Update for 2026: 

This year Dr. Laury Rappaport will be on sabbatical from teaching intensive FOAT® trainings at the FOAT Institute. She will continue to oversee the FOAT Institute and its various offerings, and explore ways to bring in support for scholarships and research.  Focusing/FOAT teaches us the value of the “pause”... to allow a space to open… and allow the body creative wisdom to unfold. While Dr. Laury Rappaport is on sabbatical from teaching the Levels 1-4 trainings, we will be revising and updating the FOAT® Training Program to reflect this expansion to “Approved FOAT® Trainings” (information coming soon) and aligned with IEATA’s updated REAT/REACE requirements.
