James has developed the ability to see people very clearly and to help people see themselves more clearly. He has found practical ways he can teach people to shift behavioral patterns that don’t serve them. James is very adept at working with people on physical, emotional, and mental levels. He has reached a high level of skill at relieving physical pain and resolving trauma. He has great success in helping people with sexual issues. James has helped many people to have happier and more fulfilling lives.

We are happy to offer trainings where we teach people how James does what he does. Much of our time and energy is moving in this direction. We have a new training beginning in March 2009 in Berlin, Germany. We also have an existing training that is moving into our second year of working together.

We offer these trainings in blocks of four or five 5 or 10-day groups over a period of several months. We are still experimenting with frequency and format.

We call the first training block, “The Healing Relationship.” James has found that the most effective work happens in shifting relationships. We begin by working on developing primary skills necessary to come into a healing relationship. These include honesty, courage, consciousness, sensitivity, empathy and intuition. Then we add more specialized skills such as splitting focus, tracking, state shifting and healing rhythms. We focus on the basic principles and not on techniques.

James has found that there is a way of looking at the world that supports change, personal growth, healing and happiness. He will share this with you. He finds this point of view greatly contributes to making his work so effective.

We will deeply explore feeling our feelings and learn how to support others to experience their feelings. James has found that the state where the most profound shifts happen is when one is fully experiencing what they feel. When we are not holding back and not acting out. We will learn how to help people come into this state and stay in it long enough to effect change.

James has also found that it is very difficult to see something in someone else that you have not looked at yourself. As the group progresses and we become more proficient with the basic skills we will put more focus on clearing our personal patterns. Our last meeting will be a 10-day residential group where we will focus on using our skills to support each other to move through as much as our stuff as we can.

We are very interested in working together with a group of people working this way. Most of the people from the previous trainings are still working with us and in the coming year we will be exploring projects we can do together. If you choose to participate in this training it is very likely this possibility will be available.

This training is very valuable to anyone who wants to improve their ability to come into relationship. Though most of the people participating in the training have therapeutic practices we also have had a business consultant, a scientist and a judge. The principles we work with are useful in all aspects of life, including personal relationships.

Working with James is a very intimate and powerful experience, and is not for everybody. We are interested in people who have an open mind and the desire to explore where they limit themselves. James shares with great love and humor, but is also very direct and honest. If you do not want to hear what James has to share, we ask you not to apply. We highly recommend you work with James in other groups so you have a clear idea of what his work is like.

Something very powerful also happens between members of the group. You will be working very intimately with these people and we will be using the relationships between you to explore what is possible in relationship. If this does not appeal to you, this training is not for you. To support this level of work the group will be kept small and participants will be expected to make a commitment for the entire block.
