NARM™ COHORT 2027-2028

The training comprises 120 in-person hours, delivered over four five-day modules. It will be conducted in English with no consecutive interpretation.

The in-person format supports deep relational experience and close connection with other participants, which is essential for embodying the NARM® approach in clinical practice.

The training combines theoretical learning and practical application, including lectures, small group work, experiential exercises, and supervision. Participants will also have opportunities to attend live demonstration sessions conducted by the lead trainer, allowing them to observe practical applications of the NARM® model.

Six-month breaks between modules provide time for integration and personal practice. Between modules, participants can join online peer learning groups, supervision sessions, and access demonstration materials.

All modules include a combination of 2 complementary instruction approaches:

1.Didactic and theoretical learning: including lecture, question and answer periods, class-wide discussion, case consultation, and deconstruction of live-demonstrations and videos. 

This training presents highly advanced psychological learning that involves complex, often evocative and transformative material on trauma.

2.Experiential learning: including self-inquiry exercises, small group activities, role-plays, active coaching and guided skill practice.

This training presents an opportunity for clinical development based on direct personal experience that involves complex, often evocative and transformative material on trauma.

How to get here?

• R. Arcediago Van Zeller, 50 | 4050-621 - Porto - PORTUGAL

Getting from Porto Airport to Vilar Oporto Hotel is actually quite easy — you have a few good options depending on budget and convenience:

🚖 1. Taxi / Uber (fastest & easiest)

• ⏱️ ~10–15 minutes
• 💰 ~€12–€15
• 🚪 Door-to-door

Taxis are available 24/7 at the airport, or you can use Uber/Bolt. This is the simplest option, especially with luggage.

🚌 2. Direct Bus (best budget + simple)

• 🚌 Line 601 (direct)
• ⏱️ ~28–32 minutes
• 💰 ~€3
• 📍 Stop near the hotel (Palácio area)

Buses run roughly every 30 minutes and go directly from the airport to near the hotel — no transfers needed.

👉 This is the best balance between cost and convenience.

🚇 3. Metro (cheapest, but requires a short taxi/walk)

• 🚇 Line E (purple) from airport
• ⏱️ ~35–40 minutes total
• 💰 ~€2–€3

Route:

1. Take Metro Line E from the airport
2. Get off at Casa da Música
3. Then take a short taxi (5–10 min) or bus to the hotel

The metro runs every 20–30 minutes and connects easily to the city.

🚶 4. Walking (only if very close)

Some sources suggest the hotel area is quite near the airport zone, but realistically with luggage this is not recommended, even if technically possible in certain cases.
