The purpose of this one-year training is to deepen the capacity of participants to effectively counsel others through a dynamic, intuitively structured approach that creatively and effectively integrates body, mind, emotion, and spirit.

To this end, the training will blend deep work on oneself and equally deep work with others, in personal, social, and spiritual contexts.

You’ll learn to not rely upon nor necessarily impose structure, but rather to let it naturally arise from your relationship and interaction with those you are counseling. Working this way weans us from the security — the eventually deadening security — of operating from behind a preset methodology or structure, leaving us in a position that requires an appropriately creative response from us. Such creativity keeps us fresh, open, and alert. 

Throughout the training we will be working with body, mind, emotion, and spirit. Love, integrity, and presence will be the cornerstones of our practice.

The Practicum is not just for therapists who want to learn a more intuitive, integral, and bodywork-including approach to their practice, nor just for those who are wanting to work in the counseling field, but also for those who want to participate with kindred spirits in a year of exceptionally deep and transformative personal work, during which they will learn skills that will serve them in every area of their life.

Graduates of previous practicums have not only found themselves at home with new skills (sufficient enough to begin working as an integrally-oriented counselor), but have also done work of such depth — and not just a few times, but many times  — during the practicum that they invariably emerge more grounded, open, intuitive, and confident about both themselves and their ability to effectively guide others.

Much of the depth and quality of the work done has to do with being with a group of individuals who are all deeply committed to their own healing and awakening. In such an environment, there is not only more than enough safety and trust, but also a rare intimacy, generated by sharing such deep work both as a participant and as a counselor-to-be.

LOCATION & STRUCTURE:

Practicums are currently being offered in Canada, the USA, and the UK. The USA Practicum will take place over 5 four-day modules in the USA; the UK Practicum will take place over 4 five-day modules in the UK (and possibly also Spain); and the Canada Practicum will take place over 6 three-day modules in Canada.

Homework (mostly in the form of practice sessions) will be given at the end of each module. The dates for a particular Practicum will be set once we have 12 committed participants for it.

Each module will include individual and group work, plus facilitation by participants of each other’s work (with fitting feedback and guidance from Robert).

After the training concludes, participants who have attended it in its entirety will receive a diploma indicating that they have completed a one-year training in Masters Integral Psychotherapy with Robert Augustus Masters.
