"This is an amazing learning opportunity to discover and understand a way to help people like no other modality. And these two sweet, gentle, caring souls have wonderful gifts and so much to offer. They not only teach the mechanics of the process but their specialty is the spiritual aspects of this training. And to me, that is the most important part of this training." ~ WN
In our current healing and psychological world, we have seen that traditional therapies and pharmaceuticals no longer or have not worked for many of our clients, especially over the last few years. It seems to have brought about more and more frustration and feelings of helplessness on our parts as practitioners and surely for clients. Therefore, we and they need more options other than prescription medications and/or CBT, meditation, talk therapy, narrative therapy, etc.
We have spoken to many experienced healing practitioners who have a desire and passion to learn more about transformational plant-spirit medicine, holding safe and sacred space, and how to use them both therapeutically to bring hope and support their clients who are stuck or who have been labeled with "treatment resistant depression," and the like.
Some also have shared they do not understand or weren't ever taught how to create and hold safe and deeply-held space for their clients (or for themselves) in any particular way and would love to learn more.
It is for those reasons and more we have decided and are honored to offer this Sacred Immersion Training Program. It's time to connect your clients to their deepest parts of themselves for transformational healing in a safe and sacred environment filled with compassion, caring, and authenticity.
Please continue to read below for more information, the logistics, the tuition, and how to apply to become a part of our Sacred Immersion Training Program. We are looking forward to connecting with you and supporting you in this safe, sacred way so you may support your clients in breaking through their barriers and suffering to move forward in life.

Why we created SIT...
Michaelene
As the study of plant-spirit medicine grows, it is IMPERATIVE that we remember and HONOR the Sacredness of the plant-spirit medicines, where they came from, and the indigenous peoples’ wisdom and cultivation as well as the ancestral and community connections, and the Sacredness of clients and their experiences.
The interest in plant-spirit medicine has bloomed exponentially and as in past experiences in my life around healing modalities and alternative approaches to the medical model, the sacredness of said things often gets forgotten, put aside, dismissed, or capitalism takes a front seat. For me, this is a travesty and one of the reasons I wanted to create a training for others who would like to do this healing work. It is putting people/clients and the plant-spirit medicine first. I also believe that the more people we have out there willing and qualified to hold safe space deeply in this way the better for individuals, societies, and the world. Sacredness, respect, honor, and the ceremonial holding of space should always be at the forefront when working in this way. Martina
When Michaelene invited me to co-facilitate this Sacred Immersion Training one of the first questions I asked myself was WHY would I embark on this journey?
As I sat with this question I was reminded that my first teacher on my healing path was a shaman trained in The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition. She taught about AYNI which means reciprocity, the relationships that exist among people as well as their relationship with Mother Earth, Pachamama. I learned that being in right relationship included not just our human relations but our relationship with all of Pachamama's inhabitants, animals and plants. Over the years all the teachers that I have studied with have added depth to this understanding for me. For so many people our Western allopathic paradigm has not been successful in addressing healing and transformation from pain, suffering, trauma and illness. I have witnessed this first hand in my years as a RN in the medical community. Now many people are turning to plant spirit medicine to seek help and healing of the body, mind and spirit. Having spent many years doing this work for myself in a sacred ceremonial way I felt the heart call to become part of a training that honors and teaches the importance of creating sacred space and being in right relationship with these plant spirit teachers. To understand the need for wisdom and discernment when doing this work. To hold a safe and ceremonial healing space to unlock our own inner wisdom, self healing capacity and to connect to Spirit in our own authentic manner. |

Sacredness

Transformational HealingResearch of this modality has shown the ability to break through walls that have been there for many years, helping yourself and your clients to move forward while processing trauma and decreasing symptoms of challenging emotional experiences. In our SIT Program, we honor and support you in finding the sacredness of what it means to be a practitioner that creates and holds safe and sacred space for themselves and others.
Our in-person weekend required sessions are transformational, informational, ceremonial, and experiential. One bonus of this program is that you get to do some healing for yourself while learning how to dive deeply with others through their sacred journeys. |
Community & ConnectionOur intention is always to create safe and sacred spaces so that everyone receives all they need at any moment in this process. This is what we hold for our SIT Program as well; a deeply healing journey personally and with others in community.
We promote community and connecting throughout this training in many ways, for example: holding meetings in between weekends, our 4-month monthly cohort supervision meetings, emails, and while we are all sharing ceremonial, safe and sacred space on the weekends. |

Immersive & IntegrativeOur SIT Program is an immersive experience in many ways. It is our belief that we learn best by experiencing and immersing ourselves into what we'd like to eventually to hold for others. You will learn how to create, prepare, and hold safe and sacred space on the different levels of consciousness: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual - for yourself, your cohorts, and your clients.
You will also learn more about transformational plant-spirit medicine and how it works with those levels of consciousness. You will explore more about yourself as a person, sacred space holder, and practitioner as well as define what sacredness means and looks like to you. And you will learn the practical and the sacred in a created by community connections with others and more deeply with yourself. |
