LOOKING TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOWARDS HOLDING YOUR OWN CEREMONIES, RETREATS OR TRANSFORMATIONAL WORKSHOPS? READY TO FINE TUNE YOUR SPACE-HOLDING SKILLS TO SUPPORT DEEP WORK IN YOUR STUDENTS? 

“Sacred Space” a 50hr Training in Ceremonial Facilitation with Kula Collective founders Ananda, Coby and Jiya is a chance to work with three experienced space holders to learn the tools you need to know to master the fine art of ceremonial and transformational facilitation.

In the lush valley of Tzununa on the shores of one of the most energetically powerful places in the world, Lake Atitlan, we will come together to study and experience what it means to hold a safe and potent container for spiritual work.

Cultivating sacred space is an art, one that takes constant awareness and management of multiple inputs and energies. Building a toolbox of skills and offerings alongside an understanding of how to work with a wide range of possible situations will prepare you to draw out the threads you are looking for, ultimately building confidence and power in your work.

In this 6 day, 50 hr Yoga Alliance-certified training we will explore the meaning, context and structure of sacred space, including; how to navigate the many facets of facilitating a supportive environment; the creation and maintenance of strong energetic boundaries; the nuances and skills of holding ceremony in multiple forms; techniques for deepening self study and integrating meaningful change; tools for cleansing and clearing; building resilience and adaptation ability as a facilitator; and the underlying art of opening yourself to the flow and being a channel for spirit. 

Throughout the training you will receive multiple opportunities for experimentation and feedback amongst a group of like-minded and supportive peers, as well as receiving your own experience of a ceremonial sweat and full moon fire ceremony as offered by your skilled facilitators.

Join us to awaken the power of your spirit while living in a conscious eco-friendly community space tucked in the majestic mountains of incredible Lake Atitlán. Stand strong in your sovereignty and stay explorative in your collaboration, as you build trust in yourself as a facilitator. Learn the mastery of listening and observation as you co-create with Spirit. Step into your power as the master of ceremony that you are.
