One of our most dynamic and powerful programs within the IUCIS
for both individual and professional developmentGroup leading is one of the most exciting and rewarding professions you can enter. It challenges you to come into your energy, your heart, your honesty and your self-expression like almost nothing else can. And the wave of energy that is created in a group lifts you as much as the group members. There is a great need for people who are connected to their own essence and who can create environments in which others can connect to theirs. The skills of a competent group leader are highly in demand in professional environments throughout the world, and group leading is a lucrative and well-paying field. The group leading skills you learn will help you in any and all situations where people come together.
How the GLT works
When two or more of us come together a group is formed and energetic dynamics of relating come into play. The GLT is an exploration of working with groups from an Energetic perspective.
Relating is an exchange of energy between different energy centers within each person. According to the state and nature of the chakras involved, so will be the quality and type of interaction that occurs. It is the underlying energetic nature of each human being that really determines what happens in relating, not what the conscious intention may be. It is when we can open the energy centers and bring them into conscious use that fully enriching relating can occur. This type of relating is the basis for competent teaching and leadership.
The GLT will focus upon the Energetic Dynamics of relating. Through understanding the nature of relating and your own relating dynamics you will step into entirely new ways of working with people that will be more joyful and effective. You will learn to step out with your energy. You will learn to lead by drawing out that which is most natural to the people you are working with. You will learn to teach by courageously being an example of what you are teaching - truth, authenticity, vulnerability and love. Central to the GLT will be discovering your natural way of presenting yourself, helping you "come out" with who you are. This training will include clearing inhibiting patterns such as shame, fear of expression, shyness, unconscious power patterns, etc., which hold you back..
