What is CAT?
CAT is a way to wind yourself out of emotional & behavioral patterns that are not serving you, a way to get more of what you want from life. I can offer sessions for people to sample this by phone so you can understand how powerful it can be. (See CAT Session for Individuals). This class allows you to begin to better be able to use it with yourself and others. If you are a quick study with this type of work, you may be able to fully run CAT sessions with other people and even to teach CAT to others by the end of the course. If you are not, we can do refresher courses for your group too. I prefer to teach classes for groups of 6 to 12 people but I might be willing to make an exception for a smaller group, especially if any of the students in the group is a leader or instructor of other things or strategic to waking up the population in some other manner. I can teach much larger groups if I bring in some other instructors from our team to help out. If you think you might have trouble getting together a group of people, I am sure we can find people in the time bank to help with that. The other people in the class do not have to be time bank members. They could choose to pay for the course through gift economy instead, or they could join the time bank.
How long does it take?
A class is normally 2 days of approximately 7 hours of class time per day to teach CAT unless people want more practice for a 3rd day. If the people taking the class can't meet for 7 hours per day, the class can also be broken up into more days of smaller blocks of time and/or skip days. As the instructor, I need a place to stay during that time. If food is not provided, then I need the cost of food and gas/tolls covered or else we can try to negotiate about it for time credits depending on the specifics.
Negotiating costs of gas or tolls
I often am in the Belfast area, but sometimes I might be in other areas of Maine since I do travel around the state of Maine and other states. If I am not local to you, I will probably need to be reimbursed for gas and tolls. Exceptions to this are 1) when I work with community leaders or instructors who will be able to teach our material to a lot of other people too so I might be willing to forego the transportation costs and/or 2) enthusiastic students who can gather a significant group together so it's much less money to split the cost among them and/or 3) even more awesome is when I have a teacher who collects a group of other teachers so we can make the whole thing go viral and really impact the planet for the better even faster and/or 4) when I live with someone for a week or more and we trade a little bodywork every day which I can teach you how to do on me and I can get a lot of writing done at the place where I’m staying.
What if you can’t reach me right away
Because I travel to teaching locations where there is no internet available and/or little to no cell phone reception, it may be best to text me first because texts will have the best chance of getting through in a poor reception area. If you do not hear from me within 24 hours, please repeat the message again. You can feel free to email me for messages that require longer content or file transfer, but you may also probably want to text me so that I am aware of the message more quickly.
