The Return to Self Facilitator Training
To guide someone through the Return to Self Method™, you begin by experiencing the work yourself. You’ll learn to recognize your own patterns, practise the Method, and develop the skill and presence to hold this work for others.
For people ready to become the work they teach
The Facilitator Training teaches you to hold the Return to Self Method™ for other people: somatic and energetic technique, nervous-system awareness, ethics, safety and boundaries, learned through your own body first.
- You’ve experienced the power of this work firsthand and feel called to share it.
- You’re tired of collecting certifications without real embodiment.
- You want deeper, more intuitive, more transformational tools.
- You understand that facilitation starts with your own nervous system, not just knowledge.
You cannot teach what you have only intellectually learned. This is not for people looking for a quick certification.

The training experience
Before Bali — Learn and embody the work
Your weekly group calls begin 12 weeks before the Bali immersion. You’ll experience the Method in your own body while learning the foundations of nervous-system awareness, somatic and energetic work, active listening, ethics, safety, and boundaries.
In Bali — Practise holding the work
During the 10-day immersion, you’ll stay with the group for 10 nights and bring what you’ve learned into live practice. Through demonstrations, supervised facilitation, feedback, and embodied learning, you’ll develop the confidence to hold this work with others.
After Bali — Integrate and refine
For three months after the immersion, weekly group calls support you as you apply what you’ve learned. You’ll bring questions and real facilitation experiences into the group, receive guidance, and continue refining your practice.
What certification requires
You become a Return to Self Facilitator after completing the training, including the 10-day Bali immersion and the three months of integration that follow.
