Question for our experts!
There are many modalities - in the areas you teach, how would you describe the teaching process and the relationship with students during and after training?

I know the phrase is becoming cliche, but I truly do use a student-centered approach. When teaching - I consider myself more of a coach and guide. I try to help people discover their own innate talents and strengths on whatever topic we are discussing, and work to help them develop and deepen those, as well as expand into other areas. I do include instruction and share content that I continually develop and enhance through my experiences working with students, my personal experiences doing readings and in my life, as well as through my continuing education and training.
After classes, I find I often have ongoing connection with students and I am always happy to hear about their experiences, answer questions, and provide continuing support.
I love what everyone has already said here. A few things I would add. I pay special attention to the teaching/learning container. I think it's important to set the tone and environment so that participants can feel the integrity of the space being held and feel safe enough and brave enough to open into what is there for them at that point in time. And also, at every opportunity help people turn to their own knowing and wisdom.
Regarding the relationship after - we keep connected through emails, groups, and sometimes doing 1:1 work.
