How to Participate in this Course

Practice is essential

This is a self-directed, self-paced program. Like in other courses, Michael gives you instructions for each tool and technique he offers via video.  In most cases you will need more time, so please, watch the instructions a few times, download and print the handouts, and dedicate time to practice.

We recommend that you take your time and go step by step, giving yourself a few days or a week to practice one step before moving on to the next. (Scroll down to see the steps)

Collaborative learning leads to greater understanding and community.

You are invited to post your experience in the discussion area under each module. This will engage the community as well and start a discussion. EBI instructors and staff will be participating in the discussion area as well, so please ask any questions.  

Also, remember, we are all learning together, each person has their own unique way into understanding, lets all support each other so we can all benefit from each other’s wisdom! 

Certificate of Completion (Optional)

A certificate of completion is available at the end of this course.  In order to obtain it, every step must be checked ‘complete.’
