Training for Havayah Facilitators
Circle Works Training:
This training will be done over the course of 25 sessions (approximately 6 months).
The goals of the training are:
A) To develop a thorough 'behind-the-scenes' understanding of what goes on in the circle work groups.
B) To gain a heightened awareness of one's own inner-group actions, reactions & interactions.
C) To have a supportive space in which to ponder, practice & process about different interventions and behaviors in the group.
D) To emerge as a capable facilitator of Circle Work groups, able to create a space for participants' personal growth through group process (all of this within a supervised framework).
The Program includes:
1.) Crucial readings from Irvin Yalom's “The Theory & Practice of Group Psychotherapy” and other relevant materials on Experiential Torah and the synthesis between Judaism and psychology.
2.) Committed participation & note-taking during circle work group.
3.) Homework writing assignments. These will focus on a careful analysis of what the trainee has learned through her own participation & observations of the group.
4.) An intensive 30-minute meeting following each group to discuss important learning points that occured during the group session.
5.) After the intial training period of 25 courses, the trainee will ideally get the chance to facilitate her own group, while working in weekly supervision.
Restricted to those with significant past experience in therapeutic settings and/or prior participation in “Circle Works” for at least 4 months.
