At the Becoming Self Institute, we believe that continuing education should do more than check a box – it should deepen your practice, nourish your perspective, and reconnect you with the heart of your work. Our CEU-accredited trainings are designed for therapists, educators, coaches, and wellness professionals who want to integrate The Becoming Framework into their existing modalities. These offerings are crafted to support both technical growth and soulful expansion, helping you meet students and clients with greater clarity, compassion, and developmental insight.
Each course is grounded in Life Cycle Sequencing, a model that maps human development across thirteen distinct stages. You’ll learn how to recognize where someone is in their unfolding, how to support transitions with timing-sensitive tools, and how to use symbolic language to help clients make meaning of their experiences. Our trainings blend structured templates, experiential exercises, and nature-inspired metaphors to create a learning environment that is both intuitive and profound.
Whether you’re working with grief, identity shifts, burnout, or reinvention, our CEUs equip you with a developmental lens that honors the whole person. You’ll leave with practical strategies for assessment, intervention, and reflection – plus a renewed sense of purpose in your role as a guide.
These trainings are ideal for professionals who want to bring more depth, resonance, and soul into their work, without losing the rigor and clarity required in clinical or educational settings.
How to Engage
You can sign up for CEUs individually, choosing the topics that resonate most with your current practice or developmental edge. We also offer customized trainings for organizations, schools, and practitioner groups – tailored to your context, needs, and timing. If you don’t see a CEU listed that fits what you’re looking for, we welcome your inquiry. Together, we can co-create a training that meets your vision and supports your community.
Who Facilitates
CEUs are offered by Dr. Jason Geoffrion, founder of Becoming Self, in partnership with certified Institute Guides – each bringing their own expertise, lived experience, and relational presence. Depending on the topic and certification requirements, your training will be led by a collaboration of Institute Guides whose background aligns with your field and needs.
What You Receive
Each CEU includes:
- Developmentally grounded content
- Experiential practices and tools
- Reflection prompts and integration support
- Optional certification hours and completion certificate (where applicable)
- Access to a growing community of practitioners
Whether you’re seeking personal enrichment, professional development, or a deeper way to serve, our CEUs are designed to meet with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to lifelong becoming.
CEU Trainings Location
Our CEU offerings are daylong events, running six to eight hours, held in a beautiful retreat home tucked into the Rocky Mountains just outside Lyons, Colorado. The rhythm of a single full day gives us enough time to move from presentation into practice, to slow between exercises, and to let learning settle into felt experience without the hurry of a typical workshop.
The retreat setting comfortably welcomes up to twenty participants, creating a somatic container that is intentionally different from conference rooms and hotel ballrooms. Surrounded by pines and open sky, the house offers a council room, gathering spaces, and quiet corners to pause between sessions, so the landscape itself becomes a co‑teacher for reflection, ritual, and deeper attention.
Because the day is held in an intimate, domestic space, the work can be both rigorous and relational. Small group size allows for sustained conversation, close feedback from Institute Guides, and practice that moves beyond theory into embodied skill. Participants leave with more than handouts; they leave with practices they can try the next week, and with the felt sense that the material landed inside them.
For organizations needing training for larger groups, our Institute Guides will come to you. We design on‑site daylong programs that carry the same practical rigor and ceremonial attention into your setting so the work can scale without losing intimacy.
