The Community Learning Model
The Community Learning Model (CLM) is an approach that I have formulated after training thousands of people just like you. I am extremely observant and attentive to what is working and what is not in general. Therefore, during and certainly after each cohort I have always upgraded, shifted, and improved my training. This is how it has expanded from just a few people in my living room, to thousands of people from all around the world. never wanted to offer an online training becuase I was limited in my imagination and understanding of how I would immolate the deep connection and ceremony that was experienced in person. How would I replace the potluck lunches we had each day? or the babies running around all free and barefoot? or the tears….how would we hold each other when one felt triggered? However, what I have learned now after hosting dozens of online cohorts is that technology affords us the ability to be connected in ways that can truly transform us. We meet from all corners of the earth, through language barriers, timezones, cultural nuances, religious variety….Some of us will never be pregnancy or give birth. While others have many children. It's through these experiences that this learning model emerged!
The Community Learning Model (CLM) is a multi-facetd approach to curating learning experiences in virtual space that foster connection, supports varying learning styles, and holds the participants accountable. This is also the solution to supporting with integration and embodiment. The CLM consist of:
—intimate learning pods
—encourages self-directed learning
—group and individual project/ activities
—collective responsibility and accountability
—non-hierchal learning support
—learning through teaching and sharing
—connection to a wider community
—mentorship
—co-working and debrief sessions (study group)
—self-determined pacing of the material
—resources!!
—continual education
The virtual circle is a curated community that is for parents and practitioners who support parents. Within this portal you will find various offerings, some recurring and others as series. Throughout the years we have recorded and archived our offerings, workshops, and classes. Therefore, you will have access to hundreds of hours of pre-recorded material that cover various topics like body literacy, wellness, birth work, parenting, self-development, etc. When you sign up for the training you will gain immediate access to Virtual Circle for 12 months as included in your registration. This is where you will also find the links for our live sessions, the recordings in case you miss it or want to circle back, and our own private group for those within the training.
