BEYOND FACILITATION consists of four sessions:

SEPTEMBER 12:  SESSION 1 --  MASTERING THE FOURFOLD PRACTICE

The Fourfold Practice is a holon, meaning each part of the map incorporates and moves beyond the point that comes before it. When all parts of this map are in balance, you bring both greater presence and greater effectiveness to your work and life; your inner world and your outer expression are in generative relationship.

SEPTEMBER 19:  SESSION 2 -- NAVIGATING THE EIGHT BREATHS OF PROCESS ARCHITECTURE

The Breath Pattern is a foundational map for group process, repeating itself over the life of an initiative or process. When you understand the steps of this pattern, you bring an overview that makes you an invaluable guide to the process.  

SEPTEMBER 26:  SESSION 3 -- STORY: THE "SECRET SAUCE" OF GREAT HOSTING 

Story is the perfect process partner in creating the bridge to understanding and a connected field. It can become both your trusted dance partner and an excellent lens for sensing deeper rhythms as you weave methodologies together. Discover how to work with story as an integral part of your process design. 

OCTOBER 3:  SESSION 3 -- FINDING THE GOLD IN LIVED EXPERIENCE: APPLYING THE COLLECTIVE STORY HARVEST METHOD

Our brains are set up to learn from each other's stories. Understanding how to apply this unique harvesting method leads to a deeper awareness of how to host the emergence of collective wisdom and meaning-making in any group.

You're going to love the active learning focus and working with people from around the world.
