FAQs
Are there live sessions I have to attend?
1
No. As a busy mom of three young children, I (Gillian, creator of the course) wanted it to be accessible regardless of timezone and schedule. You can complete it at your own pace and you have 365 days from signing up to complete and submit the requirements for certification.
How are the lessons delivered?
2
The lessons are text-based, with meditations woven throughout for you to deepen your personal practice and teaching confidence. You can move through the lessons on the course platform, but you can also download the course manual where all the lessons are contained. This allows you access to the course content even after your year of enrollment expires.
Do I have lifetime access to the course?
3
We’ve intentionally not provided lifetime access to the course because we think having a time limit provides an extra nudge for students to get right to it–to not postpone the personal and professional growth. You'll be able to download all the lesson content in a PDF file–and that you can store safely on your computer or print out so that you have endless access to it.
How do I get my certificate?
4
In order to obtain your digital certificate, you'll need to thoughtfully complete the homework (outlined within the course) within one year of signing up for the program. In summary, the homework involves: reading through all of the lessons, practicing the meditations throughout, leading friends and/or family through 5 guided imagery meditations (and completing self-assessment forms for those), engaging in the course community, and submitting one recording of yourself leading a guided imagery session. If a part of your submission does not reflect the course teachings, we would (in rare cases) ask for you to re-submit that part. We'll work with you if needed to get you certified!
