1. Do you need to have tried therapy before undertaking The Hoffman Process?
No. The Hoffman Process is open to all, offering people rapid emotional healing and spiritual growth, as well as the ability to recognise persistent negative behaviours, moods and attitudes. Though some of participants will have undertaken therapy, it certainly isn’t a prerequisite. All participants are given a thorough screening to ensure that The Hoffman Process is the right personal development course for them. The Hoffman staff are able to recommend alternatives should someone be advised that the Process is not for them. Under these circumstances any deposit will be refunded.

2. Can I meet people who have done the Hoffman Process?
Yes. The Hoffman Institute hold regular Information evenings at Regents College in London. These last about 2 hours and give you the opportunity to meet teachers, staff and participants who have just completed the course. These are free of charge and there is no need to book. Alternatively you can call the office and we can put you in touch with previous participants willing to talk about their experience. Please see the calendar for dates and other Hoffman events around the country.
