The Compassion Cultivation Cycle™: Somatic Certificate Program. 28 CE Hours
This retreat-style certificate program is a spiral journey through the Compassion Cultivation Cycle — not as an intellectual concept, but as a lived practice. The cycle contains 6 significant phases of human development. Moving from Ruptured Connection to Compassion Embodied — the trauma-informed cycle maps both how we lost compassion and how we return. Over three weekend retreats and three virtual integration sessions, we will move through the model: as a clinician, as a practitioner, and as a human being.
The foundational lens of the entire year is the Wholeness Perspective™ — a radical reorientation away from deficit-based thinking towards wholeness led by the inquiry: what happened, and how brilliantly did you adapt? This perspective will expand beyond sheer concept into a deep understanding and reverence for the intelligence of our systems.
By the end of this program, you will have a clear, evidence-based pathway to compassion: the regulating force of the nervous system. You will be able to use the CCC as a compass — to locate where a client is living inside the cycle, to meet them there with presence and compassion, and to offer tools that will point them toward a trusting, embodied relationship with their inner wisdom. Weaving science with the sacred, we will aim to support deepening a sense of deep belonging to ourselves, the earth, and our relationships.
This certificate is not a replacement for your existing practice & training. It is the underlying layer — the somatic, relational, and ecological foundation that will amplify what you already offer.
