Course schedule & scheme of work
Session by session, the shape of the journey through the Anastasis Level 7 Diploma.
This is the full scheme of work for the course, from the opening residential to the closing gathering. Each month brings a Theory day and a Practice day, held online, with in-person residentials marking the key turning points of the year.
In the second year, Theory days give way to Research days as you develop, write up and hand in your own research project.
