October 2011, Exmoor "Sacred Love" Module

A magical transformative week in a stunning location that allowed for experiential learning of Breathwork and Rebirthing modalities.
A planetary family coming together to explore the mysteries of deepening awareness and conscious living through Learning process.
Many thanks again
Sarah

I´m so grateful that my guidance brought me to this training, as it is amazing how this first module affected my life in a very positive way. I feel incredible peaceful and so much love after this week, no matter which challenges appear.
Doug and Brigitte held such a beautiful and supportive space, that I could go to very deep unresolved places in myself and felt safe to do that.
I love the fact that you can experience a man and a woman working togheter in such wonderful way, complementing each other with their different skills.
They helped me to turn my weaknesses into strength and see my individual gifts.
The whole group felt like a loving family supporting each other in every aspect.
I already feel excitement about the next module in February.
With Gratitude

A sense of connection and freedom is what I have experienced after just one week of training. The group was wonderful and the trainers support and presence unconditional. The transformation happening is very profound and I feel that there is no turning back for me. I have now made some room for the real me and people are noticing it. They tell me that I look different and that they sense peace in me. They all want to know what it is that I have done and I tell them that I have been reborn and learned to breathe again. It is good to be here! Thank you for the AIR :-D

Just came home after an intensive rebirthingweek with Brigitte, Doug and the rest of the breath family.
I´m surprised how GOOD I feel, I´m so HAPPY. It seemes like some emotional baggage was released
during that week we shared together. And what replaced the baggage was pure JOY and LOVE.
- I think I´m falling in love with myself. It´s a journey, and I´m on my way there:)
THANK YOU, and looking forward the next module together.

This testimonial is addressed to anyone who is considering going through the Rebirther training course with the Avalon Institute of Rebirthing. Since I have now completed all four training modules and am in the final year of supervision I thought it appropriate to share my experience of the course for others who might be looking to embark upon it.

First of all – a little of my own background in Rebirthing. Before taking the course with Doug and Brigitte I had already completed several weeks Rebirther trainings with other training schools. I knew what I was looking for though was a training where the more intuitive elements of Rebirthing would be balanced with a thoroughly grounded and practical approach and this is exactly what Doug and Brigitte offer. From my initial conversations with Doug at AIR and the information provided, I saw that the course was well thought out, well structured and complying with all training requirements of the British Rebirthing Society and the IBTA. This obvious sense of structure is partly what led me to choosing AIR as the training provider I would complete my Rebirthing Training with. Plus – I have to say – they photograph well and are definitely as friendly and welcoming as they appear on their website!

The course itself if very holistic – I think it’s written on the website that the training is ‘multidimensional’ – this is certainly true and a number of different approaches to learning are taken. What this does is give the participant a real breadth of understanding in the different ways one can actually learn and assimilate information. There are lots of different perspectives to Rebirthing and having completed the training I feel I’ve had a very rounded experience which I knew I was lacking prior to the training. In addition to all the practical work on the course, what I found immensely useful, was the reading material – again, there are many perspectives and ways in to Rebirthing and the extensive reading list really helped to increase my awareness and understanding of the different approaches to Rebirthing.

Regarding the trainers, Doug and Brigitte complement each other very well. They will support you all the way through. They each bring very different skills to the course so you get a lot of benefit from this. Doug is the most attentive facilitator I’ve ever met and you will see very quickly why he has so many clients. Brigitte is the presence and the glue which for me, holds it all together. They each give you an opportunity to learn in very different ways. This gives a lot of balance to the course. PLUS – the additional ‘guest’ teachers that appeared on a couple of modules were extremely enlightening and again, this all adds to your understanding of different approaches.

One thing that really stands out for me about this training is the commitment both Doug and Brigitte show to the participants throughout. They are absolutely committed to your learning and your training as a Rebirther. I cannot emphasise this enough. It’s been six months now since I completed the last training module and I still have a call every two weeks to review my progress and get support in setting up my practice, which to me is just phenomenal.

Another aspect of the course which I think is really useful – lots of practical experience of working through the whole process of taking on clients! This includes everything from initial advertising to putting together a website, from taking that first call from a client (they make you do this as a practice run on the course – excruciating but very useful) to counselling skills and client interaction and of course, rebirthing others. This is very much a practical training. Challenging but supportive, this really puts you in the position of being a professional Rebirther and for me, was a crucial element of the course.

One more thing. It says on the AIR website that embarking on the AIR Rebirthing Course will ‘change you and the world as you know it’ and that ‘you probably will not recognise your life by the time you complete the training’. Well, this was true for me, but in ways I could never have expected. That’s between me and the breath, but I give my profound thanks to Doug and Brigitte for being my guides along the way. I salute and acknowledge them both as my Rebirthing trainers. If you want to train to become a professional Rebirther, I recommend them to you completely.

Best of luck!

There’s also the advantage of having both male and female rebirthers on the course for your own rebirthing experience.
