EMBODIED FREEDOM Spaceholder Training
Become an empowering force for transformation
In life, you're always holding space—either consciously or unconsciously. Unconscious spaceholding leads to unintended results, while conscious spaceholding allows for intentional outcomes while making the extraordinary possible.
Dates for April & May 2026 in Golden Bay to be confirmed, get in touch if you are interested!
This training is not about following a method, as with a facilitator training. Instead, it's about becoming the space. The spaces you hold are shaped by who you are.
Explore tools and distinctions that allow you to transform and embody the spaceholder you're meant to be. This process invites you to discover the spaces alive within you and to step into them with clarity and authenticity.
Music and movement act as the ground for our exploration as we unfold the wisdom that our feelings have to contribute. Our unique gifts and archaetypal energy shine through when we're balanced in each of our physical, emotional, mental and energetic bodies.
Learn practical tools and distinctions, and implement them to stay centred while holding space on your own, and as part of a team. Leave with the confidence to take your next step, whether holding a women’s circle, meditation retreat, conflict resolution space or a personal interest group.
“I have just been absolutely blown away by whats been on offer, and how thats allowed me to drop the expectations, drop the structure, the plan.”

Rooted in Possibility Management, this training fosters emotional curiosity and inner navigation, empowering participants to hold space from a grounded, open-hearted place. Embodied Freedom invites each person to embrace their emotions and navigate with their feelings by embodying their the five bodies—emotional, physical, energetic, mental, and archetypal—creating spaces where genuine transformation and connection can unfold.
Following this training you will be empowered to:
-
You’ll learn how to step into genuine collaboration with a team - letting creation flow from this place, not just from yourself.
This is a skill that not only enhances your ability to co-create but also fosters community, allowing everyone to bring their strengths together.
-
This training helps you heal from school and modern culture by encouraging play, experimentation, and allowing things to unfold without overthinking.
It’s about giving things a go, embracing mistakes, and learning through experience. This is the real 'getting it right'!
-
You’ll practice listening to your impulses and acting on them before filtering through the mind.
This cultivates an unfiltered creativity and intuition, allowing you to connect more deeply with your natural flow.
-
Through this training you'll be able to experience music as a form of medicine that can shift energy and facilitate healing.
-
During this training you’ll refine your ability to sense, work with, and align the five bodies (physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and archetypal), helping you tune into your purpose.
You’ll be able to hold space for others with a greater awareness of how these bodies interact, allowing for a more nuanced and effective facilitation of spaces.
Mistakes are celebrated, and a collaborative environment helps people discover their unique expression and take a stand for their creations.
“I didn’t know how to feel other than an overwhelm of mixed emotions.
Now l’ve learned how I can feel anger and fear and sadness and joy in such a beautiful, conscious way, and be able to really tune in and express that.”
Training Together To Create Transformation
This training is experiential - we move and learn from our bodies together. We live and create a village together for 4 days, supporting and holding space for ourselves and each other.
The community-based environment creates a support network for internal shifts to continue: for ongoing evolution in your life.
This is a space where everyone is learning and growing. You will transform with feedback and coaching along the way.
Express yourself in new and authentic ways.
You will also leave with practical documentation of the processes and distinctions in the form of booklets and notes.
Create extraordinary spaces!!
Practise emotional freedom and train inner strength to create spaces where hearts can open!!
“This really is about creating a container and a space where people can experience shifts in their internal world.”
“l’m just in awe right now at what is possible when people come together that are willing to radically grow.”
