Using Ritual and Environment In Transformative Coaching

This program will explore the significant role of rituals and environment in driving human change and development, specifically within the context of coaching. This program aims to equip coaches with the knowledge and skills to seamlessly integrate rituals and optimize the coaching environment for enhanced client-facing work.

Although coaching is often seen as a modern profession emerging from the humanistic psychology movement of the mid-20th century, the concept of supporting transitions, development, and change has deep roots in the fabric of human society. Rites and rituals are time proven tools for managing and embedding these pivotal moments. Rites of passage (a form of ritual) are defined as ‘events which mark or facilitate an important transitional life stage’, and we’ll explore how the coaching relationship itself can be considered a form of ritual.
