The 2011-12 residential courses are held at the same spectacular beach location as the courses we have run successfully since the beginning of 2010. The venue is composed of typical recovered wood, bamboo and thatch accommodation that offers each participant a private living space with en-suite shower and toilet. Additional facilites include a well stocked library, internet and printing and photocopying facilities. Conditions are basic but the fact that you will be living on a sand dune that is on the Equator and quite literally a stone's throw from the Pacific ocean more than makes up for any lack of creature comfort. 

Course cost is US $2250, accommodation and food included. Payment can be made by electronic check to the Southern Cross account in the United States or by direct deposit in Ecuador.

*Nonresidential courses are offered periodically in Guayaquil and Quito, including the 14-week extensive course in Quito. The course fee for the nonresidential courses is $1667. Southern Cross can arrange accommodation for you on request.

Courses are typically booked several months in advance so please apply early!  You incur no obligation or expense by applying, but it does allow us to hold a place for you on the course you prefer. Once a course is fully inscribed with provisional candidates, we request that a US$550 deposit be paid to confirm intention to enroll. Payment of the remaining balance to confirm enrollment  then becomes due six weeks before the course starts.
