“My confidence as a facilitator has skyrocketed. I’m planning my first weekend retreat. Workshop participants are thrilled with their results. Clients are experiencing deeper healing as I use in the tools I learned in the program.
Most important, instead of hiding, I now look for opportunities to share my work. I’m pursuing my dreams of writing and speaking. I’m not afraid to ‘play big’.”
“Joanna’s training is amazing for coaches at every level. She really knows how to incorporate deep level soul work with practical tips on how to bring the best out of your groups. After years of facilitating events of every size, it was nice to go back and learn new things. And my clients and groups are loving all the things I’m learning. Joanna really knows how to help you dig deep and go to the next level. Would suggest the training for all coaches!”
“After years of thinking about and planning to launch my program, in the few short months that I have worked with Joanna I have finally started teaching! This giant leap forward is a direct result of the confidence I have gained through this training.”
“Joanna’s understanding of ritual is vast, deep and rich. I learned things at this training that were completely new to me – and I’ve got 20+ years of ritual experience myself!”
“If you are on the fence about working with Joanna, I am here to tell you that it is WELL worth the investment. The ROI you will receive cannot be measured in only dollar amounts.”
“I had the opportunity to implement her amazing training at my own 4-day retreat. I felt more confident, less drained and the retreat seamlessly flowed together.”
“With the facilitation and curriculum building skills I’ve learned, my clients have come back to me over and over again, they’ve referred their friends, and new women at my live events are eager to connect and take the next steps to further deepen our work together.”
“This year I went from running one full 9 month group program to leading two and bringing in another coach. Part of this is because so many of my clients wanted to continue working with me because of what they receive.”
“Joanna is absolutely masterful at teaching coaching skills, for both beginners and those more experienced. I’ve shared her coaching tools with my clients groups, and they loved her work. I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the quality and depth of her trainings. Highly recommended.”

"Learning more about how to live life through the ebbs and flows of the seasons, the moon cycles and how to work with my Shadow self was life-changing for me."
I enrolled in the Master Ritual & Facilitator Training because I knew it was time to take my business to the next level by incorporating Women’s Circles & Workshops. I also wanted to learn more about rituals and I knew Joanna was the perfect coach to support me in learning in a way that wasn’t just about theory, but also about self-integration. While enrolled in the program, not only did I learn how to become a Master at facilitation for my clients, but the program also helped me grow as a person. Learning more about how to live life through the ebbs and flows of the seasons, the moon cycles and how to work with my Shadow self was life-changing for me and I’m looking forward to sharing all of this with my clients. I am forever grateful for Joanna’s wisdom and her coaching mastery. She’s definitely the best of the best!
~ Christine Dyan
"When I first started Into the Depths training I was not sure what to expect."
I’ve had many professional certifications and advanced courses over the years. Into the Depths opened the door for a tremendous breakthrough in my own life that led to incredible growth and transformation. It literally blew me away. I absolutely recommend Joanna’s programs.
~ Fanny Elizaga
"This experience was life changing for me"
This experience was life-changing for me. I also got to unleash my creativity, and I can now tap into my most profound source of inner knowing. I’m excited to stand up and share my gifts with beauty and grace, positively influencing others to live the best lives possible. Thank you, Joanna!
~ Elvy Perez
"Into the Depths leaves me without words, but I'll do my best to articulate what a deep, transformative, and moving experience it was. "
It’s an experience over anything intellectual. Yes, you will learn how to facilitate a group, you’ll learn rituals to support your teaching, you’ll learn how to set up a space, and how to order things that you want to be a part of your creation. Beyond that, you will gain self-awareness like you’ve never had before; even if you’ve been doing inner work for years and years.
Joanna has a magic that is all her own and I don’t use the word magic lightly. She has a way of seeing you in your power and she holds that vision, even when you can’t. She has integrity, passion, intelligence, intuition, and deep love that will stand the test of time.
I walked away with confidence I didn’t know existed within me, and a belief in my magic that I didn’t know was in there. I felt so safe and held like I’ve never experienced in a group before. Joanna and her program have this subtle, powerful way of drawing out exactly what’s meant to come through. I have a clearer direction of where I’m going and what I’m meant to do with my community and a new found confidence through which to carry it all out. You have my endless gratitude, Joanna!
~ Dottie Lamoureux
"Joanna's wisdom, deep ritual practice, and her thorough instruction gave me the context and confidence to take my small groups to the next level."
My impetus for joining the Master Ritual and Facilitation Training came out of my first experience leading a small group of women. I had primarily been a practitioner who worked one-on-one with clients or taught larger workshops. I simply hadn’t facilitated a circle of women through transformative work before. I can wholeheartedly say that I felt naked – often! I also knew there were moments when I could have taken the group further and didn’t have the tools to do it.
Joanna’s wisdom, deep ritual practice, and her thorough instruction gave me the context and confidence to take my small groups to the next level. I left the training with a deep understanding of the hero’s journey and how to weave fun, beautiful, and magical practices into a deeply transformative experience. Of course, the bonus in doing this deeply powerful work is the journey of self-discovery I go through in the process. I am so grateful for the personal transformation I had, the safe container Joanna maintained from hour one.
~ Nancy Campbell
“Thanks to Joanna pushing me beyond what I thought my limits were, I have had the opportunity to hold monthly mama moon circles that have been incredible to witness.”
I really didn’t know what I was stepping into but I knew the Ritual and Facilitation Training Program was important for me. Every retreat allowed me to step deeper into my power as the healer I was meant to be. Joanna has reconnected me to the seasons and the cycles and the value of ritual in a way I didn’t realize was lost. Her direct approach to teaching her skills as a master facilitator was so simple but incredibly powerful.
As a result of participating in the program, I have the tools and confidence and brought light to the powerful goddess within me. Since stepping into my ritual facilitator role, thanks to Joanna pushing me beyond what I thought my limits were, I have had the opportunity to hold monthly mama moon circles that have been incredible to witness. The women have transformed in each circle and I never knew I could impact my clients in a circle the way I could when I do one-on-one sessions. I have connected into the cycles and ritual that have empowered my life not only as an entrepreneur but also as a mom and wife. Joanna allowed me to see the Queen in me for the first time and it was an invaluable gift I will be ever so grateful for! Since then, I have been able to step out of my comfort zone into my role as a master facilitator and finally share the work I was meant to share!
~ Tami J Hindin
"After completing this training, I feel so confident with my ability to guide people through the processes that will transform their life."
I had heard about Joanna Lindenbaum for several years from my coach. When I had a chance to work with her, I jumped at it. After completing this training, I feel so confident with my ability to guide people through the processes that will transform their life. I’ve been doing retreats the last several years and what I’ve learned through this process will make a huge difference not only to me but to my participants. All of the mistakes I have made in the past, I can easily see (yikes!) came from not knowing how to create the sacred container in a way that holds the circle for maximum growth.
~ Leigh Daniel
"My private practice is now operating at a whole new level that supports me even more than I knew possible as I now begin to monetize new programs and become even more visible in a much bigger way."
When I began working with Joanna, I already had a successful private practice as a movement specialist and movement coach, and I was ready to expand my business, become more visible, and create group programming that felt outside of my comfort zone, which was why the Master Ritual & Facilitation Program was just the right fit for me. I had done several intense training programs along with receiving a Master’s Degree, but felt overwhelmed with how to synthesize all of my experiences and move that into a larger program as well as how to monetize this kind of venture.
Although I knew I was a masterful practitioner, I didn’t know how to move that mastery through my business and into this new kind of larger platform. At the same time, I was fearful of being visible yet had a deep need to be seen and heard. The Master Ritual & Facilitation Program allowed me to really honor and work with my fears in a loving and productive way, challenge me to safely explore ways of moving beyond my comfort zone and leverage the skills I already had, and learn new formats that were transferable to my own programing.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m a seasoned and accomplished practitioner. Is this training for me?
In short, YES! As a seasoned facilitator and as a transformational leader, I’m sure you know the importance of constantly holding yourself to a higher standard. I’ve been facilitating for two decades, and I am both an expert at it as well as continually learning.
Some of the tools I teach in this program will reinforce what you already know, thus making you more masterful at them. And many other of the tools I teach will be completely new to you, and will help you become even more effective at creating results and transformation.
I’m having trouble filling my workshops/retreats. Should I wait till they are filling to do this training?
The honest answer to this is that it depends. Here’s what I can share: I have had quite a number of women who were having trouble filling their events participate. And as a result of participating, their events filled.
How come? Because their presence in our training gave them a ton more clarity about what and how they want to teach (which led to a ton more clarity in their marketing), it gave them so much more confidence in their ability to facilitate and lead (which carried over in their marketing), and it gave them a ton more inspiration and motivation to facilitate to full groups (which carried over into their marketing).
I get lost in big trainings – will there be personal attention?
YES, YES, YES!!!! I could pretty easily fill these trainings with 50+ women, but I don’t and I won’t. The max in the room is 20 so that we can go very, very deep, so that we can be intimate, so that I get to know you very well, and so that there is plenty of time and space for us to interact and connect, and for you to become a master.
Additionally, one of my “super powers” (which I will teach you to do!) is give deep and focused attention to everyone in the room, while getting the ENTIRE room’s needs met. It is pretty magical!
I’m seriously considering registering, but I’d love to have a call to make sure it’s for me. Is that possible?
A: Absolutely! I totally understand wanting to have a connection and ask questions, and see if this is the right training for you. You can schedule a call with a member of team by clicking here. We’d love to talk to you!
Here’s what I want for you:
More than anything, I want for you to finally stop your self-doubt from leading the show. I want you to know in your heart and soul that you are a transformational facilitator who makes massive impact on the people you serve. I want you to create the most amazing results for you clients and audiences so that first and foremost YOU feel fantastic about the work you do, and then from there so that you create a tribe of raving fans who buy from you over and over and over again, and who tell everyone they know about you.
I want you to stand as the leader in the room, in your full power, and to activate the power inside of every person you reach. I want you to know that your business is built on quality and on integrity, instead of feeling like you’re always needing to do slimy marketing to get to the next place.
I also want for you to join me in this revolution to raise the quality of the transformational and self-help industries, because I believe fully that those of us who commit to mastery and who commit to being the best of the best are the ones who will change and heal the world. And let’s be honest, the world really needs us right now!
I’m Joanna Lindenbaum
25 years ago, I was initiated into the powerful women’s traditions that have been the bedrock of empowerment and deep soul connection for millennia.
By literally dancing with snakes, activating the Warrior Woman inside of myself, befriending the Crone, and honoring the power of my womb, I transformed.
Through ritual, I learned how to love myself fully, how to hold myself sacred, how to create real meaning in my life, and how to become a leader who helps my clients transform in the most profound ways possible.
And this is what I now teach my students. I have coached & trained thousands of practitioners, and they thank me time and again for showing them how to get close to Spirit, how to embrace their truest souls, how to live the magical way of the Earth, and how to become master facilitators who know exactly how to shift & heal rooms full of people.
My students are successful because they become outrageously effective coaches, teachers and healers. My students are told all the time that the retreats they lead, the circles they facilitate, and the sessions they provide BLOW their clients away. Whether their work is “spiritual” or not, they are regularly told that this ritual work heals issues that have persisted for decades.
Do you want to be known
as one of the best of the best?
Are you ready to have a much bigger impact? Do you want your group participants to feel transformed by the work you do together? Do you want to know you can handle any group situation that comes your way?
If your answer is YES, the Into the Depths will give you everything you desire and more to step into your the Leader you are ready to become…… Welcome.
