A 6 month online course and learning community with regularly scheduled webinars, online learning platform, study circles, homework, and optional "cafes." Webinars will be held on the first Saturday of the month at two different times to accommodate multiple time zones.
The course curriculum addresses four "threads":

II. Facilitation skills
III. Decolonizing Our Minds and Building Inclusion
IV. Living the Great Turning.
The Foundations course is open to beginning facilitators in the Work That Reconnects. Prerequisites include 1) participation in at least 3 days (or 12 hours) of experiential practice in the Work That Reconnects (retreats, workshops, ongoing study groups, online workshops) See
https://workthatreconnects.org/events/ for upcoming events that you could attend; 2) read books: Coming Back to Life and Active Hope; 3) diversity/anti-oppression study or training.
All webinars, forums and study circles are online. Participants need to be relatively comfortable learning and interacting online.
