Council II: Deepening the Practice

Service Description

The 16-hour course is held over a weekend in person or over 8-weeks in two hour sessions. Explore further paths to wholeness and compassionate rapport with those with whom we live and work, and whom we love. We will discover the gifts to be harvested from embracing our 'shadow,' when we allow ourselves to open, to get out of our 'comfort zone' and, ultimately, to get out of our own way. Then our soul and the soul of the circle come alive. When powerful energies are released, the challenge for the facilitator is how to serve the circle so the process remains safe and nurturing. When this occurs, magic happens. We will explore specific forms of council for varied situations. We will explore the subtleties in the roles of facilitator and witness and reading the field. We will also have fun with exercises, games and other practices that contribute to the process. This course is designed for those who have taken Council I and have a year of practice facilitating this or other forms of circle work. Payment Policy: Payment is due at the time of the program unless otherwise agreed upon. I accept cash, cheque and e-transfer. For clients outside of Canada, you can utilize PayPal.

Cancellation Policy

Temporary Cancellation Policy Related to COVID-19 Pandemic: Please note that due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, I am temporarily suspending my cancellation policy to include cancellations of less than 24 hours for any reason related to COVID-19, which make it not possible for you to continue with your appointment. If you are able to provide 24+ hours notice it is deeply appreciated, as this potentially allows for your appointment spot to be filled by someone on the waiting list, in need of an appointment. My regular cancellation and missed appointment policy, including for illness-related cancellations, will resume once COVID-19 is declared by health authorities to be in a post-pandemic phase. Your appointment is for your exclusive use and when it is cancelled with short notice, or missed altogether, it is often too late or impossible to offer this time to someone else and the appointment time goes unfilled. I understands that cancellations may feel awkward, but very much appreciates a cancellation over a no-show. A full 24 hours notice is required for cancelling appointments. Clients may contact me directly by phone or email to cancel. If you cancel with less than 24 hours before your appointment time, you will be billed for 50% of the cost of your appointment. If you cancel with less than 12 hours before your appointment time, you will be billed for 75% of the cost of your appointment. Clients who fail to show up for a scheduled appointment (“no show”) are billed for the full cost of their scheduled session. There is a range of valid reasons for cancelling an appointment. In order to be consistent with all clients, cancellation fees will only be waived in the event of a medical emergency requiring urgent professional treatment, a death in the family or a natural disaster. If you have purchased a prepaid counselling package and you cancel one of your prepaid sessions with less than 24 hours, or miss the session, this session counts as having been used.
