, the “do-gooder” seemingly-innocent desire to “help” (masked to bolster your self-worth), as well as being asked to let go of what you think you know or what you think would “help” the person before you - in support of your ability to tap into flow state - and something beyond you coming through you to “coach.” Sounds esoteric? It may very well be. But we have proven that through completion of our content and constant commitment to honest embodiment of our principles, you *will* get there.

But not on day one! In fact, you’re not asked to coach anyone (and perhaps even encouraged not to) for 13 months. This is a sacred time of student hood, whereby you can sit back and look inward, before running outward to “help.” (You’ll thank us later and ‘get it’.) Before you know it, you will be going beyond your mind, and beyond what you think you “knew” and intuiting the ‘perfect’ thing to say to someone at the perfect moment. You will have learned to really listen. And this skill will take you everywhere.

Let’s face it: online courses have an 80% drop out rate… and no one wants to become another statistic. We have shown a track record of tremendous transformation for those who are ripe for this work and lend themselves fully to the process. Because, as we’ve mentioned, it is a process. In normal school, you’re studying the world outside of you, memorizing facts and learning information. Whereas at TIFA, you will be exposed to information, yes, but the *thing* we’re studying is YOU. That’s not always easy. Sometimes it’s much more pleasant to just look the other way… (been there??) So, having learned a tremendous amount from our incredible first 3 cohorts, we have implemented serious criteria around *who* is a good fit for this program, by epigenetic reality as well as personal history. You can find out if we think you will have success here by filling out the application form. We will be turning a lot of applicants away in 2023 and focusing on a smaller subset of humans who are truly ready to do this work. It is free to apply, and we promise, filling out the application form may very well be a healing process in and of itself!

Of course, it goes without saying that to reap the rewards of this course, it is mandatory that you come in with a passion to want more out of the human species - a drive for evolution - and have the commitment to start with yourself. The fast track definitely isn’t for everyone, but for those who “don’t have time” to suffer ignorance or the guarded personality’s conviction for several more years, perhaps now’s your time. Indeed, the greatest prerequisite is the urge to expedite your self-development.

This course is all about taking inventory of your existence. Certainly, of your environment, your body and your habits, but also of your MIND! Learning to look into the shadow (what you cannot easily see), learning to pause and examine thoughts that cross your mind, re-wiring cognitive distortion and developing a sense of trust deeper than cognitive reason. This will naturally lead you to community and a sense of connection to a collective purpose greater than one’s individual desires.

You will have the opportunity to monumentalize and take on the work of a master by doing an apprenticeship. To rekindle the lost art of apprenticeship in today’s world, TIFA promotes the opportunity to immerse yourself and observe the mastery of an elder in any field and receive the transmission. TIFA asks the individual you’ve chosen on your behalf, thereby formalizing the relationship. This could very well be one of the luckiest and most magical experiences of your life if you dream big!

If you are a person who has recently begun your healing from childhood trauma (which we all have!), TIFA may be the right place for you to begin. If you are someone who denies that your early childhood experiences may have shaped your current worldview and outlook on life, this may not be the right place for you. If you are someone who grew up in a war torn territory, had repeated abuse, alcoholic parents or situational abandonment (orphaned, etc.), and you have not already done somatic therapy on these topics, TIFA may not be able to help you over some of those big humps.

As a fully remote entity, at TIFA we believe that individuals who are in the early phases of healing from early childhood Complex Trauma may not fully benefit due to insufficient in-person, hands on contact. Individuals now deciding to heal from these instances, the coping mechanisms from which they have carried for decades, usually find it difficult to sit down and constantly lean in. This may result in the inability to absorb or be open to the information provided in this 18-month course.

If you had Complex Trauma in your childhood and still would like to apply, you can complete the application form, and a TIFA team member will discuss the most suitable options for where you are on your journey.
