Facilitator Training in Bali

4th-14th April 2027. Northern Bali, Indonesia

The path to facilitation

Those who have completed Stage 1 will be eligible to attend the Awaken as Love facilitators training – which will give you direct practice and feedback in teaching the structures of the Stage 1 initiation – this includes all the important details to mention, music and PDFs with the structures. Group evaluation and video feedback will be used to help bring out your inner guide.

On completion of this you will be taken on as an apprentice to the Awaken as Love faculty where you will be added to the Awaken as Love website as part of the expanding team.

As an apprentice you will be able co-teach the Awaken as Love Stage 1 process with a Lead Facilitator who would help guide you in your first facilitating role. To become full faculty you need to have co-taught once for Stage 1. To co-teach stage 2, you need to have completed Stage 1 & 2 and also a Vision Quest (as well as the facilitator training)

What you will give to this training?

Yes, you heard it right! This is now about what you can give – you’re on the verge of a new identity – that of facilitator. As such, this training is about helping that part of you emerge and share your gifts. We will be spending a considerable amount of time with the new teachers holding the space and receiving gentle guidance from the Didactic (already established) teachers.

Phoenix Project

One of the best ways to grow as a facilitator and sovereign being is by putting oneself out there. The Phoenix Project is creation of a unique project that adds to Awaken as Love and humanity – can range from a thesis outlining one area of AAL in detail to designing AAL Merchandise.

Practising structures

In a team you will be involved in holding 2 of the main structures of Stage 1 for the rest of the group.The best way to learn is by doing, it is the acid test of your inner spaceholder. Feedback, tips and guidance will be offered by the 4 didactic teachers afterwards.

Presenting the talks

You will have a chance to practice giving some of the talks from Awaken as Love. This will be done in smaller breakaway groups held by one facilitator. There will be time for questions and group discussion on each of the topics afterwards.

Morning practices

As well as the stuctures from Awaken as Love, you will have the chance to bring your passions, skills and creativity to a 1 hour morning practice that you design and share with the group.

DJ skills

New teachers will be taking turns to hold the morning dance set and some guidance will be given about how to use sound systems, DJ programs and creating dance sets.

Workshop Design

You will be asked to create a 2-3 hour workshop including music that outlines a theme, gives both theory & practical tools/embodied experience – this could be offered at festivals in the future.
