My parents taught me to talk to the trees\, spirits\, use natural medicines\, and sit in stillness for hours with all of nature\, observing and being. I spent my days in the trees\, fields\, and countryside. It is in my blood. My mum taught me to speak to realms beyond me and to use the resources of the earth for our own wellness. This has been enhanced over the years and especially the last 15 years of my own experience\, moving away from the systems that we were born into and training in varying methods of Natural Health\, blessed with learning the science behind what makes us heal from the best in the business\, and walking the ley lines and sitting with the stones and sacred sites. \nI want to share this way of being with everyone\, in service. \n  \nYou are all welcome! \n  \nSending you love \n  \nxxxxx \n  \nPlease note I am not a licensed clinical psychotherapist\, I am a trained trauma informed therapist (my qualifications and certifications are on the home page)\, this is a psycho educational learning and experiencing space\, and although I have studied these subjects and tools with trained experts and used them for 15 years\, I am still far from perfect\, so there is no expectation for you to be either. We are all walking each other home. This is a safe\, confidential space without judgement.

SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Facilitator Training Face to Face and Online May - July 2026
DESCRIPTION:Trauma Informed Facilitator Training – Face to Face and Online May – July 2026. Sundays 2pm – 6pm May and June/10am – 2pm July. \n  \nAs more of us are embracing the magic of healing – somatic work\, psychedelics\, breathwork\, sound healing\, cacao ceremonies etc and holding space for others…. it becomes imperative that we have a solid training in trauma and attachment work\, medical contraindications\, codes of ethics\, spiritual emergency\, legalities and what to do if things go wrong. Stuff WILL come up in this space\, and I want to support you to hold a safe\, ethical\, container for healing work. \nAfter nearly 20 years of facilitation of various trauma healing modalities and making my own series of mistakes\, of not doing the right thing\, or of being pulled unethically by desires or fears… AND 15 years of training\, with some of the worlds leading trainers in trauma informed work\, in how to show up in a trauma sensitive way\, and how to deal with things when they go wrong. \nThe course consists of teachings gleaned not just from my own experience but also insights and teachings from the likes of Dr Gabor Mate\, Dr Stephen Porges\, Dr Diane Poole Heller\, Dr Stanislav Grof\, Michael Stone\, Brack Jeffries\, Kylea Taylor\, Marshall Rosenberg and many others. \nThe subjects are built around a culmination of the essential foundations I feel are important for a facilitator who wishes to really hold a safe\, non judgemental\, present container for their clients. \nAnd yes things will still come up in the spaces\, but you will know how to handle them\, even in crisis. \nThe first 6 modules are focussed on self reflection and awareness\, and so there is an aspect of this work that you need to be ready to dive into. Many of these self reflection sessions have somatic work or physical exercises and will be held face to face in a group session held at The Sanctuary in Gozo\, to support your process. \nDue to this aspect and the sensitive nature of many of the subjects\, it is imperative that you have your own therapeutic support engaged to support you outside of the course container as while this is a sensitively held psychoeducational space\, it is not therapy\, it is for sharing and teaching of knowledge\, tools and skills. \nThe course is done both face to face (for certain sessions) and then online for the subjects that are less sensitive/more theory based. \nThis space is LGBTQI friendly and all diversity of identification\, gender\, sexuality\, race are welcome in the space. \nThe course will close with a written assessment to ensure you have gleaned the foundational concepts\, and then you will be awarded a certificate on successful completion. \nFYI: There will be an introductory call for all participants\, to ensure that the course is the right fit for you\, and to speak about any potential trauma triggers that may arise for you from the subject matter\, to ensure I can support you best. \nEmail globalgreenevents@gmail.com to book! \n  \nSession Programme (4hours a week – Sundays 2pm – 6pm May and June/10am – 2pm July): \n  \nModule 1 (10th May): \nTrauma and Attachment \nOn Site at The Sanctuary\, Gozo \n  \nModule 2 (17th May):  \nNeurobiology and Regulation \nOptional Online \n  \nModule 3 (24th May):  \nSelf Awareness and Emotional Triggers \nOn Site at The Sanctuary\, Gozo \n  \nModule 4 (31st May):  \nCompassion and Client Interaction \nOn Site at The Sanctuary\, Gozo \n  \nModule 5 (7th June):  \nProjection\, Transference and Countertransference \nOptional Online \n  \nModule 6 (14th June):  \nTrauma Sensitivity and Techniques \nOn Site at The Sanctuary\, Gozo \n  \nModule 7 (5th July):  \nCode of Ethics and Legal Considerations \nOptional Online \n  \nModule 8 (12th July):  \nMedical Contraindications and Expanded States of Awareness \nOptional Online \n  \nModule 9 (19th July):  \nSpiritual Emergence\, Emergency\, Psychosis and Suicide Ideation \nOptional Online \n  \nModule 10 (26th July):  \nCrisis Management\, Integration and Ongoing Support \nOptional Online \n  \n  \nEmail globalgreenevents@gmail.com to book! \n  \nLimited spaces available. \nIf you struggle with the investment to do this course\, please contact me directly on globalgreenevents@gmail.com. \nPlease note I am not a licensed clinical psychotherapist\, I am a trained trauma informed therapist (my qualifications and certifications are on the home page)\, this is a psycho educational learning and experiencing space\, and although I have studied these subjects and tools with trained experts and used them for 15 years\, I am still far from perfect\, so there is no expectation for you to be either.
