You're Ready to Begin

You are about to begin The Art of Companioning: Foundations.

We are delighted you will be joining us as we explore the Conscious Companioning Approach β€” a way of walking beside someone we care about as she navigates change. As soon as you enroll, you'll have access to all eight Pathways, and you can move through them at your own pace.

You don’t need to have all the answers ... You can learn how to walk beside her.

Your Foundations Experience Includes:

  • Eight thoughtfully designed Foundations Pathways that guide you from the foundations of companioning through awakening, awareness, acceptance, alignment, authenticity, and meaningful action
  • Foundations learning materials to support you as you move through each Pathway
  • Guided personal reflection to deepen your awareness of yourself and what you bring into your relationships with others
  • The Art of Companioning Through Life Transitions, yours as a digital download
  • The Art of Companioning Through Life Transitions Book Club Facilitator Guide, yours as a digital download
  • A Certificate of Participation recognizing your completion of the program
  • Something special to look forward to: eight live Learning Labs with a circle of women from around the world, offered throughout the year, where you practice companioning in the Companion, Practice Partner, and Observer roles, with recordings so you can revisit the learning along the way. Your place is included.

You’ll receive a welcome email with everything you need to get started, including the dates for the next Learning Labs.
