The Five Fold Path: The Craft of Skillful Facilitation
2026-03-04 18:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-11 18:00 - 20:00
Meetings are the heart of any organization. We get together in meetings for many reasons: to discuss issues, make decisions, set priorities and respond to crises. In meetings, we learn who our colleagues are, and decide whom we can trust. We may laugh, cry, rage, love, and comfort one another, while dealing with the business at hand.

Productive meetings allow an organization to move forward, keep members engaged, and give them a sense of empowerment and efficacy. Meetings can be cauldrons of group creativity or occasions of intimate sharing. And, of course, they can also be long-winded, fruitless, pointless arenas of frustration. The difference is often what makes or breaks a group.

Come learn the keys to effective facilitation for successful groups.
