AN INTERACTUALIZER LEARNING PROGRAM

The Emergent Practitioner

Uniquely Human Transformational Practices for the Age of AI

A 6-week live Zoom training program.

The program

Most coaching happens more at the surface of a client's thinking in what is called explicit cognition. 

This experiential program is an immersive dive into the science and practice of working with the deeper implicit levels— those vast, largely invisible layers of processing that shape everything a client thinks, feels, decides, and does. Modern cognitive science suggests this constitutes around 95% of our total cognitive activity.
Through a rich blend of experiential practice and conceptual grounding, participants develop skill in some of the most sophisticated and effective approaches available to the human developmental coach, including:

  • Using narrative, story, myth, archetypes, metaphor, other language as catalysts for transformation
  • Working skillfully with the intersubjective level of the interpersonal field
  • Visualization and image-based approaches to inner work
  • Embodiment, and working with the felt sensed levels of cognition
  • The science of multiplicity — coaching with parts and selves
  • Engaging with the evolving, constructed self within practitioner work.

This is not merely a techniques class. It's an invitation to work at a fundamentally different level of the human system—one that most coach training never reaches. To understand more about the work download our free ebook on embodiment.

Facilitated live on Zoom. See below for dates.

“Wildness is a form of sophistication, because it carries within it true knowledge of our place in the world. It doesn't exclude civilization but prowls through it, knowing when to attend to the needs of the committee and when to drink from a moonlit lake. It will wear a suit when it has to, but refuses to trim its talons or whiskers.”

—Martin Shaw, A Branch from the Lightening Tree
