Soulful Facilitation. April 8, 15, 29

January 16, 2008

1:00 to 3:00pm alternate Tuesday afternoons.

To me this is a very important unit for anyone who works with people. Facilitation is almost a jargon word today. It really means any form of communication that is meant to serve others in guiding their process to help them be who they really are. It occurs when we are guiding our children, when we are being a good friend or spouse, as well as any time we are leading a group in any way. I have a great deal of experience in many different settings but there are common elements in all of them and I want to explore that with you, illuminating the concept of deep listening. This unit will examine the concepts of allowing, of wisdom and connection. We will discuss a few models for learning and adapt them to new ways of working with spirit. We will focus significantly on listening, both inward listening and outward deep listening. You will also learn about some new ways of facilitating using Open Space Technology and also Appreciative Inquiry. Being aware of these methods may prompt you to read more about them and apply them or a variation of them to your unique situation. The individual session with this unit can zero in on the specific area in your life where you want to enhance your facilitation with wisdom and spirit.
