MASTER PRACTITIONER TRAINING - BRONZE DRAGON, Suzanna Bellini

Having done my Practitioner training a long time ago with Paul McKenna I decided that I wanted to try a different approach for my Master Practitioner training. So many people have honed and developed things over time and I try to experience them from different angles every time. I met Suzanna when she was one of the helpers on my practitioner training. I did some Reiki training with her company, Bronze Dragon, and stayed in touch with her over the years. Suzanna works with Phil Callaghan, and although based in York they run courses in Brighton. I would recommend staying nearby if possible, as there are opportunities to spend time over a coffee, or other beverage, to discuss the day.

There were less than a dozen of us on the course, the advantage of that is you have more time to "bond" with others and learn from them. One process for me on the particular course was watching others, and deciding that some things were worth copying and others I wouldn't do "that" way! Out of everybody there I has the biggest gap between my Practitioner and Master Practitioner training, which probably gave me more confidence than those that had finished it only a few months ago. I also had experience of using it for a long time, but still learnt plenty.

The course ran over 9 consecutive days - just as tiring! My expectation was I would learn more things. What actually happened was I learned more about the things I already knew - although a couple of new techniques had been developed and many more refined by others over the time between my trainings. Although there was the occasional flip chart, this is not really a course using slides and notes. Comfort zones are stretched, much laughter is heard and some stuff might sound a bit "weird" when you describe it to those with no NLP knowledge. Suzanna was apprenticed to Richard Bandler, and it shows. I always recommend Bronze Dragon training to anyone who asks.
