Facilitating Sacred Space

A Five-Month Online Training

Sacred Space is a liminal threshold between the known and unknown, the manifest and unmanifest. When tended with care, it is a place where healing and miracles can happen––providing a place of restoration, alignment, and possibility for all who gather. 

This course is open to anyone who is called to this work, and is designed to create a sense of fluency and confidence in offering and facilitating sacred spaces for oneself and for others. This course will introduce participants to both the technology of invoking the Sacred, as well as the Soul-connecting skills needed to create and hold containers that are informed by––and infused with––the Sacred. 

What You’ll Get From This Course

Through this 5-month journey, you’ll receive both practical tools and soul-centered guidance to help you confidently create and tend sacred spaces—within yourself, your relationships, and your work with others.

You’ll receive:

• Five live 2.5-hour online gatherings blending teachings, embodied practice, and experiential learning.

• A personal 1:1 session with Melody or Katie to clarify your intentions and personalize your path through the course.

• Practices, reflections, and homeplay invitations to deepen your relationship with the Sacred between sessions.

• Peer connection opportunities for shared reflection and integration.

• Ongoing access to recordings and resources to revisit teachings and practices in your own time.

• A supportive community of kindred spirits exploring the art of sacred facilitation together.
