The School for Soulful Artistry™ Curricula
The School for Soulful Artistry’s™ curricula is organized
within four distinct educational streams
Curricula Options
There are three options for how the school’s curricula can be implemented at your high school or pre-college program.
- Option 1—students experience the school’s artistry and performance skills curriculum (The Foundation Series).
- Option 2—students experience The Foundation Series along with the Taming Test Anxiety course.
- Option 3—students experience The Foundation Series, the Taming Test Anxiety course, and the Life Enhancement Series.
The coursework can be scheduled as an immersion (The Foundation Series presented within one week, or the complete Option 3 curriculum within two weeks) or spread out as weekly or monthly presentations over the course of a semester. Each course is followed up by a Q & A / practicum or experiential process session. Online support is also available for each course in the form of videos and experiential “gyms” via The School for Soulful Artistry’s™ app where students can deepen their familiarity with the tools and techniques presented in each course.

In-Person Follow-up Support
Follow-up support for the Pathways to Performance Mastery courses is organized as masterclass/Q&A or practicum-style sessions. This format allows students to explore newly learned skills within a group setting, receiving feedback from both their peers and the instructors. This approach to skill acquisition builds performance and artistry appraisal skills and the understanding of how to better prepare for performing and creating under pressure.
The in-person follow-up support for the Wholistic Visual Artist, the Taming Test Anxiety program and the Life Enhancement courses is conventional Q & A sessions utilizing experiential processes which offer opportunities to utilize the tools and techniques covered in each of the courses.
Online Follow-up Support
An online learning platform for the students will be available with videos covering all the tools and techniques offered in The School for Soulful Artistry™ curricula. There will also be an app (still in development) where students will have access to a series of experiential “gyms” covering mental health, self-regulation, performance skills, communication, mental imagery, brain integration, and much more.
