Trainees are encouraged to complete the pre-training reading, as a foundation for our first weekend together.
There will also be a list of required books to purchase by the start of training to supplement and prepare trainees for more in-depth conversations from weekend to weekend. This reading will be listed on your welcome letter, once you register for the program.
As for homework between sessions, this may look like reading that aligns with that weekend’s subject, self-inquiry or journaling prompts, and sequence or playlist creation. Group work will also be encouraged, as this helps you stay accountable with your work, and also grow your connections with your fellow trainees. We know everyone’s plate is very full and life is quite busy, so the facilitators aim will be to keep all homework and additional assignments to no more than an hour or so per week.
