Certification

Following the completion of the Unity Bridge training, “facilitator” graduates will be awarded either Lead Facilitator status or Assistant Facilitator status. Leads will be considered qualified to lead and facilitate group retreats without supervision. Assistants will be required to receive continued supervision/mentorship/experience before given full Lead status and will not be approved to lead retreats without supervision until further training has been completed (ongoing curriculum determined on a case by case basis).

“Mentorship” graduates will not receive the blessing to lead retreats or serve medicine. However, this training will provide a truly unique exposure to this work, the teachings, and our network of practitioners.

All graduates will become members of the UnityBridge community.
