Become Certified in the Embodied Play Method™
A 7-Day Training for you to Lead Transformational Experiences of Embodied Expression, Authentic Relating & Deep Human Connection
~ Are you desiring to lead from your authentic expression and creative joy - making an impact doing something that absolutely lights you up?
~ Do you want to create spaces where people feel alive in their bodies, free to be in their full-expression and more deeply connected to themselves and each other?
~ Are you over the heaviness and seriousness of personal development, and craving a modality that’s light, joyful, fun...yet still deeply transformational?
If you’re feeling that inner “yes”… then you are in the right place...
Whether you’re a coach, facilitator, healer, speaker, teacher, creative, team leader, entrepreneur, or someone who simply knows you’re here to lead people into deeper connection and expression… this training is for you.
WELCOME TO THE EMBODIED PLAY FACILITATOR CERTIFICATION
This is a 7-day in-person, trauma-informed, experiential immersion where you’ll learn to lead transformational group experiences that create:
✅ Authentic connection
✅ Courageous self-expression
✅ Nervous system safety + flexibility
✅ Intimacy, belonging + aliveness
✅ Real breakthroughs through lived experience
This is embodied, practical, high-touch training. You will experience, practice, facilitate, and receive feedback.
And yes, it’s really fun. But it’s not “just fun.” It’s the kind of fun that changes people.
WHAT IS EMBODIED PLAY?
The Embodied Play Method™ is a unique modality that fuses:
Somatics • Embodiment • Nervous system work • Authentic Relating • Improv • Tantra • Shadow work • Creative expression • Comedy • Ritual theatre
Embodied Play goes far beyond surface-level games though. It’s about:
✨ Taking off the masks and letting people feel safe to be real
✨ Regulating the nervous system through play (play as a fast-track to safety + resilience)
✨ Creating intimacy and co-regulation quickly through shared risk, laughter, and contact
✨ Being fully present and out of performance
✨ Doing shadow work… playfully so people can meet the parts they’ve hidden, and integrate them with courage
WHAT YOU’LL BE CERTIFIED IN:
By the end of this training you can become certified in:
✅ The Embodied Play Method™
✅ Somatic Role Releasing Method™
✅ Embodied Shadow Play Method™
This means you’ll be able to confidently facilitate 1:1 sessions and group experiences using this work in your own business, retreats, workshops, programs, teams, or community spaces.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
A 7-day immersion packed with experiential learning, real practice, and leadership skill-building.
Most theory is delivered via pre-recorded training before we meet, so our time in the room is practical and alive.
You will learn:
✨ 30+ plug-and-play games for connection, expression, nervous system safety, and bravery
✨ Trauma-informed facilitation skills (including how trauma responses show up and what to do in the moment)
✨ Somatic and nervous system practices you can weave into any space
✨ Somatic Role Releasing Method™ to help clients dissolve limiting identities (good girl, nice guy, rescuer, high achiever, people pleaser, etc.)
✨ Embodied Shadow Play to guide edgy expression, vulnerability, and deep integration through games
✨ Debriefs + integration practices so your games create lasting change (not just a “high”)
✨ Room leadership skills: read the room, shift energy, regain attention, handle dominating dynamics, oversharing, flatness, awkwardness

WHO THIS IS FOR:
✔️ You’re ready to hold group spaces and want to do it in a way that is embodied, fun, ethical and confident
✔️ You already run retreats/workshops/programs and want more tools, games and practices that create deeper connection, safety and expression
✔️ You work with teams/corporates and want meaningful, energising culture-building experiences
✔️ You’re a creative, performer, speaker, or leader and you want to turn your expression into transformation
✔️ You’re burnt out on seriousness and want to experience more joy, play, and aliveness in your life and relationships
✔️ You feel called to be part of a global movement of more connected, fully expressed humans
FYI: You don’t need to be “naturally playful.”
We'll teach you about the different Play Personalities, so you can lead from the kind of play that is authentically you.
WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH:
✅ Confidence to lead powerful, transformational embodied experiences
✅ A trauma-informed foundation and brave-space leadership
✅ A library of games + practices you can use immediately
✅ Certification in Embodied Play + Somatic Role Releasing + Embodied Shadow Play
✅ A clearer facilitation identity and style (your “playful leadership signature”)
✅ A community of certified Play Facilitators
✅ A toolkit that travels with you: online, in-person, anywhere in the world (because play is a universal language!)
