QUARTER 3

Leading the Movement  

You’ve done the inner work. Now it’s time to bring it to the world. This phase helps you own your voice, design your own signature experience, and lead with charisma, clarity, and purpose.

In this phase, you'll learn to:

✓ Design transformational group arcs, retreats, and workshop

✓ Practice stage presence, storytelling, and soul-based speaking

Step Into Your Calling...Finally

You're here because you've been feeling the pull for some time—to lead, to transform, to embody the change you wish to see in the world.

This isn't just a training; it's a rite of passage into the realm of embodied leadership

This is for you if….

— You feel a deep calling to lead transformational spaces but seek the tools and confidence to do so effectively.

You're a coach, healer, facilitator (or aspiring one) ready to deepen your impact through somatic and trauma-informed practices.

You desire to design and lead workshops, retreats, or group programs that create lasting change.

You're committed to mastering the art of facilitation—from messaging to marketing—to build a soul-aligned business.

You desire to cultivate a career and community that make you feel deeply alive and aligned with your purpose.

This isn’t for you if…

 

You’re looking for a quick certification to slap on your Instagram bio.

 You aren’t willing to show up and be seen—in your power and in your edge.

 You prefer theory over practice.

 You’re uncomfortable being in your body, being witnessed, or giving and receiving feedback.

 You’re not willing to prioritize your growth, attend live immersions, or stretch beyond your comfort zone.

 You’re not serious about creating a career in facilitation, coaching, or leadership.
