Gratitude from a (Years Ago) Workshop Participant
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020
I had the great luck to participate in Ken Nelson and Lesli Lang’s course at Kripalu a number of years ago so when I heard about this book I was delighted. I was also deeply curious.
Why delighted? Their course was so informative, comprehensive and high quality I wanted people who could not make the trip to the Berkshires to nonetheless have the benefit of their experience. In that regard, this book is a winner.
Why deeply curious? I wondered whether they could translate such skill and depth of heart onto the printed page. ‘Modeling’ the best way to lead a workshop, in person during a workshop, is one thing; could they ‘show up’ on the printed page as well? In fact, they did. This book ‘transmits.’ Though not in the same room, you’ll meet these authors as the authentic, honest, wise people they are. Just like those of us in the workshops knew we were in good hands, as you read, you’ll sense that, too.
Even better, unlike a weekend workshop, reading this book is like having a private tutorial with people who are the masters of their craft for as long as you care to keep at it and as often as you'd care to come back to is.
As one who’s taken their workshop, I’m deeply grateful they chose to write this book. It is far more comprehensive than any weekend could offer. In addition, they’ve improved a set of materials we received at the workshop. Those materials are now far more comprehensive and provide any workshop leader with a running head start on every phase of planning and execution.
I’ll never lead a workshop as well as they do. In fact, given the current pandemic state of the world, it will be a long time before I ever lead a workshop again.
In the meantime, this book has given me a framework for thinking about how to improve other types of interactions with people in my work. Whether it’s an email, a Zoom meeting or a phone call, these authors have provided me with an approach to leadership that is transferable to those encounters, too. With luck, if I’ve learned their lessons well enough, even a Zoom meeting might well be transformational.

This book’s title actually says what it’s about!
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020
Over five years ago, right before I was going to lead a retreat, I attended a workshop on leading transformational workshops taught by three of these authors. So when I heard this book was becoming available, I expected a compilation of my long lost handouts. Instead, I found a comprehensive look at definitions, theory, best practices, and dealing with the inevitable mine fields encountered within groups. There are a few suggested exercises, but the main focus is how to claim the mindset and presence of an effective leader or group mentor. I think it would be a valuable resource for anyone doing group work.

This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone considering developing a workshop tomorrow, or in 5 years
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2020
This book is designed for anyone considering hosting a transformational workshop…even if you have no idea what the focus of the workshop will be.
The book is laced with testimonials by professionals with different interests. Lessons from each testimonial are discussed and woven into the teachings
The process of workshop development is broken down into manageable bites. Each bite is explained thoughtfully. Sections are included that I didn’t know I needed. Beyond the why, the subtleties of the how are so helpful. Guides on holding safe space, balancing the roles of both teacher and facilitator, listening and reflecting, are supplemented by sections on how to deal with challenges and group dynamics.
The book is filled with numerous worksheets. They are comprehensive, including initial development and planning, checklists, agendas, and exit tickets.
Having read through the book once, I am curious to read it again with new purpose and understanding.

Jam Packed with Wisdom, Creative Ideas, Practical Know-How
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020
While I do have attentional challenges when reading, I've found this masterful compilation of neuroscience of connection, spiritual principles, ethics, education, creative self-expression, and body-mind transformative practices to be riveting - thanks to this team’s art in story-telling, clarity and precision in outlining the essential elements for transformational education and the resulting magic they create when they bring this material to life in their workshops.
When I took this workshop series, I began not as a leader, but as a personal growth mega-enthusiast (aka junkie). To learn about the elements necessary to create transformation while having an in-vivo experience of personal transformation, while also witnessing others in their respective process, was revelatory and life-changing.
Now, reading this guide, shared with such authentic desire to spread the wisdom gleaned from decades of awareness, development, practice, and refinement, I am enthralled by the interconnectivity between storytelling, group process, grounded principles and mystical wisdom from the lineage of kundalini yoga masters. Not only are the principles easy to grasp, but we are shown how they work their magic, through the personal stories of various workshop participants. The checklists and resources are an invaluable addition, offering a structure to help motivated readers become competent leaders in their own right.
The overarching mantra – “Everything you need, you already have,” is beautifully seeded, nurtured, strengthened and eventually experienced as real by the people who read this material and put it into practice.

Build a Workshop with this Toolbox
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2020
The best workshop experience I’ve had was with the creators of this book. And now I know why! It’s in the details. It’s in the heart and mindset. As I prepared to do my first Zoom teaching, this toolkit was invaluable. Who do I want to reach? How about fine tuned content, goals, email lists, times, refunds, CEU’s, creating safe & sacred space, honoring students and myself? The checklist of possible scenarios is here for you. Save your energy for teaching and use the logistical layout found in these pages. Thank you for this thorough and thoughtful work.

Goodbye, “Imposter Syndrome!” Hello, Genuinely Confident, Highly Skilled Leader!
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020
Say goodbye to the voice of insecurities and fears regarding your leadership, teaching, and intervention skills. Say hello to a complete, digestible structure of mind-set, humanity, and science that will become your new home for your Self in your work (and even life)! Simply to read this spectacular book is to change already your relationship with your inner, genuine Self. You will imagine, with every page, how you will become the workshop/retreat/ training leader that your desires and longings say you can be. You can enjoy your personal calling in all the fullness of experience that you are imagining. This comprehensive book is the be-all, end-all book for “training the trainers.” It is the KEY to unlock so many doors that have been rusted shut from feelings of anxiety and self-doubt, or often, just lack of information!
As a psychotherapist of some 40 yrs, I know the power of what is in this revelatory book. I have attended the workshop led by Ken, Lesli, and Jim (authors). They are vastly experienced, articulate, loving, wise, and very human. They embody and model everything they teach. They want you to succeed and know how to help you do just that. And if you ever get the chance to attend this workshop at Kripalu (magical place!), it just may be the most impacting gift you will ever give yourself---in addition to this phenomenal book.
I have done a fair amount of training/workshops in my career. All went seemimgly ok, and all involved, for me, more than just performance-anxiety as well as often extreme over-stimulation, making it hard to decompress afterwards and sleep the night before and after. After my workshop experience at Kripalu, and using the workshop manual, I created many 3 hr. workshops (original content by me) that I had been envisioning. My personal experience of doing these workshops was the most calm, assured, anxiety-free enjoyment I have ever had, and it was so long in coming! I also designed and led a 5-day training in the therapy model I use. They were all successful and “masterfully done” was a repeated written review. And anything I can do, you can do better!!! If you consider yourself a change agent in any way in our world, don’t live the rest of your professional and personal life without this book by your side.

Excellent Resource for Leading and Designing Transformational Workshops
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020
This book is a comprehensive manual for creating and leading transformative workshops. I haven’t seen anything like it and will refer to it often. Ken and company lay out the concepts and practical steps for leading workshops where participants experience empowering change. Peppered with illustrations and stories, this book provides the nuts and bolts for creating and facilitating workshops. The many exercises stimulate creative thinking, along with providing some clarifying information into how to transform your unique gifts and skills into facilitating a class. This book guides you through the process of working with group energy and how to trust group wisdom. I was fortunate to experience this team as a participant in their three workshops and have since integrated their teachings into my work. These processes worked beautiful in my own teaching with powerful results for participants. Now more than ever, this book is needed to help those who want to teach and bring their work into the world effectively.
MUST READ for workshop facilitators
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021
I participated in the workshop that inspired this book. It was by far the best workshop I have ever attended. My feedback at the time was that the manual that came with the workshop was one of the most valuable parts of the experience. It allowed me to go home and apply what I learned that weekend in a mindful and deliberate way. The content of that workshop was exactly what I needed to design a workshop that connects my content with my participants in way that creates lasting transformation. EVERYTHING in the manual was clear and rich with tons of ideas that I used in my workshops. I was therefore beyond thrilled when I learned that this "Workshop DREAM TEAM" had published a book based on the workshops and that incredible manual. If you want your workshop to making a lasting difference, no matter what the topic, use this approach! My workshop attendees have loved the format and each one comments on at least one of the unique approaches that I learned from these gifted facilitators.
