How the Shaman's Breath Facilitator Training will Transform Your Life!

Walk the path of the modern shaman. Through utilizing the breath and ancient wisdom, you’ll deepen your spiritual practice and awaken the sacred within.

Ground, Heal, and Clarify Your Vision

This is the sacred beginning — the moment the Seeker hears the call. You enter the breath not just to relax, but to remember who you are beneath the noise. Through calming techniques, emotional resilience, and intention-setting, you lay the foundation for true transformation.

Facilitate Transformation

Now the Seeker becomes the Guide. You learn to hold sacred space for others, while deepening your connection to the body, ritual, music, and the unseen. With trauma-informed practices and energy awareness, you become a facilitator — someone who reflects the soul back to those who’ve forgotten.

Align with Nature and Lead from the Soul

Here you step across the threshold from guide to weaver of worlds. Identify with the polarity of opposites through nature and the union of masculine and feminine energies. You align your soul with your service. This is the path of becoming a bridge between worlds.

Real Stories of Spiritual Transformation

Each of these stories carries the imprint of a sacred journey

— a descent, a remembering, and a return.

I came in thinking I’d learn how to guide breathwork but I left with an understanding of how to reclaim parts of myself I had buried long ago. The combination of breathwork and shamanic wisdom Mari shares was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. I'm grateful to pass this healing on to others in such a powerful way.

Brianne

Beauty Therapist & Breathwork Facilitator

As a sound healer, coach and psychedelic medicine guide I had been deeply called to incorporate breathwork into my practice. I looked through many programs and styles, and when I reconnected with Mari, years after attending one of her local Holotropic Breathwork sessions, I knew this was the right opportunity that felt most aligned with my work and my path. The Shaman’s Breath facilitator program was a powerful and inspiring experience that brought light many areas in my creative and healing journey. I enjoyed so many aspects of the course, from the variety in the self-paced modules, to the intentionality and value of of the teachings, the resources, the group meetings, and the beautiful energy and wisdom of Mari. I recommend this training for anyone looking to expand their breath, their healing power, and their practice.

Juliana

Sound Healer & Ceremonial Guide

As someone with a trauma history, safety is everything to me. I felt deeply held in this container. The pacing, the practices, the course structure — all of it created an environment where I could drop in, heal, and eventually lead. I now guide others with that same reverence. This training taught me how to be a sacred witness.

Meet Mari Castle, PhD

20 years experience supporting others in deep process.

Hi! I'm Dr Mari Castle and I began my breathwork journey in 1999 by experiencing Holotropic Breathwork. I went on to become Certified with Grof Transpersonal Training in 2005, and earned a Master degree in Transpersonal Psychology in 2008, and finally a PhD in Ancient Wisdom Studies in 2013.

My lifelong passion has always been helping others align and reach their full potential through a spiritual and transformative journey.

I've authored two books and a dissertation research paper which is steeped in a deep understanding of ancient shamanic wisdom as it relates to our everyday modern perspective and our own internal personal development.

This training was built not only on my own experience of personal transformation, it also stems from an innate desire to weave in ancient wisdom principles and to help others in this space of healing to work with their clients on a more deeper and spiritual level.

"That’s why this Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator Training arrived at just the right time." ~Vandana Dillon

As a single mother, a woman running a healing arts business, planning a yoga festival, and coordinating an international yoga retreat—my life is full, purposeful, and beautiful. But like many in this field, I often find myself holding space for others while leaving little room for myself—for rest, for deep intimacy, for relationships, for reflection.

During our final in-person immersion, I journeyed so deeply through the breath that I accessed layers of truth I didn’t even know were hidden. In one particularly powerful session, I uncovered old childhood wounds that had quietly been shaping how I show up in Love—and in life. These buried beliefs were silently influencing the way I give, receive, and protect myself in relationships. To have them rise up, be felt, and be witnessed was nothing short of profound.

This training didn’t just give me tools—it gave me transformation.

I feel deeply confident in facilitating breathwork journeys and holding space for others because I’ve been there. I’ve walked through the fire of my own healing inside the very container I’m now prepared to guide others through. The training equipped me not only with structure and sequencing, but with the subtler arts of presence, attunement, and sacred listening.

I’ve also gained a much more integrated understanding of trauma-informed facilitation. We weren’t just taught about trauma on a theoretical level—we experienced how it lives in the body, how it speaks through the breath, and how vital it is to honor every person’s unique timing and boundaries in the healing process.

Personally, I’ve emerged more grounded, more embodied, and more willing to meet life with an open heart.

If you’re considering this path—as a practitioner, a seeker, or a leader—I can’t recommend it enough. This training will stretch you, initiate you, and ultimately return you to yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience in breathwork or healing work to join the Shaman's Breath Facilitator Training?

Not at all. This training meets you where you are. Whether you're new to the breath or already walking a healing path, the container is built to guide you into embodied confidence. If you're feeling the call — you're ready.

What if I can’t attend the in-person retreats?

The retreats are deeply transformational, but we understand life happens. You are required to attend a minimum of 1 In-Person retreat and be present online for the 2nd retreat. If you have specific circumstances, consider the virtual path as a flexible option to support your journey.

What does it mean to hold space for someone?

To hold space is to be fully present with another person without trying to fix, judge, or control their experience. It means creating a safe, compassionate container where someone can explore their truth, emotions, or transformation—as they are. It’s less about doing, and more about being.

What if I’ve never held space for others before?

Perfect. This is where you learn. Through practice, feedback, and mentorship, you’ll step into the role of space holder with grounded confidence. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about being present.

"I'm not sure I'm ready to lead others..."

Similar to holding space, leading others is not for the faint of heart. It takes authenticity, confidence and empathy for meeting people where they are. You will learn how to tap into these innate tools during your healing journey, and you'll receive guidance and feedback along the way.

What kind of certification will I get?

You’ll receive the Shaman's Breath Facilitator Training Certificate upon completion, based on the path of your choosing. This is a unique, integrative program blending ancient wisdom with trauma-informed tools, space-holding, and transformational coaching.

What is Transformational Coaching?

Transformational Coaching is a heart-centered process that guides one beyond surface-level change and into deeper shifts. Through presence, inquiry, and somatic awareness, it is possible to uncover beliefs, patterns, and emotional blocks that keep one stuck and gently release them.

"I’m not sure I can afford this right now…"

We totally understand. This is an investment in your soul work, and your future self as a healer and guide. That’s why we offer flexible payment plans and early bird rates. If this feels like your path, reach out — we’ll work with you.

Is this a big commitment of my time and energy?

Yes — because YOU are worthy of that level of commitment. This isn’t a casual certification. This is a rite of passage. One that honors your own healing as much as it prepares you to guide others. This is how we rise — together

Do you have a satisfaction guarantee?

Yes, you will receive a 7-day full money back guarantee with a written request (minus applicable payment % fees).
