This course is based off the work of Michael Kramer and Christopher Peck's Teacher training that they conducted in Hawaii and California from 2001-2005. Kat and myself have re-established this training and was a great success in November of 2007, as a five day training. We have now expanded this to it's true format of a 7-days for 2008.
Participants walk away with an incredible amount of resources and tools to teach and in many different settings to many different audiences. This training is limited to 20 participants and is a great regenerative experience for all.
