The World Doesn't Need Another Guru on a Mountaintop. It Needs Leaders We Can Count On.
The Conscious Intimacy Facilitator Training is a six month facilitation and leadership apprenticeship. You learn by leading real rooms with real people, with a Master Facilitator beside you the whole way.
APPLICATION ONLY Ā· SMALL COHORTS Ā· SIX MONTHS MINIMUM
IT'S TIME TO ANSWER THE CALL.
You've beenĀ preparingĀ for a very, very long time.
You've done the work.
You've taken the trainings, and completed the certifications.
You've broken generational curses, healed your inner child and forgiven your past.
You've cried in therapy, sat with "the medicine" and you may have even found God.
Yet there's still a voice that says "wait."
"Get more training."
"Heal another layer."
"Complete one more certification."
"Just one more <fill in the blank>... then you'll be ready."
You don't become ready and then lead. You become ready by leading.
what this actually is
CIFT isn't an online course you sign up for and forget about.
The Conscious Intimacy Facilitator Training is not a course or a certification. It's an in-depth, six month apprenticeship.
Early on you're in front of real people, leading a real room, while someone who has done it countless times watches and tells you how you can improve.
You'll get triggered. You'll make mistakes in front of others. You'll recover from them.
Then you'll do it again... and again... and again.
In other words, you will fail forward, and that's one of the most important parts of the process.
why we go this deep
This work goes deep...VERY deep.
You can only take your clients as deep as you've gone yourself.
That's why we take you as deep into your Self as you're willing to go, so you can hold space for others to do the same.
Embodied
You learn to become the kind of leader that other peopleĀ want to followĀ by embodying the truth that you speak.
Intimate
You lead others to deeper intimacy withĀ their authentic selvesĀ by developing deeper intimacy with your authentic Self.Ā
Somatic
You learn how to master your inner state in times of pressure so you can lead and guide others from a grounded, regulated place.
Spiritual
YouĀ learnĀ to develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with a Higher Power of your own understanding.Ā
What changes once you get unstuck and start leading:
WHEN YOU'RE STILL STUCK:
You wait for "someday" when you feel readyĀ - YouĀ seek validation through more training and studyingĀ Ā
- You hesitate to start until you can get it perfectĀ
- YouĀ overgive to others and call it being of service
- You handle the hard moments alone afterward
- You chargeĀ less thanĀ you want to (or nothing at all)Ā
- You quietly wonder if you actually have what it takesĀ
WHEN YOU'RE IN MOTION:
- You feel ready because you're doing the thingĀ
- YouĀ put into action what you already have inside of youĀ
- YouĀ accept thatĀ done is better than perfectĀ
- You know how to balance giving and receivingĀ
- You feel supported by communityĀ
- You chargeĀ fees that you feel excited aboutĀ
- You know you have what it takes because you're already doing itĀ
Getting into motion is a lot easier with people beside you who have already done it.
who we're looking for
These are our people.
Our facilitators are society's oddballs, outcasts, misfits, rebels, black sheep, conspiracy theorists and weirdos who can see things that others can't see, and who go places few others are willing to go.Ā
Ā
We were made for this.Ā
Who this is built for
Where we're not a fit
The Initiation
What's actually standing in your way.
Ā
It's not imposter syndrome. It's not performance anxiety.Ā
It's the unconscious parts of you that seek validation and approval, that play small, shrink, hide and perform when things get hard.
It's the parts of you who never got the love and supported they needed, and who never felt like they were enough.Ā Ā
Those parts show up in every room you lead whether you planned for them or not. In CIFT you meet all parts of you, on purpose, with people whoĀ can hold space for those parts toĀ
We're going to help you:
The Business
Most facilitators who come to us are undercharging and underbooked.
And it has very little to do with how talented they are, or how well they can lead a room. Getting yourself out of the way is one half of this work. Learning to make a living from it is the other half, and nobody ever teaches that part. We solve it in three steps:
Fill the room
We teach you how toĀ fill events without spending all of your time creating content to post on social media.Ā
Build the offer
We help you create offers thatĀ feel easy and inspiring to sell so that your clients feel safe saying yes to you.Ā
Enroll without pressure
We train you to have sales conversations that feel like talking with an old friend so you don't feel like a used car salesperson.
One training. Two ways to work.
Step into events that already run, or build your own thing. Same training either way, and you don't have to decide today.

In Their Own Words
What our students say about the training.
Those are the rooms. This is what it's like to train for them. Both of these are from people inside the Conscious Intimacy Facilitator Training.
Who Trains You
My name is Ricky Goodall, but that's not really who I am.
I spent 8 years as a professional MMA fighter, competing 21 times in cages to feel as if I was enough. It wasn't until I was knocked out cold in front of thousands of fans that I realized that I was living a lie.
I didn't want to hurt people, I wanted to help people, but I created a whole identity as "Ricky Goodall the MMA Fighter," with contracts, sponsors and commitments.
So I people pleased, performed and pretended I was someone I wasn't so I could fit in... until I couldn't anymore.
After I retired in 2014, I started a healing journey, working with psychologists, coaches, shamans, medicine workers and energy healers to peel away the masks and false identities I created so I could discover and become my true, authentic, Higher Self.
I created Conscious Intimacy Games to give myself a place to practice being who I really am in my most important relationships. We've since hosted over 100 events, in 4 countries and 14 cities, and countless events online by Zoom Video.
In CIFT you train directly under my team and I, as we guide you to discover your true, authentic, Higher Self, so you can inspire others to do the same.

the team who trains you
YouĀ won't be going through this alone.
These are the facilitators you'll learn beside, receive feedback from, and eventually stand alongside in a room. Different gifts, different medicine, same standard.
David Diamond
David is a coach for people who know there's more available in life and want grounded, practical ways to access it. He draws on decades as a martial artist, kung fu instructor, personal trainer, massage therapist, and somatic counselor, alongside his work as a serial entrepreneur and real estate investor. He helps clients clarify their values and build lives that feel both successful and authentically their own.
Harry Judge
After twenty years as a professional actor and educator, Harry was called to a new expression. He has since trained in breathwork and somatics, shamanism and embodiment, conscious relating, and sacred sexuality. Harry facilitates the illumination of, and liberation from, our mental, physical, and spiritual prisons through the irreplaceable medicine of connection.
Apollo Halley
Apollo is a queer, multiracial Performing Artist and Creative Wellness Facilitator, with credits including West End, Star Trek and FIFA, turned somatic space holder and creator of the Wellness Oracle. Apollo is one of the most grounded presences you will ever encounter in a room, and leaves people feeling more connected to themselves and each other than when they walked in.
Erin Doumert
Erin is a medicine woman, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a coach who has been guiding clients since 2019. Coaching with Erin is about results rather than talking in circles. She uses parts work, inner child work, and somatic shadow work to reach the subconscious beliefs running underneath someone's goals, so they can stop repeating the same pattern year after year.
Jay Gerring
Jay spent decades in the tech industry before founding his own company and building a career as an online entrepreneur, then went on to mentor thousands of people to do the same. In 2020 a Wheel of Consent workshop changed his direction, and he has been immersed in that work ever since, facilitating workshops and supporting the Wheel community in Austin, Texas.
How You Learn
This journey is a minimum of six months, but you start right away.
You host calls, run events and work with clients one-on-one as soon as you're willing.
In other words, you don't have to wait until you finish CIFT to start serving people and earning your investment back.
The Pack
Most of us were doing this alone before we found each other.
Healers, artists, coaches, martial artists, musicians, somatic practitioners. Different gifts, same calling. This is where you stop being the mostĀ awakened person in your social circle and start surrounding yourself with others on the same path.
Two Tracks
Choose how closely you want to be trained under a Master Facilitator.
CIFT Private
CIFT Semi-Private
Same training and the same standard either way. The difference is how much one to one time you get.
the code we live by
The Five Pillars of Conscious Intimacy
A person can be deeply awake and still be unable to apologize, receive feedback, or keep an agreement. I've been that person.Ā These five pillars are how we practice becoming someone others can count on.Ā
The Five Pillars are not hard rules we live by, but guide posts that help us come back to our center so we can remember who we are and what we're here for.
They're also what your license is measured against. You're practiced against these five for the whole six months, in real rooms, with honest feedback the entire way, and you stay a student until you're licensed.
We license you when you're genuinely ready to lead. Some people are ready at six months. Others take longer, and that's normal here. After you graduate, an ongoing membership keeps your license current, so you stay connected to the pack and to the standard instead of walking away with a certificate and nobody to call.
That protects you, the people who trust you with their rooms, and the meaning of the license itself.
the mission
Our mission is to make connection available to everyone so we can live in a world we feel safe raising our children in.
Our goal is to set the standard for authentic, conscious leadership by training exceptional leaders who are living the truth they speak in the world.
We tell ourselves that the world doesn't need more corrupt leaders. It needs more courageous people who do what they say they are going to do.
We intend to train 150 facilitators by 2029 and to have 1000 facilitators trained by 2036, so that together we can lead humanity to a better world.
If that's the work you came here for, the next step is an application.
Application & Approval
Not Everyone Who Applies Gets Accepted
Our CIFT approval is a multi-stage process that takes about 3-4 weeks to complete from the time you submit your application. We take the process very slowly so we can get to know you, and you can get to know us. We don't use high pressure sales tactics, because not everyone who applies is a good fit.
Here's how it works:
Apply using the button below
Answer each question as honestly and authentically as you can. We're looking for REAL people, not puppets and performers.
We read your application
We're looking for coachability, commitment, alignment with our values and our mission. We read every application carefully.
We connect on a video call
If approved, we contact you to set up a non-sales conversation about your application and discuss if we are a good fit for each other. There's no money talk on this call.
Begin your application
Ten to fifteen minutes. We go through investment details after approval, so the conversation can stay on whether this is right for you.
Submit Your ApplicationWe read every application ourselves. You'll hear back within five business days, and the full approval process takes three to four weeks from there.
Not ready for this yet? Most of our students came to an event first. Find a Conscious Intimacy Games event near you.
still wondering
You've got questions, we've got answers.
If yours isn't here, ask us on the call or email hello@consciousintimacygames.comĀ
What does CIFT cost?
The investment depends on your needs and your experience, so there isn't one number we can put on a page. We go through the financial details once you've moved through the application process.
Are there payment plans?
Yes. We go through the options with you once your application is approved.
How much time does this take each week?
You can do this in as little as one to two hours a week. The more effort you put in, the greater the results.
Can I do this with a full time job?
Yes, as long as you're willing to learn and practice outside your working hours. What matters more than spare time is autonomy over your schedule. You need to be able to make room for events, calls and training when they come up.
Do I have to travel?
Travel isn't required. We do recommend it. Getting out of your home environment is one of the best ways we know to change into a new identity.
I don't live in one of your cities. Can I still train with you?
Yes. You can train with us from anywhere. Before you lead in person events, you'll need to experience one yourself, and we'll figure that out together. Sometimes people come to us. Sometimes we come to them.
Do I need to already be a coach or facilitator?
No. Prior experience is an asset if you have it. What we're actually reading for is whether you're coachable and whether you'll do the work.
Do I need previous certifications or training?
No. They're helpful if you have them, and they aren't necessary.
Is this sexual work?
No. Conscious Intimacy is non-sexual intimacy and non-romantic touch and connection. No sex, no romance, in the training or in the rooms you'll lead. What we teach can absolutely help your romantic and sexual relationships, and that happens in your life, not in here.
What happens if I'm not ready at six months?
You can apply for a no cost extension and stay in CIFT Semi-Private until you are. Approval for the extension is based on your performance and your effort. Extraordinary effort creates extraordinary results.
What does the license cost after I graduate?
The licensing fee is $99 a month. We also run a volunteer program, so you may be able to volunteer with us instead of paying the fee.
Do I have to choose Path One or Path Two when I apply?
No. You can decide later, once you've been in it long enough to know which one you actually want.
What's the difference between the two paths?
Path One means you can use our branding. Path Two means you can't. We go through the rest of the restrictions with you during enrollment, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to before you agree to it.
When do cohorts start?
Enrollment is ongoing. You start when you start.
What if I'm not accepted?
You can apply again in six months.
What if something heavy comes up for me during the training?
Our facilitators are highly trained and you won't be handling it by yourself. If you need more than we're able to offer, we have therapists and counselors we can point you toward.
Can I use what I learn in my existing practice?
Yes.
