The Mighty Heart in Action Facilitators Training Course

Gold Mighty Heart logo

I am delighted to announce The Mighty Heart in Action new online facilitators course.

This course is designed to enable trained facilitators to deliver the Mighty Heart in Action course effectively and confidently. The 8 modules have been condensed [see module descriptions’ below] to offer a cogent and effective way of learning and practising these great skills. As founder of the course, I will introduce each module and then our experienced Course Guide will take you through the texts, the stories, examples and challenges.

The course will run on Saturdays over a period of eight weeks, from 1st February to 22nd March 2025. The course is open to those who have experience in coaching, counselling, teaching or similar, and will take place during a 2-hour period, with assignments to be undertaken in students’ own time. Since our participants in this course come from places as far apart as USA and Japan, we have had to settle of a time frame for the modules to meet their needs as best we can; the modules will therefore take place at 11am GMT for two hours on each Saturday from 1st February to 22nd March.

Recordings may be made available but we absolutely encourage that you participate live in person for each module delivery. Why do we so insist? Because your participation, the questions you ask and the issues you raise, are invaluable to other people’s understanding of the module content.

The overall cost of the course is £800; we have kept this to an absolute minimum which barely covers our costs in organising and running this course. Included in this fee you will have access to all recorded materials both during and after the live course (including videos, texts, teachings by experts and session recordings), and an evaluation at the end of the course. A few bursaries will be made available to those working to prevent or resolve armed conflict; apply to sometimesophia@gmail.com, who can also answer queries if needed.

Modules

  1. What breaks your heart? When we own the loss, the grief, and the anger in our lives, we can discover and tap into a vast energy for change. Opening the heart makes compassion possible. Heart centred communication can change family life, transform negotiations and even stop a killing.
  2. Deep Listening Fully listening to another person, especially someone you dislike, can enable insight and start a process of profound connection and understanding. It takes practice, but once learned can reveal vital information that you both can use to prevent and resolve conflict.
  3. Taming your Inner Critic This module enables those (90%) of us) who are plagued by Imposter Syndrome, to transform this inner critic into an ally, and even a guide. The taming process includes a much-heightened awareness, and access to tools that work with this energetic force.
  4. Cleaning Anger We learn how to notice the rising tide of our anger, examine it, and then turn its power into an internal fuel that ultimately gives us the energy to put right cruelty and injustice. This transformation can change lives.
  5. Developing Presence Using pure alert awareness, train yourself to have the kind of innate presence that is powerful enough not only to de-fuse a tense situation but can even save lives. Herein lies a great true story.
  6. Heart Intelligence Left-brain linear thinking is obsessed with argument, results, measurement, and ‘winning’. As you develop the intelligence of the heart, when faced by an apparently insoluble problem your intuition will begin to see the whole picture and use compassion to find solutions that benefit all.
  7. Taking a Stand When faced by an issue you care about, learn to be able to stand up, stand your ground, and deliver your message with courage, clarity, presence and purpose. You know what that looks like. You can do it.
  8. You are in Service The major decision reached by the Business Plan for Peace team last year is that The Mighty Heart has a huge role to play in re-balancing the current consumer mantra: “what can I get?” with a new passion: “what can I give?”. This course enables you to be part of the millions worldwide who have decided to be in service to building a safer future for all.
