The Art of Engaged Mindfulness:
Settling the Mind for Intuition to Emerge
This class is designed to help student coaches, credentialed coaches, psychotherapists, and other professionals explore and utilize mindfulness in their personal and professional lives. We explore traditional and hybrid meditation, mindfulness, and loving-kindness instruction.
Prior experience with meditation or mindfulness is not a prerequisite. If you are a seasoned practitioner, bring your Beginner’s Mind!
Learning Objectives
• Develop techniques to awaken & stabilize your deepest wisdom in the midst of our ever-changing world
• Customize and cultivate your own Meditation and Mindfulness Practices for your Coaching Toolbox
• Learn antidotes to burnout, compassion fatigue, and negative self-talk
• Develop confidence in offering these techniques to clients, while utilizing engaged mindfulness during the coaching session
You are your oldest and dearest friend.

Group Coaching:
Unleashing the Transformative Potential of Community
Group coaching is a powerful format that weaves coaching with a supportive and inspiring community experience. As the coach, your ability to both guide the change process and hold space for authentic peer connection is key. What makes for a truly transformative group experience versus one that feels forced? When do you lead and when do you get out of the way? How do you provide a nurturing, inclusive space, navigate group conflict, and create conditions for meaningful growth?
This class is designed to help student coaches and credentialed coaches learn to:
- Facilitate group processes that complement and amplify the coaching relationship,
- Foster ownership, self-agency, insight, and action among coaching members,
- Nurture a welcoming, inclusive learning environment, and
- Develop group connection and mutuality.
Learning Objectives
- Explore your roles as a convener, host, leader, and coach in a group coaching context.
- Learn and practice participatory facilitation methods that complement coaching and enrich the group experience.
- Examine diversity, equity and inclusion as related to group dynamics; learn to foster a welcoming, safe, and honest group environment.
- Explore the design of group learning experiences, considering group member archetypes, the principles of adult education, and living system design.
- Identify and develop a group coaching program you would like to host.
