Certification Program

Our Facilitator Certification track is designed as a 6-10-month minimum program that involves leading a practice group and working one-on-one with one of our mentors – senior facilitators with hundreds of hours of Compassionate Listening facilitation experience.

Goals of the Certification Program

  1. To ensure consistency, integrity and the highest standards for Compassionate Listening (CL) programs.
  2. To prepare facilitators to teach core CL trainings as well as create new CL curricula and programs, and to ensure that participants maintain a high skill level before teaching.
  3. To prepare facilitators to be a force for transforming polarization in their own lives and in the world by developing mastery of Compassionate Listening℠ Five Core Practices.

To date, 169 people have participated in our Advanced Trainings; 20 are now Certified Facilitators, and 10 more are currently in our certification program. Our Advanced Training courses are an experiential immersion and do not focus on teaching facilitation skills. Those planning to go on to our Facilitator Certification Track are expected to have gained facilitation skills in other settings.
