SPIRITUAL LIFE COACHING WITH SATVATOVE INSTITUTE:
An Opportunity for a Fulfilling Career of Service to the Highest Aspirations of Humanity
The Satvatove Institute 
School of Transformative Coaching (SISTC) offers you an opportunity to master the art and science of spiritual life coaching. Principles and Practices of Transformative Coaching (PPTC), the foundational coach training course of SISTC, emphasizes the science of self-realization as a basis for facilitating others to achieve a life of profound fulfillment and extraordinary accomplishment.
“Science” indicates an experiential process within the context of a sound and complete philosophical model. Transformative Communication, as the theoretical and applied framework for the spiritual life coaching practiced and taught at Satvatove, provides principles for self-development solidly grounded in ancient wisdom traditions, integrated into an experiential learning model aligned with the most powerful, cutting edge practices of the human potential movement. This combination, unique to Satvatove Institute’s spiritual life coaching program, supports and challenges you to excellence, to being a potent force for your clients to live a life of sublime purpose that springs from the essence of their being.
Capacity to coach others is strongly correlated with the personal development of the coach, and thus PPTC focuses, along with training in skills, techniques and principles, on cultivating the self-awareness of the coach. By participating in Satvatove’s spiritual life coaching program, you’ll find your own personal spiritual realizations deepened and strengthened.
“The personal development aspect of the Satvatove Transformative Coaching Training Program has moved me a few quantum leaps forward in my intra-personal, interpersonal and spiritual growth. And, because of the incredible coaching skills I gained from Satvatove’s spiritual life coaching course, Principles and Practices of Transformative Coaching, I’ve had the confidence to step up and establish my Spiritual Life Coaching practice. I sincerely appreciate the depth of understanding about principles of coaching and transformation. This empowers me to be wise and flexible in supporting clients to discover paradigm-busting insights. Now I’m able to serve others, usually with remarkable results, doing something that is profoundly rewarding for me, and be well compensated financially for doing it.”

“Satvatove’s spiritual life coaching program has been one of the most powerful, enriching and transformative experiences in my life. I started the program wanting to develop and expand my ability to serve others in their personal growth and healing. I got so much more than what I could have envisaged or even bargained for! The service I wanted to give to others I found first for my own self through this program… I found the structure of the program very enlivening and empowering – within this structure I found enough framework to guide me alongside plenty of space to apply and integrate my own creativity and ideas. The content of this spiritual life coaching program was challenging, stretching and supportive. What I especially appreciated was that it was well-rounded and balanced… And lastly but definitely not least, the amount of care, support and nurturance I experienced throughout the program was a gift unsurpassed. All the energy and effort I put into the program I received a thousand-fold in return through unconditional support, constant care and compassionate challenge. I feel very fortunate and grateful for the opportunity this program offered by Satvatove.”

“By going through the Satvatove spiritual life coaching program I entered deeply into what I believe is our nature – we all have the potential to manifest qualities that contribute to making the world a better place, because those qualities are inside each of us. The coach training powerfully supported me to manifest the qualities I have inside and offer them to the world. The integration of grounded and powerful skill development on a foundation of genuine spiritual principles makes the Satvatove coaching process complete. The Transformative Communication approach to coaching and coach training offers unmatched support to anyone who is interested in excellent communication, clear relationships and personal growth. This has been a tremendous experience in establishing myself as a coaching professional.”

FROM MARIE
“Recently I attended the Level 3 Workshop: An Adventure in Conscious Living. I am filled with gratitude for the experience and for those who made the journey with me. The workshop was brilliantly designed so that it was perfect for my self-development and spiritual realization. The rich, vital experience was filled with blessings and resulted in lasting changes. Through it I am learning about living as a distinction.
I have been attending Satvatove workshops for a little over a year. All the workshops have been life-changing experiences. The Level 3 adventure, however, has been the most powerful experience I have had so far. During the thrill-filled four days, I found the “1″ that makes the string of zeros valuable. In the process of finding the “1″, I also let go of baggage that I thought would be forever with me. There wasn’t as much ripping out the weeds from the garden of the heart as in earlier workshops. This workshop was more about watering the flowers. My heart feels open, at last, with a tremendous new sense of peace, calm, and acceptance of myself and others that I have not known before. My heart is flourishing. Recently, as I was having computer problems, I noticed that I responded with calm rather than reacting with anger and a desire to destroy my laptop. For a Luddite like me, that’s truly an amazing breakthrough.”

CREATING WITH OUR WORD
In The Beginning Was The Word
Just as the supreme creates with the word, we too create our lives with our word. Self-reflection is a core principle in personal growth, and it can be especially illuminating to consider our relationship with our word. In the Vedic tradition there is a literature called Upadeshamrita, or The Nectar of Instruction. The book concludes with a depiction of the most elevated spiritual consciousness, and it starts with a description of the importance of effective management of our words, for anyone interested in spiritual progress.
In the transformative communication seminars that I conduct we ask participants to examine the effects of kept and broken agreements. Typically, experiences and feelings connected with violated agreements include hurt, embarrassment, anger, betrayal, confusion, lack of clarity, disappointment and feeling devalued. Agreements honored are usually related with experiences such as trust, gratitude, responsibility, fulfillment, security, clarity, and respect. The purpose of such examination is not to moralize about the importance of keeping our promises. It’s about realizing how our relationship with our word affects our experience of life.
In this regard I suggest that there aren’t big or small agreements. Consider, for example, that I say, “I’ll call you tomorrow,” and I don’t call. We may think, “It’s no big deal.” With respect to our relationship, however, will the consequences noted above be in effect? Probably they will. At some level, your trust for me will likely diminish, and our relationship will be less whole.
Commitment is essential for self-development. Without it, we’re likely not going to significantly expand our possibilities and comfort zone. When we make agreements, we’ll probably find that, despite our best efforts, we sometimes don’t follow through. A strategy for handling broken agreements with integrity is a valuable tool for restoring relationships.
The Five As
An effective approach is the “five As”, which are 1) Acknowledge, 2) Accept responsibility, 3) Account, 4) Apologize, and 5) Amend. “Acknowledge” means to recognize that we have a broken agreement, and to express this to the person whom we transgressed. Accepting responsibility, the second of the As, denotes realization that I responded in a particular way that caused me to not honor my word. The third A is Account. Expression of accountability consists of genuinely explaining what happened. Apology is the fourth A, and it’s noteworthy that it’s fourth, not first. Oftentimes we act like apology is the first and only step in effectively handling a broken agreement. “I’m sorry” can be more about my need to restore my image, than about sincerely reinstating the soundness of the relationship. Amend is the fifth A, and consists of actively redressing the situation.
A Culture Of Trust
‘Tis a season for making resolutions, when we consider things we can do to better our lives. This is a powerful opportunity to enhance the culture of trust in our relationships, and within ourselves. My proposal is that we invoke special awareness of the effects in our life and relationships when we make an agreement and keep it.
