Congratulations on your interest in becoming a Facilitator of the Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium!

An Awakening the Dreamer faciliitator training will take place in Novato, California February 6-7, 2010

This training will be the first offered in northern California for the new global edition of the symposium--which has incorporated feedback from facilitators around the world to powerfully enhance the symposium's ability to catalyze change.

The training begins with a full day Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and concludes by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, the 7th.

The entire process of becoming a Facilitator is a rich, focused, challenging and, hopefully, deeply rewarding journey and learning experience. We heartily invite you to jump in and join us. Below are some of the specific aspects of the training program that you may want to know about as you consider becoming a Facilitator.

Preparation Period

The Preparation Period begins as soon as you register for the Training, and immerses you in some of the information and concepts that form the heart of the Awakening the Dreamer Symposium. During this time, you will read some of the materials that inspired the Symposium, do some research and investigation, and re-examine your own Daily Practices—among other activities.

Your registration, and your Preparation Period, can begin whenever you are ready, as long as there is enough time remaining to complete the assignments before the training. Given that people prepare and read at different speeds, the trainees so far have devoted very different amounts of time to preparing themselves.

Training

The Training is designed for those who are eager to learn the basic elements of putting on a Symposium so that they can immediately go out and bring Symposiums into existence in their communities. The Training is followed by a period of learning additional practical information and skills under the guidance of a mentor who is a trained facilitator, or with a team of people in a local community group.

Cost

The total cost of the training  is $170: Tuition is $150 and includes a Training Notebook, printed Symposium Manual & DVDs; and the cost of meals is $20 for the weekend and will include lunch both days and dinner Saturday night.

Scholarships on a sliding-scale basis are available upon request for individuals who need financial assistance.  Please email requests for scholarship applications to Mary E. Chase maryechase@comcast.net
