Compassionate Inquiry Free Information Session hosted by Sat Dharam Kaur ND on February 10, 2024
Dates for the May 2024 Cohort: May 20, 2024 to June 16, 2025.
We offer a limited number of subsidies to support and include traditionally underrepresented, marginalized, or otherwise under-served populations including people of colour, indigenous communities, people from faith based communities, the LGBTQ+ community, as well as full-time students.
The use of the Compassionate Inquiry approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of illness and addiction.
We all long to be seen, heard, understood and loved. We heal when we feel safe in relationship, connected to our bodies, our breath, the present moment, and one another. Only when we experience connection to ourselves and others, can we open up to our vulnerability and emotions, and discover and express what is true for us. This expression is what heals us.
The goal of the Compassionate Inquiry approach is to bring compassion, respect, acceptance, insight, healing, freedom and connection to humanity through an international community of skillful Compassionate Inquiry Practitioners.
Creators of Compassionate Inquiry®
Dr. Gabor Maté is a retired physician, bestselling author, an internationally renowned speaker and the creator of the Compassionate Inquiry approach to psychotherapy.
Dr. Gabor Maté evolved this therapeutic approach over 20 years of his personal journey, and from his work with patients in family practice, palliative care, and addiction. He developed his system further while facilitating integration workshops focused on healing trauma through the use of psychedelics.
Sat Dharam Kaur ND has supported Dr. Gabor Maté in structuring the Compassionate Inquiry approach and developing the online training.
Sat Dharam is a naturopathic doctor, teacher and author, who combines naturopathic medicine with Compassionate Inquiry, yoga, breathing practices and meditation to support others in healing and integrating mind, body and spirit.

Testimonial from a Past Participant
I tapped into so much of myself this year, peeling back layers I didn’t know were shielding parts of me that were waiting to be uncovered, witnessed, and healed. I feel like I am returning home to my self. Listening to the wisdom of my body. Allowing my voice to be heard, stepping into the spotlight, finding my power. By showing up in the world exactly as I am with the gifts I have to offer, I can change the world in a way that no one else can. I can be as bold and as colourful as I desire. I don’t have to apologize for taking up the space that I deserve. By accepting that I am ever growing, I give myself permission to be vulnerable and imperfect, and show up confidently as my complete authentic self.
– L.C., Wellness Practitioner

If you don’t currently qualify?
We invite you to apply after you have completed or are certified in a training that allows you to legally work with clients in your country, using counselling. Examples of such training are Addiction Counselling, accredited Psychotherapy Training, a Life Coach Certification training, or formal University studies in health sciences or psychology at a Masters level.
- If you are not a health professional, and you are interested in learning Compassionate Inquiry, or if you are a health professional and are currently a student or are not practicing with clients, you may enrol in the Compassionate Inquiry Self-Study Short Course.
- If you are not a health professional, and you are keen on experiencing Compassionate Inquiry, consider enrolling in one of our Compassionate Inquiry Circles. They are interactive, facilitated, experiential online support groups that introduce participants to key concepts and practices in Compassionate Inquiry, and initiate the process of Self-Inquiry.
Your Commitment to Mastery:
The program only works, if you work on it! As part of this select group of individuals, you’ll be expected to:
- Dedicate a minimum of 8 hours a week engaging with the material and practice

After completing the Professional Online Training Program you can apply for:
An additional 6-month Mentorship Program
The Compassionate Inquiry Mentorship Program will develop your skills further. It is necessary to complete the Mentorship Program in order to apply to become a certified Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner. To be eligible for the Mentorship Program, you will need to:
- Be registered with a professional regulatory body that includes counselling within its scope of practice, and that provides you with a membership number and a code of ethics to abide by
- Be legally able to practice Compassionate Inquiry® within your professional scope of practice and in your jurisdiction
- Have liability insurance that covers Compassionate Inquiry®
- Have an active clinical practice, currently seeing clients and using Compassionate Inquiry with them (minimum 3 per week)
The online Compassionate Inquiry training program is so thorough and comprehensive that accredited doctoral level courses that I have taken pale in comparison. The Compassionate Inquiry approach is a powerful synthesis of multiple psychotherapeutic approaches I find to be most helpful in working with those who suffer from addiction and trauma. The synergistic combination of videos, written content, online meetings, and triad work together has been deeply transformational personally and professionally. The way I work with clients has been forever enriched and is now guided by the Stepping Stones so that we are able to get to the core issues that have seeded their addictions, in order to gain insight, heal, and move into sustainable recovery from self-defeating patterns. Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur are a powerhouse team whose authenticity, genuineness, and commitment to creating and delivering an exceptional program shines through in this masterfully delivered collaboration.

Do I qualify for the Professional Training?
The Compassionate Inquiry Professional Online Training is meant for professionals already working with clients, such as addiction counselors, psychotherapists, psychologists, medical doctors, naturopaths, life coaches, and other related fields, whose scope of practice includes counseling.
Compassionate Inquiry is an approach to add on to an already existing clinical and mental health practice. If you don’t think you currently qualify, we invite you to re-apply after you have completed or are certified in such a training that allows you to legally work with clients in your country.
Examples of such training are a short Life Coach Certification training, Addictions Counseling, or formal University studies at a Masters level.
If you are not a health professional, you may also consider taking the Compassionate Inquiry Short Course.
How can I apply? What should I know before applying?
See here for the current application dates and How to Apply.
Applications for a Subsidy close over a month earlier than applications for the regular training, and are separate forms.
We are unable to transfer applications from cohort to cohort, so if you wish to defer your application to another cohort, you will need to re-apply. Fortunately, you only need to pay the $50 application fee once ever. If you are on our mailing list you will receive a notification.
How should I best prepare my application?
Letter of Recommendation / Resume:
The letter of recommendation must be from a professional person you’ve been working with or had close contact with for two years or more.
We recommend updating your resume specifically to list all therapy/coaching training and related experience you have received or studied.
I’m not sure if my schedule will work with the course. What is the structure?
The course includes modules with many teaching and practice videos, power points, optional meditations, and extensive reading resources.
You will meet once every two weeks (bi-weekly) for a facilitated group call. You will have weekly practice meetings with other participants in your group.
In addition to the course material, a monthly Zoom Call with Gabor, and a monthly Facilitated Workshop Zoom Call are available (recorded, not required to attend live).
There are 8 modules in this year-long study, with each module being two weeks long. There are three levels, each level extending 16 weeks (you will go through the 8 modules 3 times).
- Level One explores Self-Inquiry and Building Connection
- Level Two focuses on Comprehensive Skill-Building
- Level Three emphasizes Mastery of Compassionate Inquiry
Terms to Remember:
Online Facilitated Bi-Weekly Group = Between 12-18 people with one facilitator, meeting every two weeks, for 1.5 hours at a fixed scheduled time, which you select when you register for the training.
Pod = Group of approximately six participants, formed from within the bi-weekly group, who divide up into dyads and triads.
Dyad/Triad = A group of two or three people who practice together each week, at a flexible time that you decide among yourselves.
How often does my bi-weekly small group meet?
In this case bi-weekly means once every two weeks.
You will discuss the material from the modules in this bi-weekly group, and must attend at least 22 of 27 bi-weekly meetings in order to qualify for a certificate of course completion. You will also receive much more information on the course structure in the week before the training starts.
The facilitated group call for Module 1 will be an important orientation entering the course. It will involve getting to know your fellow participants and information-sharing about the modules and course structure, including individual work and opportunities to practice what you learn. During this first call, there will be time for questions and answers.
I previously applied for a program and paid the $50 application fee, however am not currently in the course. Is this fee transferable to a future course?
Yes. You do not need to pay the $50 fee a second time if you have not taken the training. However, applications are not transferable, which means you will need to re-apply in the future. There are no refunds on the application fee.
When will I get a receipt for my payment?
You will receive a receipt within seven days of paying for a Compassionate Inquiry course. If you need your receipt re-sent or to change info on the receipt, please email billing@compassionateinquiry.com with your name, email, course name/cohort, and the requested changes.

No refunds are allowed starting 4 weeks after the start date of the course, no exceptions.
Cancellation Policy for Payment Plans:

What are my options if I have specific accessibility needs?
If you have a condition that causes you to work at a slower pace through the training, you may take a 6-month extension after the last day of your training to submit your course completion requirements.

If you have specific accessibility needs, please contact daniela@compassionateinquiry.com
Am I able to switch to a different bi-weekly small group once I am assigned my facilitator?
You can switch your bi-weekly small group within the first 4 weeks after the advertised start date of the course. After the first 4 weeks, it is not possible to switch groups. Please email sahiba@compassionateinquiry.com if you need to switch your time slot for the biweekly facilitated meetings during the first 4 weeks of the training.
What can I expect from the course, and what is expected of me?
Throughout the training, this is what you can expect from your facilitator:
- They offer you the Compassionate Inquiry Psychotherapeutic approach as developed and instructed by Dr. Gabor Maté, and not general counselling theory or practice.
- They will embody the 7 Pillars of Compassionate Inquiry and will endeavour to create a learning environment that reflects those pillars.
- Unless technical glitches occur they will be punctual in start and finish times for the bi-weekly zoom calls. They promise to prepare themselves and technology in such a way that limits interruptions.
- Your facilitator will maintain a professional relationship and ethical boundaries throughout the training with course participants.
- See the facilitator Code of Ethics.
This is what facilitators of Compassionate Inquiry ask of you:
- Experiential training is such that personal issues arise. You are expected to have additional resources outside of the training, including a therapist, peer support groups, etc., so that you are well supported. It is very likely that you will need this extra support.
- Unless technical glitches occur, we ask and expect that you be punctual for the bi-weekly meetings as well as dyads/triads. Please prepare yourself and your technology so that interruptions are minimal.
- When it is believed by a facilitator, and in consultation with the Compassionate Inquiry Team, that someone’s personal issues or behaviour may prevent them from participating fully or may be disruptive to the group learning, then the individual will be approached to discuss and collaborate on a resolution, which could include being asked to leave the training.
- See the course participant Code of Ethics.

You are not able to call yourself a CI Practitioner, as that requires completion of the Mentorship Program and completing the certification process.
