Firestarter Certification Program
How the Process Works
The Medicine Wheel and 12 Step program is designed in a series of modules that enable people to meet their individual needs. Participants watch a video that explains Medicine Wheel teachings and apply them to their lives. In addition, participants share their insights and experiences in a talking circle. They also learn how to mind map their own innate knowledge around these teachings and then apply that knowledge to their daily lives and decision making processes. For those working through the program in a group setting (i.e. Circles of Recovery) very strong social and emotional bonds are created that help the individuals who participate to develop trust, autonomy, and other healthy feelings and thought patterns that will help them to grow emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. The five phases of the Certification process include:
• Phase 1: Complete application and attend the 3 day training (receive a certificate
of attendance).
• Phase 2: Firestarter Level 1--Personally make the journey through the MW12
Steps
• Phase 3: Firestarter Level 2--After completing Phase 2 and successfully
facilitating one group
• Phase 4: Firestarter Level 3--Facilitate MW 12 Steps for 4 small groups
• Phase 5: Participants receive a Master Firestarter Certification upon successful
facilitation of 3 day train-the-trainer version of the Medicine Wheel and 12 Steps
along with a WBI Master facilitator.
There is the option to have your name posted on the website at each level.
