Facilitator Training in Poland

10th-20th June 2024. Ośrodek Rozwojow, near Warsaw, Poland

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 will you 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.
