Welcome
We are committed to the whole world waking up from the personal trance of suffering. That is our overview and our purpose. We can make a difference one heart and one mind at a time.
Our training is heart-based, so whether you are interested in certification or not, you may find immense personal value in the insights into your true nature and the nature of suffering that these courses reveal.
We are not the fastest, nor the cheapest training available. We do not believe that our program is for everyone. Our approach is unique, and as such we are looking for uniquely qualified individuals.
Being a True Friend
Our model for a therapist is called a True Friend: someone with a quiet mind, an open heart, and the skillful means for therapeutic intervention. Through exercises and practice, you will be able to be a true friend in both your personal and professional life.
Skillful Means for Working as a Coach, Guide, Healer, Therapist and True Friend
The skills we offer are broad, and cover several different modalities, which together form a coherent, effective and powerful medium for therapeutic intervention. Based on over thirty years of a life’s work, we pass on these skills to spread the possibility for true happiness in this moment.
Skillful means requires insight into your client’s presenting conditions. You will have the means to know which intervention is appropriate, and the flexibility to generate your own unique interventions.
Preparing You to Work
The skills we offer at The Leela School are for your own awakening and skillful living in the world, while also offering the possibility to be certified as a therapist to work with clients on a range of presenting issues. You will be prepared for working with clients who want to stop smoking or other addictions, as well as with clients who want to be more conscious in their lives. You will find your own area of specialization, and a way to creatively serve. The Leela School of Awakening supports world peace and freedom through universal self-realization. If your heart calls you, you are welcome here.
