Certified Abaton Method Practitioner
The mastery year
Integrative retrieval and restoration of the whole self.
11 months · Live and online
The Abaton is the innermost sanctuary, the sacred inner space set apart from ordinary life, where the deepest healing becomes possible. The Abaton Method, developed by Sanela Čović, is the practice of creating that space within the therapeutic relationship: a container safe enough and deep enough that a client can move beyond ordinary consciousness into the higher states where what was wounded can be reached, what was lost can be retrieved, and what was fragmented can be made whole.
The year of mastery
Where the Advanced year teaches the full range of energetic and spiritual modalities, this is the year they become one. You do not learn a new catalogue of methods here. You take everything you already hold, hypnotic regression, soul retrieval, energy work, and parts therapy, and you integrate it into a single fluent, personal, and clinically disciplined practice, organised around a four-layer reading of the person and the principle of working gently from the outside in.
This is the difference between knowing many techniques and possessing a method. A method is a coherent way of meeting whatever a client brings, across every layer of their being, with the discernment to know when to move, when to wait, and when to leave something untouched.
"The Abaton is not a technique you perform on someone. It is the space you become, so that what was lost in them can be met, received, and brought home." Sanela Čović
The supervised caseload
The heart of this year is your own clinical work. Across the year you carry a caseload of clients seen over multiple sessions, the deeper arc the Abaton Method is built for, and you bring that work to supervision continually. This is where mastery is formed, and where it is shown. You are not certified on what you can recite. You are certified on what you can hold.
Certification - On completion, and on the successful presentation of your supervised caseload, you are certified as a Certified Abaton Method Practitioner, among the only practitioners trained and certified in this method, because the method is ours.
What is included - All sessions recorded; monthly weekend intensives and masterclasses; learning platform access; the script library and clinical tools vault; a private student community; group clinical supervision throughout; and individual mentoring with Sanela.
Tuition - This year is offered by application, and the fee is discussed when we speak. As a small, supervision-intensive mastery year, places are very limited, and we keep the group small enough to hold the depth of the work.
A deposit secures your place once you are offered one, and counts toward your total. Payment plans are available across the year. We offer adjusted regional pricing for participants in the Balkans and in other regions where the full international fee would not be proportionate to local incomes; if this applies to you, tell us when we speak.
Entry - The Abaton Method year is open to anyone certified in transpersonal hypnotherapy, regression, and parts therapy, whether with Nai Do or with another recognised training. Entry is by application and review of your prior training and your readiness for supervised client work at this depth. The Advanced Practitioner Program is not a prerequisite, though its breadth is a natural preparation for the integrative depth of this year. The two years may be taken in either order.
Enrolment for the September 2027 cohort opens soon. Places are very limited. If this work is calling you, register your interest now and we will contact you the moment applications open, and before we announce it more widely.
