A Journey of Compassion and Skill
In the realm of sexuality and intimacy, the presence of trauma is a reality that touches many of our participants' lives. Trauma is a reality of our human experience, and especially in relational spaces, it can not be ignored or bypassed.
As facilitators, we have a profound responsibility to create containers that not only invite wonderful healing and transformation but also prioritize safety, consent, and attunement.
The Trauma-Informed Facilitation course is your guide to holding space with the utmost care, wisdom, and skill, so that your offerings can be truly healing and empowering for all.

Become a
Confident and Safer Spaceholder
If you're drawn to facilitation and leadership work, you likely have a deep desire to want to help people feel more empowered, loved, and thriving by letting go of old wounds and shame.
Without trauma-informed training, you risk experiencing a lack of confidence or integrity in taking your students into deeper work, and falling short in how you support your students when trauma arises, which can impact your career and possibly cause unintentional harm in your students. A lot of this comes from simple ignorance through a lack of understanding of the mechanisms and patterns of trauma, and having education around this topic can support us and our students in so many ways.
Trauma is a universal experience. Everyone carries it in some form, and it will inevitably appear in your work, especially in fields like Tantra, intimacy, sexuality, and sensuality.
But don't worry—it doesn't have to be excessively intimidating, or require you to bubble-wrap your students or stop offering what you offer! We can learn how to shift the way we guide to create safer and more empowering spaces while keeping the magic and transformational energy.
Understanding trauma and how to support those affected will give you the confidence to run your events smoothly and take your work to the next level.
It’s easier than you think! Simple steps can make your spaces more trauma-informed, reducing the risk of retraumatization and triggers. Things like focusing on consent, offering more choices, encouraging authenticity, and recognising the group dynamics at play.
Our course is here to upgrade your skills and knowledge, enabling you to offer your work with greater care, love, and integrity. You'll feel more confident and ready to face any challenge that comes your way!
Join us to transform your facilitation skills and create safer, more supportive spaces for everyone.
