The foundation of field facilitation begins in one place: the ground of presence.

Before we can guide others, we must first root ourselves in embodied awareness and relational presence. This is where the relational field is built. This is where the magic of group facilitation begins.

In October, we open the next year-long journey of The Field Facilitator Training, beginning with what I believe is the most essential module of them all.

This first week is the groundwork. The place where we learn to anchor into our own somatic intelligence, attune to nervous system dynamics, and find our “seat” as Field Facilitators.

Together, we’ll explore the art of being with what is... the dance of playfulness and reverence, stillness and motion, passion and emergence.

I am deeply honored to be co-facilitating this module with my dear friend and colleague Devorah Bry. Dev has been walking this path for over two decades, weaving her gifts as a somatic psychologist, Hakomi therapist, dancer, ceremonialist, and founder of HoneyRoot. She carries a depth of experience in rites of passage, embodiment, and relational practice that makes her one of the most extraordinary facilitators I know.

This year will likely be the last time we run the full year-long arc in one piece. Moving forward, modules will be offered sequentially. So if you’ve been waiting, this is your chance to enter.

If you are curious about the path of facilitation, if you are ready to ground yourself in the living intelligence of the body and learn how to hold space for groups with presence, courage, and heart then this is the place to begin.

✨ Last chance for early bird tickets to The Field Facilitator Training (in-person + online) ✨

I was teaching at a festival recently when I received some reflections that were both deeply flattering and honestly… a bit unsettling.

People came up to me afterwards and said things like:
👉 “Wow, I was so impressed with your workshop, it felt so professional. I’ve done similar practices before, but no one has ever set it up the way you did. It was an entirely new level.”
👉 “Within minutes of your workshop starting, my whole body softened. I relaxed, I even cried because for the first time at this festival, I felt truly held.”

I love hearing this. And also… it really disturbs me. Because it shows just how low the bar has been set in the world of workshops and group facilitation.

This is one of the many reasons why I created and have been pouring everything I have into The Field Facilitator Training. I want to raise the standard for the next generation of facilitators. To move us beyond the “wild west” days of sloppy, ungrounded, mediocre group work… and into a new era of care, coherence, and real growth inspiring experiences.

Facilitation will always be an evolving art. There will always be new edges and new learnings. We will always be able to look back and have done better from the future of new wisdom and information. But that also doesn’t excuse poor holding or careless leadership.

If you want to step into the kind of facilitation that truly changes lives and you’re ready to deepen your skills, your awareness, and your integrity then join us in Field.

Let’s set a new standard, together.

Something I am in immense awe and appreciation for, after The Field Festival, is how much it revealed the potency and relevance of The Field Facilitator Training.

Field Facilitation is its own unique art. You can totally be an amazing facilitator without it, it’s a stylistic choice. It exists beyond form. It’s not dogmatic, it’s not a method, it’s not something you can reduce to a step-by-step guide.

You can feel it in the way musicians play together, in the way teachers truly meet their students, in the way leaders guide with presence instead of control.

The question really boils down to, “Are you listening?”

The Field Facilitator Training is a year-long experiential journey in listening to the invisible. You won’t be handed a manual. Instead, you’ll be invited to show up fully, again and again, meeting yourself, the group, and the field in real-time. Through this, you’ll cultivate the skills, tools, and embodied presence that make field facilitation possible.

This journey culminates in the next Field Festival, July 2026, where the collective resonance of all we’ve trained together comes alive.

🌿 The Year-Long Training includes:
* 4 in-person modules at Ängsbacka (each a complete deep dive into a facet of facilitation)
* Ongoing mentorship, peer support, and a community of practice throughout the year
* A final integration in the living laboratory of The Field Festival 2026

If you are called to evolve your leadership and facilitation to serve the intelligence of the field this training is for you.
And if a full year feels like too much right now, you can still join us module by module as each one a complete training in itself.

✨ After the magic of The Field Festival, the journey continues… ✨

If you felt the power of the group field at Ängsbacka, imagine diving deeper… learning how to read, attune to, and guide that field with skill and presence.

The Field Facilitator Training 2025-2026 is a year-long journey in the art of facilitation that culminates in next year’s The Field Festival 2026. You can step into the full cycle, or join any module as a complete training on its own.

🌿 Module 1: Embodiment & Relational Intelligence
📅 October 6–12, 2025 | Ängsbacka, Sweden
with me and Devorah Bry!

We begin with the body. With nervous system awareness. With relational presence as the foundation of facilitation. Together, we’ll explore how to lead from embodiment, track the unseen dynamics of the group field, and cultivate the kind of presence that allows real transformation to happen.

This is for both aspiring and experienced facilitators ready to expand their capacity to hold spaces that are authentic, attuned, and alive.

Early bird price available until Sept 1.

In the closing ceremony of The Field Festival 2025 Annika Winberg, joined by the Sound Field and Walking Chapel- sang the song she wrote in 90 minutes on the final evening of the Field Festival.

She managed to channel all the perfect words to unify, celebrate, and weave together our collective experience.

I hope you can feel the vibes through this glimpse… and remember: you are the field.
