Sacred Space Facilitator Certification
SPEND ONE OR TWO ALL-INCLUSIVE WEEKS IN BEAUTIFUL COSTA RICA AT A 5-STAR RETREAT CENTER
Hello Fellow Imiloa Hosts!
I am the Executive Director at Yoga Farm Ithaca, an international Yoga School. We do a lot of work in the healing arts world, and Imiloa is one of our favorite places to facilitate learning and healing.
We know you are great at the content you share with your participants, clients and students. But do you ever feel like you want more support in creating a community that lasts beyond the week you spend together? Or would you like more help creating rituals that serve to open and close your retreat weeks? Do you feel equipped to guide students as they move through living in a conscious community, student relationship dynamics and close living quarters.
Let’s be honest, hosting retreats can be like being a teacher, healer, dormitory resident advisor, therapist, coach, conflict mediator, parent and business owner at once. That is a lot!!
As experienced retreat hosts, who chose Imiloa as your venue, I know that you must be committed to beautiful space holding. I want everyone who attends retreats to feel safe and supported as they move through the process of pilgrimage. I want every retreat host to feel their cups FILL UP as they facilitate and not get burned out in the process.
Which is why we have created this course. In this immersion you will have the opportunity to learn through observation, facilitation and experience how to be the retreat host who takes time for their own practice and healing, so you can show up energized for every participant interaction that can unfold. You have the opportunity to train as a Yoga Instructor, even if you don’t see yourself in this role, learning yogic aspects of physical practice can help facilitate the deep healing that goes on in the mental body. Our participants can go so far in their healing path on retreat, they can feel safer and have more autonomy in that healing when movement arts are involved.
With love and appreciation,
Jeannie O’Neill
