[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1507023594360{padding-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]An IDL Coach is someone who interviews others using the IDL interviewing formats to help them balance their lives and wake up, both in waking life and while dreaming. A person becomes an IDL Coach by interviewing themselves twice a month and someone else (it can be different people or more than one) twice a month, for six months, gaining experience interviewing both dream characters and the personifications of life issues. They function as a “coach” for their own interviewing subjects and are themselves supervised by another IDL Coach, Practitioner, or Teacher. They use the computer-assisted single element interviewing protocol found at IntegralDeepListening.Com under “Interviewing Formats.” They will learn to apply recommendations of their choice from interviews in their daily lives and help those they coach to do the same, in person, via email, or via video conferencing, such as Skype. Their interviews of themselves and others, which are recorded on the site, is critiqued by email. At the end of six months they receive a certificate as an IDL Coach. There is no charge and no reading is required, in order to make this entry level competency available to as many as possible, however, donations to support the work are welcomed via DreamYoga, PayPal.

An IDL Practitioner is someone who desires a professional or clinical level competency in Integral Deep Listening. They first meet the IDL Coach requirements and receive that certificate. They continue that schedule of interviewing and support of their interviewing subjects while working through a series of texts, chapter by chapter, submitting answers to questions about it and asking questions about the material via email. They complete at least one multiple character interview (Dream Sociometry) for themselves and one with a student every month. This can be in the place of one single character interview for themselves and a subject, keeping the total submitted interviews a month to a minimum of four, two for themselves and two for others. IDL Practitioner candidates can work through the texts at their own speed, continuing the interviewing process (a minimum of two self interviews, two interviews of others per month) while they do. When they have completed working through the texts they will be awarded an IDL Practitioner Certificate. To maintain that certification, they will be required to demonstrate their continued proficiency by accumulating Continuing Education Credits. This can be done by the submission of interviews or the participation in advanced trainings, or both. There is no charge to become an IDL Practitioner, however, donations to support the work are welcomed via DreamYoga, PayPal. IDL Practitioner texts are as follows. While the order is a good one to follow, they may be read and reported on in any order:
