Become a Life Coach! Change Lives for the Better!

Are people naturally drawn to you? Do people feel safe with you and tell you their intimate stories? Have you basically been a “life coach” most, if not all, of your life? If so, then perhaps it’s time to take your gift to the next level?!

“One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through
and it will become someone else’s survival guide.”

In this training, Peter will assist you to take what you already know and what you already do and adapt that skill set into a life coaching model! Your “Super Powers” are in all the life challenges and obstacles you have overcome. Your story is the guidebook that will help many. If you are looking to move into a life work of meaning and purpose, this could be just the training for you!

The A.R.E. of New York, in conjunction with the International Coaching Institute and Peter Woodbury, is pleased to offer the Edgar Cayce Holistic Life Coach Certification Training Program May 17 to 22, 2022.

Life Coaching is a non-academic discipline in which the coach uses her or his own life skills, the lessons they’ve learned and the obstacles they’ve overcome to help others going through similar life challenges.

Peter’s Holistic Life Coaching Course incorporates a Cayce focus—which is on the innate abilities inside of everyone and the acknowledgement of an infinite soul that has access to a storehouse of information and experience.

The coach is a facilitator of a process of unfoldment, of self-discovery. The toolkit is a mind-body-spirit one, that involves meditation and prayer, dream study, suggestive therapeutics, the “mind is the builder” philosophy, working through toxic emotions, and assisting clients to find meaning and purpose in their life and experiences.

The class is divided into several segments which include lecture, question and answer periods, homework and practice. Each day, students will pair up with a fellow student to practice what has been learned that day – in the spirit of the Cayce teaching that we learn by doing!

 

Penny HaywardAbout Peter Woodbury

Peter has been a student of the Cayce work for over 30 years. About 10 years ago, he took his experience as a counselor, a former professor of counseling, and his understanding of the Cayce work, to create the original Edgar Cayce Holistic Life Coaching program for the A.R.E. in Virginia Beach. In his work as a psychotherapist, Peter began to incorporate the mind-body-spirit approach in the Cayce work to great success in helping his clients make significant and lasting changes in their lives. Peter is an accomplished teacher of both life coaching and regression hypnosis, and has had success as both a practitioner and teacher of both of these modalities. Students have enjoyed the ways he makes his experience accessible, understandable, engaging and with a healthy dose of humor!

Peter is also graduate of Harvard University and Boston University School of Social Work, where he was later a professor of counseling. He has also taught regression hypnosis at the ARE’s Atlantic University. He has taught Life Coaching and Regression Hypnosis for almost 20 years.

About the course

Some of the core teachings of Edgar Cayce revolve about these concepts:

  • Wellness is not merely the absence of disease.
  • We are physical, mental and spiritual beings and our wellness involves the coordination and balance of these 3 aspects of ourselves.
  • True wellness involves finding meaning and purpose in our lives. We are all psychic and have access to multiple layers of guidance available to us through meditation, dreams and our intuition.
  • To function at optimal levels in life we must understand and apply spiritual laws such as “like attracts like”.
  • We all have gifts, a reason to be alive at this time, and our work is to water the seed of our authentic seed. An oak will never be a good weeping willow and a sequoia will be a failure as a sycamore!

The Cayce Holistic Life Coach

  • Assists the clients to access these inner resources.
  • Sessions involve meditation, dream study, analysis of patterns, development of intuition, working through toxic emotions, suggestive therapeutics/hypnosis, working with ideals, and engaging the process of forgiveness and letting go.
  • The Cayce Life Coach is a facilitator and consistently guides the clients back to themselves and their own resources
  • The Cayce Life Coach sees themselves as a facilitator rather than the expert.
  • The client is an active participant in their sessions, with “homework” to do between sessions. The coach is never the hardest working person in the room!

The course structure:

  • The course will take place over Zoom. Students must download the program and have stable internet access.
  • Lectures will be available for 30 days after course conclusion.
  • The first 2/3 of each day will be a lecture format followed by question and answers.
  • There will be an assignment each day.
  • Students will receive a manual and other materials.
  • The final part of each day will be for practice. Students will be paired up to practice the skill set acquired earlier in the day. There will be a total of 4 such sessions.
  • To receive the certification, graduates must complete an exam.
  • Again, The course lectures will be available for 30 days after class conclusion. The exam is due within those 30 days. The exam is designed to be a learning tool and will cover the essential topics of the class. It is an “open book” test of sorts.
  • Students will receive a signed certificate in the mail once their exam is completed.
