🌅 Houston Workshop Reflections
OCT 10-13 we welcomed another wonderful group together in Houston, and our hearts are so full!

Over four days, women and men opened bravely, facing tenderness, and truth. We witnessed walls soften and defenses melt.

From deep sharing circles to breathwork and the honoring ceremonies, the group moved through challenge into connection, reminding us again of the power of this work to awaken what is most human in us all.

With gratitude to our facilitation team and to every participant who showed up with courage and heart. 💗

Module 3 of the South Africa GERI Professional Immersion and Facilitator Certification Training is complete! 🌍💛

What an amazing, inspiring, and transformative week this has been. A deep bow to these 20 trainees from across South Africa and Namibia, who have engaged so wholeheartedly in this inner and outer alchemy of reconciliation.

Module 3 focuses on honing facilitation skills in collaborative, gender-balanced teams. Small groups of trainees lead the rest of the cohort through carefully designed practicums, with peer feedback and focused evaluation at every step. Together, we move through the full arc of the GERI process—interwoven with explorations of intersectionality, the power of ritual and ceremony, wisdom circles, shadow work, and more.

The days were filled with hands-on practice as trainees leaned into the deeper layers of the GERI process. The transition from careful planning to spontaneous, heartfelt sharing of personal stories was a moving testament to their growing skill and confidence. Watching them guide and hold one another through poignant moments—navigating unplanned sorrows, joys, tears, and breakthroughs—revealed the subtle yet powerful facilitation capacities they are cultivating.

A heartfelt thank you to the training team—Desireé English, Laurie Gaum, Lucille Meyer, Garrett Evans, Antonia Porter, Tristan Johannes, and guest trainer Judy Bekker—for your care and skillful guidance throughout the week. 🙏

We’re deeply inspired by the dedication, care, and spirit carried by this group—and look forward to being together again in December for Module 4! 🙏✨

These emerging facilitators are doing incredible work—diligently preparing, leading, and holding one another through the GERI processes. It’s been deeply moving to witness their thoughtful preparation, growing leadership, and the sensitivity with which they hold space for each other.

It’s a joy to see their deepening embodiment of the spirit of GERI—creating genuine, peer-led spaces for authenticity, truth-telling, and the emergence of beloved community. 🌍💛

How can spirituality and sexuality be reconciled?

Spirituality and sexuality are intrinsic in our being and yet, for many of us these two essential parts of ourselves can seem as far apart as heaven and earth. During the GERI training, we opened a gentle space to sensitively explore this profoundly beautiful, intimate inner landscape that is our birthright to discover and befriend.
