CERTIFICATE IN APPLIED DREAMWORK (100 HOURS), 2010,
Endorsed by Human Development and Training Institute of NZ.
Tutor: Margaret Bowater, MA, TSTA, MNZAP, MNZAC,
NZ Contact for International Assocn for the Study of Dreams.
Since 2001, 27 people have graduated through HD&TI with my Certificate in Applied Dreamwork. Although it is no longer administered directly by HD&TI, the Directors have agreed to give their Endorsement to the Certificate, and to include the award in their Annual Graduation.
I am continuing to administer the course from my own home, and to teach the components through various venues, including my own home, the Mercy Spirituality Centre in Epsom, and other Centres on request. HD&TI continue to include Stage 1 as a mandatory unit in their Diploma of Counselling and Family Therapy.
The Certificate is designed to focus primarily on experiential training in the practical skills and basic theory of dreamwork, including recent research, for use with self, clients, friends and family. On-going training and supervision to strengthen your practice are also offered.
I have slightly re-organised the Certificate for 2010 to define the modules more clearly. Do 101 first.
Costs of courses vary according to venues, etc. The time-frame is usually one year.
