Certification
You are not becoming a teacher.
You are becoming a witness.
Sacred Recovery certification is not about academic mastery.
It is about sacred responsibility.
It is about carrying memory in your mouth, breath in your teaching, and truth in your bones.
This is a call to facilitate healing. To return language. To restore sacred identity wherever you are planted.
Overview of Sacred Recovery Facilitator Training

– Teach the truths of The Book of Us
– Lead Sacred Recovery workshops and storytelling circles
– Translate glossary terms and sacred language into real-world healing

This training is not an academic seminar.

FAQ
Do I need a religious background to join?
No. This is for all who are spiritually grounded, culturally rooted, and called to truth.
Is this training only for Black Americans?
While Sacred Recovery centers the lived experience of American Descendants of Slavery, allies, co-laborers, and cross-cultural leaders are welcome to participate—if they come in reverence, not appropriation.
What do I receive?
You will receive access to live teaching, study materials, peer circles, recorded content, and a pathway into the Sacred Recovery educator network.
How is this different from a workshop or retreat?
This is a covenantal commitment. It trains you not just to understand—but to carry.
