Transpersonal Facilitator Training Program
Level 2 - A 6-month IPHM accredited program with a 5-day hands-on immersive retreat
(Level 2 is by invitation only)
TFTP Level 2
The program starts June 25, 2026
Embodied Leadership & Applied Facilitation
This is not a continuation of learning.
This is where the work is applied.
Transpersonal Facilitation at Level 2 is no longer conceptual. It is embodied. You are being trained to guide others beyond ego and identity into the deeper terrain of soul, archetype, and spirit while remaining grounded, precise, and responsive in real time.
At this level, the work shifts into responsibility. You are not only participating in the work. You are beginning to carry it.
Through advanced practice training, real-time application, and direct feedback, you refine your ability to lead somatic, shamanic, and transpersonal processes with clarity and integrity. You are asked to stay present where others lose presence and to lead without controlling the process.
Two pathways emerge within this training. Some men will move toward facilitation, leading circles and building their own offerings. Others will step into leadership through stewardship, supporting containers, retreats, and the structure of the Embodied Masculine community.
The standard remains the same. You are being developed to hold responsibility within the work.
Level 2 graduates are accredited through Embodied Masculine and IPHM. Those who demonstrate the necessary capacity may be invited into facilitation or leadership roles within the community.
Advanced Facilitator Training & Leadership Apprenticeship
TFTP Level 2 is a selective, invitation only container for men who have demonstrated the capacity to move beyond personal transformation and into embodied leadership.
Where Level 1 builds the foundation, Level 2 is where that foundation is tested, refined, and brought into responsibility.
This six month training is designed for men already in motion as facilitators, as well as those who have shown the readiness to be entrusted with supporting and helping carry the work within the Embodied Masculine community.
Within Level 2, two distinct pathways emerge: one for men stepping fully into facilitation and leadership of their own offerings, and one for men being developed as trusted stewards supporting the containers, retreats, and community.
Two Pathways Within Level 2
All men in Level 2 receive the same advanced practice training, mentorship, and direct feedback.
What differs is how the work is expressed.
Advanced Facilitator Training
This pathway is for men stepping into teaching, facilitation, and leadership through their own voice.
You are being trained to lead circles, guide practices, and develop your own offerings. This includes the potential to facilitate Men’s Embodiment Circles within the Embodied Masculine community, as well as building and leading your own groups and programs.
This is the path of expression.
You are learning to stand at the front and lead.
Leadership Apprenticeship (By Selection)
This pathway is for men stepping into leadership through support, stewardship, and responsibility within the structure of the work.
You will support Level 1 participants, assist in dojo hours, and contribute to the planning and execution of retreats and containers. This is hands-on leadership within the Embodied Masculine ecosystem.
This is the path of stewardship.
You are learning to help carry the work.
Responsibilities and roles are assigned based on demonstrated capacity, consistency, and how you show up within the community.
Advanced Facilitator Training
For men who are already leading, or are ready to step into leading, their own spaces and offerings.
This pathway is designed for those who will go on to facilitate Men’s Embodiment Circles, lead independent groups, and develop their own communities rooted in embodied, somatic, and transpersonal work.
You are being trained to lead.
You will develop the capacity to:
- Hold safe and conscious containers with stability and presence
- Work with projection, resistance, and emotional charge in real time
- Guide men through somatic, embodied, and shamanic practices with clarity and precision
- Refine your voice, structure, and energetic presence as a transpersonal facilitator
This pathway also supports you in:
- Structuring and leading your own groups, circles, and programs
- Translating these practices into your unique voice and offering
- Developing the clarity and confidence to stand as a leader in your own right
This track culminates in real application.
Men who demonstrate the necessary capacity may be invited to:
- Lead Men’s Embodiment Circles within Embodied Masculine
- Facilitate practices within EM containers and retreats
- Build and lead their own communities and offerings beyond EM
Leadership Apprenticeship (By Selection)
For men stepping into leadership through support, stewardship, and responsibility within the Embodied Masculine community.
This pathway is oriented toward helping carry the work.
You are not being trained to lead circles. You are being developed as a trusted and grounded presence within the structure of the containers and retreats.
You will:
- Support Level 1 men through engagement, accountability, and integration
- Assist in dojo hours and practice spaces
- Contribute to the planning, organization, and logistical flow of retreats
- Show up as steady, grounded support during in-person experiences, including Firekeepers
This is hands-on leadership.
You are working inside the containers, supporting their integrity, flow, and execution.
Apprenticeship is not something you enroll into.
It is a responsibility you are entrusted with based on consistency, reliability, and how you show up within the community.
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.

What You Will Receive
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.
Schedule & Training Structure
TFTP Level 2 follows a focused six-month structure designed to support the learning, application, and refinement of advanced practices.
The program includes:
- One 2-hour live training session per month
Each session is dedicated to either:
- Learning a new advanced practice, or
- Reviewing and refining your facilitation through feedback
Monthly Rhythm
The training follows a consistent two-month cycle for each practice:
Month 1 — Practice Training
- Introduction and transmission of a new advanced practice
- Guided instruction on how to facilitate the practice
- Key principles, structure, and common challenges
Month 2 — Practice Review & Feedback
- You facilitate the practice independently and submit a recorded offering
- Group session focused on review, feedback, and refinement
- Direct guidance on strengthening your clarity, presence, and delivery
Program Arc
Over the course of six months:
- You will be trained in three advanced practices
- Each practice will be learned, applied, and reviewed
- You will receive direct feedback on your facilitation
This structure ensures that the work is not only understood, but embodied and demonstrated in real time.
countdown to start of the program June, 25th. 2026 6 PM PT
Advanced Practices
Level 2 is structured around the training, integration, and demonstration of advanced practices.
Over the course of the program, you will be trained in three advanced practices, each introduced and developed across a two-month cycle.
For each practice, you will:
- Receive direct instruction and transmission
- Develop competency through guided practice and integration
- Facilitate the practice as a final offering, recorded for review
Each offering is evaluated based on your ability to:
- Lead with clarity and presence
- Hold a safe and conscious container
- Apply the practice with precision and integrity
To receive Level 2 certification, all three practices must be successfully demonstrated and approved.
Certification is not granted through participation alone.
It is earned through your ability to apply the work in real time.
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.
A 5-Day hands-on, Immersive retreat
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
