- Who is The Solas Guide for?
- Anyone with active client-facing practice in Bali can apply. Your experience, credentials and training are assessed and verified as part of the process. That determines how you are recognised and listed.
- Why a $200 application fee?
- The fee funds the independence of the process. It covers the gate review, referee contact, credential verification, and the panel interview. It is non-refundable because it is paid for the assessment work, not for a listing.
- What is the difference between Pathway A and Pathway B?
- Pathway A is for practitioners with named international accreditation — ICF, EMDR Europe, Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500+, IFS, BACP, APS, UKCP, or equivalent. Pathway B is for practitioners whose qualifications are rooted in a documented lineage or traditional training, reviewed by a tradition-knowledgeable panel member.
- When does Vol. I launch?
- Vol. I is open for applications now. The first register of recognised practitioners is published in Q4 2026.
- What happens after I am recognised?
- For the founding cohort, year one listing is free. From year two, an annual membership of $500 applies. This will remain the same as long as you renew.
