ETHICAL PRACTICES FOR HOLISTIC PRACTITIONERS

Deepen your emotional awareness. Strengthen your presence. 

30-Hour Advanced Course
Prerequisite: Emotional Intelligence 101 (20 hours)

Why This Course Exists

As holistic practitioners, guides, or space-holders, we’re often present for people in moments of stress, confusion, transformation, or vulnerability. Whether or not we realise it, our emotional presence becomes part of the environment others feel, and that comes with responsibility.

More and more, people turn to holistic and metaphysical services when they’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed or out of balance, often before seeking other forms of care. This means you may be the first person someone opens up to, placing a quiet but profound responsibility on you.

This course was created to help you meet that responsibility with skill, steadiness, and self-awareness. It offers a deeper foundation in emotional intelligence, not as a set of techniques, but as a practice of attentiveness, to yourself, to others, and to the subtle signs of emotional distress that often go unnoticed.

The Deeper Intention

This is more than professional development. It’s a refinement of how you show up for yourself, for others, and for the unseen emotional layers beneath everyday interactions.

We believe emotional awareness is a form of spiritual practice and a pillar of ethical, holistic care. It’s how we prevent harm, build trust, and create environments where true healing can happen.

Who We Mean by “Practitioner”

In our view, a practitioner is anyone who raises their hand to learn these skills and apply them for the betterment of their own life and the well-being of their circle of influence.

You don’t need to hold a professional or formal role to enrol in this course. Whether you’re supporting family, friends, community, or simply investing in your own emotional health, this course is designed to empower you.

We intend to equip more people with the tools for early detection of emotional distress and to contribute to the prevention of mental decline across society — one conscious observer at a time.

What This Course Offers

Building on the inner work you began in Emotional Intelligence 101, this course extends into the relational field. You’ll learn to stay emotionally present with others without absorbing or avoiding their experiences.

You’ll develop clearer emotional boundaries, stronger observational skills, and the capacity to listen in a way that supports healing, not by giving advice or fixing, but by honouring what’s real, without judgment.

We’ll explore what emotional safety truly means: how to hold space ethically and how your own self-awareness becomes the anchor that allows others to feel grounded and seen.

As part of this training, you’ll be introduced to a Practitioner Emotional Awareness Screening Process,  a simple but powerful self-check that helps you reflect on what you’re noticing, how you’re holding space, and when further support may be needed.
This process strengthens your presence and clarity — and supports your ethical safety, offering a structured way to demonstrate thoughtful care should questions ever arise about your practice.
 

What You’ll Begin to Develop

• A deeper understanding of how thought, emotion, and behaviour interact—in yourself and others. 
• Practical observation tools to recognise emotional stress or disconnection early. 
• The ability to stay present and grounded in emotionally charged situations. 
• Clarity around what it means to hold space safely, ethically, and with healthy boundaries. 
• The art of attentive, compassionate listening; not to fix, but to truly witness. 
• A stronger sense of your own emotional centre, so you can offer presence without depletion
   

How You’ll Learn

• Live Weekly Sessions: Engage in real-time guided lessons, group dialogue, and shared reflection
• Personal & Relational Practice: Structured exercises each week help you internalise the material and practise subtle observational skills 
•  Rooted in Self-Awareness: All tools begin with your own inner work, so your presence remains authentic and embodied.
