Many yoga teachers, therapists, and helping professionals feel the call to move beyond one-on-one work or traditional classes into deeper, more transformational group spaces, but aren’t sure how to lead them.

This immersive 3-hour workshop is designed to give you the foundational skills, confidence, and structure needed to facilitate meaningful group experiences, from workshops and retreats to sacred circles and coaching groups.

Facilitating a group is not the same as teaching a class. It requires the ability to hold emotional complexity, guide connection, navigate group dynamics, and create a space where real transformation can unfold.

Led by Caroline Culverhouse, LCSW, MSS, E-RYT, CGP, CTP, a Certified Group Psychotherapist and retreat leader with nearly two decades of experience, this workshop bridges the worlds of psychological depth and spiritually grounded facilitation.

This is not just a lecture. Expect an interactive, experiential environment with opportunities for discussion, reflection, movement, and small-group practice.

In this workshop, you’ll explore:

• The difference between teaching, hosting, and facilitating

• How to create psychological safety, trust, and group cohesion

• The anatomy of a powerful and well-structured group experience

• When to guide, when to step back, and how to work with group energy

• Core facilitation skills for managing different personalities and emotional intensity

• Practical tools like reflection, mirroring, and inquiry

• Common pitfalls—and how to avoid them

You’ll also have the chance to practice facilitation in small groups, gaining real-time experience as both a participant and a leader.

You’ll leave with:

• A clear framework for facilitating transformational groups

• Practical tools you can immediately apply

• Increased confidence in leading workshops, retreats, or circles

• Inspiration and clarity for creating your own offerings

Who this is for:
Yoga teachers, therapists, coaches, healers, and anyone feeling called to lead deeper group experiences rooted in connection, growth, and transformation.
