Facilitating from the Heart
Wednesday June 19th & July 17th at 12pm PST / 3pm EST
Living in reciprocity, when we have been given knowledge, it is our responsibility to pass it on for the benefit of future generations. This two-session series, designed to support group facilitators of the 2024-25 4 Seasons of Reconciliation program titled “Reciprocal Relationships,” will provide practical frameworks and flexible strategies for preparing and hosting meaningful learning spaces.
Welcoming learners of all levels while accommodating different identities and needs is intricate. Working from the heart accesses your own and others moral and ethical knowing, a deeper awareness than is affirmed by the colonial structures most have been raised within.
Participants will learn about and practice methods that have been employed effectively with all ages and stages, engaging in collective transformative learning toward just and sustainable futures. Meanwhile, we will hold humility as learners ourselves, knowing that even when are facilitating, our own growth is always also a priority.
