Hoffman Fundamentals: An Experiential Introduction^© is a new program that utilizes Hoffman’s proprietary methodology. During this 2-day, in-person program, we will work with family-of-origin belief systems and you’ll learn how to identify and transform counterproductive ways of being, perceptions, and emotional patterns that are limiting your life.

Hoffman Fundamentals FAQs

Is the Hoffman Fundamentals for me?

Hoffman Fundamentals is a program for anyone who:

Is 21-years of age or older
Is curious about Hoffman and wants to experience our methodology
Seeks to do healing and transformational work now
Longs for a connection with themselves and their inner wisdom
Wants more love, compassion, and intimacy with themselves and in their relationships
Seeks to understand the foundational teachings of the Hoffman Process

Hoffman Fundamentals is not for graduates of the Hoffman Process or participants of the Hoffman Essentials 2-day virtual program.

Do I need to take Hoffman Fundamentals before I take the Hoffman Process?

The Hoffman Fundamentals is not a prerequisite for the week-long Hoffman Process, or 2-day Hoffman Essentials virtual program. Although Hoffman Fundamentals can help deepen the Hoffman Process experience, it is not required. This 2-day, in-person program is not a replacement for the Process, nor is it intended to be a condensed version of the Process. Hoffman Fundamentals is a stand-alone program, which provides students with an introductory experience to our work and methodology.
