Growth and Certified Members have access to 56 Practices across the 12 Tracks with more practices to be released in the future. Growth and Certified Members need to implement 2 new Practices annually to maintain their status.

The 12 TRACKS of The Eden Approach

The Eden Tracks & Practices emerged as the team at The Eden Alternative spent over a year reimagining The Path to Mastery. The 12 distinct Tracks and many Practices were extracted from Path to Mastery Milestones and then combined with other new, innovative approaches shared by Eden Registry Members. 

The Eden Registry is now Eden Membership.
