Who Will Benefit from the Advanced Skills Training: Life and wellness coaches, Wellness Oriented Health Professionals, Social Workers, Therapists, Group Facilitators, Teachers, Youth Leaders or Any Professional who wants more skills and tools to effectively empower people in making positive change.

Expand your coaching/facilitation skills repertoire with cutting edge approaches gleaned from ancient secrets of transformation and contemporary scientific research results.
One of the best features of attending the training at the beautiful Santa Barbara Mission Renewal Center, is that it provides you with an exceptional opportunity for deepening your connection with yourself.
 
You will be supported by two seasoned (25 years), compassionate, successful Coaches / Trainers, Rebecca McLean and Maya Shaw Gale, along with the power and wisdom of the participants in the Circle.   Create breakthrough, balance, and deep fulfillment in any area of your life and the lives of your clients.

You will learn to apply the following skill sets for both individual and group coaching, for in person/ retreats and phone sessions:


  • Use 5 Universal Principles to develop a “partnership approach” to empowering your clients.
  • Cultivate your own Presence as a powerful transformational tool that will have a more positive impact on clients than any technique or method.
  • Assist clients in making a paradigm shift to a more Intuitive Body and Soul-Centered approach to accessing their innate intelligence and life purpose.
  • Create “laser beam” questions that take clients out of their stories and conditioning and into illuminating their authentic wisdom.
  • Help clients identify, “befriend” and transform resistance to change.
  • Acquire a set of “Mind/Body Prescriptions” Self-Care practices that support breakthroughs in meeting health and life goals.
  • Use approaches from Positive Psychology, HeartMath and Quantum Physics to help clients to build on their strengths and create change through the power of intent and magnetism rather than effort and struggle.
  • Nature's Mastery Mandala™ based on the  Medicine Wheel and Nature's own cycles of seasons and growth: From inspiration to final completion, you will explore the steps that lead to successful manifestation of dreams, goals and creative projects.  Map out your points of power  and where you tend to repeatedly meet obstacles. Using the Nature’s Mastery Mandala™, discover “nature's medicine” for living an abundantly creative life of ease, health, balance and harmony.
