PLAY-BASED FACILITATOR TRAINING

Are you ready to bring more joy, depth, connection, and self-expression into your workshops, retreats, or group programs?

Do you desire to offer facilitation that doesn’t rely on deep processing or emotional intensity, but instead uses play, presence, and experiential games to create connection and transformation?

Are you desiring to lead from your authentic expression and creative joy - making a real impact doing what truly lights you up?

If you can say ‘yes’ to any of these, then you’re in the right place....

Whether you're a coach, speaker, healer, space-holder, business owner, team leader or creative - this training is for you.

Welcome to the Play-Based Facilitator Training - a practical, experiential, and joyful immersion where you’ll learn to create group spaces that are brave, embodied, connected, and fun (without losing depth).

✨ You’ll receive exclusive access to new games and practices being tested and refined

✨ You’ll be asked to give feedback and insights that help shape the future format

✨ You’ll be known as a Founding Play-Based Facilitator - part of the original crew who helped bring this movement to life

✨ And you’ll receive it at a one-time founding price of just $597 (future rounds will be $2k+)

If you love being part of something fresh, creative, and emerging - this is for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT

This 4-day in-person training is packed with hands-on games, practices, and tools that will bring more creativity, connection, and aliveness into your facilitation.

✨ Learn 25+ plug-and-play games that support nervous system safety, emotional regulation, authentic expression, connection, and embodied play

✨ Build brave spaces where people feel safe to drop their masks, take up space, and be seen in their fullness

✨ Gain trauma-informed facilitation skills to guide with more confidence, adaptability, and clarity

✨ Learn how to read the room, shift energy, guide meaningful debriefs, and integrate transformation through experience - not just talking

✨ Receive a full Play-Based Games Playbook you can take into your own workshops, circles, retreats or coaching

You’ll also get real-time facilitation practice, feedback, and the opportunity to guide games yourself. It’s not just theory - it’s embodied learning in action.

WHY GAMES?

Games are not just for icebreakers or entertainment - they’re transformational tools.How we show up in play reveals how we show up in life.In a well-held game, masks drop, truth surfaces, and real connection happens.

Through play, people experience themselves more fully.And when they feel it in their bodies - they remember it. That’s what makes your facilitation unforgettable.
