For a description of SCS Workshops and certification programs, see Workshop Descriptions and Benefits.

When you review the programs, you may discover that you really love the SCS/NLP technology—but don’t learn it unless it’s really the right thing for you. Even if you think about it now and really want it, you won’t use it unless it really is the right thing for you.

Until you learn to close your eyes and see the ways in which you will use it with the different people in your life—and, in your mind, hear yourself using the technology in ways that feel absolutely right for you ... then and only then will you learn it quickly and easily, seeing opportunities where you can hear yourself using it in ways that will now help you and others feel ecstatically happy for years and years to come. When you realize how and why you want it, you can learn it even better now.

All SCS workshops include appropriate training manuals. The manual for our language-based trainings (SCS Level 2, “Healing with Language: Your Key to Effective Mind-Body Communication”; “Radical Healing”; “Introduction to NLP”; and the NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner workshops) contains more than 300 pages and has been called the best NLP training and reference manual in the industry. For an idea of what all is included, download a copy of the table of contents list of exercises.

All SCS workshops come with perpetual tuition, ensuring that you will be able to keep your skills current by retaking any workshop you previously completed for an “auditing” fee of only $25 a day. Also, for those with previous training, our Fast Track Option allows you to receive credit for previous certifications. As an added benefit, SCS pays 10 percent for referrals who complete a workshop with us.

Reiki I and II

What’s Covered? This two-day workshop provides an overview of the history and philosophy of Reiki and compares Reiki with other forms of Energy-based healing. You will receive the Level 1 and Level 2 Reiki attunements. Reiki energy therapy can be used in conjunction with traditional therapies or as a stand-alone treatment. Reiki is recognized by Associated Bodywork Massage Professionals (ABMP) and completion of the two-days certifies you in Level I and Level II and qualifies you for Practitioner level membership in ABMP.

Who will benefit from this workshop? Anyone with an interest in Energy-based (“hands-on”) healing will benefit from this class whether your interest is personal or professional. You will learn how to use Reiki to promote your own health and well-being as well as the health and well-being of others.

Although we attend to and respect the traditions and ritual of Reiki, we do not subscribe to the “religion of Reiki.” We recognize and honor the similarities between Reiki and other forms of Energy Medicine. This is a good introductory workshop for those just developing an interest in complementary healing modalities and a good next, right step for those interested in adding to their expertise and credentials as a healer.
