Online Training Level 2
Sacred Attention Therapy (SAT)
The Sacred Attention Therapy (SAT) Online Training Course is a psycho-spiritual psychotherapy training that is progressive, radical, and innovative.
Applications from prospective students are invited from:
Therapists – psychotherapists, counselors, and other healing practitioners
People who want to train to become SAT therapists
Seekers who wish to practice SAT
for their own personal growth
and spiritual development
The SAT training consists of two levels of teaching. Each of Levels 1 and 2 consist of twelve modules and the recommended time for completing each level of the training is between six months and two years.
SAT Online Training Level 2 consists of 12 modules, each consisting of 3 video presentations and a supporting .pdf document. The content continues the Process of Self-Discovery or personal therapy as described in Level 1. This course is open to students who completed Level 1 or to students who can show that they have reached a stage in their personal growth or their development as a therapist or counselor that equates with the content of Level 1.
As with Level 1, Level 2 refers to the 3-stage model of psycho-spiritual development described in Your Essential Self and Human Awakening. Broadly, Level 2 addresses the penultimate and final subjects of inner work on personality and character – forgiveness and wholeness – the mysteries of crossing the Threshold of Transformation and the initiatory preparations for the second stage of awakening.
Module 1: Toward Human Freedom
Module 2: Moving Toward the Threshold
Module 3: Where Do We Go Rrom Here
Module 4: Age Points and Personal Mythology
Module 5: Dreamwork, Dynamic Imagination, and the Unconscious
Module 6: Body and Energy
Module 7: Forgiveness
Module 8: The Last Grains
Module 9: Journey into Wholeness
Module 10: The Threshold of Transformation
Module 11: Preparation for the Second Stage of Awakening
Module 12: Fulfilling Human Capacity and Potential
The SAT Online Training Course is available to students who wish to train in a radical, innovative therapy approach, practitioners who wish to add SAT to their existing list of skills, and to people who are committed to their own personal growth and spiritual development. The course is designed to address therapists and seekers without distinction. Each module is designed to take approximately a month to complete. We advise you to listen to the lecture presentations on three separate occasions to digest the material contained in them. The Supporting Document for each module expands on the lecture material, directs you to further sources of exploration of the subject matter and provides written and experiential exercises that bring the course material to life and ground you in the insights of SAT Level 2 training.
Level 2 may be studied for your own growth and personal satisfaction as an invaluable source of guidance, information, theory and method for your awakening. If you are pursing SAT studies with a view to enhancing your professional CV then, as in Level 1, you may present your work selected from the Supporting Documents, prepare a major essay, and conduct a “therapy session” (over Skype) for appraisal by three members of the SAT teaching faculty in order to obtain SAT certification. The Center for Human Awakening can alternatively issue a certificate of course completion.

All students are encouraged to be in individual therapy for the duration of the course. The therapist does not have to be a SAT practitioner. However, if they are not we suggest that the therapist is acquainted and sympathetic to the SAT approach, so they can support you wisely in the issues that are likely to be stimulated by the course work.

What people are saying about SAT Online Training
“So often teaching therapy stops short of the connection with the spiritual, or perhaps is just not recognised by the therapist when they have entered into that sacred, and often forgotten place. The awareness of the spiritual dimension seems to require the heart chakra to first break, release the hidden pains into the field of compassion; which, in my experience, has a mysterious element to it; and then transformation occurs. There is no blue print to our development, but wholehearted honesty in every living connection seems to be a vital key to disclosing the works of love. The very best to you for your work with the Sacred Attention Therapy Online Training. The world needs the seeds to be planted!”
“Richard, you have an insight that resonates on so many levels. You are able to articulate an awareness that would otherwise just remain an innate acknowledgement. I have a broad professional background but always searched for an understanding that never quite emerged through theory and postgraduate education; your work and insight seems to make sense of that missing link for me and feeds my yearning to escape the statutory demands that don’t fit with my passion for offering psychospiritual compassion and support. Thank you for your wisdom — it’s a privilege to know you and learn from you.”
