the sacred circle
facilitator certification

Led by Sacred Woman Collective founder, Staci Levine

IN PERSON

JULY 11 & 12, 2026

LOS ANGELES

This two-day, in-person training in Los Angeles will equip you to confidently create and hold transformative circles in your community


A women’s circle is a gathering of women who come together in a non-judgmental, non-competitive environment to connect, share, and empower one another. We sit in a non-hierarchical circle, symbolizing equality and unity, and enjoy activities like guided discussions, breathwork, meditation, sharing and listening from our hearts, and beautiful rituals, all meant to bring us back to our hearts. Circle’s provide a space for us to show up authentically as ourselves, they foster a sense of belonging and connection, and we remember our own personal strength and sovereignty. And the strength of our collective.

Whether you are called to host intimate circles in your living room, bring them into your professional practice, or gather women in your community, this training gives you the foundation, the framework, and the heart to do it with grace and intention.

WHAT IS A CIRCLE?

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This is for you if you feel called to lead and guide others in circle - whether you’ve held circle before or this would be your very first time.

All are welcome, all will be held.

Current healers, coaches, therapists, and community leaders who want to weave circle facilitation into their practice. Women standing at the threshold of leadership, ready to create meaningful spaces of connection and belonging. And those who have been holding circles for years and are seeking to deepen their craft, refine their presence, and return to the roots of the practice.

Wherever you are on your journey - beginning, emerging, or seasoned - there is a place for you here.

Meet your guide

I’m Staci Levine, founder of Sacred Woman Collective. I am a circle facilitator, certified sound healer, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, Reiki practitioner, and ordained minister. Over the years, I’ve hosted hundreds of circles and retreats across the U.S. and around the world.

I created the Sacred Circle Facilitator Certification because I believe every woman holds the capacity to guide others…

My Story

Circles have completely transformed my life. What began as a way to bring women together has become a calling - a living, breathing practice of connection, healing, and remembrance. I’ve witnessed women soften, open, and rediscover themselves inside these sacred spaces. I’ve seen lifelong friendships form, hearts mend, and confidence return. Every single time, I’m reminded of how powerful it is when we gather with intention.

I truly believe the world would be a kinder, more compassionate place if we all sat in circle more often, listening deeply, speaking truthfully, and remembering that we belong to one another.

I created the Sacred Circle Facilitator Certification because I believe every woman holds the capacity to guide others, and that when women rise together, we create ripples of healing that reach families, communities, and generations to come. I look forward to this journey with you.

  • Testimonials

    What Staci has created in this container is rare. The curriculum is rigorous without being rigid. The space is warm without being soft. Every layer of the training — from the neuroscience of story to the architecture of sacred space — is held with an integrity that you feel in your body and Heart before your mind can name it. What moved me most was the invitation to stop facilitating from the outside and start leading from the inside. To trust the field. To trust the women. To trust the council that forms when women are truly held.

    —Laurie Jo Colvin

  • Testimonials

    I became a branch owner in November, my experience has been nothing but positive from the support I have received personally to the overall structure as well as the sisterhood with the other branch owners and especially Staci’s accessibility when questions arise. I have always wanted to be part of a heart-centered organization by those who want to make a difference in the world… it has been well worth the wait. Thank you Staci for following your heart so we can follow ours.

    —Alison Mullins

  • Testimonials

    What I gained from the experience was far more than I anticipated. I walked in expecting to learn about circle structure — and I did — but I also walked away with a community and connections that I know will stay with me well into the future. The women who come to Sacred Woman Collective are all looking to support one another and create meaningful community for women. It’s a space where women of all ages and backgrounds can feel safe, supported, and connected.
