Transpersonal Facilitator Training Program
A 6-month IPHM accredited program with a 4-day hands-on immersive retreat
(Level 1 container is limited to 12 participants - men selected based on an application/interview process - Level 2 by invitation only)
The program starts July 17, 2025
step into your power as TRANSPERSONAL FACILITATOR
This 6-month program is designed for anyone interested in or currently holding space for deep embodiment and/or healing work.
What is Transpersonal Facilitation? The transpersonal approach emphasizes body awareness and sensitivity, the need for teachers to transcend their own ego needs, the appropriateness of myth and symbol as conveyors of intuitive knowledge, a serious approach to the arts, and an attitude toward sciences and object study which values wonder and increased sensibility. In transpersonal learning one discovers nature's intrapsychic dimensions and the close relationship between self and world. The concerns of transpersonal education are in a sense spiritual, but they are not religious in a sectarian manner. The goal is to guide the individual in his or her exploration of the many realms of experience which transcend ego.
Many who answer the call to serve others in this realm are disheartened when their efforts fall short in creating a vibrant and growing community. Growth happens with impeccable structure, the potency of your transmission, and consistency. This program will be the foundation of your offerings.
Creating and holding an impeccable container is a must for any facilitator involved in opening their clients to deep work. Without it, you will not be trusted nor will they allow themselves to unfurl toward healing and growth in your space.
Then there is your transmission, your teaching voice, the tools you use in opening people & spaces, plus your unique offerings.
We will dive deep into these topics in theory and in practice, plus much more. We will work on creating practices out of intention, empowering your unique teaching voice, utilizing the 5 instruments of working with the energetic body, building structure in support of your offerings, and guiding you in creating an airtight container for deep, transformational work. (see "Benefits from taking this course" below)
Graduates of this program will be accredited by Embodied Masculine™ & IPHM. Graduates of this program will also be able to assist/lead Embodied Masculine™ circles.
SEAN WISNER - EMCF-1
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 IPHM accredited. The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) has been developed to provide the general public and health care professionals with a body of regulated professionals, all hold relevant qualifications or experience to recognized levels. All who complete this program will receive the IPHM members certification, gain access in securing holistic business insurance for their offerings, and more.

GREG KARPINSKI - EMCF-1
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 the founder of Embodied Masculine™ (EmbodiedMasculine.com), a global community dedicated to empowering men by helping them connect with their highest selves, the natural world, and live purpose-driven lives. He began his work with men at the age of 23, focusing on shadow work, addictive behaviors, and martial arts throughout his 20s and 30s.
Over time, his approach has expanded to include Jungian archetypal psychology, somatic practices, shamanic traditions, and embodiment methodologies. His passion for men’s work has been deeply influenced by mythopoetic men’s movements, Sufi mysticism, yogic intimacy, Celtic mythology, Shamanism, and Hermetic Qabalah.
Amir is a men’s coach, speaker, teacher, and a devoted husband and father of four daughters. He also founded BelovedPoetry.com, an online platform sharing the works of love poets such as Rumi, Hafez, Kabir, Neruda, and more. (Visit our lineage page for a deeper look.)

countdown to start of the program
Timothy Griffiths - Psy.D, EMCF-1
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.
GENAR MENDEZ - EMCF-1 & 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.
A 6 month Foundational Course in holding
a Powerful, Sacred, Safe and transformative container
ERIC BOMYEA - EMCF-1
In the Embodied Masculine Transpersonal Facilitation Training Program I didn't just learn about embodiment practices, I learned about myself and the deep gifts I have inside. Through Amir's teachings, I've been able to connect with myself and my higher calling. Along the way I learned to trust in the unknown, affirming my faith that all will be taken care of if I just get out of my own way. I'd recommend this program for anyone serious about deeping their own practices and who have a calling to serve others.

"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
