It is not automatic that you will be able to facilitate the voice dialogue, or Big Mind processes after this program.  Some people will indeed be able to facilitate these methods, while others may need more time and further practice for their facilitation skills to mature.

With approval, mentoring, and continued support of Miles, you will be able to:

• Offer facilitation to individuals in the voice dialogue and Big Mind process.
• Lead group facilitation process in in such areas as; conflict resolution, team building, multiple stake holder perspective taking, mediation, collective intelligence harvesting, visioning, and creative problem solving.
• For those already in engaged professionally in personal development (teachers, coaches, therapists, counselors, yoga instructors, massage therapists, etc.), you can begin to add the “Voice Dialogue” and ”Big Mind” work to you suit of service offerings.
• As opportunities grow, you may qualify for a position as an “Integral Dojo Coach” in Miles future online training programs. 

Facilitators all say that doing this compassion practice has brought great meaning to their lives. When they talk about their experience as a Facilitator, their joy is palpable. 

Finally, the benefits of this training will continue to bare fruit for you by keeping on top of your own personal practice.

• Have extensively worked closely with Miles in the Integral Dojo - Tel Aviv (as Uchi Deshi, or Soto Deshi).
• Have attended one or more meditation retreat w/ Miles. 

Past Practice Requirements: In order to support your facilitation training process, you must have an established practice foundation. Such a foundation may include: 

• A commitment to a consistent personal integral life practice (Aikido, meditation, yoga, mindfulness, NVC, etc.).
• Therapeutic experience, including 1, or more of the following examples; 1-on-1 work with a therapist, have belonged to a support group (ex. 12 step program), attended therapy oriented workshops.

• The humility of a Path Practitioner. This is a low-ego approach that is always willing to submit to a higher divine guidance, and avoid a superiority persona.
• Willingness to develop the ability to speak publicly in a confident, compassionate, articulate and approachable manner, and to build trust with participants (if you are nervous speaking in front of a group, this will help you gain your confidence).

• Being truly open to feedback from facilitators and peers for continuous improvement, and keeping ego in check.
• Strong commitment to complete the course in full. This includes committing to the group by showing up to all sessions, keeping your daily personal practice schedule, keep your learning pod dates, and completing all assignments.

It is not expected that you will be a voice dialogue, or Big Mind facilitation expert after this program. Expertise come with appropriate training and depth of experience, which takes time. But committing to the program and in turn sharing your skills for the benefit of others is the path towards facilitation mastery. At the completion of this course, you will be on that path.

I encourage you to contact me about your eligibility if you are unsure. I will be happy to suggest ways to build your minimum skill set in order to enroll in this program. 

No. This is not a certification program. You are free to use the Big Mind method with the individuals and groups you work with, and you can say it is part of methodologies that you use. But you cannot claim to be a certified "Big Mind" facilitator.

The Big Mind© method is a copyrighted trademark of Genpo Roshi. Miles Kessler has trained directly with Genpo Roshi, and his Big Mind successor Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi in the Big Mind method. He has been given permission by both of them to use the Big Mind method with his students, and in his training programs.

This program is not part of the "Big Mind School." Miles Kessler and the Integral Dojo neither have permission to certify others in this process, nor do they have any intention to do so. 

As someone who has been through one or more trainings with The Integral Dojo, you already know the value of training with Miles.This program is not open to the public. 

Further more, you have been selected as someone with the required experience and potential for this course. 

For these reasons, unlike our entry level trainings, once this training program begins there will be no refunds.
