Why I No Longer Train Facilitators After 5 Days — Part 2: The Intention Behind the Initiation Training

In recent years, the field of energy work has expanded rapidly. While this evolution holds great promise, it also carries responsibility. A responsibility to honor the depth of what it truly means to hold space for another human being.

I’ve witnessed how easily facilitation can be reduced to a technique, something performed, learned quickly, and offered after a short training. But just because someone can move energy or transmit after five days does not mean they are ready to meet the fullness of what arises in others.

Facilitation is not about performance. It is about presence, discernment, and integrity. It is about being a clear mirror for transformation. And this requires something much deeper than tools or methods. It requires embodiment.

I meet many facilitators, sincere and devoted people, who carry a quiet sense that something is missing. A feeling of having skipped a step. Others arrive with confidence, eager to share this work, yet they haven’t yet walked through the deeper stages of their own journey. And without that, something essential remains untouched.

This training is for those who sense there is more.

It is not a facilitator certification. It is an initiation. A space to deepen your relationship with this energy, with yourself, and with the sacred intelligence that guides this work. It is for those ready to invest in their own growth, to build a strong and embodied foundation, whether or not they choose to facilitate later on.

Because to hold this energy for others, we must first know how to hold it within ourselves.

What we carry, we transmit.

This is why I no longer is comfortable to train facilitators after a five-day immersion. The field is already filled with practitioners. What we need now is depth, maturity, and those who walk with reverence and responsibility.

Many become attached to the early stages of this process. Energy movements, emotional releases, the intensity of it all. But that is not the destination. When we loop through the same experiences without integration, the work becomes a cycle, not a path.

This process is not meant to keep us spinning. It is meant to transform us. To realign us with the intelligence of life, with our own soul. And while surrender in a session opens the door, it is how we live, integrate, and embody those shifts that determines the depth of our evolution.

That takes time. That takes devotion.

And for those who feel a true calling to later step into facilitation, this foundation changes everything. They will not be facilitating from the surface, but from a place of lived understanding. Their work will carry more integrity, more clarity, and a deeper resonance. They will be able to hold more, and they will bring a greater quality of presence to this field.

This path is not for everyone, and it shouldn't be. But for those who feel the call inward, who are ready to walk with humility, clarity, and love, this is the beginning of something lasting.

If the path calls you inward, follow it. That is where the real initiation begins.

And if, after walking that path, it becomes clear that this work wants to move through you, then we walk together into the next stage. Not because you were certified, but because you are truly ready.
