Dyson MD for Eco Medicine Seminars

The second Metavision Holistic Coaching Course started in June 2010
The second Holistic Coaching Course at the Metavision Institute started in June 2010 and runs for three two-day sessions. Students from the first course, run in 2009, found that adding coaching to their toolkit has been most useful in their practices. This is in line with the Metavision Institute's understanding of offering clients what they need, rather than sticking rigidly to one kind of intervention.
Potential students wishing to do the 2011 course are encouraged to contact the office to express your interest.
The 2009 Holistic Coaching Course resulted in seven enthusiastic students receiving their Certificates. After completing the course they chose to pair up and co-coach one another for eight sessions as practice towards introducing coaching into their current practices.
After the course they elected to meet up one more time at the home of the facilitator, Rosemary Shapiro-Liu in Sydney to share their experiences and offer guidance to one another about the way forward. They have stayed in touch to encourage one another into this new world.
The students found that the Holistic Coaching techniques have been useful to add to their toolkit. Some have included Holistic Coaching into their current practices.
You are welcome to speak to Rosemary Shapiro-Liu should you need further information at 0405 392827
The Post Graduate Diploma of Holistic Counselling and
Psychotherapy in 2011
In 2011 the Institute will offer the first Post Graduate training over two years for students who already have a relevant undergraduate Degree or life experience.
The format requires attendance at the Metavision Institute campus in Bowral for two Intensives plus one weekend per year, and thus remains suitable for people who live at a distance. The e-learning component will ensure personal contact and support throughout the training.
The Institute will continue to run the Advanced Diploma of Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy over three years for those students who are currently enrolled in the course.
Both the Post Graduate Diploma and the Advance Diploma meet the training requirements of PACFA and the Institute is planning to submit an application to PACFA to have the courses accredited with them. However, currently it is possible for graduates to become a member of CAPACAR and apply to PACFA for membership once meeting the requisite post training hours of clinical work and supervision.
An application to the Higher Education Board of the NSW Department of Education and Training to have our current Diploma of Holistic Counselling and Advanced Diploma of Holistic Psychotherapy converted to a Graduate Diploma of Holistic Counseling and Psychotherapy is currently under way.
