Agreement/Contract for Teachers and Volunteers in an Authorized HSE Training The primary function of the HSE Training is to enable students-in-training to learn what they need to learn and to refine their clinical Somatics skills (e.g., handling, interpersonal, cognitive, theoretical, experiential, etc.) so that they can become more proficient certified practitioners of Hanna Somatic Education.

Your primary role as HSE Training Volunteer is to help the Teachers in the HSE Training, to respect and preserve the integrity of the Training at all times and in all ways, to observe and learn what HSE Teachers do, and to fulfill whatever responsibilities and/or obligations necessary. The Teaching Team has learned that it is a great disservice to students to introduce too much information and/or too many variations too soon in the Training. Therefore, in fulfilling your role as an HSE Training Volunteer you also agree to observe, respect, and honor the Teaching Team’s decisions about boundaries, how to conduct, and how to pace the Training. This means that you absolutely agree to refrain from teaching anything that the Teaching Team has not yet taught and that you will restrain yourself from bringing-up anything that the Teaching Team has not yet introduced (i.e., if you are unsure whether the Team has taught something, you will decline any entreaties to teach that thing and you will also restrain yourself from volunteering anything that the Teaching Team has not yet introduced to the students).
