Patricia Ellsberg – The Emergence Process Advanced Practicum

The Emergence Process is transformative as it guides you to experience, live, and express your Essence in the world, and inspire others to do the same.

You will be guided by transformational teacher Patricia Ellsberg, and inspired teachings from her sister, Barbara Marx Hubbard, as well as a team of Senior Emergence Process Facilitators for whom living as Essence has become the very foundation of their lives.

Through The Emergence Process Advanced Practicum, you will learn and help others to:

• Experience a place of peace, ease and inspiration as you leave behind the concerns, pressures, compulsions and stress of your daily life
• Incarnate your Essential Self, becoming the Beloved you have been seeking
• Awaken a loving presence within you and live as loving awareness
• Release the illusion of separation, letting ego guide you to Essence
• Find your true purpose, with your ego aligned with and in service to your Essence
• Heal long-held “sacred wounds” within you, transforming limiting beliefs and developing strategies that empower you
• Surrender the “figuring out mind” to access higher intuition
• Allow your life to re-pattern, deliberately releasing what no longer serves you
• Develop your own authentic power and discover greater flow in your work and life, seamlessly blending being and doing
• Commit to taking steps that manifest your life’s passion
• Create a support team and find a community with whom to co-create

Also, as you learn to facilitate each of the 10 Steps of the Emergence Process with others you will be guided to:

• Transmit the “Essence” of each step in your own way
• Create and facilitate Emergence Circles
• Cultivate group resonance
• Sustain and deepen a “resonant field”
• Speak and inspire others to speak from Essence
• Honor the silence
• Listen deeply
• Lead attunements and powerful guided meditations

Now is the time to deepen your experience of Emergence, expand your knowledge, share your wisdom and your gifts. The Emergence Process Advanced Practicum offers you powerful teachings, practices and a community of support if you are called to evolve yourself and the world.
What You’ll Discover in This 24-Week Practicum
Each LIVE training session will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to permanently sustain your Emergence and catalyze it in others.

Each week Patricia Ellsberg, along with Senior Emergence Facilitators, will support you to breakthrough to your highest potential and live more fully as your Essential Self. For each of the 10 Steps, two weeks will be devoted to delving in deeply. There will be time for you to share your experience of each Step, and your successes and challenges.

You will also receive guidance on how to share each Step with others. You will be invited to engage in regular practice sessions where you learn to teach the material and lead Emergence Circles. Additional practice sessions will be offered throughout the course for those who want to receive more guidance from Patricia and the Facilitation Team.

You will be encouraged to find an “Emergence Process partner” or participate in an Emergence Circle, and meet at least once to discuss each step. You’ll be supported in finding these partners among either the participants in the course or from your own circle of friends and can meet virtually or in person.

You will also have access to a dynamic online community to discuss and practice the teachings with fellow participants. Senior Emergence Facilitators will be available to offer individual advice and support.

The main course sessions will air live from 5 pm to 7 pm Pacific/ 8-10 pm Eastern time on Mondays. However, even if you cannot make the live calls, you can still get the full benefit of this training.

We have also incorporated the invaluable feedback that we have received from Patricia’s students and graduates to create the most powerful online format we have offered at the Shift Network for transformational learning and practice.

Here are just a few of the ways we have enriched this 24-week Advanced program

Longer, more in-depth teachings and lectures
Expanded one-on-one and Q&A sessions with Patricia
In-depth instruction into the nuances of the key practices and tools
Improved community building/support formats
Plus much more

This one-of-kind advanced training is a rare opportunity to work with a powerfully transformative process at a much deeper level, to suffuse virtually every area of your life with the gifts of greater consciousness, presence, and depth.

If you are truly ready to dive deep into the transformative field of Emergence and are called to embody and express your potential more fully in this life, this 24-week Advanced Practicum with Patricia Ellsberg is the perfect training for you.
