Program Description:
🌾 Facilitation with Intention: Practices for Purposeful Gathering
A 3-part series for anyone who brings people together and wants more ease, connection, and impact.

Coming together live is a gift—and a choice point. We can default to old patterns: talking at people instead of with them, checking boxes, skimming the surface, avoiding what’s real.  Or—we can gather with intention.

This series is for anyone who holds space—whether it’s a staff meeting, retreat, community gathering, or strategy session—and wants to do it with more clarity, presence, and care.

There’s no one “right” way to facilitate. But we’ve found some practices that work—consistently, meaningfully, and across contexts. We’re here to share what we’ve learned—humbly and honestly—as an invitation to explore new ways of showing up.

Together, we’ll explore how to design and lead spaces where people feel alive, connected to purpose, and ready to move—not just sit and listen.

✨ Come to one, or join us for the full series.
Each session stands on its own—with practical tools and grounded takeaways.
Together, they build a fuller practice of facilitation with intention.

🌿 Part 1: The Art of Holding Space

Holding space begins with how we show up. In this session, we’ll explore simple but powerful ways to bring presence, calm, and intention into any room. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to facilitate from a posture of service, and how our energy shapes the space we hold.

You’ll leave with:

• Quick practices to center yourself before and during a gathering

• A clearer sense of your own facilitation stance and mindset

• Tools to support presence, openness, and grounding
