  • A fast-track certification without personal practice

  • A prescriptive formula for “how to facilitate”

An embodied approach to facilitation

This training emphasizes:

  • In Person Experience and 5-Day Immersion

  • Live Embodiment Sessions and Personal Practice

  • Live Facilitator Sessions and Group Practice

  • Follow Up Mentorship and Online Group Call
