The Earth Temple: Center of Prayer & School of Shamanic Arts Presents:
~ Initiation ~
Sacred Facilitator Training
We are honored to be on this sacred journey with you~
Initiation is for you if:
You have the calling to guardian, facilitate and/or be in deeper work with the Shamanic Arts ~
Shadow Work (being with, digesting, expressing & WITNESSING - anger, grief, rage, loneliness, fear) & Shine Work (sharing their gifts, message & love)This is for those who love & want to share the flora, fauna & fungi medicines in ritual & cerermony.
You want to explore the art of sacred, safe, freeing, inclusive & playful space holding.
You are wanting a safe space to explore deeper magic, shamanism, witchcraft through a NATURE AS TEACHER lens.
You have been doing the inner work for at least 5 years AND you desire to do this work in a collective.
You desire a training that is trauma-informed, aware of cultural appreciation & care, centering children, women, elders, the most vulnerable, the most oppressed & those who are here to deconstruct colonial, patriarchal capitalism.
“My intention was definitely met and deepened. I came in with the intention of personal exploration and opening my voice and leadership. My voice cracked through new layers during this journey.
The calls were some of my first experiences leading prayers for people—this alone was LIFE-CHANGING. I REPEAT, LIFE. CHANGING.
Getting in touch with the part of myself that is ready to drop into prayer at any moment—not thinking about how it should sound or what people are thinking of me, and truly just tapping into MY divine connection in that moment—ummmmm yeah, these are the training grounds my soul was craving. That practice alone has helped me find a moment-to-moment connection to that place and a deepening of my faith. Truly grateful.”

We will go at the pace of the group, meaning there may be times when we need to address what is alive in the group, rather than the regularly scheduled curriculum.
“That it is a profound, expansive, challenging and beautiful journey into ones and others souls. That you must be willing to look at yourself deeply without fear to truly receive the gifts you were born to bring. To be open to truly be initiated into this journey that is life and accept the beauty and the pain of that openness. It has been the most painful and most beautiful experience of my life”

We are NOT just teaching skills.
We are TRANSMITTING EXPERIENCES
in order for you to EMBODY the WISDOM of sacred, safe space holding.
“If you want to ACTUALLY transform, this is the space for you. You can play at whatever level you want to—of course. You can show up to the calls, or not, but regardless of how much you choose to participate, in my opinion, the depth of such an intimate circle, led by Briana (master teacher of WHAT IS in every moment), will crack you open.
This journey is not about ticking off any boxes in the healing journey; it's about legitimately investing in your personal expansion. You will be surrounded by some of the deepest people this planet has to offer—you will see yourself in new lights, and you will be asked to expand outside of your comfort zone. If you feel the call—even if it makes you nervous to think about—I strongly urge you to join. You simply can't come out the same on the other side.”

“Briana is amazing and holds so much wisdom, that goes without saying.She is fully embodied in her teachings and is very intuitive in her feedback. She handles things with grace and wisdom and knows how to hone into the undercurrents of what you're saying, in a firm yet gentle way. A skill I admire and have learned from.
