COURTING THE SACRED HUNT

A Men’s Rites of Passage and Ritual Facilitation Training

This is not just a training
It is an initiatory journey.

Are you ready to step into your vision & purpose as an initiated man?

We are in a cultural crisis of lost Initiation Rites

Initiation is the return to the beginning - the seed state.  The original potential that resides within you that contains your gift and the myriad of possibilities for your life.  To return to the seed, is to know the life and death process.  This occurs through the doorway of your inner life and contact with the wild earth.  

Initiation is culture-making work.
Initiation is our birthright.

We need Initiated Men more than ever…

As men in the modern era, we are the inheritors of eons of internalized patriarchy, disconnecting us from our own maturation and the sources of true power. 

Cultural Regeneration depends on you facing the shadow and unlocking your soul gifts - the seat of your true power.

In a world that often neglects true initiation..

This training offers a rare opportunity to engage in a structured, ceremonial process of personal and communal evolution.

Drawing from ancestral wisdom and contemporary practices, we will explore the transformative power of rites of passage, learning to hold space for others, through the process of our own
ritual transformations.

This is not merely a personal journey but a commitment to becoming a steward of cultural renewal, capable of guiding others through the sacred transitions of life.

Why the Sacred Hunt?
  

The Sacred Hunt is both our map and mythic context — a timeless rite through which men honed their presence, skill, and capacity to relate with the wild.

Across cultures, the hunt was a core initiatory path where blood, challenge, and the courtship of the wild forged true regeneration.

We draw on this tradition as both a practical and symbolic guide for our journey.

PRAISE

  • "Johannah is a social artist of the highest order, cultivating innovative programs. Her work overflows with beauty, love, and developmentally sound activities that protect and uplift the unfolding of each soul."

    — Melissa Michaels

  • “In the age of social media, these programs offer a sanctuary for young women to unplug from cultural expectations & establish a deep connection to nature that becomes a taproot to their true nature. With Johannah as a guide, my girls have learned to dig beyond the surface to discover the essence of their unique gifts.”

    — Ashley Johnson

  • "Anyone who has the opportunity to learn how to carry Johannah's work forward will be deeply touched by her rich curriculum which consistently takes her students back to the earth and spirit that moves in all things."

    — Sage Hamilton

  • “Johannah eloquently interweaves wisdom & creativity to facilitate confidence & growth. Her capacity for depth, joy & presence has cultivated an essential holding of our girl in her coming of age that is undoubtedly sacred.”

    — Dr. Jessica Killebrew

  • "Wakeful Nature’s magical approach to working with children was a core part of my daughters character. I see visible and positive signs of their teachings in my daughter every day, even many years later.”

    — Benjamin Buren

 This training arose out of the impulse for our collective need to re-village ourselves by way of mentoring, guiding, and initiating our girls…and lets be honest, in the spirit of reciprocity—making a living doing so!

It’s through the inner work, deep listening, & holy tending that we rise as a Matriarchal Leader - a woman worthy of imitation - a woman who knows herself. Yet it also takes a pocket full of tools, skills, understanding, and finesse to work with preteen and teen girls as they leave behind the wonder of childhood and step into the changes and challenges of adolescence.

For an intimate group of you (there are only 13 seats), we provide a safe container to dive into the unintegrated parts of your own adolescence, and bring healing and perspective to those challenging years.

This stage of life is generally overlooked and labelled as “challenging.” Because of this, in tandem with our villageless lifestyles, our girls are in sincere need of support and guidance. They are hungry for belonging.

Through this training you will be a part of the solution while bringing in extra income you and/or your family needs. Your investment can pay itself off in a matter of months with just one thriving group.

You Might Have Some Questions

  • The first step is filling out the application below. You will be directed to a calendar to set up a clarity call with Johannah where you will have a 45 min, 1:1 meeting to go over any lingering questions and leave with clarity as to whether or not this is the right program for you.

  • We meet weekly on Wednesdays for 2 hours. Our start time is 12pm est/10am mst/9am pst

  • While having experience working with children of any age will be helpful, it is not entirely necessary. You will be learning facilitation skills and tools for working specifically with preteen and teen girls.

  • What you put into this course is what you will get out of it! There will be videos, readings, songs, podcasts, and other resources available to you through our online course portal.
    Each module you will be asked to complete ritual, ceremonial, or facilitator homework at least once.

  • This training is a non-refundable investment. We trust you to make a wise decision that this training is the right fit for you.

  • If you complete the assignments, show up and engage, then yes, you will be a certified Wakeful Nature Girls Group facilitator, ready to lead groups of your own!

No WORRIES, we have the answers!

THE WOMAN BEHIND WAKEFUL NATURE

Hey beauty, I'm johannah…

11 years ago I started Wakeful Nature as a means to filling an initiatory void in our culture. As a girl traversing the complex landscapes of adolescence, I was alone and found ways to self-initiate.

As you most likely did too…

Too many of us did this, and I felt the youth in my life needed and deserved so much more. Not only did they need Rites of Passage, but they needed ongoing mentorship and a welcome sanctuary—to explore who they are and are becoming. Their needs directly informed the birth of “Girls Group.”

Over the years this work has evolved and grown into a successful business model that can provide you with good income while working outside of the dominant, industrial work complex that is inherently against our cycling nature. This model and work will lend itself to you living in service while creating abundance in your life.

I am over the moon to now share this offering, very much birthed from my heart and soul, as well as share the lessons, trials, & skills I’ve cultivated over the past twenty years as an educator with a very select few of you. Because the world needs more sanctuaries led and held by embodied, loving, soulcentric women…especially for our youth—our future.

I am here to support you in becoming the Village Auntie and cultural change-maker you were born to be—on behalf of a more beautiful, thriving world.
