What is a Facilitator?
Facilitators are self-identifying women who bring Embody Love Movement’s curriculum into schools, camps, gyms, studios, community centers and other non-profit organizations. The programming is delivered face-to-face in small circles of self-identifying girls and women. Facilitators share ELM’s mission through hour-long to week-long offerings, including Love In, Shine Out for kids, Embody Love Camp for kids, Embody Love in Action in schools, and Embody Love Workshops for teens and adults. |

About The Training & Certification
|
Part I :: A Weekend Immersion of Empowerment and Skill Building
Our facilitator training offers a deep and transformational journey into your own experience of and relationship with your body image and your relationship to cultural messaging regarding worth and value. We begin by locating ourselves in position to power, privilege, and access to the resources that culture tells us define beauty and worth. We hold compassionate space for each other as we acknowledge the internalized systemic devaluing of ourselves and others. We then work to reclaim our definitions of beauty and value as we resource ourselves with tools to offer self-empowerment to others. Your training experience will include: ♥ Participation in an Embody Love Workshop led by faculty ♥ The being and doing of facilitation: cultivating inclusive space, and setting conditions for safety ♥ Projection, transference, and shadow work in groups ♥ Social location and facilitation across lines of difference ♥ Using movement/embodiment as a tool to connect mind/body ♥ Finding your voice and sharing your truth: story telling that heals ♥ The detriments of body shaming, comparison, and criticism ♥ Teaching media literacy and demystifying standard of beauty ♥ Practice, practice, practice of facilitation through role play ♥ Tools and resources for bringing ELM to your community Part II :: Online Intensive
While exhilarating and empowering, facilitating can be challenging. We get it. Holding space for others can bump up against some of our own insecurities, including our body image and our capacity to grow and market our work. The Online Intensive Facilitator Training will guide you into navigating your own relationship to your body, to your intentions, possibilities, and purpose. Being an advocate for body liberation requires doing the inner work, positioning yourself in location to power and access to resources, and developing resources for compassion for yourself and others. This four part training includes a culmination of experience from Dr. Moore’s clinical psychology training and experience, yoga and embodiment studies, social justice education, and spiritual practices. You will be given resources to inform your own continued path toward body liberation, as well as to be an ally and advocate for others’ growth. You will be offered additional skills to navigate difficult conversations as a facilitator, including those used by therapists and somatic experiencing practitioners. You will be taught meditations, cues, and interventions to support you in bringing yourself and those you teach, mentor, and serve into greater alignment and wholeness. This course is not only a body-image breakthrough, but a reclamation of yourself as valuable and whole. |
