Meta Pets Method · Training

The path to integrating the Meta Pets Method

Meta Pets training unfolds in levels, combining practice, experience and clarity at every stage. Each step widens your capacity to hold other people's processes, integrating the method in a concrete and applicable way.

The triad of the method

Essence, Gift and Shadow

Essence

Your ground

Essence is your most stable centre — what remains beyond change. Working from Essence lets you orient with clarity and connect with what is deepest in you.

Gift

Your resource in action

The Gift is the capacity that activates through understanding. It is how the inner becomes visible and applicable, turning insight into concrete, sustainable action.

Shadow

What gets integrated

Shadow holds the aspects that are not always visible, or that create tension. Once recognised, it stops limiting you and becomes useful information for the process.

The path

Four levels of training

  1. Level 1 · Enrolment open4th cohort · starts September 2026

    Meta Pets Explorer

    This is the entry point to the method. You begin working with the cards both in your own process and in one-to-one sessions, taking on a clear structure that lets you explore and facilitate with greater clarity and depth. You learn to access the inner world in an ordered way, opening spaces where emotions, patterns and new understandings emerge — first in yourself, and then in others.

    Requirements

    8-hour workshop, online and in person. A card deck is required. Final assessment.

    Permissions

    Use the cards in your personal practice and in one-to-one sessions. Join the global community. Training others is not permitted.

  2. Level 2 · Applications open10 continuing education hours (CCEU) · USD 847

    Meta Pets Facilitator

    At this level you go deeper into shadow work and into the integration of processes. Your capacity expands, allowing you to hold both individual and group processes. You develop sharper judgement, presence and sensitivity to hold whatever emerges, integrating what you have learned more consciously and coherently.

    Requirements

    20-hour intensive training (online/hybrid). Supervised practice sessions. Portfolio submission. Meta Pets Explorer certification required.

    Permissions

    Deliver official Meta Pets workshops for groups. Use brand materials.

    A limited number of partial founding scholarships is available.

  3. Level 3 · Coming soon35 continuing education hours (CCEU)

    Meta Pets Guide

    As the method integrates, your presence gains consistency, depth and precision. You begin to hold more complex processes, to sustain spaces with greater safety, and to grow the method in new Meta Pets facilitators out of your own experience. Your role expands — no longer only facilitating, but sustaining and leading processes of transformation.

    Requirements

    5-day intensive retreat. More than 50 documented sessions. Peer review. Meta Pets Facilitator certification held for at least 12 months.

    Permissions

    Train Explorers in your country or region. Facilitate advanced workshops. Regional community leadership.

    Includes 35 continuing education hours (CCEU)

  4. Level 4 · By invitation only

    Meta Pets Alchemist

    This level is the embodiment of the method as part of your own consciousness: holding the method as a living presence, accompanying other facilitators on their path and taking an active part in its expansion. Your view widens, the way you hold others deepens, and your role becomes that of a reference, a trainer and a guardian of the process.

    Requirements

    By invitation only. More than 100 sessions. Contribution to research or publication. Interview with Luis Gallardo. Meta Pets Guide status held for at least 18 months.

    Permissions

    Deliver level 1 and 2 training. Create localised content. Represent Meta Pets internationally. Co-develop new materials. Advisory Council member.
