Congratulations on your interest in becoming a Facilitator of the
Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium. 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 sign on for the next training.
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 first residential training. Given that
people prepare and read at different speeds, the trainees so far have
devoted very different amounts of time to preparing themselves.
Basic Training
The Basic Training is designed for those who are eager to learn the
basic elements of putting on a Symposium in a shorter format so that
they can immediately go out and bring Symposiums into existence in
their communities. The Basic 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.
The Basic Training Session is a very full residential weekend. The Columbus, Ohio Training will be held at First Community Church, 3777 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio 43221.
The training will start Saturday September 12th at 9:00 AM, and ends Sunday September 13th at 4:00 PM.
Cost
The total cost of the training is $150. Tuition is $125 and includes
a Training Notebook, nicely printed Symposium Manual & DVDs. Click on the "To Register" link below to register. Meals are $25 which includes Saturday continental breakfast, lunch and dinner and Sunday continental breakfast and lunch. Please make $25 check payable to First Community Church,
