Discover the roadmap to becoming a Certified Heart iQ Facilitator - transform yourself, lead others, and amplify your impact in the world

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new video introducing the transformative power of Heart iQ Circle Work - a modality designed for community****leaders, facilitators, coaches, therapists and healers. This video is an invitation to experience the essence of the work, offering a glimpse into what is possible when we connect deeply in tribe, open our hearts, and engage in deep relational and shadow work.

Heart iQ is more than a personal practice; it’s a collective invitation to divine embodiment and a remembrance of what is possible when we get out of our heads and open our hearts, together in tribe. It’s a way to integrate personal healing, relational upgrades, and collective coherence, all while cultivating joy and openness. This video is your chance to witness and feel the magic of this work, to see if you are ready to dive deeper.

If you feel inspired by this video and resonate with this vision, we invite you to consider stepping onto the path of studying Heart iQ Circle Work facilitation.

Walking this path is a life changing one, that will forever transform your personal and professional world. It will take years of training and practice to master the art of Heart iQ Circle Work in all it's nuance, which is why we've created a 4-month training (available both online or in-person) where you can take an initial step and experience what it's like to be in a Heart iQ amplified field, while walking away with skills that will forever change how you lead and connect with others.

This program will:

  • Offer a transmission of the power of Heart iQ Circle Work, so you may decide if a deeper journey into Heart iQ Circle Work Facilitation is right for you.
  • Give you new imprints and "codes" to access a greater emotional-energetic-spiritual range that will transform your personal and professional life forever.
  • Give you skills to begin leading Heart iQ Circles and basic Mat Work.

Step 4: The Heart iQ Hot Seat Training: A Masterclass in Real-Time Facilitation

The Heart iQ Hot Seat Training is a transformative next step in the journey of becoming a Heart iQ facilitator. Designed for those who have already received a deep imprint of the work and are ready to refine their skills, this unique apprenticeship places facilitators directly in a co-leadership role alongside Christian Pankhurst, founder of Heart iQ.

Set in the immersive environment of New Eden, this training brings facilitators into a real-world setting where they guide live groups with real participants, receiving real-time feedback, supervision, and mentorship. Through the profound practice of hot seats, facilitators engage in step-by-step facilitation of group dynamics, pausing to study and explore the energetic and relational dynamics as they unfold. This personalized and interactive method offers unparalleled education in group facilitation, trauma-informed leadership, and nervous-system-aware practices.

Participants often describe the learning experience as “second to none,” gaining insights and skills they’ve never encountered elsewhere. This stage not only deepens their mastery but also opens the door to a richer, more profound connection to their mission as leaders and facilitators.

Step 5: The Heart iQ Fieldwork Integration Phase: Bringing the Work to Life

The final stage of the Heart iQ Facilitator Journey is the Heart iQ Fieldwork Integration Phase, a powerful bridge between training and full certification. This phase invites facilitators to take their learning beyond the training environment and into the real world, applying the principles and practices of Heart iQ within their own communities.

During this phase, facilitators step into leadership independently while continuing to receive structured support. They are encouraged to host events, co-facilitate, and run their own Heart iQ workshops or circles, integrating the tools and insights they’ve developed throughout their training. To ensure readiness, facilitators document their work through video recordings for assessment and evaluation.

This phase allows facilitators to refine their craft in real-world scenarios, bridging the gap between training and mastery. By the end of the Field Integration Phase, facilitators will have demonstrated their ability to create transformative spaces with skill, integrity, and alignment to the Heart iQ mission. They will then be fully certified and recognised as Heart iQ Facilitators, equipped to lead others into profound connection and transformation.
