Sacred Space Facilitator
Confidently Hold Circles, Ceremonies & Rituals
Deepen your intuitive gifts, master advanced energy-healing techniques, and confidently hold space at a soul level. (IPHM Accredited)
The world needs safe, sacred spaces — and skilled facilitators to hold them. Sacred Space Facilitator is our IPHM-accredited training designed to help you confidently lead circles, ceremonies, and rituals. Whether you’re a healer, coach, or space-holder-in-training, this module gives you the structure, skills, and energetic mastery to guide groups through transformative experiences with clarity and care.
This course is offered in two formats — either as four weekly live online sessions plus a one-day in-person retreat, or entirely online if you prefer to complete it remotely. Both formats deliver the same accredited curriculum, live mentorship, and certification, so you can choose the path that best fits your life.

Testimonials
-
Before this training I loved attending circles but had no idea how to run one myself. Sacred Space Facilitator gave me everything — structure, scripts, and the energetic skills to keep a group safe. I led my first women’s circle a month after graduating and it was magical
— Laura, Kilkenny
-
I had been facilitating small gatherings but always doubted my ability to hold space for deeper work. Christine’s course showed me how to blend ritual with trauma-informed practice so everyone feels supported. I now run monthly circles and they sell out every time.
— Aoibhinn, Galway
-
The combination of online learning and the in-person retreat day was perfect. I learned at my own pace and then practised live under Christine’s guidance. The templates, scripts, and feedback have transformed how I lead groups and my confidence as a space holder.
