This six-month online training is the first step in a two-phase certification process.

Upon completing 100 hours of coursework over the six months, you will be equipped to confidently integrate the Culture of Care into your professional and personal practices. Meaning that you will be able to support individuals and groups with trauma-informed principles of safety, regulation, and care.


Through the successful completion of the course materials and the final assessment, you will receive a certificate from the Culture of Care (accredited by IPHM), designating you as a Certified Trauma-Informed Space Holder.

Completing this initial phase certifies you as a “Certified Trauma-Informed Space Holder through Culture of Care & The Field.” However, it does not grant certification as a “Field Facilitator” nor does it permit the direct use of this brand or name in advertising your work or events.

If you seek full certification as a Field Facilitator, you will need to complete an additional six-month online mentorship following the initial training.

During the mentorship, you will engage in monthly individual and group coaching sessions, where you will have the opportunity to apply trauma-informed principles while leading your own groups or sessions. You will also receive guidance on real-world practical challenges that may arise in your practice.

This second phase of certification offers limited spaces and is exclusively available to graduates of the first phase.

Upon successfully completing both steps— the six-month online training and the six-month mentorship, totalling one year—you will be certified as a
“Certified Trauma-Informed Space Holder with Culture of Care and a Certified Field Facilitator.”

 

What You’ll Experience:

  • Trauma-Informed Education with Culture of Care: You will embody the principles of trauma-informed care, learning how to create group spaces where every participant feels safe, supported, and empowered to engage in transformational work.
  • Emergent Group Facilitation: Learn how to read and respond to the energy of a group in real time, allowing the wisdom of the collective to guide the process. You will develop the intuitive and embodied skills needed to facilitate spaces where magic happens.
  • Holding a Safe, Brave Space: Navigate the delicate balance of creating spaces that are both structured enough for safety and fluid enough for authenticity. You'll learn to cultivate an environment that allows for both individual and collective transformation.
  • Nervous System Awareness: Gain mastery over the nervous system dynamics within group settings, understanding how to regulate your own system and help others feel secure enough to engage fully.
  • Leadership Through Embodiment: Develop your presence as a leader who embodies the qualities of compassion, attunement, and resilience. This isn’t about doing more—it’s about being more. The facilitator’s essence and consciousness is the key to creating a truly transformational group field.
  • Regenerative Self-Care: Learn how to center yourself and expand your capacity to hold safe, regulated spaces for others by prioritizing your own well-being and energetic boundaries.
  • Regenerative Business Skills: Discover how to plan and host events in alignment with your natural rhythms, avoiding burnout by embracing sustainable practices that allow you to receive as much as you give.
  • Money Relationship: Develop a secure, embodied relationship with money, fostering receptivity and ease as you allow financial flow to support you in your personal and professional life.

How can you create transformational spaces responsibly--- so that the space is both held enough that everyone in it feels safe to be brave but open enough that everyone feels free to be authentic?

Program Highlights:

  • Field Facilitation Training: Delve deep into the art of facilitating "the field," the energy that arises in group settings. You will learn how to guide participants beyond the surface, working with the mystical and practical elements of group energy, nervous system dynamics, and emergent wisdom.
  • Culture of Care: Provides a comprehensive trauma-informed education, offering tools for ethical leadership, relational skills, and the power dynamics that arise in facilitation. You’ll learn to hold the high standards of care needed to ensure that your spaces are healing and inclusive.
  • Embodiment & Somatics: Become fluent in the language of the body, tuning into the subtle cues and sensations that guide the flow of group dynamics. You will build the skills to lead from an embodied place, responding to what the group needs moment-to-moment.
  • Practical Leadership Skills: Gain hands-on experience in event creation, from marketing to space-holding. You’ll learn to set up the physical and energetic container needed for your work to have the greatest impact, while also stepping into your unique leadership style.
  • Live Facilitation Practicum: Apply everything you’ve learned to your own live real-world events, where you’ll co-create, produce, and facilitate group experiences then bring those experiences back into the training for reflection, integration and supervision. This immersive practice will cement your skills and help you find your unique facilitation voice.
