Would you like to teach this new work?

We have had many queries from around the world asking us if we are certifying teachers to teach Reference Point Therapy. The answer is yes, but I request your input to iron out the details.

In this post I set out a framework that I have been working on for several months (and promising you for a long time I know!).

Summary:

To save you reading a long post, here’s the summary:

• if you complete our Level 3 course you will be certified to teach Levels 1 and 2 Reference Point Therapy for up to a year. There will be a contract and a license fee involved. The terms will be fair and not restrictive.
• Next year we will have a comprehensive teacher training and mentoring program certifying you to teach all levels of this work. This is part of the World Harmony Foundation project for creating Leaders in global consciousness.
• We are gifting the Level 1 material (on this blog website) to the public domain. You can teach it under your own name, just give credit where credit is due. You cannot use my manuals unless you have done Level 3 and are certified, but you can use the Level 1 concepts in your own name as you wish.
• Theta Healing teachers will be asked to make a choice – you can teach Theta or RPT but not mix the two together. This would breach your Theta teacher contract and also confuse your students. I made this mistake, please don’t repeat it.

This is along post because I’ve spent about 3 months working out how we can do this as wisely as possible – meeting your needs, but meeting all our serious concerns which I’ll spell out below.

Why are we certifying teachers?

The reason why I am certifying teachers now in RPT is to because you asked for it. It’s for you not me! My plan is longer term – mentoring global leaders in consciousness (more on that below), but I am offering you an abundance source to replace what you currently do with something less restrictive.

Most of our new RPT students are Theta Healing teachers and practitioners. These people make a living out of teaching Theta. After learning these new techniques they would much rather teach something truly effective, and for sure they will have integrity issues going back to teach Theta. It would be very unfair of us to waltz in and show you something one hundred times faster and easier, and then leave without replacing your existing source of income with something that works in alignment with your integrity.

Respect the work (don’t make my mistakes)

The last thing I want is to hear that Theta teachers are teaching “Theta Healing courses” but actually teaching our work. I have heard this from 20 or more Theta teachers already after they read this blog or watched our DVD. If you do that then you are not honoring your contract with Vianna and Guy. I made the same mistake last year so let me tell you that it is going to confuse your students, especially when they do a further course with Vianna and find it’s very different (and slower) material. This is where I got into trouble and I want to spare you (and Guy) that stress. What you do with your clients is up to you, but when you teach you have to honor your teacher and your students.

Please note I am not suggesting you should stop teaching Theta. Although the Vianna Fan Club has tried persecuting our promoters (don’t worry, no harm done, they are under my protection), you will not get any pressure from us. Do whatever sits well with you, but do keep them separate and clear.

What are our main concerns with teacher training?

OK, I’ve been delaying this post for 3 months. What makes me really reluctant to offer a teacher certification for Reference Point Therapy is:

• our Leadership program is at least 12 months from being ready;
• it takes time to nurture and develop good teaching skills. If you look at the huge disparity in Theta teachers for example (professional teachers and those that basically read from the book), you will see that a 4 day teacher course doesn’t make you a teacher;
• if I was certifying you to teach in my name and promoting you on my website I would ideally want a 2 week teacher training so that I can really guarantee that you are amazing and totally in your power and mastery. And I want to share with you what I’ve learned about effective teaching and communication. (I have more than 10 years’ experience in teaching and public speaking);
• my biggest concern is that I do not have time to deal with any drama. I have seen how my friend Guy Stibal became side tracked as a “Mr. Theta Police”. He lost 10 years of his life (meaning away from his life purpose) just wasting time chasing naughty Theta teachers (like me)! I have no time for that and I wont be policing our teachers.
• apart from low standards (the 4 day “stay awake and you get certified” Theta teacher training), my main issue with Theta teachers has been the competitive streak that is rife. I have been a lawyer, an investment banker and even worked for politicians, and let me tell you there is more honor among all three dishonorable professions than among Theta teachers. Lawyers, bankers and politicians all “hate” the other side, but they never drop as low as Theta teachers do. I’ve had the people I thought were my friends try hard to get me de-certified because I was stepping on their territory (such as running my own digging course). I’ve seen the serious damage caused by a prominent Theta teacher who literally brainwashed a vulnerable client (during a paying session) to program her how to make complaints about her original Theta teacher (who the practitioner was threatened by). Did Vianna and Guy do anything? Not only do they protect bad teachers who play favorites with them – they even “promoted” these 2 teachers and put their testimonials on the back page of their new book. Bizarre…. That is why Theta Healing has crumbled. Integrity. This is what I will avoid at all costs (and this is why I was not going to certify teachers).
• Let me be clear: You cannot BE the light if you are so enmeshed in competition and jealousy, so afraid that the other person’s innovations will reduce the numbers on your next course. It is my responsibility in leadership training to ensure this never happens within RPT. But if it does, if there is competition instead of teamwork – I would throw in the towel and start over. A healing modality cannot be saved once that pernicious behavior becomes entrenched (as you cannot cancel a legal teacher contract because someone is jealous – you are stuck with them – but you don’t need to promote them!). Clearly we need to find a solid footing to prevent this from ever happening to RPT.

What are the options for teacher certification?

So with all those legitimate concerns, what can we do?

First and foremost, Evette and I are not creating a healing modality (and I promised this in person to Guy Stibal just recently). We have no interest in healing modalities. We have a bigger vision. We are part of an international team known as World Harmony Foundation (the website is currently being rebuilt so I’m sorry I don’t have a link for you yet). For the last 10 years WHF has been building its network and its assets ready for it’s launch. I originally became the director of the “healing” chapter in 2007, but this is evolving into a Global Consciousness Project. After all it’s not about healing, it’s about Being.

So to be clear, Reference Point Therapy is not really a healing modality, it’s a toolkit in a multi-million dollar evolutionary project for raising global consciousness. We don’t want “teachers” so much as we want new Leaders to create huge shifts in consciousness. This is our vision, and we now have the team and resources to put it in place.

If this inspires you, then we are ready to start coaching you as part of a global consciousness team. This is a no ego place, and there are no gurus here (we have all seen how dangerous that can be). So if you need to go it in your own name and know better than (be separate to) everyone else, please stop reading now as this isn’t for you. This is NOT “Simon says”, this is much bigger than that. If you are ready to accept me as your equal and allow me to accept you as my equal, we can create something very powerful.

I’m going to put our short term (12 months) offer now, and read on below to find out more about the longer term plan for Leaders within WHF.

Shorter term – next 12 months

Here’s what I’m thinking, and I value your input..

Given that there’s a huge demand from Theta teachers to teach courses in alignment with their values (ie to teach something that really works), we feel that we must offer some form of teacher certification this year. Honestly, it would be unfair not to, despite all our concerns.

Evette and I have been discussing this with a number of you and have reached this compromise offer. This is still a work in progress, it is not set in stone. I am putting it here on the blog because I really want and value your feedback.

Teaching our concepts in your name – running your own work

It was never my dream to found a healing modality. All I want is to fulfill my mission of showing people fast, effective, simple ways to achieve instant healings – to fill the blanks left by Theta. I have no ego attachment to this work, I don’t really care what you do with the underlying concepts. Teach it in your own name, integrate it into your work, and just give credit where credit is due. Level 1 is not Reference Point Therapy, it’s YOUR HEALING WORK (.com) and you should teach it in a way that sits well with you. This is after all the era of being your own teacher.

Therefore I am making the following offer – anyone who does our Level 1 course or buys the DVD can do whatever they like with that Level 1 material. In integrity you need to give a reference and acknowledgment to me, the same way I have done for McFetridge, Soleria and my other teachers. You can teach it in your own name, call it whatever you like. It’s my gift to you. You cannot use our manuals (which I spent hundreds of hours on) but you can use the concepts in your own words. (Full terms appear in the new Level 1 manual which will be emailed to everyone doing the course or buying the DVD.)

I hope you’ll agree that that’s pretty fair. We have no ego or control issues here!

If you want to use our Level 1 and 2 manuals and materials, please see the offer below which is for Level 3 graduates.

Teaching Level 2: Reference Point Therapy

The Level 1 work is really just about how to make Theta or NLP safe and effective, what you do with it is up to you. The Level 2 work is our most cutting edge work. It’s still developing at a rapid pace, every time we teach the class it evolves. Because of the nature of this work we are not yet ready to give it as a gift to the public domain the way we have with Level 1. Also we do want to keep the “Reference Point Therapy” label since we believe the concept of the earliest reference point is an important innovation in healing work. Therefore we are not giving Level 2 away for you to do as you want in your name, instead we will certify people to teach it under the name RPT.

From late 2010 onwards we will certify teachers to teach this work under our banner and through World Harmony, meaning your courses will appear on our website and we will promote you in exotic places (instead of teaching our own courses – we will not teach Levels 1-3, you will). In the meantime though, we will be allowing our graduates to teach this work on certain conditions.

The main condition if you want to use our manuals or to teach the instant healing technique in our Level 2 course is that you have to do Level 3. You cannot teach this work without having seriously worked on your own stuff.

If, at the end of Level 3 you want to teach this work, we will offer you a 12 month license to teach Level 2 Reference Point Therapy. There will be a royalty in exchange for use of our manuals.

This is a short term solution, in that it’s only intended to take you to the Leadership program next year.

Leadership Program

Here’s my plan:

• In mid to late 2010 we will run a 2 week Leadership intensive. We will spend the next 6 months preparing it. It will not be me talking about “my story” for 4 days the way other teacher trainings work. It will be an intense program to clear your ability to connect and work with 10 or 100 (or more) people simultaneously.
• You will have to prepare and teach an entire day’s material, not juts little 10 minute tests you’ve seen elsewhere. In short it will be a REAL teacher training and leadership program. It wont be a meaningless piece of paper. It’s not just about teacher training, it’s about Powerful Grace. You cannot teach this work until you are in your power. If you are the sort to create jealous and competitive attacks, to act for yourself and not the team, then you wont pass the course. (Don’t worry, I’m confident the course will recreate those patterns.)
• At the end of the course you will have the strength, confidence and ability to teach anyone. You will get regular coaching and development from me. And most importantly you will be part of our Team, listed on our website and part of the World Harmony Project to raise global consciousness.
• That means if we have promoters in Africa our South America wanting a course, I can pay you to go there and teach it. We are talking about an alliance of teachers working together for shared abundance, not hundreds of individuals out for themselves. That’s what inspires me.
• As you know, I am retiring from healing next year (I came out of retirement to share this work) so I am handing it over to you guys to teach so I can go back to the big picture work with World Harmony Foundation.

That program will take 6-12 months to set up. It’s not just the content for the course (which Evette is working on now), it’s the structure for working together. I can assure you there will be nothing like the “Theta Healing Teacher contract” which is probably what creates the culture of fear and competition in that group. I will be spending the next year working on our “Teamwork Agreement”. I plan on putting drafts on this blog so you can help me with it. You wont be hit with a surprise contract the first day of the course, it’s something we need to talk about and agree as a conscious community.

As you can see I’ve given this a lot of thought. Teacher training was (in my view) the downfall for Theta Healing, seriously distracting Vianna and especially Guy from their purpose by making them reliant on teacher training (and teacher CONTROL) for their income. It is therefore so vitally important that we get this right.

Will this work for you?

We really value your thoughts and feedback on how we can improve this. Please leave detailed comments here.

If you think I’m over-cautious of have been too critical of the Theta Helaing teacher training, please let me know your thoughts. I am sure I will learn from them.
