Belonging Together: A Facilitation & Communication Professional Development Training Course for Space Holders begins on Thursday, March 26 and runs for six consecutive Thursdays from 1:00-3:30 pm on Zoom.
This is an immersive unlearning and relearning course to evolve facilitation skills for trauma informed equitable communication, inclusion of diverse perspectives and voices, and building cultural conditions for belonging. Embody and integrate circle facilitation practices for dialogue where power is shared, whole selves are valued, and listening is centered in the heart.
A past participant said: “I recommend this course for anyone engaged in facilitation, space holding, community building, and change making. There is such a need for each of us to truly evaluate and be accountable for how facilitation practices can and do perpetuate the systems we are actively trying to change. Belonging Together provided me with tools, prompts, and opportunities to step deeper into my own facilitation by experimenting with conscious, intentional, heart-led facilitation techniques in a safe space where I was able to confront my own shadows so that I may show up more authentically and fully in this work.”
