Yes, there is a 6 day in-person training followed by 6 live group training and supervision sessions via Zoom – one session per month for 6 months. The in-person trainings take place annually in London, Switzerland (Ticino, Lake Maggiore), or on request in Cape Town.

Yes, experiencing and discovering how to facilitate Open Awareness forms the first 2 days of the in-person training. Over these 2 days you will learn how to expand your level of awareness, bring about more flow in life, activate your inner healer and establish mindful resilience. It includes many mind expanding experiences during the plentiful demonstrations, exercises, group interactions and discussions.

The course is thorough and accommodates all aspects and styles of learning and discovery. There is engagement with models and theory, as well as some assignments that involve writing, but the focus is on plentiful demonstrations, exercises, group interactions and discussions.

Yes, ASE is trauma-informed and you will learn not only how to identify the markers of trauma, but also how to approach trauma sensitively and constructively when it presents.

Regarding trauma, ASE draws from the work of Bessel van der Kolk (treating trauma), Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems), Gabor Maté (healing the root of trauma), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), Thomas Hübl (healing collective trauma), Deb Dana (Polyvagal Theory and trauma), Daniel Siegel (Interpersonal Neurobiology), as well as knowledge from healing practices in the field of transpersonal psychology, such as applied mindfulness, breathwork and psychedelic assisted therapies.

Since our unique form of coaching utilizes transpersonal states and perspectives, these coaching processes frequently enter the grey zone – where therapy and coaching intersect. We train our coaches to hold this liminal space with care, compassion and open awareness. In so doing, the root causes of clients’ issues may be unveiled, including deep wounds and trauma, if that exists for the client.

Traditional forms of coaching steer away from confronting those underlying issues, sometimes leaving the client feeling fragmented and confused, but we in transpersonal coaching recognize that these phenomena cannot be ignored and that it’s not always appropriate for the coach to immediately refer a client to a therapist that the client is not familiar with, when they have entrusted the coach to help them. In these cases, compassionate support and guidance for integration are crucial, and this is one of the hallmarks of our transpersonal coaching approach.

Transpersonal coaches also know their limits in terms of professional expertise and they are able to identify if the client should be referred for more clinical care.

The ASE approach draws on Jungian concepts and practices. For example, we make use of ‘active imagination’ techniques in various ASE methods, which includes the transpersonal coaching model. Jungian Archetypal work is a common discussion point and we provide several recorded training sessions and articles covering this topic. Parts work is another important component of ASE which we look at from a Jungian perspective, and so too is our understanding of synchronicities Jungian informed.

Some of the holistic applications of NLP, especially those that are applicable in coaching and therapy, inform aspects of the ASE methodology. Over the years, as the ASE approach has evolved, NLP has become less relevant and applied open awareness (OA) has emerged as the fundamental means that ASE Facilitators use to hold the transformative space for clients.

Our ASE approach is very pragmatic and does not include any concepts or processes that are too far out for any individuals to follow and make sense of. On the other hand, for clients who are spiritually inclined, our approach can meet them where they are and help them to go further or to embody their spiritual experiences more fully, depending on the client’s desired outcome. Our approach is client-and-process centred. It fits as well in the executive boardroom as it does in all coaching contexts, and can be facilitated via phone or online media.

The in-person component takes place annually in London, Switzerland (Ticino, Lake Maggiore) and on request in Cape Town.
