Every time two or more people gather they are creating a world together. It is completely unique, shaped by everyone who participates. What kind of world are you looking to create together?

Facilitation puts intention into the world that is being created when people gather. It is used to assist groups and make their processes easier. The facilitation practices I offer can help you do any of the following:

These are general examples because every facilitation is customized to your exact needs. When we work together, we start with the basics. We’ll talk about your community of people gathering, what you wish to do, your goals, and the timeline. Everything is then designed uniquely for that time, purpose, and group.

How does it work?

I spend a lot of time building experiences that feel open, safe to participate in, and welcoming. Creating safer and more accessible spaces for all participants is a priority in how I design.

Online Facilitation. Since March of 2020 I’ve focused on developing facilitative practices that make online gatherings easy and highly engaging. I use visual facilitation and a variety of participatory tools and practices to add energy and intrigue. These are highly participatory sessions.

In-person. I design spaces and experiences that help participants lean into a meeting’s purpose and stay engaged together. I take COVID safety seriously and will work with you to design for community care and plan for backup options.

A mix of both. Offering in-person and virtual options for a gathering creates greater accessibility and participation levels. I have developed ways to make this option work smoothly in real time. I can help you get started.

Training
