Are you already working in a relationship with others in a coaching capacity and seeking a model to work more deeply and intimately with your client’s inner world?
Coaching with Spirit: Level Two provides coaches with a map of the human psyche. In other words, it describes how the psyche works in fairly simple terms. And so we have a working model of what’s happening in our clients.
It’s a way of respectfully entering the client’s internal system and attuning to how that system wishes to change because the system wants to change. It wants to evolve. And if we’re able to enter it with deep respect, like we’re entering something sacred, we can collaborate with the client in activating the natural healing properties of their own system.
The client already has the wisdom to heal. We just help them leverage their own internal resources. So it’s a map and a method.
It also becomes a way of life. Because as you begin to understand how our psyches protect themselves and liberate themselves, it changes how we view ourselves and how we view others. We become more compassionate.
Guthrie Sayen developed the program and will be the Lead Trainer. Tune in to this short video to hear from Guthrie directly.
Coaching with Spirit: Level Two is for people who have training in either coaching, therapy, spiritual direction, or anything else that allows them to have deep conversations with others.
So people who have developed their listing skills and also their skills around inquiry so that they know how to ask a question that invites people to go on an internal journey.
More about the Program:
CWS Level 2 is a deep dive into a powerful, non-pathologizing coaching model adapted from Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems model called Parts Work.
This training is designed for coaches, psychotherapists, licensed counselors, and spiritual directors who want to incorporate this coaching model into their offering. The course offers 48 ICF-Approved CCE.
Even if your training was not through our Coaching With Spirit program, you may still qualify to enter our Coaching With Spirit Level 2 Training.
CWS Level 2 will transform you and your clients. It will help you heal old wounds and awaken to your full potential as both a human and a spiritual being. And that will empower you to participate in your clients’ healing and awakening.
The training synthesizes three big ideas: multiplicity, Self, and systems thinking.
Multiplicity: The human psyche is naturally multiple. We all have many parts or subpersonalities. When healed, these parts are wonderful resources that support intimacy, creativity, and wise action.
Self: This is the awake, aware center of every human, and it can be accessed more easily than most people imagine, by treating parts with respect and asking them to open space for Self.
Systems thinking: Our parts relate to each other in patterned ways. We need to understand that parts function in an ecosystem, that every part affects other parts.
Turning these ideas into a practical tool for working with clients requires deepening your understanding of the theory, seeing demonstrations of effective coaching, and supervised practice. That is what you will get in Coaching With Spirit Level 2.
Coaching With Spirit is our most popular non-academic program and many of our students have been attracted to this Certification in addition to their graduate education.
Do you believe that coaches are here to heal the world, to help end suffering, to bring the light of love to others? The creator of our Coaching with Spirit (CWS), Guthrie Sayen, would say so and he adds, “To do that, we must heal ourselves. We must come home to ourselves, so we can help others make the same journey home. We are bearers of light.”
“The road to mastery leads through the temple of your own heart. Your heart contains every treasure you are looking for. When you uncover your own light, you can help others uncover theirs.”
Would you like to Facilitate Transformation in Others?
We asked Guthrie, “What have you learned about yourself while teaching Coaching With Spirit?”
We are attaching some of his words of wisdom below as well as his recent video interview – if you would like to experience the depth of conversation which is waiting for you tonight! We often think that our pain comes from our circumstances: our job, our finances, our partner, our lack of a partner, our overloaded schedules, our childhood wounds. Whatever it is, it seems to stand in the way of our happiness and to prevent us from answering our deeper calling.
Here’s the paradox. The circumstance we most want to change or remove is the doorway to the treasures we seek. Pain is the portal to self-acceptance, a self-acceptance that is so deep that it transforms how we relate to ourselves, to others, to the source of all life and love.
You arrived here because you are called. Your calling shows up as curiosity, confusion, or discomfort. Your discomfort or pain—sometimes in the background, sometimes in the foreground—is a gift. Your pain is your bridge from where you are to where you long to be.
One way to cross the bridge is to go on the inner journey of self-acceptance. Do you want to learn more about this journey?
Another way to cross the bridge is to find your soul’s purpose, that is, your deepest calling, the reason you were born. Do you want to find your soul’s purpose?
Finally, you may be a coach who wants to cross the bridge into full mastery of your unique set of gifts. Do you want to go deeper in your own process so that you take your clients deeper? Do you feel called to bring more light into the world through coaching?

Do you ever ask yourself: why can’t I do for myself what I am doing for my clients?
Coaches often harbor a secret sense of not being good enough. Few things are more painful than being called and feeling that you are falling short at your calling.
Your pain is the hidden door into who you are and what you are most skilled at doing for others. This is true no matter where you are in your career, whether you are a coach in training or a competent coach moving into mastery or a master coach moving into artistry.
We often think that our pain comes from our circumstances: our job, our finances, our partner, our lack of a partner, our overloaded schedules, our childhood wounds. Whatever it is, it seems to stand in the way of our happiness and to prevent us from answering our deeper calling.

Coaches are here to heal the world, to end suffering, to bring the light of love to others. To do that, we must heal ourselves. We must come home to ourselves, so we can help others make the same journey home. We are bearers of light. We are technicians of the sacred.
