Advanced Facilitator Group: Four-Month Experiential Training
This group is full. A new round of these groups will start in the Fall This four-session, once-a-month facilitator group is an experiential training, with each monthly meeting run as a small group. This approach is an entirely different way of training facilitators. Instead of being told how to facilitate, group members learn through participation and watching Rev. Tayler, our Team Lead, model facilitation. Along the way, Rev. Tayler pauses to offer facilitator tips and comment on group process. This also allows participants to experience a “dry run” of the session they will be leading with their groups in the following month. After each 2 hour session, facilitators can stay on the call for an optional and more personalized troubleshooting and tips session with Rev. Tayler. This is a chance for facilitators to receive monthly support for the particular challenges they are wrestling with in the groups they run in their home congregations. In addition to training, this approach provides participants with personal spiritual nourishment as they bond and share with fellow facilitators from around the country.
Participants must take our single-session New Facilitator Training prior to this training. DATES & TIME: Meets on the last Thursday of each month, February to May, from 7-9pm eastern time (Feb. 27, March 27, April 24, May 29) This group is Full COST: $80 per participant
