What is Sacred Story?

Created by Maria Kliavkoff, Sacred Story is a method of self discovery and personal empowerment. It is the human condition to communicate through story. How we see ourselves and the world around us is influenced by the way we tell our stories. As we listen carefully to the stories that we tell about ourselves, our family, and our lives, we begin to hear our assumptions, and our limiting beliefs. As the story unfolds the connection between the stories we tell and the lives we live become clear. Clients begin to reflect on the patterns of their lives and become empowered to make conscious choice, creating the lives they choose to live by becoming the conscious authors of their own life story.

What is Belief Re-patterning™?

Created by Suze Casey, (Sequana™ Initiative) Belief Re-patterning™ is an elegant, safe, practical and effective method of releasing limiting beliefs. The technique is completely complimentary with all forms of healing and treatment and works within the religious or spiritual belief system of the client. This technique is a synthesis of psychology, energy work, kinesiology, and cognitive development. Clients are astonished at the ease and grace with which this method works to create calm, peace of mind and the ability to live your life "on purpose". Belief Re-patterning™ improves not only your own life, but also the quality of your interactions with those whom you come in contact, including family, friends and coworkers.

What is Spiritual Psychology?

Psychology of Vision™ as defined by Dr. Chuck Spazzano is, "a healing model…made up of three elements: relationship, leadership and spirituality." We use these elements to explore our perceived truths, to identify limiting beliefs and to awaken to our truest nature. Using models and exercises identified and developed by visionary leaders such as Carl Jung, Chuck Spazzano, Christopher Moon, and David Deida, clients are able to unravel their past so that they may learn from it and move forward making deliberate and conscious choices. In this way the client begins to consciously create the future they desire.

Facilitator Leadership Training FAQs

Is this a licensing process, will we have licensing fees at the end of the two years of training?
There is no licensing fee following the training.  You will be free to use the models and techniques taught and integrate them into your work.  In fact a large part of the training is learning how to integrate the models with your work so that you discover your own facilitation style. 

At the end of the two-year program what am I qualified to do?
You are qualified to run workshops on your own using the models, tools and techniques taught.  We ask that you give credit to models that have been taught to you through MK Facilitations.  There are participants who complete their training with MK Facilitations who may wish to become MK Facilitations Facilitators, that option is available. 

Do we have required hours of practicum to complete each year?
MK Facilitations offers a practicum that runs in conjunction with the Facilitator/Leadership Training Phases.  If you are taking the phases only, you are not required to complete hours of practicum work.  The practicum does require hours of practice both as a private consultant and as a workshop facilitator.  In addition you are given a segment of the 2012 MK Facilitations Retreat to Facilitate.   

Do workshops we are already facilitating count towards our practicum?
Absolutely.  The purpose of this training is to work in conjunction with anything that you are currently doing.  Any workshops that you are currently doing can be counted as part of your practicum.  It is a wonderful way to integrate what you are learning with what you are already doing.

What is the difference between the phases of the 2-year program and the practicum?
The phases are the course work.  They are designed as 4 week long intensives with 6 months in between each intensive designed to give you the opportunity to integrate what you have learned into your current practice.  If you opt to take this training only, you receive a certificate of completion of Facilitator/Leadership Training at the end of phase 4.  The practicum is designed to work in conjunction with the course work to guide, support and instruct the integration process as you grow your private consultation practice and your develop your workshop business.  The practicum includes opportunities to facilitate on MK Facilitations events.  At the end of your practicum you receive a Certificate of Practice from MK Facilitations which acknowledges the completion of both the course work and the practicum.

How will FLT benefit me if I am not a facilitator?
Leadership skills, effective communication, techniques for clear and effective public speaking are fundamental to any relationship and any job.  Everyone can benefit from this training.  In the past participants have experienced improvements in their relationships with their significant other, they have been promoted at their workplace to leadership and management positions.  Corporations have even contributed to tuition costs for their employee.  This training is about learning the skills you need to realize your dreams.   

How will FLT benefit me if I am an experienced facilitator?
FLT is jam packed with models, tools and techniques for enhancing your current skill set and inspiring you to become the facilitator who attracts your target audience and changes lives.  This is an opportunity for you to look at how you do what you do.  In the 4 phases we look at every element of facilitation and leadership.  Understanding your unique style is the key to opening possibilities for you and for your clients.    

What kind of accommodations are available in Radium Hot Springs? What might the costs be or is it included in the price? Can I share with someone to make it more affordable for me? Is any food included?
Accommodations and meals are extra.  There are numerous styles of accommodation available in Radium and the surrounding area, everything from B & B’s to motels with kitchenettes and hotel resorts.  In the last training, participants connected and stayed at the Big Horns Meadow Resorts timeshare for a very reasonable rate.  The timeshare included a full kitchen and barbeque, so meals were like eating at home.  Our office can help hook you up with other participants and possible accommodations.    

How large/small is the group?
This is meant to be a small group so that we can work closely together.  The workshop is held in my home in Radium Hot Springs so that we have an intimate and relaxing setting.  The ideal group is 4-6 people. 

If I have no experience and everyone else has, will I be able to keep up?  
We begin at the very beginning.  We talk about the basics of facilitation and leadership because the foundational pieces need to be solid in order to become clear on what our unique gifts and styles are.  For those who have past experience, we explore the fundamentals so that we all have a conscious understanding of our foundational pieces.

Can I take the phases separately or do I have to take them all together?
Absolutely you can take them separately.  This program is designed to service your needs.  You can choose to take individual phases, you can take the phases without taking the practicum, or you can take any portion there of.  In order to receive the certificate of completion from MK Facilitations you must take all 4 phases.  In order to receive the Certificate of Practice from MK Facilitations you must take all four phases and complete the practicum.

Can I make money facilitating while I am taking the practicum?
Even if you are a brand new facilitator you will be charging a fee for your services from your first practicum on, this is a requirement.  What you will be charging will be up to you.  In the past students have used their earnings to help pay for their education.  Students have also had their companies contribute to the cost of tuition through professional development funds for leadership training.  If you work for a company, we encourage you to explore this option, you may be surprised by the assistance you could receive.
