Facilitation plays a key role in my work as a Consultant.  I've faciliated numerous retreats, board meetings and community meetings. On April 28th, from 7 to 9pm, I'll be leading an "Introduction to Facilitation" workshop at the Los Angeles Eco Village. I invite you to attend.  

Here's more info about the training: "Facilitators play a key role in helping a group make decisions, especially intentional communities and neighborhood groups.  They help create a safe environment where everyone feels like their input is valued.  In this workshop, you’ll explore the benefits of facilitation, explore the group decision making process, explore various tools a facilitator uses, and have the opportunity to practice facilitating a group (and receive feedback).   Good facilitation can significantly raise the quality of life in any group that makes decisions together. Poor facilitation can sometimes chase valuable members away from a group."
