THERE COMES A MOMENT

Something has been quietly pulling you.

"I'm meant to lead. I'm meant to guide. I'm meant to hold space like this too."

Level One is that moment made real. Where you stop waiting until you're ready, and start becoming someone who is.

Prior experience at an Essence Retreat is not required though if you've been in the room, you already know what's possible. This training is open to anyone who genuinely feels called to this work. Showing up is the only prerequisite.

Maybe you've been in the rooms, the retreats, the circles, the sessions, and you've felt it: I could do this. Maybe you've never been, and the pull is there anyway.

This is a 12-week initiation into becoming a grounded, emotionally intelligent, trauma-aware, energetically aligned Essence Practitioner.

This training is for you if you want to:

✔️ Lead circles and hold transformative group spaces

✔️ Facilitate retreats with depth and embodied integrity

✔️ Coach individuals through real, lasting transformation

✔️ Guide emotional and energetic processes with skill

✔️ Build communities rooted in genuine healing

✔️ Step into spiritual and leadership expansion

This is not for everyone. It's for those who say YES with their chest. Who feel the calling in their bones.

WHAT YOU BECOME

By the end of 12 weeks, you will walk differently.

This training doesn't produce coaches. It produces leaders — with emotional mastery, energetic depth, nervous system literacy, real facilitation skill, and embodied integrity.

01

People will feel your presence.

Not because you perform it — but because you have become it. Your body teaches before your voice does.

02

People will trust your grounding.

You will be someone others feel safe enough to fall apart in front of — and held enough to put themselves back together.

03

You will hold the full human experience.

Not just the light, but the shadow. Not just the breakthroughs, but the breakdowns. Not just the stories, but the somatics beneath them.

04

People will say: "You changed me."

And you will know it's true — because you changed yourself first. That's the only way this works.

"Before you hold space for others, you must feel held inside yourself."

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

Real words from real people who've been in the room.

These are the people who showed up, did the work, and walked out different.

 

 

“This work is transformational,  Libni has taught me a lot about the nervous system, the subconscious mind, and how to regulate my emotions. She has empowered me to see how life is really beautiful. She doesn’t just teach, she makes you embody and execute. That’s when I really learned… and it changed my life.

I am excited to help others transform their lives and find their inner light. This work is not for everyone, but for those who are ready to do the inner work. You will be equipped with so many tools to navigate life.

I now feel ready to share how beautiful life is to the world. You are not. I am not. We are not our sickness. There’s so much more to life."

- Jayce

 

“The experience was life-changing, very extensive yung training, tackling emotions, trauma, healing, level of consciousness, and nervous system regulation; nabigyan ng answer yung mga ginagawa ko before, na yun pala yun, kaya pala nag-work to, and from being lost, there is now a structure and guide na pwede mong maging blueprint, a blueprint that you can follow and implement para full blast yung progress, improvement, and success na mabigay mo, and I highly recommend Essence Practitioner Training—I’m speechless, sobrang saya lang talaga, my heart is full of gratitude, Libni, you’re my angel, and I can see the masculine and feminine energy in you, someone that is relatable to all genders.”

- Mark, Operations Manager

 

“The Essence Practitioner Program felt like an integration of everything I’ve learned in life—like opening a new portal where I got to know myself deeply, face my shadows, and finally embody who I truly am, realizing that you can’t empower others unless you’ve done your own inner work, and through Libni’s guidance, I not only learned the methods and tools but was given the permission to fully be myself, allowing me to step into my light and confidently help others do the same.”

- Mika, Talent Manager

 

“The Essence Practitioner Training gave me the freedom to fully be myself, bringing clarity to who I am as a leader, coach, and creator, while providing the structure, skills, and confidence to show up authentically, discover my unique voice and niche, and create from a place of ease and purpose, knowing that what I offer is truly my own and meant to impact the people who are meant for me.”

- Ginelle,  Financial advisor and a Finance content creator

HOW IT WORKS

The full structure of your 12-week immersion

 2 live calls per week

A training call for deep teaching of the weekly module, and a practicum or integration call for real-time practice in facilitation, emotional holding, energy work, language, and leadership. 


 

Replays and resource portal

Every session, demo, process, and Q&A is recorded and uploaded for lifetime access inside your private portal. Nothing is ever lost.

To be certified, you complete both. This ensures you graduate as a practitioner who is grounded, safe, and embodied — not just someone who sat through sessions.

 

Closing celebration retreat

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

Real words from real people who've been in the room.

“Through Essence, I realized that I’m not just here to heal but to lead and help others regulate and see their own light, and what Libni gave me wasn’t just knowledge but the embodiment of that truth, that this gift isn’t only hers but something we all carry with the right process, and from being a follower in 2021 to working with her one-on-one and stepping into this path, I’ve seen how she doesn’t just guide people through healing but awakens their gifts, impacting not just us but the next generation as well."

- Zyra, Writer

 

“The experience was very liberating, through Essence Practitioner Training, I gained the tools to turn my healing into purpose, learning how to create a safe space for others and share my life in a way that helps people understand that you can live with grief, and through Libni’s guidance, my skills were not only honed but amplified, allowing me to step into being that light for others, and I can truly say that this work has saved me many times and continues to shape the life I now share with purpose.”

- Danessa, Entrepreneur, Content Creator

 

“The experience was truly amazing, it allowed me to go beyond the limitations of working online and deeply connect, tap into my creativity, and discover more of who I am, while learning the foundations of facilitation and understanding how the mind, heart, thoughts, and past all work together, making it a full-circle experience that equips you to guide others on every level, and being in a space of openness, growth, and genuine connection made it even more powerful.”

- Lian,  Social Media and Marketing Strategist

 

“The Essence Practitioner Training Program transformed my journey from seeking validation through titles to truly owning my purpose, equipping me with the tools, confidence, and deeper understanding of healing, trauma, and identity to not only embrace my full self as part of the LGBTQ community but to become a cycle-breaker and guide others to feel seen, loved, and empowered to share their light too.”

- Jerome, Event Planner,

YOUR FACILITATOR:

Libni Fortuna

Founder, Essence Retreat · International Facilitator
 

You know that feeling when you walk into a room and something shifts? The air changes. You exhale in a way you didn't know you were holding. You feel, without anyone saying a word, that you are finally, completely safe.

That is what it feels like to be in a room with Libni. And after years of people leaving her spaces saying "I have never experienced anything like that" — she built this training to answer that question.

Libni has spent over a decade going all in on the work. Five years of rigorous international training — becoming a US Certified, Science Backed Master Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming, a certified hypnotherapist, an internationally accredited breathwork and meditation facilitator, a quantum healing practitioner, a sound therapist, a Reiki practitioner, and a trauma-aware somatic facilitator. She did not sample these modalities. She devoted herself to them.

 

Then she took that mastery into the room. Over a hundred retreats across the Philippines, Australia, and Indonesia. Thousands of people. Corporate wellness for Makati Shangri-La. Retreats in Bali. A Women's Empowerment Summit for nearly 1000 attendees. In 2024, she stood on the stage at TEDxLanang Ave — the Philippines' largest TEDx event — and delivered her talk, "Liberation in Safe Spaces."

And then came the vision. She saw the Philippines lit up. She felt it in her body, not as an idea, but as something undeniable. A country full of people who carry so much, who have never had someone show them what it looks like to hold a genuinely safe space. And something in her said:

"I cannot keep this to myself. I cannot not share this."

 

So she took everything, every retreat, every session, every hard-won lesson across more than a hundred spaces in three countries, and she built one training. Because she could see what becomes possible when more people are equipped to do this work.

"As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
— Marianne Williamson
 

Libni has lived that truth for over a decade. This training is her giving you permission to live it too.
