We are excited about taking people to the next level of their journey! For those who want to dive in to learning the concepts that lead to living a life that radiates peace, joy, and handling relationships like a Jedi master, we are offering a program including individual and group sessions dedicated to learning on an ever-deepening level. You can learn simply for your own growth and edification, of course, AND those who complete these levels may also be eligible to be invited to become independent contractor coaches on our site (subject to PCW’s rigorous approval standards).
These group sessions are designed to teach Bowen Theory concepts to those who like to learn and internalize theory on another level, to have a direct result on your own life and behaviors. If you have enjoyed or resonated with our YouTube videos and our coaching styles and you want to know how to think, understand, and talk like we do, what you are wanting to learn is Bowen concepts.
The group sessions are taught by our most experienced coaches to deepen knowledge of concepts that can be applied to all relationships and systems, from the interpersonal level to community, city, state, and even the multi-national level. If you want to learn to think and talk like our coaches, (and ultimately one day perhaps be your own coach or coach others) then this is the program for you! Because this is not a program for the faint of heart, we liken it to military training! We are going to put you through your intellectual, emotional, and spiritual paces to get you to your goals. Come ready to learn and grow, cry and (emotionally) puke, and learn to become a differentiated “immovable object” that can resist the most “irresistible force!”
We have divided our group offerings into three phases. Each group will meet weekly for 1.5 hours and will also have weekly individual coaching session requirements on top of the group sessions. We have learned that this is the best way to support true change and give each person the opportunities needed to work through their issues in a way that maintains motivation and progression.
Phase One – Boot Camp
Time: Monday Evenings 6:30-8:00pm EST Cost: $400/month (includes 3 weekly group sessions per month) When: Groups will begin when a minimum number of participants are signed up.) Where: Online via Zoom/Secure Video
All participants will start with this level: Boot Camp. Even if you think you may be more advanced in your understanding of these concepts, we will still cover lots of ground at a base level that will be built upon as we progress through the levels. (The instructors may waive this level on a case by case basis and after an interview/session, and/or you can show a lot of training in Bowen concepts from classwork at the Bowen Institute, for example, or have been a Bowen practitioner for some time.) There will be required reading materials to have completed before the group sessions, and we will be having you “drink from a firehose” in terms of learning. There is a lot of info to cover, and a lot of emotional work to be done before you will be ready to graduate from Boot Camp. But when you do, you will be ready for…
Time: Tuesday Evenings 6:30-8:00pm EST Cost: $500/month (includes 3 weekly group sessions per month) When: Groups will begin when a minimum number of participants are signed up.) Where: Online via Zoom/Secure Video
For those who have been able to demonstrate knowledge of Bowen basics in Boot Camp, we offer a deeper dive into your own work and a continued path to less emotional reactivity to the world. We won’t pull any punches, this level is about “how bad do you want it??” We may use other techniques that we are trained in (Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, etc.) to take you to deeper levels of healing. We want you to become less anxious in your systems, and the only way to do that is to deal with your own stuff. Come ready to lock-and-load, we are going to go for more, true, inner-peace concepts and put them into practice in our own lives. If you graduate from this level, you will be ready for…
Time: Wednesday Evenings 6:30-8:00pm EST Cost: $600/month (includes 3 weekly group sessions per month) When: Groups will begin when a minimum number of participants are signed up.) Where: Online via Zoom/Secure Video
This level is for the mighty and courageous. We will delve deep into polishing you into a beautiful gemstone full of peace. This is a course about finding the core of who you really are, and using subtle finesse to find any remaining pockets that need refinement. In theory, you could stay in this class for as long as you’d like to keep learning. This is a journey and not a destination, after all. You will be exposed to material and meet people who are uncommon in not only their peace, but their understanding of relationships as well. If you want to become one of those rare people you’ve met who seem to be able to navigate even difficult interpersonal interactions with ease, share themselves from a place of deep wisdom, and radiate and exude joy and peace… keep going and become a member of the Upper Echelon. You’ll never do anything harder, and you’ll never do anything more worth it.
You need to show that you are working with your own Bowen-trained coach or therapist. The groups will not provide the individual support that will be needed to work through everything we will be covering. The coaches on our site are well-equipped to help you on your journey, but you may attend individual coaching/therapy with the professional of your choice. Coaches/therapists that are not trained in Bowen concepts may struggle with helping you work through what is presented, so we highly recommend that you find a professional that is trained in these concepts.
Groups that you cannot attend are non-refundable or transferable.
Group sessions will be held virtually via our encrypted video service utilizing the Zoom platform. Technical questions/difficulties should be asked before the group session begins. We will help you connect however we can.
Payments for group are made through the scheduling calendar under Nancy Sjuts’s profile. Payment will be required on the first of the month when you start the group. Individual sessions can be booked with the coach of your choice.
Groups are considered confidential…what you hear in group stays in group. Each member will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement to honor all participants privacy for what they share in group.
You can stay in your group level for as long as you wish, but graduation to the next level must be approved by the coaches. These evaluations will be handled privately on a case-by-case basis between the coach and the group member.
Holiday Policy
If the group session lands on, (or perhaps very near), a major US holiday, we will reschedule the group meeting for another day nearby on the calendar. This will be discussed with the group prior to the holiday so plans can be made in advance to allow group members to adjust their schedules. If this means we will have fewer than 3 group sessions in a month, we will add/make-up another group time for full value.
Estimated time frames for each group level – it is basically impossible to predict how long any given person would need to be in any group. We can say that we believe true, long-lasting change takes time, so that a minimum of one year in each level seems highly likely. It honestly depends on the level of humility of each participant, and the level of issues that need to be addressed (trauma, mental health concerns, etc.)
