What is Deep Human Facilitation?

Deep Human Facilitation is an intensive 2-level course in the fundamentals of facilitation, designed to equip facilitators with the skills, mindsets and practical tools they need to create powerful, meaningful and engaging workshops and group experiences.

This course is for anyone who aspires to facilitate meaningful group discussions and gatherings.

Understanding the Two Levels

Level 1:

Designed for facilitators who facilitate simpler workshops and training programmes, or those who are newer to facilitation.

• Handling senior-level participants and stakeholders
• Navigating more complicated situations and team dynamics
• Targeting deeper levels of transformation
• Facilitating more challenging audiences
• Working with larger group sizes

Prerequisite: Completion of Deep Human Facilitation Level 1 is required before enrolling in Level 2. Level 1 provides the essential foundations, frameworks and facilitation skills that Level 2 builds upon.
