Group Facilitation Training

Wise Leadership, Wise Groups

This training is designed to provide essential leadership tools to practitioners of transformation through an understanding of how we create and influence effective and satisfying group experiences. Using the group itself as our learning school, and emotional wisdom technologies, we discover what we bring to group experiences and, as a result, what we create, and how we can influence shifts from frustration to creativity and authentic leadership in group life. Using our group life, we learn how to understand and respect the gifts of intense emotions in others from our own empathic experiences. We will:

  • Clarify our role, responsibility, and strengths in working collaboratively.
  • Learn practices that assist us in being with intense emotions without story, blame or shame.
  • Deepen awareness of how we help and interfere with the healing process of others.

  • Learn group training design principles.
  • Expanded our ability to connect in situations of conflict, competition, and indifference.
  • Learn how to set agreements with fight, flight and shrink Disguises of RageTM types.
  • Discover how processes of projection and transference operate in groups.
  • Understand the impact of race, gender and class oppression within peer partnerships and groups.
  • Understand shame-based diversity dynamics (race, class, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, class, etc.) and intervene to bring harmony and balance to group spirit.
  • Practice Percept Orientation language to neutralize conflict and take responsibility for our own experiences.
  • Incorporate silence, stillness, and meditation practices to quiet the storm of group conflict.
  • Practice empathic integration tools that create safety that participants instinctively trust.
