The Trainings

Vision Mountain is presently offering two types of extended programs: Spontaneous Living, and the Life Coach Training.

Spontaneous Living Retreat
These events of one week to ten days duration are designed to support you in doing exactly what you want to do in your life on a moment by moment basis. Surprisingly, few of us really know what we want to do; most of what we think we want is an escape from where we are now. We create fantasies of what we would rather be doing to avoid the discomfort of facing what is actually in front of us in the moment.

The Spontaneous Living Retreat is an opportunity to experiment with your intuition and follow your natural inclination to encounter surprising, fun, and creative life experiences. Along with these opportunities to explore your unlimited possibilities, you will also have the opportunity to engage in workshop processes and exercises that are created to support you in using simple tools to expand your awareness of who YOU really are, what your True Purpose is, and how you can have what you really want.

The Life Coach Training

The Life Coach Training is an experiential education in group facilitation and one-to-one coaching. The program includes:
  • Three seven-day trainings, taught over a period of six to eight months
  • Student manuals to be studied at home between trainings
  • 50 hours of one-on-one practicum work.
  • Review of practicum by supervisor
  • Guidance and coaching given during and after the completion of the trainings as the student takes the first steps toward this dynamic career   of conducting personal sessions, groups and workshops.
  • Final written and/or oral exams.

Why would you choose the Vision Mountain LCT program?

 

  • You thrive on dynamic interaction with the instructor and fellow students.
  • Your learning style is not suited to formal classroom-style education; you are the type of person that learns better in an experiential environmentYou are already, or wish to become, a self-motivated, entrepreneurial, free-spirited individual who loves to share your natural talents with other human beings.
  • You want the highest quality instruction and supervision in workshop facilitation and personal coaching skills.
  • You want experienced guidance while taking your first steps in developing the business side of your helping service profession.
  • You want the opportunity to join fellow trainees who can support each other through the process of becoming professional coaches and facilitators.
  • You want the learning process to be interesting, stimulating, and FUN!
  • You have already awakened to who you are, or are in the process of doing so, and want to share the awakening process with others.

 

The three phases of the LCT include:

  • Advanced methods in process/life coaching and group facilitation.
  • Developing communication skills that can cut through client confusion and bring them to the heart of their issues.
  • Introduction to the model of the two stages of the Human Journey (or Human Game)
  • Education in group dynamics and how to respond to group process.
  • Supervised practice in individual coaching and group work
  • Identifying client processes and guiding / supporting them in the reclaiming of their True Power.
  • Public speaking skills.
  • Effective approaches to relationship coaching.
  • Education in the principles of personal accountability.
  • The uses of "stretches" and psycho-drama.
  • Business development approaches.
  • And much more.

You will also study with a team of students who share a passion for this type of work. Between phases you will be able to remain in contact with your fellow students directly, through e-mail or phone, and consult with each other or a supervisor regarding homework assignments and progress in your practicum. There is also time allotted for personal coaching sessions with your assigned supervisor or with the chief supervisor. This program has been designed by Christopher Moon, who presently facilitates all the trainings. Other instructors may be invited in from time to time.

Between phases you will be expected to complete some practice sessions with clients. By the end of the training you will have been given a comprehensive view of all that is involved in developing your profession as a coach and group facilitator.
