ARC PROGRAMS: The Journey to Consciousness

What is the Journey to Consciousness?

The Journey to Consciousness is an extraordinary program designed to support the unique path of your personal growth process and at the same time, provide you with the skills, tools and training as a professional or non-professional caregiver to assist others in their own growth process, resolve their personal issues and concerns, and ultimately reach their health goals.

As a student of The Journey to Consciousness you will receive a dynamic understanding of the human growth process through the ARC Personal Growth Map* – a guide to the various stages we all pass through in the self-development process.

In The Journey to Consciousness your first point of discovery is yourself. This is foundational to being in service to others. When we successfully work with our own limitations while attaining greater self-awareness, we become more adept at successfully supporting others on their own journey of self-discovery. 

The Journey to Consciousness is ideal for:

• anyone interested in a career in the healing arts using a cutting edge, proven health modality
• professional practitioners and facilitators in human interaction and development
• teachers and educators
• caregivers
• those in the helping professions
• parents
• anyone who interacts with others, including in the work place
• anyone interested in deepening a relationship with another

All participants have the option of taking The Journey to Consciousness solely for their own self-development and interest and/or to learn how to provide professional or non-professional care and support for others. All participants of The Journey to Consciousness are given the option to enrol in the ARC Certification Program for professional certification as an ARC Health Practitioner. 

When you choose to participate in the ARC Certification Program you are given assignments between each of the courses to hone and support your care giving skills. Each assignment involves reading, projects for self-development based on the course material and practice sessions with clients. You are also given personal one-on-one time with your instructor for assignment review and be invited to question/answer discussion groups between courses. Students who enrol for their own personal development find the assignments enhance their personal growth experience.

How is the Program Structured?

The Journey to Consciousness is a series of six courses. Each course consists of a weekend-plus of intensive work spread out over a period of one year. The courses follow logical, sequential steps that build upon themselves. However, since each course is a separate study in human growth, courses may also be taken as separate units.

The Learning Environment

The Journey to Consciousness is purely experiential. You experience the process as you go through the program. Consequently, you grow with the program. 

The Journey to Consciousness is always respectful of your own timing and personal growth process. It never expects you to change. However, it will support any change you wish to make. 

The Journey to Consciousness teaches you to consider whether reacting to your life in the way you do now still works for you. If it isn’t working the way you want it to, the program will help you make more appropriate choices. The freedom is in knowing you have the choice to steer your life in whatever direction and way you choose.

On The Journey to Consciousness everyone receives personal one-on-one guidance and support from the instructor and teaching staff regardless of their previous experience in personal growth or care giving experiences with others. 

The Journey to Consciousness is designed to stretch you; at the same time the program respects your individual limitations and timing. 

Students describe The Journey to Consciousness as an experience of “being-in-it-together.” This sense of community traditionally leads to growing trust, safety and intimacy between students, and the birth of life-long friendships.   

If you want to care for others effectively, you must first care for yourself.

If you want to love others deeply, you must first have profound love for yourself.

If you want to lead others successfully, you must first be in command of yourself.

The Journey to Consciousness puts you in the driver’s seat. It brings you home to your Authentic Self.
