2020 03 25 logo + mindplay_edited.png

Course Description

This course is done through 9 weekly sessions and will take place over Zoom.

Each session is approximately 3 hours in length.

You will learn the Show Me Tao Way Method (principles and format) and how to incorporate and employ the Show Me Tao Way kit  (boards and cards) into your professional practice.

The format for each session is 2 hours of class with study and practice of each new phase of the method; and the 3rd hour is left for the practitioner to provide feedback, clarification and answer any questions that may surface.

You will receive a Show Me Tao Way kit for your own personal and professional use in your practice.

After each session, you will be assigned homework to practice and solidify your grasp of the concepts covered in class.

You will be supported throughout the training course by graduates of the SMTW Training Method who will be available to answer your questions and concerns via your cohort’s dedicated WhatsApp group.

You will be assigned a buddy from the course group who will be your partner over the course of the nine weeks. The purpose of this is to support one another, reflect together and be able to rely on someone immersed in the same experience as you 

Each Monday and Thursday, Kinneret Ladizinsky-Kasif, founder of the Show Me Tao Way Method, will be available to answer questions that have arisen over the past week in your practice.

You will complete a total of 27 hours of study (not including the practicum option).
