intern training at the haven
Intern training is an integral part of The Haven, attracting people from different walks of life and from all over the world.
Training at The Haven involves in-depth, in-the-moment experience of working with groups and individuals on an intensely personal level. It is a challenging and impactful experience. We presently have more than 70 people training at The Haven.
The Haven offers training at three levels:
- Basic Haven Skills
