SACRED & SAFE LEADERSHIP™

MODULE 1: BE YOU 

5 weeks

The medicine you are here to give is who you are.

Your offerings, skills and knowledge cannot powerfully heal, transform or and ignite others unless you bring 100% of who you are — your energy and style — to what you are sharing.

But few training programs include this emphasis as an essential piece.

Without mastering this, students in any leadership program can struggle to believe in who they are and their unique value. So, it’s hard to convert their learning into action and real change in their lives and the lives of their students and clients.

Being your true self is a gift — not just to your calling, but to all of your life and everyone it touches.

People are not drawn to you just because of what you know or are capable of, but because of who you are. This is your soul signature.

In Be You, you will discover and establish your signature style. This will be nourished and deepened throughout the rest of the course.

SOUL SIGNATURE TOPICS COVERED:

⟡ How to uncover, claim and instill your personal gifts 

⟡ How to discover, understand and integrate your unique set of meta-skills — your superpowers for working with people, leading, healing, communicating and activating all you create

⟡ How to embody your personal power and confidence in your gifts and mission

⟡ How to establish your unique leadership style to improve how you show up in your personal life, business, and/or with clients or students

YOUR LEADERSHIP GROWTH TOUCHSTONE BY END OF MODULE 1:

Your personal gifts
+ your meta-skills
= confidence, magnetism and medicine in your path

MODULE 2: BE SACRED

4 weeks

Learn the art of creating, holding and sustaining containers for individuals and groups that are healing and transformative.

You will master this by exploring what makes space sacred, and what makes (and keeps) YOU sacred. Because without your inner “sacred essence” realized and nurtured, creating sacred space is not possible.

You will learn how to weave your soul signature and unique resonance into a sacred space that stands out in a noisy, overwhelming world.

SACRED SPACE TOPICS COVERED:

⟡ What makes space sacred

⟡ The fundamentals of sacred space

⟡ How your own mythic journey has formed your sacred essence

⟡ How your personal embodiment of sacred space looks and feels

⟡ How the create your unique sacred-space style by using what you uncovered in Module 1, Be You

⟡ The practicalities to creating, curating and holding sacred space for different situations, groups, individuals and communities

⟡ How to establish sacred space immediately, whenever needed

YOUR LEADERSHIP GROWTH TOUCHSTONE BY END OF MODULE 2:

Your medicine
+ your sacred space
= transformational space

MODULE 4: BE SAFE — INTRODUCTION + FOUNDATIONS

1 week (+ a 3-week integration break)

Be Safe is the core module of Sacred & Safe Leadership™. It begins in month 3 and weaves through the rest of the program.

To be trauma safe is the very foundation we build everything upon in this program. 

You will learn the fundamentals of trauma to build a solid understanding and ability to recognise trauma when it arises, befriending and mapping trauma and learning how to be trauma safe. 

The gift of being trauma safe emanates through who we are, what we say and how we act and hold space for others. To be trauma safe is one of the biggest gifts we can give anyone, including ourselves.

This is important: You can't hurry trauma learning. 

It’s a long, gentle, deep journey, and we allow you to accrue its knowledge, wisdom, experience, skills and practice over the length of this program. It is not possible to simply absorb information and expect yourself to be safe. You must include this wisdom within yourself, allow it to change and evolve you into being deeply, compassionately and wisely safe.

⟡ Cultivate heart-felt awareness of trauma that your clients and students can feel when they are on their growth edges or when trauma emerges — so they feel safe and can trust you
