IF Community of Practice & Facilitation Series
This is a specially curated practice community exclusively for graduates of the IF path - all grads from Next Stage, Advanced Praxis, and Certified Integral Facilitators are welcome.
This new IF Community of Practice will focus on high engagement and learning for everyone, at any point on their IF journey.
A Facilitation Practice Series
The backbone of the CoP will be a monthly live online 90 minute Facilitation Practice experience.
These sessions are focused on having “hot topic” conversations in a carefully designed format that liberates us to participate with ease while learning a great deal about facilitating these challenging topics.
What do we mean by "hot"?
Past conversations included removal of historic statues, and gender pronouns, vaccinations, and migration. (What important conversations need to happen in your world, that feel charged and daunting?)
You'll recall that on the IF path, we engage the whole person, the spoken and unspoken, and dare to take risks to surface differences as well as sameness.
Every session includes:
a REAL conversation +
live facilitation COACHING +
A group DEBRIEF at the end
Your participation in the Facilitation Practice will:
- Integrate your 'lived experience' and your IF learnings
- Deepen your in-the-moment sensing of what a group needs
- Help you respond when you don’t know what to do
- Show you how to keep things fresh and dynamic
- Give you a space to let go of inner pressure to “get it right”
- Deepen your presence and awareness
- Offer tools and approaches for supporting challenging conversations
