phase one
FACILITATING IN THE EVERYDAY
We believe that everyone is a facilitator. In our regular daily life, we help people figure things out, ensure everyone is heard at a meeting, and so much more. We can all benefit from learning about facilitator and how to apply it in the everyday.
Free so there is no barrier to learn
Phase 1 is free and can be accessed by anyone who is interested in exploring facilitation and learning some basic skills around facilitating a small meeting. It is ideal for ministry settings, faith-based communities, and tapping into each person's ability to facilitate in everyday encounters.
On-demand videos to learn at your pace
Phase 1 offers a series of on-demand videos and a supportive self-guided process for the integration of the material. Phase 1 can be done at your own pace, over a few weeks to a year. It can be started at any time. Simply register.
If you have an interest to be a part of Phase 2, please keep in mind that Phase 1 needs to be completed (certificate received) by 10 November 2025.
Learn by yourself or create your own learning group
Phase 1 is flexible and open to all. With this comes some flexibility in its use. Do you have a group that would benefit from working through each section together? Each person can register and have access to the materials, then find a time to connect and discuss. Or, move through Phase 1 on your own. It is whatever works for you and your circumstances. You may have another idea. If so, let us know. We always want to hear about new ideas.
