Who should apply?
The deeply immersive Inner Bonding Facilitator Training Program (IBFTP) is designed for adults from all backgrounds who have benefited from the Inner Bonding process developed by Dr. Margaret Paul and Dr. Erika Chopich. Some are counselors, therapists, ministers, coaches, healing professionals and teachers. Some are leaders, entrepreneurs and consultants. Others have no work experience in these areas but have been on their own personal and spiritual growth path and feel ready to take the next step. We believe the best Inner Bonding facilitators are the ones who are committed to their own growth and healing and are therefore able to compassionately walk beside and guide others from their Loving Adult. Many people may choose to take this training solely for their own personal growth, as it is the deepest coursework Inner Bonding offers. This program is an investment not only in your future career but in the quality of your life and relationships. To apply to the program, potential participants must first complete the program prerequisites listed below.
Program Prerequisites
We believe that the Facilitator Training Program should be the last step in a person’s journey toward becoming an Inner Bonding® Facilitator, and that each potential participant must fulfill a number of prerequisites in order to be eligible to enter the IBFTP. If you are interested in becoming a facilitator, please be sure to complete the following program prerequisites (especially a live Inner Bonding Intensive, which must be completed before your admittance into the program):
-
Inner Bonding® Love Yourself 30-Day Online Course
-
Attendance at a minimum of either one Inner Bonding® Intensive OR one Inner Bonding® Breakthrough
The hallmark of Inner Bonding Facilitators is the work they have done on themselves, as well as their facilitation skills. Therefore, applicants to the IBFTP must demonstrate a high level of maturity, self-awareness and ability to apply the steps and concepts of Inner Bonding to their personal growth. It is therefore likely that the majority of applicants will need to attend more than one intensive to arrive at this level. It is up to the discretion of the trainers to determine whether a person is ready to join the program, which may require one, two, or more intensives. During times of travel restriction, Dr. Margaret Paul is offering Intensives virtually.
Check the Events page to view upcoming available Intensives.
-
A minimum of 8 in-person, telephone or Skype/Zoom sessions with an Inner Bonding® Facilitator*
*This can be done in a variety of combinations, bearing in mind that at least 4 of the sessions must be with a Certified Inner Bonding Facilitator or Dr. Margaret Paul, and the other 4 sessions can be:
- 4 sessions facilitated by a Facilitator-In-Training (listed at the bottom of the Certified Inner Bonding Facilitator list
- 4 for attending two of Margaret's 6-week Telephone Support Groups
- or 2 sessions facilitated by a Facilitator-In-Training and 2 for attending one of Margaret's 6-week Telephone Support Group
-
Read “Diet For Divine Connection” and “The Inner Bonding Workbook” (and complete the work in the workbook, as we will be referring to this in the IBFTP).
- Or if you have already fulfilled the earlier version of this pre-requisite (which was a self-guided study program of two Inner Bonding® books or one Inner Bonding® book and one Inner Bonding® CD/mp3 lecture or course of your choice [in addition to the “Love Yourself” course]), then that is acceptable instead of "Diet For Divine Connection".
If you think you'd like more time to finish the prerequisites and do your own self-growth work before October, 2022, please email Stel Fine so that we can add your name to our list so we may notify you regarding future Inner Bonding® Training Programs as they become available.
