Next Steps Towards Tamalpa Practitioner status - Resource Weekend

Advanced course for Tamalpa Teacher Training Graduates in between Level 2 and their Field Study Projects

This Advanced Course welcomes Tamalpa Teacher Training Graduates who have completed their Level 2 Embodied Leadership training with Tamalpa UK.

Taking place over the 11th & 12th April in Sandgate, Kent, the weekend is designed especially for graduates who find themselves in the percolating and at times isolating space between Level 2 and getting their field study project up and running.

If you’re beginning to shape your applied practice project and would value inspiration, guidance, and supportive structure, this weekend is for you.

Together, we will nurture the next steps in your professional journey and deepen your relationship with the Tamalpa Institute’s Life/Art Process®. The weekend offers space to reconnect, refine, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

What to expect:

• Reconnecting with your own Tamalpa practice alongside peers in a supportive community
• Guidance, resources, and practical advice for Tamalpa Practitioner Requirements
• Applied practice supervision and thoughtful mentoring
• Hands-on exploration of the RSVP model — creating simple scores, facilitating, and engaging in valuaction
• Practice sessions and case studies with focused valuaction and facilitator feedback
• Co-collaborative peer learning around shared interests and current topics

This is an opportunity to reconnect, gather inspiration, strengthen your professional voice, and step more fully towards becoming a Tamalpa Practitioner — supported by community and guided practice.
