Sacred Space Facilitator Course

Sacred Space Facilitator (Course 3) 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.

Training Structure: Online Preparation + In-Person Immersion

This is a hybrid initiation-style training designed to build knowledge first — then embody it fully in person.

Phase 1 — Online Preparation (4 Weeks)

Starts: Tuesday 25th February | 9:00pm (60 mins weekly)

Over four live online sessions you will:

• Learn core facilitation foundations • Understand energetic safety and boundaries • Prepare your nervous system and leadership presence • Develop your facilitation framework • Build confidence before stepping into live group work

This ensures when you arrive in person — you are ready to practice, not just learn theory.

Phase 2 — In-Person Practical Immersion

Friday 28th March — Full Practical Training Day

This is where everything comes alive.

You will:

• Practice opening and closing sacred space • Facilitate real circle exercises • Lead mini ceremonies • Work with live group energy • Receive feedback, mentoring and embodiment guidance • Anchor your leadership presence in the body

This day is about integration, confidence and embodiment — not sitting listening to slides.

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.

    — Shane, Cork
