Days can be long, with training sessions usually taking place from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, with two short breaks (one mid-morning, the other mid-afternoon) and a one-hour lunch break. Training session days begin in the morning and end on a contemplative note in the afternoon with a few minutes spent quietly writing in a process journal.

On days set aside for lesson planning and teaching practices, a staff member is available during center hours to provide assistance and answer questions. Occasionally, trainees are required to be available during evening hours for demo lesson observations and teaching practices. These normally end around 8:30 pm and sometimes much earlier.
