How we work together matters. We all have stories of difficult collaborations: endless meetings, draining partnerships, strained relationships. When we get stuck, we miss opportunities to spark meaningful change. In our work for social and climate justice we need the skills to have hard conversations, work with multiple perspectives, and find ways to move forward together.

In this program, we explore how to shape more transformative collaborations. We focus on deepening our self-awareness and developing the abilities to work creatively, intentionally, and whole-heartedly with the complexity of groups. 

Whether you lead meetings, hold space for multi-stakeholder gatherings or movements, or participate in team or community processes, this program is for you.

Testimonials

After participating in this program, I realized I can embrace facilitation as a critical ability to support everything I do. It's not just about organizing or hosting meetings. It's about expanding our capacity to see, listen and sense people, both individually and collectively, and have clarity about shared goals, tensions, polarities, being able to hold the space for what emerges with awareness and flexibility.

This is an important training that brings the soul into facilitation, and we can all agree more soul is always welcome. Amazing.

This training will be instrumental to my daily work and facilitation roles, I learnt a lot about the topic and, through this, also about myself. What was especially positive is how we could try to put the learning into practice immediately and how knowledgeable and approachable/relatable each of the facilitators were.

I feel now like I can practice letting go of imperfection and carry a spirit of trying things on. I am still just as scared/nervous about stepping into this facilitator self, but in connecting with this group, I feel like I owe it to myself to do it anyway.

I feel good and calmer. I felt a shift in my nervous system altogether and trust that I am on the right path, not just because of the session, but also having met incredible people that share my path as well.

I feel really energized and a lot more equipped to facilitate now. I just feel a lot more secure in the facilitation knowledge and muscles I already have and use comfortably, and a much more clear understanding of areas I need to work on and tangible methods and activities to put those skills into practice.
