Limited Membership
The numbers of participants in this program will be limited in order to provide a more intimate and individualized support system for attendees. There is a maximum of 200 students per class. As people proceed through this program during the consecutive workshops, the opportunity to form close friendships and learning support groups becomes one of your greatest assets.
Previous Programs
If you wish to take this program, please be aware that you are required to take all six workshops, whether or not you have already taken a Sacred Contracts Workshop with me. The material I teach and the research I gather are continually changing, and this special workshop series will be taught from the vantage point of my current understanding of Sacred Contracts, so that the people I qualify to guide others professionally will be working from the most advanced knowledge possible. It is crucial to the cohesiveness of these groups that the instructions begin with all participants in the same program.
Academic Requirements
The Sacred Contracts training offered through the CMED Institute is a certification program that represents that you have completed instruction in my field of research. This certification does not require that participants have already attended a conventional graduate school program and earned a Master's or Doctorate. For those who wish to use this tool within their counseling work, education in their own field is sufficient. For those whose background does not include any professional instruction in a particular field, studying this material for personal spiritual work or for sharing insight with family and friends is most appropriate. Beyond that circle of life, keep in mind that working with archetypes with people who may be going through a stressful period in their lives can be emotionally risky.
Continuing Education Credit
CMED is recognized by the National Board for Certified Counselors (provider #6115) to offer continuing education for National Certified Counselors, and adheres to CEC guidelines. Criteria for 22 hours of Continuing Education Credits for each CMED class.
Refund Policy
Refunds must be requested in writing. Full refunds minus a $250 per person processing fee will be given for requests received more than one week before the workshop. Requests received within one week of the workshop will either be refunded 50% or given a transfer to another workshop. No refund requests will be honored post-workshop.
