Gropu Facilitators Retreat in Bali

Advanced Training For Connected leadership & group facilitation

A Retreat Facilitated by Shachar Caspi and Arynn Dvir

6-11 August, Bali Indonesia

Nativ — The International Facilitator academy, in partnership with Intaaya Co sourness Centre invites you to step into a rare ecosystem designed to evolve your leadership from "guiding a group" to "embodying the field." This is a 6-day advanced training ground and a profound inner journey for those ready to lead with radical exposure and precision.

Learning Through Direct Experience

This retreat isn’t just another theoretical seminar.
It’s an invitation to experiential practice in embodiment, integrated with shamanic rituals.

The Living Field:

Working in real-time with whatever arises in the group, identifying patterns and relational dynamics.

Dissolving the Barriers:

A space that allows us to drop our professional masks and meet the field from an honest, vulnerable place.

Relaxed Holding:

Learning the subtle skill of maintaining a strong, supportive structure that allows for complete freedom within it.

Ceremonies:

Training in preparing and leading ceremonial spaces

Shahar and Aran have over a decade of experience in holding transformative spaces—retreats, trainings, treatments, and individual and group guidance.

This is your golden opportunity to expand your toolbox, refine and sharpen the quality of your space-holding, and enhance the quality of the content and messages you deliver to every individual, client, and participant you encounter.

Based on extensive experience with annual trainings in Israel and abroad, we believe this one week training will take you to the next level.

Are you ready to take your facilitation deeper?

You have the tools. You’ve led the workshops. You know how to manage a room. But you sense there is a deeper level of Advanced Presence available—one that requires you to be as vulnerable as the people you lead.

Step into the next level of your leadership and facilitation. This experience is for you:

If you are seeking ways to stay grounded when the group field becomes complex or chaotic.

If you are ready to use your own vulnerability as a surgical tool for transformation.

If you want to discover how your leadership deepens when you stop "performing" and start truly "holding."

If you are looking to bridge the gap between a profound inner journey and advanced professional impact.

The retreat facilitators

Shachar Caspi & Arynn Dvir are the lead faculty of Nativ, an international school dedicated to the art of holding space. Their methodology is not found in textbooks, it is forged through decades of holding some of the most intense transformational spaces in the world.

They bring a unique synthesis of Advanced Structural Rigor (Shachar’s mastery of the “Holding Space” framework) and Deep Relational Intelligence (Arynn’s expertise in somatic therapy and vulnerable intimacy). Together, they don’t just teach you – they meet you as peers in the pursuit of excellence.

Shachar Caspi

Shachar began his journey in the development field about 15 years ago, when embarking on a prolonged period of practice in Guatemala (and in Israel later on), which included long retreats and initiation, meditation and seclusion journeys. After landing in Israel, with the desire to delve deeper into the journey, Shachar specialized in mindfulness-based psychotherapy studies in Hakomi Institute, seeking further understanding of resourcing and trauma therapy. More than anything, Shachar defines himself as a researcher of love, vulnerability, truth and depth, who continues to expand his learning into further fields and spaces.

Shachar wrote the book, “The Art of Holding Space”, which can be found in both Hebrew and English, and helps guide many group facilitators in Israel and abroad.

Together with the facilitator training in Nativ, Shachar nowadays offers his teachings to different and diverse groups – from business teams and organizations interested in embracing the language of connected and attentive leadership, to groups interested in experiencing tribal ceremonies together, as well as couples wishing to increase the openness and communication within their relationship.

Arynn Dvir

I was born in the USA, immigrated to Israel when I was two years old with my family. English is my mother tongue and I lived bilingually. I grew up on a kibbutz, when I was 18 I volunteered for a year of service followed by the IAF – Israeli air Force. You can say that I followed the accepted path of my upbringing, but deeper down I didn’t feel like I belonged in any of these frameworks. I had to know if it was possible to live differently, and something inside pulled me to a decade of traveling and exploring the world.

By nature I am curious and I have always been drawn to explore the human soul and psyche, so that in my travels I opened up to the spiritual world. Through workshops of shamanism, conscious sexuality, movement, elemental work, embodiment and psychodrama, I discovered a path that combines the wisdom of the body with emotional processes.

My greatest healing journey began, perhaps, when I started listening to my body instead of trying to “fix” it.

As soon as I understood how to speak the language of the body, I noticed that things began to change. Boxes and labels that I put myself in and thought would always bother me, stopped being perceived as problems or defects. They became an opportunity to listen, and because of the change in perception and willingness to be with them they changed and received from me the answer I was missing.

It was a huge change for me, I received a gift that allowed me to redirect my life and I realized that I want to pass it on. That’s where I started my journey in the world of therapy.

Testimonials

“I loved Nativ’s content and teaching style. I found there integrity, expertise, and a great balance between a solid base of teachings and direct experimenting with the group. I feel really rich in the connections, resources, and inspiration I found there, to keep designing spaces of depth and connection. I’ve always been told that to facilitate strong transformational spaces, you need the backbone of excellent training - and that’s I what I found here. I highly recommend.”

“Participating in this training has been a deeply transformative experience on a personal level, and has fundamentally shifted how I work with people. The depth of the group process, combined with the incredible maps, tools, and insights shared by the facilitators, form a rich and potent vessel for learning, growth and transformation. Having completed the training, I feel empowered to work with individuals and groups at a deeper level, and to get to the heart of what needs attending to much more quickly and effectively. I cannot recommend this training highly enough.”

“The facilitator training with Shachar for me was an important milestone to build more trust in my facilitation and ability to deal with any possible situation with participants. I received great insights and tools for how to follow people & groups and provide them with what they need for a transformational experience. I had a deep personal journey and learned a lot of new tools and approaches. Even though I have been facilitating groups for some years, I was very satisfied and touched by what I got out of it, And I appreciate Shahar a lot for his clarity, directness and love for what he is doing.”

“Studying with Nativ allowed me to settle more comfortably in my own dance of holding transformative spaces. Building this spontaneously guided journeys & ‚choreographies’ both from joy, passion & curiosity around how to weave my own unique flavor and gifts, and in the same time resting in the feeling how much it is NOT about me. Nativ facilitation training opened my inner and outer eyes, my senses and creative channel for seeing the immeasurable potentials for working with always available resource and spaces; with our human’s diversity, our longings, needs and desires, gifts and stories – in order to bring more sense of belonging, empowerment and the ‚medicine’ needed in this moment. Thanks to this training, creating spaces for individual & community growth, became the piece of my ‚everyday magic’, where I can passionately show up, both by myself and co-creating with others, to be the ‚Love and Truth’ I want to see, embody and support in the world.”

"The Nativ Facilitator Training supported me in deepening my trust, confidence and refining my personal intention when holding space. The training offered me so many valuable tools and confirmations why I want to offer this work. It is incredibly precious to learn from people with yearlong experience when it comes to the art of holding space and facilitating transformational spaces or ceremonies. There is so much more ease and trust now when facilitating. Having Nativ facilitators in my community and it's so valuable to exchange, review and support each other. That was the biggest gift: not being alone anymore but being surrounded by so many people as passionate about transformation and space holding as myself and having this incredible journey together, coming out as friends and colleagues.”

“The International Facilitators Training, has been an amazing opportunity for growth and learning. Not only have I updated my knowledge regarding trauma and therapeutic groupwork and group Dynamics, synthesized my intuitive workshop creation process, learned new approach to body and character types and many other useful facilitating skills… It was a deep and challenging journey to face fears, insecurities and shadows, to discover my intuitive wisdom of facilitating, to create magic, and bring forth my unique gifts. This unique training helped me find a new joy in my facilitating work. I love to learn and think each facilitator should at least once a year sit in a student chair. This training is definitely a must for any facilitator.”

“What touched me most was to feel Shachars true desire to support individuals to bring their medicine into the world. At the end of the training I was sitting in the circle feeling full heartedly wanted in my full potential by every being sitting there with me, feeling embedded in a tribe of facilitators meeting each other with care and encouragement. I left the training with a strengthened relation to my own shadows and gifts, a deeper knowing about them and a deepened self-love, with a sense of belonging, feeling part of a wide international network of love and support. I left the training with a widened ability to perceive and to find creative potential in almost all I observe and with a huge bag of tools, supporting me in life in general, in my one-on-one sessions and in my work with groups. And I left the training looking back at four super beautiful, potent and transformative weeks, that I wouldn’t want to miss a single day of.”
