INSTRUCTOR TRAINING (PRACTITIONER)

This comprehensive course is for those ready to become certified practitioners and instructors. Entry requires the successful completion of foundational classroom instruction hours and extensive reading assignments to ensure a strong grounding in core principles.

The curriculum is structured around a powerful blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, featuring mandatory study in:

PHILOSOPHY AND THEORY: Building a deep understanding of New Thought concepts, the power of your word, treatment, meditation, and prosperous living.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Focusing on how these principles translate into real-world success in areas like financial freedom, healthy relationships, self-esteem, and personal healing.
READING REQUIREMENTS: Foundational texts by seminal authors in the New Thought movement and spiritual philosophy.

The training then advances through six in-depth MODULES:

MODULE 1: Integrity, exploring individual creation, cause and effect, and the influence of early and subjective influences, including sexuality and addictions.
MODULE 2: Mastering the creative process, choosing spiritual principles, and harnessing the power of prayer, faith, love, and oneness for creative success.
MODULE 3: Broadening consciousness to religious diversity, the sacredness of life, and practical ways of living in the light, freedom, and trust through inevitable change.
MODULE 4: Dedicated to the essentials of counselling.
MODULE 5: Developing the consciousness that heals, including detailed exploration of healing concerns and case histories related to health, prosperity, relationships, and major life events.
MODULE 6: Focusing on ethics and the practitioner’s consciousness, visioning for individual goals, and achieving success through review and practical application.
