Training

Shalom Mountain is committed to the training and examination of the psychological and theological principles that underlie the process of transformation. The Introductory Training has benefited many different groups of people who are involved in counseling or spiritual direction as well as others in such diverse fields as business, education and health care. The practice of intentional loving can become a lifestyle informing all of who we are and what we do in the world. We invite you to look over our offerings.

Introduction to Process Training: This training program encourages people to understand the inner workings of the Shalom Process and to translate these into a variety of settings: therapy, health care, business, religion and education. It is for people who have already explored the Shalom Process for their own personal growth

Advanced Process Training: Shalom Retreat Leadership Training (SRLT) is for people interested in, and who have a gift for leadership of Shalom Retreats. The intention of SRLT is to develop excellence in Shalom process leadership and to build a group of skilled leaders to carry this work into a growing number of settings. SRLT will focus on deepening your theoretical understanding, honing your therapeutic skills and developing more presence as a leader. In addition, each participant will receive one-on-one supervision. Open to graduates of previous SRLTs who are interested in continuing to develop their skills. Prerequisite: Introduction to Process Training. Screening interview required.

Internships: Six month Internships are offered at Shalom Mountain. The Internship is a residential experience in which the individual is immersed in the Shalom Process. The experience includes a practicum centering around the ongoing management of a retreat center, weekly individual and group supervision, participation in didactic and clinical sessions, leadership of retreats, exploration of one’s own life dream and its development, and, perhaps biggest of all, the learning to live and work with mystical aplomb and an open heart.
