THE DIANA COOPER SCHOOL
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE TEACHER TRAINING
I am delighted that this special Teacher Training Programme is coming to Dublin in September.
Transform your Life is based on two of Diana Cooper’s books – Transform Your Life and A Little Light on the Spiritual Laws. Together they form the basis of this amazing personal and spiritual development programme.
Elizabeth Ann Morris, founder of the training programme with Diana Cooper, will be coming over from Scotland to present the course with me.
This is a very exciting opportunity as it qualifies you to support and guide people on their personal and spiritual development journeys, through one-to-one coaching or group work, and can be taken into many settings such as schools and business.
Please take your time to look through the course prospectus below, and if you have any questions, please email me at mildred@mildredryan.com, or telephone 01 – 4935035.
Wishing you lots of Love, Joy and Blessings on your journey.
Mildred
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
TEACHER TRAINING PROSPECTUS
Do you feel inspired to help others on their pathway?
Are you a natural teacher or workshop leader who wants to work holistically with people and guide them in fulfilling their soul’s purpose?
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE - BACKGROUND AND PHILOSOPHY
Transform your Life is based on 2 of Diana Cooper’s books, Transform your Life and a Little Light on the Spiritual Laws. Together they form the basis of this amazing personal and spiritual development programme.
Everything we experience in life is a gift for learning. When we understand, accept and work with this “gift” we can let go of conflict and struggle and start living in love, light and harmony.
As we do this our future becomes filled with hope and inspiration – a future where anything is possible – this is the true power of transformation.
Transform your Life is an experiential rather than an academic programme; it is the difference between reading and understanding the theory of “how to do things” and taking the steps to embark on a personal journey of reflection and healing.
COURSE AIM
The Diana Cooper School Teacher Training Programme will empower you to develop and run your own Transformational Workshops and one to one support sessions.
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE
Ideally Transform your Life Teachers will have comprehensive experience of workshop facilitation or have a background in counselling or healing work. However it is also important
to honour and recognise the potential within people; therefore all applications will be considered on merit. There may also be the opportunity to shadow experienced teachers prior to running workshops or coaching sessions.
The application form helps the School to assess the suitability of its potential teachers. However it is worth noting that you will be expected to demonstrate that you have the necessary mental and emotional stability required to become a Teacher, both prior to and during the training programme.
BACKGROUND READING
The following 2 books are essential reading
- Transform your Life
- A Little Light on the Spiritual Laws
Recommended reading
- A New Light on Ascension
- The Power of Inner Peace
- A Time for Transformation
All books are by Diana Cooper and are available from her website at www.dianacooper.com
HOMEWORK
Consists of 2 key elements:
You will be required to keep a journal or record of your own reflections and experiences as a participant on the programme. As a guide the content of the journal may include the following:-
- Your expectations about the programme and what you hope to achieve
- What you perceive your own key strengths to be
- Your aspirations for the future
- Which of the exercises had an impact on you and why
- How you interacted with others
- What behavioural/attitudinal changes you may need to work on and how you plan to do this
- What have been the key learning points for you
- Things which you found most useful/least useful
- Looking into the future what challenges you may face
The Journal will be divided into 2 parts. Part one will cover the first weekend and Part 2 the second weekend.
Journal part one will include the 3 days of weekend 1 and the period up to the commencement of weekend 2. It should be handed to the course tutor at the commencement of weekend 2.
Journal part 2 will include the 3 days of weekend 2 and the 11 days following this. It should be posted or emailed to the course tutor 2 weeks before the commencement of weekend 3.
