• This program is based on the Elder program initiated in 2012 to spread the ‘Myrna’ role and sustain the growth of Lewis Deep Democracy. Today we have a sufficient number of experienced Elders assisting the lDD community.

  • Based on the success of the program and the personal value past participants gained, Myrna is creating a program for anyone wanting to learn LDD’s method of providing coaching support. Existing coaches will be able to deepen their facilitation and coaching skills. And for those people interested in becoming a coach, it will lay a robust foundation.

COURSE STRUCTURE

Group Calls

18 x 90-min online sessions over 18 months

The training will take place in small groups of 3 to 5 people. The sessions will include people sharing deeper personal issues, gaining supervision on coaching/supervision work, practising with one another, doing more profound therapeutic work and receiving advanced real-time supervision.

Practice Sessions

Minimum 1 x per month

You will be required to practice with one another between the monthly calls. Practice between sessions can be with people of your own choosing. At least one practice session should be carried out per month and these sessions will be reviewed on the monthly call and you may be required to write them up.
