A 9-month hybrid training for facilitators, coaches, and space holders who are already working with people, and know something deeper is required.

9 Months · Live Online Training · 2 In-Person Immersions · Small Cohort

You may already be holding spaces.

Workshops, circles, sessions, retreats.
People trust you. They open with you. Something real happens.

And still, there are moments that feel unclear.

When the room shifts and you’re not sure whether to step in or step back.
When someone opens deeply and the energy changes.
When tension rises and you feel the weight of the space.

These are the moments that define a facilitator.

And most people were never taught how to meet them.

The Three Pillars of the Journey

01 - Become the Instrument

Embodied Leadership

  • Deepen your relationship with power, projection, shadow, authority and responsibility.

  • Develop the inner capacity required to lead others without abandoning yourself.

02 - Master the Craft

Facilitation

  • Learn to read a room, work with resistance, hold intensity, understand group dynamics, frame transformational experiences and respond intelligently to what emerges.

03 - Build the Work

Business & Livelihood

  • Turn your craft into coherent, sustainable work.

  • Develop your offers, positioning, pricing, marketing, financial understanding and business systems so your vocation can support both your purpose and your life.

Success Stories

For the past three years, I’ve run facilitator trainings exclusively within Emergence Brotherhood.

The impact has been real.
The work has travelled.

Now, I’m opening this body of work to a wider circle.

Here are some of the success stories for men who have been through the facilitator training:

♦ Gabriel – Facilitating regular temples, men’s circles, and Emergence Brotherhood New York. Organising ISTA Canada and New York.

♦ Adnan – Facilitating retreats in Pakistan and now officially ISTA Apprentice

♦ Siddhartha – Organising ISTA India, facilitated at several festivals now official facilitator with Awaken As Love.

♦ Aman – Facilitating retreats in UK

♦ David & Charlie – Running regular circles in Berlin

♦ Simon – Facilitating regular temple retreats and men’s retreats in Berlin

♦ Daniel – Facilitating men’s groups in Sweden

♦ Roel – Facilitating men’s circles in the Netherlands

♦ Tom – Facilitating breath-work journeys in the UK

This is when shadow work becomes integrated.
When initiation becomes embodiment.
When leadership becomes lived.

The next cohort will be small.
The standard remains high.

Will we be writing about your success in the future?
