Hey There

75 Hour Energy & Sound Healing
Facilitator Program

Mar. 2025 - June 2025

Rediscover your deep connection to the natural world and its timeless wisdom through this immersive certification in energy and sound facilitation. As we face increasingly complex challenges, this training invites you to return to the profound intelligence that resides in both nature and our own beings. Our comprehensive training provides a container for you to remember and strengthen your innate capacity to facilitate healing, while deepening your relationship with the regenerative patterns of the natural world.

​

With six live virtual modules concluding in an immersive in-person weekend led by our expert teachers, Dr. Tamisha J. Ponder and Shawn J. Moore, you'll gain proficiency in energy and sound healing, nature-based practices, and transformative leadership. Additional topics cover group facilitation, session design, and creating trauma-sensitive spaces that foster both individual and collective healing.

​

As you progress through the training, you will cultivate a deeper understanding of your own practice while developing the leadership presence to guide powerful healing experiences. This certification bridges time-honored techniques with trauma-sensitive frameworks for creating safe, regenerative spaces of transformation.

By investing in the training, participants will:

​

• Master a versatile toolkit of energy and sound healing techniques grounded in nature's wisdom, with clear protocols for both individual sessions and group experiences. You'll learn to structure and facilitate experiences that honor each person's unique healing journey.

• Develop advanced facilitation skills to create deeply healing environments that transform individuals, teams, and communities. Through practical experience and mentorship, you'll build confidence in holding space for profound transformation.

• Learn to establish and maintain trauma-sensitive healing spaces that awaken each person's innate capacity for renewal while fostering collective wholeness. Our comprehensive framework ensures safety and effectiveness in all healing contexts.

In addition to bi-weekly training sessions, students are also required to commit to a daily healing practice, complete reading assignments, meet asynchronously with fellow trainees, and attend meditation and yoga classes at Sankofa Yoga; there are no additional fees. 

Upon completion of the coursework and evaluation, participants will receive a certification of completion. For those that are Yoga teachers this will then enable you to register with Yoga Alliance for Continuing Education Credits (YACEP).
