Sacred Contracts: The CMED Experience
A Day at CMED
CMED is an all-day experience. The CMED philosophy is that you are a "guest in our home" and we are grateful that you have joined us. We intent to make your journey worthwhile and therefore from the time you arrive, you are kept busy with a wonderful program. The day begins early with yoga and the pre-workshop lecture may vary from an Indian shaman to a brilliant astrologer. The day is filled with Caroline's workshop and the evenings are led by yet other faculty members such as Jim Curtan, a spiritual director specializing in archetypes in the movies. On-site massage therapists are available during all workshops as are other guest experts on a wide variety of topics.
Benefits Of Joining The CMED Institute
1. PERSONAL INSTRUCTION:
Participants will be assisted by skilled faculty during the intensives.
2. PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT:
Upon completion of the program, CMED will give graduates the option of listing their names and e-mail addresses on Myss.com so that they can be reached by anyone interested in having a professional reading. CMED is dedicated to continuing a long-term career support for its members. By listing your name and availability as a counselor in this field and/or as someone who is available to host a learning group, we can provide you with professional support. (None of your earnings through CMED go to CMED. Money that is earned by you as a result of completing the CMED Institute is fully yours.)
3. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH MATERIAL:
Participants will receive additional information for their own use and continual education through CMED that will not be available to non-members. This information will include research amassed by other members who are interested in sharing their own work. Through this channel, participants can meet the highest level of people experienced with my work, with whom they can engage in their own research projects.
