  • Intensive Day of Meditation Sign-off forms – Especially now that WTY courses are happening again, there has been some confusion about signing off on attendance at the required day of intensive group meditation.  Therefore, we have added a sign-off section for the Intensive Day of meditation on the L1 Certification Requirement form.  We have also made a stand-alone sign-off sheet, in case trainers and Administrators need the form separately from the L1 Requirement Form – Intensive Meditation day completion form.
