Write a little bit to share with us what you feel is your "soul mission/ soul purpose." What do you *really* want to do in life? There is no wrong answer here and this will not be "evaluated" in terms of your acceptance into the program. *
How'd you hear about KotE? *
Why Keepers of the Earth, and why this particular 200 Hour Teacher Training program? *
What do you see yourself doing after completing the program? (We dare you to dream) *
Tell us about briefly about your current spiritual practice.  *
Experience/ Background with Yoga, Breathwork & Meditation *
Please list any trainings in Yoga, Meditation and/or Breathwork that you've completed, "styles" of yoga you are familiar with, meditation/breathwork methods, etc.  Feel free to share as much as you feel would be helpful to know.  *
Have you had any major spiritual teachers in your life?  If so, what sort of things did you learn and what was your experience like with them? *
Due to our desire for discretion, on the KotE website we do not openly display our use of sacramental plant medicine during the training. However, we want to make you aware that there WILL be ceremonial sacraments of Cannabis and Ayahuasca used during very intentionally placed & curated times in this training. Our engagement with these plant teachers will be integrated into the work that we are doing. If you are selected for an interview you will have an opportunity to ask questions about this to ensure you are in alignment. Please indicate your awareness of this aspect of our YTT.  *
Have you read through each of the website pages and feel like you have a clear sense for what the KotE 200 HR YTT is all about?  *
For the 2025 training, please be aware of the accommodation options and indicate your preference (note: this does not guarantee that the selected space will be yours but it is helpful for us to know. Note that in addition to the base payment for the YTT, a premium of +$200 will be added for a private tent and +$600 for the private room in the house).

Option A) Shared Deluxe Tent (4 available)
Option B) Private Deluxe Tent (5 spaces available)
Option C) Private Room in House (one available)

I understand that if I am accepted into program, a $1000 non-refundable deposit (allocated towards the overall tuition) secures my spot on the program and is due immediately, and that I am to bring the remainder of the payment in CASH to the retreat center to pay upon arrival.  *
I am aware that if I am accepted into the program, I must complete the Intake Form and submit my deposit no later than that dates listed on the website. *
I am aware that the acceptance process may include a brief phone interview with Grant, and (if required) will make myself available for a 30 minute phone call at a suitable time. *
I understand that transformational processes worth my investment are likely to challenge me, and may confront growth edges in myself, so that I can move beyond my comfort zone. I am prepared for this and will maintain a good attitude towards myself and others during the training if I am accepted into the program. *
I've read through the "Course Policies & Terms of Agreement" page on the website, realize that these are integral parts of the training process with KotE, and if I am accepted into the program I will adhere to these standards to ensure a quality training experience for myself and others? *
I've read through the "FAQ" , "Payments" and "Registration" pages on the website and have no further questions.  *
I know that this is a major life decision and so I do not submit my application without strong consideration of whether or not this is the right thing for me at this time. *
Should I go through the program, I am enthusiastically committed to uphold the standards and quality of the Keepers of the Earth Yoga School as a practitioner of the ancient arts.
*
Since the YTT will be held in Costa Rica, my passport is up to date and ready for international travel for the period of the training. 
*
My application has been submitted PRIOR to or AFTER the submission deadline of October 1st 2024 *
Anything else you'd like for us to know? *
Having reviewed the website and reflected on my decision to apply for the KotE 200 HR YTT in Costa Rica, I am ready to submit my application.
