Live Online Personal Transformation Course — Core Transformation Foundation, with Tamara and Mark Andreas

Core Transformation Foundation Training is a six half-day live online training in the complete ten-step Core Transformation process — an inner change methodology developed by Connirae Andreas, Ph.D., in the early 1990s. The method works by treating a stuck pattern not as a flaw to fix, but as a part of you with a positive purpose: you turn inwards ask what it wants, and follow a step-by-step process into a core state like peace, presence, being, wholeness. There is no forcing and no willpower, and most people feel a shift in just one or two sessions. The Foundation Training guides you through the full process - live demonstrations with Tamara and Mark Andreas, supervised practice in small groups, and the structural framework needed to apply the process in your own life. It is also one of the few methods of its kind to have been tested in published research, with encouraging results. effectiveness.

The Foundation Training is the entry point for those who wish to continue on to the Advanced Core Transformation Training. You do not have to have any  prior Core Transformation or NLP background. Day 1 walks you through the conceptual foundation. From there you move through the process in sequence with live demonstration, supervised practice in small breakout groups, and plenty of Q&A. By the end of the six sessions, you carry the protocol as a skill — not memorized as a checklist, but experienced as a process you can do on your own.

What's the Investment for the Foundation Workshop?

The Foundation Training is currently offered at US $695. This rate covers the full six-half-day live training and includes all training session recordings. Payment plans are available.

Bonus — Complete Recordings of Your Workshop

Every session of the live workshop — instruction, demonstration, practice debriefs, and Q&A — is recorded and made available to registered participants for ongoing review. Foundation participants frequently describe returning to specific demonstration recordings months and years later, when a new pattern arrives in their life and they want to walk the steps again with fresh attention. The recordings convert the six-day workshop into a lifetime resource.

What do you learn in Core Transformation training?

In Core Transformation Foundation Training you learn the complete process developed by Connirae Andreas — a protocol for guiding any unwanted inner pattern to the core state it has been reaching for all along. The training combines live demonstration with Tamara and Mark Andreas, supervised practice in small groups, and the structural framework needed to apply the full process in your own life.

In the Foundation training, you experience Core Transformation for yourself.  You watch Tamara and Mark work live with participants, so you can see how the process unfolds.  Then in small break-out rooms, you go through it yourself - with something in your life you would like to change - while the trainers and assistants are there to support you. The whole training is built around your own experience of the process, not around learning to perfect it.  

Why Your Obstacles Are Actually Doorways

This is the heart of what makes Core Transformation distinctive. Every pattern that has been running you — the anxiety, the criticism, the compulsion, the reactivity — is a part of you trying to take you somewhere. It is clumsy, often. The path it has chosen is wearing you out. But the destination it is pointed at is not the problem. The destination is exactly where you want to go.

Connirae Andreas spent decades studying what happens when, instead of trying to defeat such a part, you ask it the next question. The ten steps are that line of questioning. Each one moves the part closer to what it has been reaching for. By the time you arrive at the core state — peace, presence, being, wholeness — the pattern has accomplished its purpose. It dissolves because the inner reach has been met, not because it has been conquered.

This is also why the work transfers. Once you know the ten steps, you can take any pattern through them — the one you came in with, and the ones that arrive next year.

How long is Core Transformation training?

Core Transformation Foundation Training is a sixhalf-day live online training - October 23–26 and October 31 to November 1, 2026 — taught by Tamara and Mark Andreas. Foundation graduates can continue with Advanced Training (runs over 6 Saturdays) and then the Core Transformation Coach Certification on CoreTransformation.org.

The full Core Transformation pathway runs Foundation (6 half- days), Advanced (a separate training over 5 half-days on Saturdays), and the Coach Certification (multi-month, with supervised practice and mentoring). Most participants take Foundation as a standalone experience for personal development. Those who want to integrate the work into a professional practice progress through Advanced and Certification over the year that follows.

An Investment That Has The Potential To Pay You Back Many Times Over

Think of integrating Core Transformation into your practice as a strategic investment in your continuing education.

With just a few additional client sessions, not only does it pay for itself, but it also amplifies the value you provide. That leads to increased client satisfaction, retention, and referrals.

In a profession where results speak louder than words, Core Transformation can help you create the thriving practice you know you can have.

DISCLAIMER: We are not making income claims here. Just showing you how this is an investment that can pay for itself when applied correctly in your practice.

In today’s digital age, we are no longer limited by geography. Our Core Transformation Foundation workshop harnesses the capabilities of Zoom to bring you a live, interactive experience, no matter where you are in the world.

Here’s what you can look forward to during the workshop:

• Personal Interaction: Engage directly with the trainers (Tamara & Mark) and fellow participants. Ask questions, share insights, and be an active part of this learning experience.
• Breakout Sessions: Dive deeper into the material with breakout sessions. These smaller groups allow for more intimate discussions, hands-on practice, and personalized feedback.
• On-the-Spot Coaching: Should you need guidance or clarification during exercises, experienced coaches are available to assist, ensuring that you walk away being able to do this process with yourself and others.
• Comfort and Convenience: Attend the workshop from the comfort of your own home, eliminating travel costs and time. All you need is a stable internet connection and the desire to transform.

The Foundation workshop takes place over two weekends over zoom. Here is the full schedule:

•  Fri. October 23, 10:00am – 2:00pm Denver Time (4 hours)
• Sat. October 24, 10:00am – 1:00pm Denver Time (3 hours, followed by 30 min bonus Q & A time)
• Sun. October 25, 10:00am – 2:30pm Denver Time (4-4.5 hours)
• Mon. October 26, 10:00am – 1:00pm Denver Time (3 hours, followed by 30 min bonus Q & A time)
• Sat. October 31, 10:00am – 2:00pm Denver Time (4 hours, followed by 30 min bonus Q & A time)
• Sun. November 1, 10:00am – 1:00pm Denver Time (3 hours)

Graduates who bring Core Transformation into their professional work describe four shifts. First, client sessions move on patterns that talk therapy was circling. Second, the working alliance deepens — clients feel met by a method that does not require them to be different before they can be helped. Third, the practitioner reports their own inner steadiness in the room: the Core Transformation method gives you somewhere to put your attention when a session opens into unfamiliar terrain. Fourth, the methodology framework complements existing training rather than competing with it. The result is not a new identity. It is a deeper version of the one you already have.

Can you take Core Transformation training online?

Yes. Core Transformation Foundation Training is taught live online by Tamara and Mark Andreas in a group format that includes live demonstration, supervised practice, and Q&A -  the same architecture used in the in-person workshop. A self-paced video study option is also available as a separate Core Transformation Online Foundation video course.

Live online preserves what the in-person workshop offers and adds time-zone flexibility through session replays. What live online preserves that asynchronous video cannot is the real-time demonstration with a participant in the room — the moment of insight as it happens, the moment of adjustment when the next step needs a different angle. For a fuller overview of the methodology itself, see the Core Transformation methodology overview.

The Live Online Experience — Engaging, Interactive, Convenient

Sessions are taught live over Zoom in agroup format. Each of the six sessions includes live demonstration with Tamara and Mark, breakout rooms for supervised practice with assistant trainers present, multiple Q&A blocks across the session. Replays of every session are posted within twenty-four hours for time-zone flexibility, and the complete recordings remain available for one year afterward the training.

What Others Say About the Foundation Workshop

Graduates often describe Foundation Training the same way: they came in with a specific pattern they wanted to change, and they left with a method for meeting every pattern that arrives after it. Below, one Foundation graduate describes that arc in her own words. A full transcript is available below the player.

What People Bring to This Work

Core Transformation is not a single-issue technique. The process applies to any internal pattern that won't yield to effort alone. People bring it to:

•   Anxiety and reactive fear states that take over before you can choose otherwise
•   The inner critic — the voice that knows exactly where you are most tender and uses it
•   Addictive patterns and compulsions that have outlasted every plan to stop them
•   Grief that does not move, even when you have done the things grief is supposed to move through
•   Relationship reactivity — the moment a partner, a parent, or a child can still pull you down a path you didn't choose
•   Performance and creative blocks that arrive exactly when the work matters most
•   Body symptoms that carry emotional history — headaches, tightness, the chest that refuses to open
•   Spiritual longing without a destination — wanting something more, without knowing what it is
•   Patterns of overgiving that look like care from the outside and feel like depletion from the inside
•   The felt sense of being stuck without a name for what is in the way

What unites these patterns is not the surface complaint but the structure underneath: a part of you that has been working hard, in the only way it knows how, to reach a felt state it cannot name. The Core Transformation process gives it a path.

What Core Transformation Can Offer You

•   Peace under pressure — the felt sense that you can stay with what is happening without bracing against it
•   Presence in moments that used to spin you — a quiet steadiness that the situation no longer dictates
•   Trust in the parts of you that have been carrying the most — even the ones you've been at war with
•   A felt sense of integration replacing the felt sense of being divided against yourself
•   Aliveness returning where numbness had moved in
•   The recognition that what you have been searching for has been inside you all along, waiting to be approached the right way
