Prerequisite

Before joining the training, you’ll need to book at least one 1:1 Voice Dialogue session with one of the facilitators.

This helps us make sure the work is a supportive fit for you, and that you have a direct felt experience of the work before committing.

It also gives us a chance to meet you, understand what you’re looking for, and make sure the training environment will be a supportive fit.

This session is also a space for you to sense whether the work and the training feel right for you.

How it works

You will also be living together on site, which supports informal integration and connection across the weekend.

Voice Dialogue offers a clear map of inner parts and polarities, and can deepen or sit alongside approaches such as IFS and psychosynthesis.

At the same time, the work is not only psychological. When you move into Awareness you are experiencing an expanded state of consciousness. Over time you develop your own Aware Ego Process. Through direct contact with different selves, habitual conditioned ways of being lose their grip and more and more of your own essence shines through. This is part of the transpersonal basis of Voice Dialogue, and of what gives the work its depth.

To support your process, we strongly recommend having ongoing Voice Dialogue sessions alongside the training.

Between weekends

Between weekends, you’ll receive selected reading to prepare for the next module.
This will be short articles or excerpts.

There may also be simple practice invitations to support integration, depending on the pace and needs of the group. The intention is continuity and integration, rather than creating pressure or additional workload.

Weekend learning rhythm

Across the weekend we will include:

• group circle and shared check-in,
• demonstrations of the process in the large group
• subgroups for different levels with teaching and experiential practice
• facilitation practice
• optional teaching spaces for the whole group

Curriculum

Year One

Year One gives you a clear foundation in Voice Dialogue.

Across four weekends, you will learn the core map and practise the method in a steady, supported way.

At the centre of the training is the Aware Ego process. We return to this centre again and again, each time with more awareness. Over time, you begin to recognise more clearly which part is present and to respond with more choice.

This includes not only psychological understanding, but also a deepening into awareness itself, which is central to the transpersonal basis of Voice Dialogue.

Year One lays the foundations for both inner navigation and facilitation

Year Two

Year Two focuses on relating.

Year Three

Year Three focuses on beginning to offer the work.

Looking ahead

Further curriculum details for Year Two and Year Three will be shared as the training progresses.

Year One structure

Year One is structured across four residential weekends.

Each weekend has a theme. Skills are built progressively through demonstrations, practice spaces, and integration.

(Note: some topics might slighlty change from one weekend to another depending on the group’s needs)

Core threads for the year

– learning to recognise primary selves and disowned selves
– strengthening the Aware Ego process through practice
– understanding how polarity shows up in identity and relationship
– developing awareness around  judgement and the inner critic
– building facilitation skills with clear agreements and grounded witnessing

Full training pathway

The Voice Dialogue training is a three-year pathway.

Year One focuses on personal inner navigation. You learn the model, meet primary and disowned selves, and begin developing the Aware Ego process as a lived capacity.

Year Two focuses on relating.
This includes how different parts show up in relationships, bonding patterns, projection dynamics, and staying in awareness with more intensity.

Year Three focuses on beginning to offer the work.
This includes developing facilitation competence, integration, and the foundations of offering Voice Dialogue responsibly.

Certification

There is a certification process at the end of the third year.

Certification is based on competence and commitment, as recognised by the training team and the group process.

Voice Dialogue is not a purely quantifiable modality. Technical skill develops alongside awareness, and both are essential.

Your capacity as a facilitator develops through your own ongoing engagement with your inner world. The depth of your work is reflected in how much awareness you are able to hold, and how deeply you have engaged with the Aware Ego process.

If you have further questions about the training, including practical details and commitments, you may find the answer on the FAQ page. If not, you are very welcome to get in touch with us directly.

Practicals and applying

Who this training supports

You may recognise yourself here if you are on a path of self exploration and ready to discover the deeper dimensions of your inner world.

People come to the Voice Dialogue training for many reasons.

This training may be a fit if you are drawn to the Voice Dialogue approach and want to explore your inner selves in a way that supports both personal development and as a practical learning.

It may suit you if you want to:

• recognise the selves that shape your identity, behaviour, and relationships
• strengthen the Aware Ego process and develop more choice in how you respond
• develop the Aware Ego process and experience expanded states of consciousness
• understand inner conflict through polarity rather than trying to eliminate one side
• explore disowned selves and the impact they have in everyday life and relating
• build grounded facilitation skills in the Voice Dialogue method
• learn through direct experience, practice, and reflection over time
• be part of a consistent group container that supports depth and continuity

This includes people in therapy, coaching, facilitation, bodywork, and leadership roles, as well as people doing this primarily for personal development.

Two ways of engaging with the training

People join this training for different reasons.

Some come for personal development, to deepen their relationship to their inner world, their relationships, and their lived experience.

Others are drawn to training as facilitators, with the intention of eventually offering Voice Dialogue to others and moving towards certification.

Both ways of engaging are welcome.

You are not expected to choose this in advance. Your orientation may become clearer as the training unfolds.

Facilitation Track

For those who wish to develop as facilitators and move towards certification, a facilitation track runs alongside the training.

This track includes:

– small group supervision sessions between weekends (online)

– supported practice with others outside the training weekends

– reflective writing to support integration and learning

This track is designed to support the development of facilitation skills in a grounded and responsible way.

Additional details and costs will be shared during the training.

This is optional and can be stepped into during the training rather than decided at the beginning.

Ongoing sessions

Alongside the training, we recommend continuing to have regular Voice Dialogue sessions.

For those moving towards certification, ongoing sessions form an essential part of the process. These support the deepening of your own inner work, which is inseparable from developing as a facilitator.

The exact requirements will be shared at the beginning of the training, but will include a commitment to regular sessions across the year, and working over time with different facilitators.

For those joining primarily for personal development, ongoing sessions are hughly recommended but not required.
