Transpersonal Facilitator Training Program
Level 1 - A 6-month IPHM-accredited program with a 5-day hands-on immersive retreat
(Level 1 container is limited to 12 participants - men selected based on an application/interview process)
TFTP Level 1
The program starts June 25, 2026
step into your power as a TRANSPERSONAL FACILITATOR
A 6-month immersive training to develop your capacity to guide others through deep inner work and transformation.
Transpersonal Facilitation is the art of guiding others beyond ego and identity into the deeper terrain of soul, archetype, and spirit. It is not therapy or conventional facilitation. It is the ability to hold a grounded, conscious container where real transformation can occur.
In this program, you will learn how to lead somatic, embodied, and shamanic practices, work with real human dynamics, and begin developing your voice as a facilitator.
This is the foundation. This program trains you to facilitate real transformation in others.
Graduates of this program are accredited through Embodied Masculine and IPHM. A select number of men may be invited to continue into Level 2, where the work moves into facilitation, leadership, and real-world application.
SEAN WISNER - EMCF-2
This program put me in touch with my own power as a leader. It taught me to connect with it from a non-egoic, service-based orientation. I learned practical methods for getting out of my own way and letting Love and Creation flow through me into the world. It brought me to some of my deepest wounds, and the container and the love and support of the other men carried me through to the other side, showing me what I am capable of. I would recommend it for anyone called to serve their communities by working with others as a leader, a space holder, a guide or a healer.
This program is accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM), an independent organization that recognizes qualified practitioners across a wide range of holistic and integrative disciplines.

GREG KARPINSKI - EMCF-2
Being a part of the Level 2 Transpersonal Facilitator Training Program has been an incredible experience. The opportunity to learn deeper practices directly from Amir as well as being able to lead and support a group of men embarking on their own leadership journey was a humbling yet deeply nourishing experience. I have grown as a facilitator, a leader, and as a man in ways that I had not expected. I now have much greater knowledge, experience, and the capacity to hold myself in integrity, so I can lead others with strength, courage, and, most importantly, love. It's been an incredible honor to be invited to take part in this life-changing program.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR - AMIR KHALIGHI
Amir Khalighi is a teacher, husband, father, ritualist, and founder of Embodied Masculine, a global brotherhood and initiatory path for men reclaiming their place as stewards and protectors of the sacred. For over three decades, he has walked beside men in their becoming, guiding them through the dismantling of false identities and into direct relationship with truth, integrity, and the deeper intelligence that shapes a life of purpose.
His work does not center on self-improvement. It is rooted in initiation. A return to what is essential, forged through lived experience, devotion, and the willingness to confront what most avoid. Drawing from Tibetan Tantra, Hermetic philosophy, indigenous shamanic traditions, Jungian depth psychology, breathwork, and somatic experiencing, Amir works at the intersection of the psychological, the archetypal, and the spiritual, where real transformation takes hold.
Through immersive retreats, rites of passage, facilitator trainings, workshops, and private mentorship, he creates environments where men are brought into direct contact with themselves beyond performance. Spaces where the nervous system is engaged, the body becomes the gateway, and the unseen dynamics shaping one’s life are made visible and workable. His work calls men into consciousness, into responsibility, and into a form of leadership that is grounded, relational, and anchored in presence rather than identity.
Since founding Embodied Masculine in 2018, Amir has guided men across the world through deep processes of transformation, not as an end in itself, but as a reorientation toward how they live, lead, serve, and relate. What he cultivates is not dependency, but capacity. Not ideology, but embodiment. A way of being that is in right relationship with self, others, community and the greater field of life.

countdown to start of the program
GENAR MENDEZ - EMCF-2
TFTP felt like 10 years worth of growth condensed into just a few months. It humbled me while helping me tap into a genuine grounded power that comes from within. Amir has the gift of speaking exactly what is most needed in any given moment. It's so raw and relevant to what we're going through NOW as opposed to just a scripted teaching. The men who join Amir's programs just get it! I felt so safe to be myself and deeply supported on my path. This program helped me become a more authentic leader, facilitator, friend, lover, student, so if you're on the fence, just jump in! This was more than just facilitator training, this was life and spiritual training.
KANO MAI - EMCF-1
The facilitator trainings, and the Embodied Masculine community in particular, have had a deep impact on how I hold space and guide others. The work carries a level of depth and integrity that goes beyond what can be taught intellectually. It’s something you need to feel. Something you come to understand through experience, and it has shaped not just how I facilitate, but how I live and treat others. Helping me learn how to teach others to discover their true potential.

Timothy Griffiths - Psy.D, EMCF-2
TFTP Level 1 has catapulted me into space holding confidence. Prior to beginning the programme I was holding group space fairly regularly, yet was aware of a yearning within me to take participants to the realms of the transpersonal. This is where Amir came in. This training is not for the faint hearted. It is said in psychotherapy that we may only facilitate a space for clients at the depths that we’ve accessed and traversed ourself; Amir approaches transpersonal facilitation with the same commitment. Our training was an experiential exploration of our own psyche; uncovering the wounds and gifts within our soul; our unique medicine for the world. Amir embodies a devotion that ripples through his leadership team and beyond; I am fortunate to have been inspired by his spirit. If you’re selected for this programme you will join a thriving community, meet brothers for life, uncover your gift, and propel yourself into devotional service for your community. To all within Embodied Masculine, I bow deeply to you.
"In one sense, the voyage of self-discovery is solitary, but that doesn’t mean you have to take it all alone. A lot of men suffer silently when they are in creative chaos and feel something is wrong with them because they don’t realize other men are experiencing a similar disintegration of the old modes of masculinity. In matters of the psyche and spirit, taking the journey and telling the story go hand-in-glove, and that is why we need a listening community in order to make our solitary pilgrimage. The most powerful resource we have for transforming ourselves is honest conversation between men and men, women and men, men and women."
— Sam Keen, Fire In The Belly
"Being a part of a supportive men's group can be an extremely rewarding, humbling and transformative experience. To have like-minded, loving men who are as dedicated to their own spiritual growth as you are - who show you your blind spots, sit with you and listen to you - has the power to transform a man forever." - Amir Khalighi
