SACRED CEREMONY FACILITATOR TRAINING
12 Weeks
SACRED CEREMONY FACILITATOR TRAINING
It’s an honour to create wider networks of transformative circles and to continue to support others deepening into connection with self, each other and this sacred earth that we inhabit in a trauma-informed way.
This training is developed from my own experiences of holding space in Community settings, Psychotherapy, Retreats, Yoga classes, Sacred Circles, and through my individual Therapy, Bodywork, and plant medicine sessions.
I have been blessed to learn and sit amongst some amazing mentors, some from the South American plant medicine lineages, African lineages, Gestalt Therapy trainings, yoga trainings and incredible energy healers. This knowledge is ancient and universal, yet timeless and powerful. It is my life’s work and may it continue to hold healing for others as they journey in to this sacred work.
The coursework includes mentoring sessions, weekly ceremony, content and course guides.

Informed Trauma Work
“Human beings are tender creatures. We are born with our hearts open and sometimes our hearts encounter experiences that shatter us. Sometimes we encounter experiences that so violate our sense of safety, order, predictability and right, that we feel utterly overwhelmed – unable to integrate and simply unable to go on as before. Unable to bear reality. We have come to call these shattering experiences trauma. None of us are immune to them.” (Stephen Cope as cited in Emerson & Hopper, 2001, p. xiii)

MODULE 3
The Divine Feminine: Living with the Elements, Seasons, Moon and Cycles of Nature.
At our core of us all is this POTENT Divine Feminine energy that is surging forward in consciousness currently. As humans we have been taught to believe that we are disconnected from this source and yet, it is our time to remember that we are so inherently connected to our environment and our emotional patterns that flow with Nature and Astrological patterns. Each season has a different momentum and when we are truly embodied with this, we can live our lives in a way that is full of contentment and complete acceptance of self. We hold the power to protect Mother nature and each other by living in accordance with these truths.

Our Shadow side is the seed that can also set us free. We all have aspects of self that remain out of awareness and by learning about them we can come to a deeper place of acceptance and unconditional love for self. We can remain soft and sensitive in the world, yet light, playful and fierce in out potency. Shadow work allows us to remain in the light.

Embodied Practices
Self regulation is an important part of any healing work. It supports the other to also self -regulate and this is the place where we can meet in connection.

Community is a big pillar of Gestalt Psychotherapy and many different indigenous tribes.

We cannot do things alone and need each other to thrive.

✓ You will learn to connect to yourself and others
✓ The power of healing in community
✓ Learn how to co-regulate the group and support greater healing
