Facilitator Trainings
Shadow Work® Facilitator Trainings are designed for women and men who wish to learn and facilitate Shadow Work processes. These trainings provide a focused, immersive opportunity to develop the skills, presence, and understanding needed to support others through Shadow Work processes in professional, personal, and community settings.
Trainings are offered in multiple levels. The first two are Basic Facilitator Training, which focuses on foundational skills, and Advanced Facilitator Training, which offers deeper practice for those ready to continue.
Facilitator Trainings are offered throughout the year and led by Debbie Holcomb, one of Women Revealed’s original founders, current president, and lead facilitator. Debbie is a Certified Shadow Work Facilitator, Certified Shadow Work Coach, and Certified Shadow Work Trainer. Learn more about Debbie on the About Us page.
