Council Training 1:
Introduction to the Way of Council
The first step to learning council practice, Council Training 1 is a 16-hour experiential course on the basic elements, modalities, and forms of council practice. Council Training 1 workshops are offered by Center for Council throughout the year in a variety of locations. All are welcome to attend, whether you're just learning about council or looking for a "refresher."
Council Training 2:
Deepening the Practice
Deepen your practice, explore council’s application in a variety of settings, and focus on how to address challenging situations in council, as well as your own triggers and blind spots. Completion of Council Training 1 and experience facilitating council is required to enroll.
Council Training 3:
Living the Way of Council
Advanced Council Practice Required
This advanced workshop is for experienced practitioners who are ready to more deeply explore the three challenges of becoming a carrier of council: becoming a steward, reading the interactive field, and finding the ability to participate in and witness the process simultaneously. This course explores where the practice of council ends and living council begins.
