THE PROGRAM
LEVEL 3 – AWAKENED THERAPIST TRAINING
The Awakened Therapist Level 3 Training is a 6-month transpersonal immersion in couple counseling. As the third level of the Institute for Spiritual Alignment’s training, this program invites you into the sacred exploration of working within the relational field—where two nervous systems, two histories, and a shared field of experience meet.
This training is offered in a hybrid format, with five live online classes and one in-person retreat in Boulder, Colorado. All lectures, discussions, and demonstrations will be available in the online classroom for ongoing integration and review.
Program dates will be released soon. Please check back for details.
This training is grounded in the understanding that as clinicians deepen their awareness, couple counseling becomes something more than mediating conflict or teaching communication skills. It becomes a practice of working within the living field between partners—tracking contact, rupture, repair, and the subtle ways each person’s system organizes in relationship.
As therapists develop greater attunement to presence, nervous system dynamics, and energetic shifts, the work opens into new dimensions of clarity, precision, and creative responsiveness. Both partners are supported through an approach that honors sovereignty while cultivating deeper contact.
In Level 3, you will:
- Work within the relational field, tracking moment-to-moment shifts between partners
- Apply advanced Gestalt experiments in the context of couple counseling, supporting repair and transformation
- Recognize and work with contact boundary disturbances as they emerge between partners
- Support regulation and co-regulation across two nervous systems simultaneously
- Attune to subtle energy within the relational field, following shifts as they arise
- Facilitate the integration of unfinished relational experiences held within the partnership
- Refine trauma-informed, transpersonal skills that meet body, psyche, and relational dynamics
- Expand your clinical creativity, learning to work in real time with what is emerging between partners
This training supports you in moving beyond technique and into a way of working that is responsive to the complexity and depth of relationship itself.
