Transpersonal Facilitator
Training Program
A 6-month IPHM-accredited program with a 5-day hands-on immersive retreat
"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."Timothy Griffiths, Psy.D — EMCF-2
Step Into Your Power As A Transpersonal Facilitator
A six-month immersive training designed to develop your capacity to guide others through deep inner work and transformational experiences.
Transpersonal Facilitationā¢ is a methodology developed by Amir Khalighi that integrates embodiment practices, ritual, breathwork, archetypal inquiry, energy sensitivity cultivation, and relational process to create intentional experiences that support psychological integration, expanded awareness, and authentic human expression.
It is the art of guiding others beyond ego and identity into the deeper terrain of soul, archetype, and spirit. Unlike modalities that focus primarily on symptom reduction, coaching outcomes, or teaching discrete techniques, Transpersonal Facilitation is concerned with curating transformational experiences that honor both the individual and the emergent intelligence of the field.
The facilitator serves as steward rather than expert, shepherd rather than performer, cultivating conditions in which participants may encounter themselves more honestly, reconnect with neglected aspects of their humanity, and access dimensions of experience that extend beyond ordinary identity.
Throughout this training, you will learn how to design and facilitate intentional experiences, lead somatic, embodied, and shamanic practices, work skillfully with real human dynamics, and develop your own authentic voice as a facilitator.
This is the foundation. It is an invitation to cultivate presence, discernment, and embodied leadership in service of meaningful transformation.
Graduates of this program receive accreditation through Embodied Masculineā¢ and IPHM. A select number of men may be invited to continue into Level 2, where the work deepens into advanced facilitation, leadership development, and real-world application.

"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 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."— Greg Karpinski, EMCF-2
Meet Your Instructor ā 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.
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.
What Facilitators Have to Say
"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. This program helped me become a more authentic leader, facilitator, friend, lover, student."
Genar Mendez, EMCF-2
"The facilitator trainings, and the Embodied Masculine community in particular, have had a deep impact on how I hold space and guide others. It's something you need to feel — something you come to understand through experience."
Kano Mai, 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. 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."

"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
