Congratulations on your interest in becoming a Facilitator of the Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium. The entire process of becoming a Facilitator is a rich, focused, challenging and, hopefully, deeply rewarding journey and learning experience. We heartily invite you to jump in and sign on for the next training.

Below are some of the specific aspects of the training program that you may want to know about as you consider becoming a Facilitator.

The Preparation Period begins as soon as you register for the Training, and immerses you in some of the information and concepts that form the heart of the Awakening the Dreamer Symposium. During this time, you will read some of the materials that inspired the Symposium, do some research and investigation, and re-examine your own Daily Practices—among other activities.

Your registration, and your Preparation Period, can begin whenever you are ready, as long as there is enough time remaining to complete the assignments before the first training. Given that people prepare and read at different speeds, the trainees so far have devoted very different amounts of time to preparing themselves.

Basic Training

The Basic Training is designed for those who are eager to learn the basic elements of putting on a Symposium in a shorter format so that they can immediately go out and bring Symposiums into existence in their communities. The Basic Training is followed by a period of learning additional practical information and skills under the guidance of a mentor who is a trained facilitator, or with a team of people in a local community group.

The Basic Training Session is a very full non-residential weekend. This Boulder, Colorado Rocky Mountain Training will be held at a private home at 470 Fountain Tree Lane, Boulder Colorado.

The training will start Saturday, January 9, 2010 at 9:00 a.m., and ends January 10, 2010 at 4:00 PM.  

The total cost of the training is $140. Tuition is $140 and includes a Training Notebook, nicely printed Symposium Manual & DVDs. You can register for tuition above online.  Breakfast and lunch are not included.  Please bring your own bag lunch both days.   A light community dinner will be provided on Saturday night.  Because we added the dinner after we posted the price on here, we cannot update the registration price. Therefore, we will ask participants for a $10 contribution for the dinner at the training.

Scholarships on a sliding-scale basis are available upon request for individuals who need financial assistance.  Please email requests for scholarship applications to Christine Gust at clgust@christinegust.com.
