Embodied Awareness Facilitator Certification

EMBODIED AWARENESS CERTIFICATION

2011 – 2013
Facilitator Training & Certification Program
Embodied Awareness For Individual and Community Renewal
Click here for Course Description

Embodiment is a state of being fully present and feeling fully alive.

Embodied Awareness is the practice of coming to know yourself and to integrate the wisdom that is transmitted to you via your senses, emotions, thoughts and expanded intuitive perceptions. These inner resources operate as vital guides to action, to bring you fully present within yourself, with others, your environment and our ecosphere.

The course will teach you how to empty yourself of ordinary consciousness to become an instrument for universal healing energies, and to have this expanded awareness guide your own and others’ healing.   Step-by-step facilitator training in inner-work, inter-personal work and world-work show you how to enter and gently exit this state by blending with and embodying expanded awareness as a way to heal the ‘raw wound’ of isolation that we all feel and carry around with us, and to awaken to greater joy-in-life.

This year-long program provides training, support, and supervision to those wishing to incorporate embodied awareness skills combined with group  leadership and community facilitation skills into their occupation or to facilitate individuals, groups, communities, or institutions in Embodied Awareness Practices.  Transcripts for 100 Units of Continuing Education provided by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
