The Dynamics of Relationships

Post-graduate Development Opportunities and Professional Applications

Five Wisdoms in your chosen profession

Therapy, coaching, social work, health professions, education, martial arts teaching, business, families, and so forth

You use Five Wisdoms in your chosen profession. As the core teachings of the Five Wisdom Energies are on personalities, emotions, and relationships, they are helpful in all settings where you are working with people. They enable you to fully enter another's world to align with their sanity and use their stuck places as work points. Doing Five Modes Presentations in a supervision group with an experienced facilitator is highly recommended.

Presenting and Facilitating

As a Five Wisdoms Professional you can design ways to present the Five Wisdoms and facilitate exercises. The Five Wisdoms Training is sufficient for you to be able to do this. However, coaching may help you to do it more skillfully. You may use the Five Wisdom Energies and Natural Brilliance books and request permission to use materials from the Five Wisdoms Training workbooks. Coaching is encouraged but not required.

Creative Projects

Presenting and Facilitating

The Five Wisdom Energies open up vast possibilities for creative expression. Supervision is not necessary but could make it more fun!
