Become a Certified Leela Therapist - Being a True Friend
Our model for a therapist is called a True Friend: someone with a quiet mind, an open heart, and the skillful means for therapeutic intervention. Through exercises and practice, you will be able to be a true friend in both your personal and professional life.
Skillful Means for Working as a Coach, Guide, Healer, Therapist, and True Friend
The skills we offer are broad, and cover several different modalities, which together form a coherent, effective and powerful medium for therapeutic intervention. Based on over thirty years of a life's work, we pass on these skills to spread the possibility for true happiness in this moment.
Skillful means requires insight into your client's presenting conditions. You will have the means to know which intervention is appropriate, and the flexibility to generate your own unique interventions. Advanced certification is available for those seeking to go deeper.
Preparing You to Work
The skills we offer at The Leela School are for your own awakening and skillful living in the world, while also offering the possibility to be certified as a therapist to work with clients on a range of presenting issues. You will be prepared for working with clients who want to stop smoking or other addictions, as well as with clients who want to be more conscious in their lives. You will find your own area of specialization, and a way to creatively serve. The Leela School of Awakening supports world peace and freedom through universal self-realization. If your heart calls you, you are welcome here.
