The Trainings

Vision Mountain is presently offering two types of training: The Training for Visionary Leaders Phases 1 - 3, and the Life Coach Training.

The Training for Visionary Leaders:

Intensive in nature and experiential in approach, these longer courses (which can be anywhere from one to two weeks in duration) reach deep within to access the visionary leader inside each of us. The intent of the course is to empower participants to live as creative, confident examples of leadership, inspiration, and enormous giftedness, which is the birthright of all human beings. Through Phase 1,2, and 3, these trainings seek to give you a complete experiential education in transpersonal development. They do not lay out a specific philosophy for you to follow, but include with the Vision Mountain paradigms, many various models, allowing you to discern for yourself what works best for your own individual path.

The three phases offer a thorough experiential study of the subconscious, unconscious, and higher minds, and the human soul. In the trainings you not only get to understand these subjects as they are delivered in simple, easy terms; you also get the chance to consciously experience these levels of the mind, thus affording you the opportunity to perceive your true nature in all its marvellous aspects. The ultimate goal of the Training for Visionary Leaders is to assist in your birth as a visionary and a brilliant example of what is possible for all human beings.

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, in order to briefly present their expertise in a certain area of process work.
