Committed to learning Clean quickly and effectively, so that you're ready to use it to achieve great results straight away? Then our residential Summer School in the historic university town of Cambridge, UK may be ideal for you.
But it's not for the faint-hearted! This event is packed with intense learning and personal development.
"In all honesty I have not been involved in anything so challenging, thought-provoking and vision-enhancing as the last days doing Clean Language. It certainly was a skill-changing experience and I am going to be putting the process into action as soon as possible." Summer School 2007 participant Pamela Hadfield
The training

The Summer School covers the whole of our foundation course:
- Module 1, Modelling with Clean Language, two days
- Module 2, Enlightening Change, two days
- Module 3, Enriching Change, three days
- Module 4, Spotlight on Space, three days
- Certification, two days.
As on our London trainings, the event will be led by Wendy Sullivan, one of the world's leading trainers of Clean, with input from Judy Rees.
Penny Tompkins and James Lawley, the founders of Symbolic Modelling, will attend the final two days, to assess the candidates for Certification.
And there'll be support from a team of assistants who are training to become trainers of Clean. Thanks to them, there'll be additional, optional evening activities and practice sessions.
Because we’ll be together many more hours per day than on our standard trainings, there’ll be lots of time for practice, for making friends, and for developing your ideas about how to put your Clean skills to use back home.
Free time for sightseeing, however, will be limited. Following feedback from our first residential event, in 2007, we have added two rest days into the programme for 2008. Experience suggests you will need to use them to rest!
Whether you’re looking to improve communication in business, dramatically increase your effectiveness as a coach, therapist or counsellor, develop research and interviewing techniques which get to the truth faster and more accurately, or want to use Symbolic Modelling for something completely different, this is the quickest way to Clean up.
It all adds up to a great adventure.
The venue
We'll be based amid the elegance of St Catharine's College - a centre of learning since 20 years before Columbus sailed. That means our accomodation is close to the town centre and a short walk from the River Cam. Pictures here.
We can offer two very different kinds of accomodation at the college. The en-suite rooms are bang up to date, in a modern building cunningly concealed within the college walls. Though not luxurious, they have modern comforts.
We also have the option of a standard room for those on a tight budget. These rooms are in the older parts of the college and are of extremely variable quality. They're clean, and some have amazing bonuses such as pianos. But nothing can be guaranteed except an authentic student experience!
All rooms have internet access, phones and a small shared kitchenette, but not hairdriers. Some rooms have fridges. We also have access to a TV lounge, laundry facilities etc.
The experience
Expect to make great friends while working in a multinational, multicultural group. Last year, eight countries and four continents were represented.
Expect to spend time on your feet, and out of doors where possible. Our main training room gives us the flexibility to work in a beautiful garden when the sun shines.
Expect to throw yourself into the experience and to feel stretched. Be ready to challenge and be challenged - as with all Clean Change courses, don't attend if you prefer to be "sheep-dipped"!
"I am so pleased that you went ahead with the summer school. It has added so much more to my understanding of clean and the environment seemed to push us all along so easily. Congratulations on a wonderful job." Summer School 2007 participant Rasjad Johnson, Australia
