Encounter Groups are small groups that meet virtually meet for 12 consecutive weeks.

EG’s are immensely valuable for several reasons:

1. EG’s are an opportunity for you to put your personal and professional development into practice. EG’s are like a laboratory for your personal growth.
2. EG’s offer you a mirror of yourself – you get to discover and explore different parts of yourself that you see in other people. 
3. You get to discover how other people see you – an incredibly important part of your personal and professional development. 

All Encounter Groups offered by the Institute take place online – all groups meet virtually.

During an Encounter Group session, members share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with one another in a safe, supportive environment. Sessions are facilitated by a group leader. 

Encounter Groups run for 12 weeks, and each group meeting lasts exactly 90 minutes.

Encounter Groups are not intended to serve as a substitute for therapy. Instead, they are designed to complement therapy and provide a different kind of support and growth opportunity for participants.

Encounter Groups are facilitated by skilled coaches who are trained in our proprietary Encounter Group Methods.
