ABOUT THIS WORK:
I welcome you to a space for facilitators to relax and be held with a focus on the joyful nature of facilitation. This will be a space to reflect, experience, question and expand your awareness of your unique facilitation style.
It has been said that,
“A great facilitator brings an energetic signature to any event or group, powerful enough to form and infuse that space.”
At the same time, ours is a humble job where success is seen when our group participants can say "We did it ourselves".
So we are always negotiating the boundaries between leadership and space holding. Facilitation means to make easy, to allow flow. This means navigating both group dynamics and self perceptions.
As we meet and address each moment in our time together some of the principles that are likely to come up include:
• Understanding purpose
• Serving the parts and whole
• Navigating and deepening the group field
• Group dynamics and maintaining a potent container
• Holding boundaries
• The many qualities of self as an instrument
• Discernment
• Sacred as everyday
• The distinctions between leadership, training, teaching, instructing and facilitating
ABOUT KAREN
I bring many years of facilitating to our time together. Group contexts I have led include special needs housing, corporate consulting and executive coaching, human potential training, gestalt group work, Neo-Tantra sexuality, Goddess archetype priestess development, Qigong and meditation and psychedelic retreats in legal settings.
