Sacred Space:
Spiritual Facilitation Training

​@ Casa Cobananda, Lago Atitlan, Guatemala

October 28th - November 3rd, 2021

Looking to take the next step towards holding your own ceremonies, retreats or transformational workshops? Ready to fine tune your space-holding skills to support deep work in your students?

“Sacred Space” a 50hr Training in Spiritual Facilitation with Kula Collective founders Ananda, Coby and Jiya is a chance to work with three experienced space holders to learn the tools you need to know in order to master the fine art of ceremonial and transformational facilitation.

In the lush valley of Tzununa on the shores of one of the most energetically powerful places in the world, Lake Atitlan, we will come together to study and experience what it means to hold a safe and potent container for spiritual work.
Cultivating sacred space is an art, one that takes constant awareness and management of multiple inputs and energies. Building a toolbox of skills and offerings alongside an understanding of how to work with a wide range of possible situations will prepare you to draw out the threads you are looking for, ultimately building confidence and power in your work.

Join us to awaken the power of your spirit while living in a conscious eco-friendly community space tucked in the majestic mountains of incredible Lake Atitlan. Stand strong in your sovereignty and stay explorative in your collaboration, as you build trust in yourself as a facilitator. Learn the mastery of listening and observation as you co-create with Spirit. Step into your power as the master of ceremony that you are.

Meet Your Facilitator Team...

CJ ANANDA
Co-Founder of Pura Vidya and Present Moment Retreat, and ERYT 500 certified, CJ Ananda is a renowned teacher of yoga, dance and meditation. She has combined her joy of these self-healing therapies with her experience as a wellness leader and healing practitioner to create international retreats and trainings.

​Ananda facilitates 200 hour and 300 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, Shamanic Cleanses and Transformational Retreats giving each person the heartfelt attention and direct facilitation that cultivates ecstatic, healing and magical experiences. As a teacher, she sees each of her classes as an opportunity to hold sacred ceremonial space.
​
JIYA
Jiya is a deeply connected leader who roots her teaching in the healing energy of nature.  Her teaching invites students to explore their own, unique unfolding, through profound awareness and trust in the wisdom of the Self. 

​Through her studies with teachers and shamans across the world, Julia has developed a powerful sense of energetic connection and a strong set of philosophical and intuitive teachings, which she shares through creative hatha and yin yoga, sacred fire and medicine ceremonies, kirtan and healing therapies.  Jiya is also a talented musician and sound healer, who seeks out native chants and medicine songs from around the world to complement her work.
COBY
While traveling abroad, Coby met a Peruvian healer who liberated him from the material realm. “Now that you have entered the Spiritual world”, she told him, “You’ll never have to concern yourself with money or materials, they will manifest effortlessly. Your new path is a spiritual one wrought with its own challenges.”

​Coby took this belief to heart, starting a spiritual journey that took him several times around the world. Between each chapter of his story, he would always return to his Shamanic teacher in Peru for study and guidance. Coby’s deep rooted interest in Shamanism found its perfect complement when he married CJ Ananda. The fusion of his love for Shamanism and hers for Yoga blended perfectly, becoming Pura Vidya.
