The professional Nativ School retreat is designated to train experienced group facilitators from the Embodiment and space-holding fields

The retreat is about deepening the facilitating skills:​

Techniques for inner-listening during stressful situations

Improving your ability to be lovingly present in front of the group

Enriching your ability to analyze the group’s state and understand what it needs

Tools from the physical psychotherapy world

Training in preparing and leading ceremonial spaces

And plenty of additional content that will help support your journey as group facilitators, and enable you to create more professional and transformative workshop spaces.

Shachar has more than a decade of experience in holding transformative spaces – retreats, trainings, therapy sessions and personal and group mentorship. You have a unique opportunity to expand your toolbox, refine the quality of your space holding abilities, and the content and messaging you bring forth, with any individual, patient, and participant you’ll encounter along the way.

Leaning on the vast experience we have in facilitating annual training in Israel and abroad, we believe that this kind of retreat will take you to the next stage.

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.”

Q&A

Advanced training means we will not receive basic tools for group facilitation such as: workshop creation models, etc. We will receive tools that deal with a more profound layer of this journey, significant in-depth tools that you can take with you and implement immediately upon stepping out of the retreat. 

Of course. Throughout the weekend we will receive innovative tools for advanced facilitation which will enrich any space holder’s toolbox, regardless of the experience they arrive with. 

Definitely. The retreat is suitable for individuals from the mind-body fields, who want to expand their horizons, refine their gift, upgrade their toolbox and take their tools forward.

Between 30-50 participants.

There is no obligation to practice and partake in everything.

However, of course, we recommend and hope you be part of the group every step of the way because we believe it will enrich you and your experience. Choose only what feels right and is within your particular boundaries.

It is possible to sleep in individual camping tents if you want privacy, or in shared complexes. Both options are included in the price and there is no difference in the pricing. You can also stay somewhere close by which you can arrange for yourself, and be with us during the daily activity.

During the day we will combine theoretical and practical teachings of tools, ideas, and burning issues. The majority of the schedule will be actual practicing and experiencing of the tools with the group. We believe in learning through experience, and feel it is most effective.

The tools taught in the retreat will contribute to a significant transformation in the relationships in your lives (romantic, parenthood, friendships, work relations, etc.), and all the more so, as facilitators and space holders. 

An official retreat participation certificate can be provided on demand – please inform the organizers beforehand.

We believe the retreat will broaden your horizons and enable you to view your personal and professional reality with a more creative eye; no matter how and when you will implement what you have learned, the effect will be created organically.
