Facilitators’ Training & Accreditation Program

The Transformation Game

Facilitators’ Training & Accreditation Program
With Originator Joy Drake

Oct. 28 - Nov. 6th, 2010 Asheville, NC USA

A 10 day non-residential program designed for counselors, therapists and others intending to use the Transformation Game on a deeper level. This training sharpens leadership abilities, deepens self-awareness and understanding, and assists in developing communication and counseling skills.

Participants receive thorough training in the expanded rules and mechanics of the Transformation Game from the originators of the process. These rules allow players to experience their process to a far greater depth and sophistication than in the box game.

The training also includes an exploration of key topics, discussions of difficult cards, demonstrations of technique, and opportunities to practice facilitation. Sessions are supervised and provide constructive personal feedback with an ongoing assessment of competence. This intense immersion in the Game accelerates learning, and stimulates deep self-reflection and spiritual revelations. Throughout the program, trainees receive a high degree of masterful attention from the Game’s originators as well as teachings that emerge from their creative partnership with the Transformation Game Deva.

Participants who successfully complete the training are accredited by InnerLinks to use the Advanced Manual in facilitating Transformation Games in workshop formats. They also receive the permission of InnerLinks to use The Transformation Game name and logo to promote their workshops. These are copyrighted and may only be used professionally by people accredited through this training.

To ensure ample personal attention we will take only 5 participants in the training. You need to have a good working knowledge of the basic Transformation box Game rules to be accepted for the training. We recommend playing the box game at least 4-5 times before applying for training.

One month before the start of the training we will send you a copy of the Facilitator’s Manual of advanced rules so that you have some time to study and facilitate at least three practice games using the Manual before the training begins. Familiarity with the Manual is important as a base so that other aspects of facilitation can be addressed in the program.

A fee of $2700 (USD) covers tuition and all training materials. As space is limited if you do not prepay for the entire program, deposit of $600 is required ($400 of which is non- refundable, non-transferable) by March 1st to reserve your place. The balance of the tuition fee is due one month before the beginning of the training.

The Planetary Game

The Planetary Game

An invocation of spiritual partnership, inspiration and grace

June 19-25, 2010

With Joy Drake and Kathy Tyler

creators of the Angel® Cards and The Transformation Game®

Mary Inglis and InnerLinks faculty

We invite you to join us in making a contribution to the world situation which will be transformative both on individual and collective levels.

The Planetary Game is a large-scale version of the Game of Transformation. Involving up to 120 participants in five Playing Areas, it weaves together elements of innovative group work and ritual in a sacred theatre setting.

The Planetary Game is an invocation of spiritual partnership, inspiration and grace that allows the plan of love, light and power to illuminate the minds, hearts, choices and actions of humanity.

We are each a fractal of the whole, of the soul and body of humanity, of the soul and body of the world. The currents of our times - turbulence and transition, peril and promise - move through and come to focus in each one of us.   We have a unique opportunity and task: to contain and hold these trends within ourselves and, from this alchemical process, to allow the makings of a new consciousness to emerge and give shape to new forms.

This is what we aim to do in the Planetary Game: to become alchemical containers, individually and together, and to bring forth new aspects and expressions of wholeness in ourselves, our relationships, our work, our finances and governance, and our connections to the earth.   It is an opportunity for us to allow a soul-full shift, letting this express in and through each one of us, uniquely, as well as through the Planetary Game group. In this way we also contribute to grounding new holistic patterns of consciousness and action in the world, patterns that honour the diversity that we each bring to the ecology of our shared planetary life.

This is not something we all yet know how to do. There is no definitive recipe for the alchemical process of turning lead into gold!   The Planetary Game will be a process of discovery and exploration that requires us to bring all our experience, wisdom and intention present.

We would like this Planetary Game to be a living prayer and active blessing, in which we ourselves become the prayer, become the blessing.   We invite you to join us and add your passion, power and purpose to the sacred pageantry and world work that we will co-create together as we engage our collective capacity to generate positive pathways and presence in today's changing world.

We Intend to cultivate a spirit of partnership with the sacred within

allowing and bringing forth new patterns of consciousness
and expressions of wholeness

The Game will begin with you choosing one of the five Playing Areas to work in. Each Playing Area represents a particular aspect of human activity. As we are all involved in all of them, collectively we will deepen into each of them and learn from the interplay between them.

Within your chosen Area, you will then formulate an intention that is personally meaningful for you, and select the role you want to take: Player, Insight, Setback, Angel, or Witness.

Play then commences and costumed participants representing the Playing Areas use a die, free will or intuition to move along a life-sized Game path on the floor. Different squares present opportunities for interaction, growth, breakthroughs, recognition of shared strengths and challenges, and learning from one another's work.

Those familiar with the Transformation Game know its remarkable ability to lovingly and accurately reach to the heart of any issue and provide valuable options for change.   With grace, wisdom, and humor we can catalyse inner resources, and empower each other to find loving, innovative, and soul-infused ways to respond to the promise and challenge of this time on Earth.

Transitions and Breakthoughs Transformation Game

‘TRANSITIONS AND BREAKTHROUGHS’

An Exploration of Spiritual Alchemy

Transformation Game Workshop facilitated by Joy Drake
May 14-16, Asheville, North Carolina
$345 per player*

Are you currently in a transition?
Do you feel something new is emerging that you would like to explore?

A Transitions and Breakthroughs weekend is an opportunity to evolve out of your old ways of being and doing, and step more fully into who you truly are and what you are here to do. The experience allows you to recharge your spiritual connections and let your desire for self-knowledge, authenticity, divine connection and direction become a reality.

The Transitions and Breakthroughs process is facilitated using an expanded version of the Transformation Game, and enhanced by the presence and inspiration of angels, and the creative interaction of a group of six participants who share a sincere desire to make a major shift in their lives. This unique combination of ingredients creates a powerful transformational field that accelerates self-discovery and healing for everyone. We will support one another's growth with heightened awareness, wisdom and compassion, creating conditions in which grace-filled breakthroughs can occur. As we engage fully and wholeheartedly in the dance of life we will expand the boundaries of our known worlds, honor conceptual, emotional, and spiritual changes, and celebrate newly emerging possibilities in one another and ourselves.

Each participant will build a personal playing intention around the theme of Transitions and Breakthroughs that is unique to their current life situation. Many aspects of transition and breakthrough can be explored including entering the unknown, releasing the past, passages, evolution, opening to the new, mystery and birth, discovering hidden passions, recognizing and nurturing creative ideas. Players use their own experiences, interests, concerns, dreams and understandings as a springboard for focused exploration in the Game.

Joy Drake, the co-originator of the Transformation Game, will be the facilitator. One of Joy’s passions is helping players interpret Game messages in ways that deepen their spiritual understanding and empowerment as they navigate life’s transitions. This Transitions and Breakthroughs workshop is an exceptional opportunity to receive a high degree of masterful attention and benefit from Joy’s grace, expertise, and creative partnership with the Transformation Game Deva.

"The Transformation Game truly offered me a chance to have a sacred inner dialogue with my highest self. I received information, guidance, clarity and specific direction. I feel blessed by this beautiful and effective instrument of change in the world."
