Council Training 2: Deepening the Practice of Council workshops offer a powerful opportunity to deepen your Council practice and explore the more complex contours of the work. This training is an intermediate training. The first requirement is that you have taken a Council Training 1: Introduction to the Way of Council workshop and have been facilitating council. It is important to have direct experience with the inspiring, and sometimes challenging, situations that arise – including encountering resistance, conflict and "The Shadow." As a participant, you may also begin looking at some personal obstacles and "blind spots" that have shown up in your development as a council practitioner, as well as the need for greater fluency in self-regulation and grounding, for yourself and in your work with groups. The Council Training 2 workshop delves into the different formats of council suited for a variety of situations. This workshop offers a chance to develop more facility with "Reading the Interactive Field" and learning to invite "The Witness" perspective. One of the primary intentions of Council Training 2 is to support you as move out of your comfort zones, “Turn Into The Skid,” learning how to navigate and best serve the circle, and maintain the safety and containment. Center for Council requires that those interested submit a brief application and "letter of intention" to complete their registration for this workshop, reflecting on their experiences with council to date and what may be stirring for them as they approach this opportunity to "deepen the practice of council." This reflection serves to create some context for the participants, as well as the workshop trainers, and helps establish intention for the journey of Council Training 2. IMPORTANT DETAIL: Council Training 2 requires completion of a Council Training 1 and that a Letter of Intent be approved prior to registration. Please submit your Letter of Intent. When you are approved, you will be given a code to access registration. Additional Details Lunch, coffee, and snacks are included. Overnight accommodations is not included.

"Witnessing the impact of council on someone's life, and watching it become a vehicle for them to flourish in life, personally and professionally, just affirmed my belief in council as an effective tool for servicing our human family at this time." - previous Council Training 2 participant
