Council Guide Training Switzerland

move the teachings out into the world – to families, communities, organizations and businesses. They dreamed a way to offer the teachings in the modern world, a way that still honoured the old path, and the Council Guide Training was born. The CGT is a two-and-a-quarter-year programme in which participants meet four times a year for five days - nine ceremonies in total. The first year involves intensive study and integration of learnings within the Self. This work is done as individuals and together as a team. Participants learn to interact as a self-organizing learning circle. Everyone is expected to involve themselves deeply in the study and practice of the teachings and to grow their self-knowledge by applying the tools they are taught in their daily lives. Between each ceremony assignments assist the integration of the tools and participants are supported personally by their Guide in this process. They also participate in a bi-monthly electronic reporting process and the whole group interacts online throughout the training. After this first year of study and self-integration, the second year is much like a physician’s residency program. In addition to attending the four required ceremonies, participants create other opportunities to demonstrate their ability to deliver these teachings under supervision. In this way, each person can be confident that they have truly incorporated the tools and practices for their own use and for sharing with others if they choose to do that. The journey is taught by WhiteEagle from New Mexico and an international group of trained and experienced guides.
