Zoom Integral Deep Listening Practitioner Training Program
Purposes of the Program:
We are all asleep, dreaming, and sleepwalking through life, lost in our familial and socio-cultural scripting. Recognizing that scripting and setting our own life goals is an important first step toward waking up that few make, but it is not enough. What we require is to access authentic emerging potentials that point us toward our unique life compass so that we can align our priorities with those that are expressing themselves through our dreams and are pushing to be born within us. Beyond this, through service to others we create a like-minded support system while transforming global scripting and worldviews to reflect the priorities of the emerging potentials and life compass of humanity as a whole.
Integral Deep Listening is a variety of transpersonal dream yoga, meaning that it is a discipline that combines
work, learning, and fun,
empathy/acceptance, wisdom/witnessing, and confidence/inner peace,
healing, balancing, and transformation,
Aliveness/detachment, balancing/clarity, and wakefulness/freedom,
luminosity, cosmic humor, and abundance.
Work involves effort, discipline, persistence, patience.
Learning involves study, homework, and demonstration of competencies.
Fun involves trusting absurdity, surrendering control, scripting, and social expectations, being stupid, practicing cosmic humor, non-personalization, and multi-perspectivalism.
Structure of the Program:
Each Level will consist of three modules, each of which has six sessions, one every other week per module, for twelve weeks, times 3 is 36 weeks or some nine months to complete a level. Students sign up for one six-week, every other week module at a time, thereby providing them with flexibility about when and if they wish to continue. I will schedule a Level when I have six participants, with cut-off at 12, ensuring small group dynamics and personal attention.
Because advance of group to next level is dependent on at least six participants graduating, one should not register unless they are committed to finishing the level, consisting of three twelve week modules.
Homework includes watching subject-related videos, readings, self-interviews, interviewing others, application of recommendations, creation of accountability structures; and supervising the application of interview recommendations given to a partner.
Cost:
Six session two-hour zoom modules; every two weeks; twelve weeks total; 24 hours total;
$30.00 per session x 6 = $ 180.00 per module. Total investment in each level is $ 540.00.
For perspective, a usual 50 minute hourly rate is $100.00. Each six session module is payable in advance via PayPal.
For each person which you introduce to the training program via IDL salons and who chooses to join the Practitioner Training Program (Module 1, Level 1), you will receive a $100.00 deduction from the cost of future six session modules $80.00 instead of $180.00).
