LEADING FROM

THE HEART

This training is the culmination of Rupda's 47 years of work.

It's everything she's learned about what creates real transformation, distilled into a program that teaches you to facilitate from the inside out.

Most facilitator trainings teach you what to say and do. This one teaches you how to be.

Because here's the catch: the more you understand yourself, the better equipped you'll be to hold space for others.

You can't guide people through territory you haven't explored in yourself. You can't hold space for intensity if you collapse when things get hard. You can't teach presence if you're performing instead of being present.

This training works from the inside out - starting with your own growth as the foundation for everything else.

BECOME A LEADER AND FACILITATOR WHO INSPIRES, EMPOWERS, AND CREATES CHANGE

This is hands-on, experiential learning where you practice facilitating with real-time coaching.

You'll learn by doing, not by memorising. You'll discover your own authentic way of leading, not by copying someone else's style.

Over 5 months, you'll become part of a movement - conscious leadership, trauma-informed facilitation, and somatic embodiment woven together. Not as separate skills to collect, but as an integrated way of working that becomes who you are.

Experiential, Embodied Learning.

You'll be in the arena - feeling, practicing, receiving feedback in real time. You'll learn what it actually feels like to hold a room when things get intense. You'll practice facilitating while Rupda and the team coach you in the moment.

Integrate Mind, Body, and Heart.

Most trainings focus on techniques for the mind. The Rupbellion gives you tools that work with the whole person. Somatic practices for the body, communication frameworks for connection, and the kind of heart-centered presence that invites real transformation.

Be Part of a Movement.

You're becoming a conscious leader. You're becoming part of a community committed to facilitating with authenticity, trauma-informed awareness, and deep respect for people's process. The Rupbellion is about leading from presence, not performance. From authenticity, not agenda.

I chose to use the word ‘Facilitator’ because for me it represents holding space for another. Wise leaders are facilitators because they’re inclusive. Facilitative leaders tap into collective wisdom by listening to, and integrating diverse perspectives. Instead of having followers, they have contributors.

MIND, BODY, HEART INTEGRATION

This training gives you tools that work with the whole person...

For the Mind:
Communication frameworks, understanding group dynamics, trauma-informed theory, and the frameworks that help you make sense of what's happening.

For the Body:
Somatic practices to read what's happening beneath the words, work with the nervous system, and facilitate from embodied presence rather than just your head.

For the Heart:
Learning to lead with compassion and fierce love. Holding space with genuine care while maintaining clear boundaries. Facilitating from service, not ego.

These aren't separate skills — they work together. The best facilitation happens when you can think clearly, feel what's happening in the room through your body, and stay connected to your heart.

TESTIMONIALS

For a long time, I have felt a deep pull to explore my inner journey through coaching and self-development, both personally and professionally. Finally, I took the leap and completed the Facilitator Training with Rupda. It was an incredibly valuable and exciting experience! I am deeply grateful for the lessons and insights gained throughout the training. It reinforced my confidence and helped me realise that I am capable of achieving anything I set my mind and heart to.

One pivotal moment for me was embracing the message: "the permission to f*** up." This shift in perspective has opened doors for me, not only personally but also professionally. It has given me the courage to step outside my comfort zone, try new things, and pursue work that feels more meaningful. Most recently, this experience has given me the confidence to take a new step forward, changing my career path. Thank you for the gift that keeps on giving.

— Charlotte, Aspiring Facilitator

I had the incredible opportunity to attend a The Rupbellion Facilitator Training, and I cannot express enough how positively it impacted my personal and professional growth. The workshop was led by the exceptional Rupda, who truly embodied the principles of self-development and leadership. From the start, I felt a sense of warmth and encouragement. The workshop was designed to create a safe and supportive environment, allowing each participant to explore their strengths and areas for improvement. The leader's enthusiasm and passion were infectious. Throughout the workshop, I gained valuable insights and practical tools that I can apply to various aspects of my life. Rupda's ability to communicate complex concepts and break them down into actionable steps was remarkable. I left the training feeling empowered and equipped with strategies to enhance my leadership skills. What truly set this training apart was the emphasis on personal growth. We were encouraged to reflect on our own values, beliefs, and goals, and challenged to step outside our comfort zone. This allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of myself and how I can become a more effective leader. Thank you!

THE HEART BEHIND THE RUPBELLION

Rupda has been training facilitators for over 20 years and here’s what she knows: The best facilitators aren’t the ones with the most certifications. They’re the ones who’ve done their own work and can be real with people.

She’ll push you to look at your patterns. She’ll catch you when you’re performing instead of being present. She’ll make you laugh while pointing out your blind spots. And she’ll celebrate when you find your authentic way of leading.

Her training is experiential because that’s the only way to actually learn this work. You can’t become a facilitator from a textbook. You have to feel it, practice it, mess it up, and try again.

The training team includes experienced facilitators who’ve been through the Rupbellion themselves. They know what it’s like to be where you are. They’ll support you, coach you, and hold space for your growth.
