Visions for a Future for Everyone
Getting from here to there
About the Workshop
How can we facilitate a space that allows for everyone to participate in envisioning the future? The loud and the quiet, the powerful and the marginalized, the young and the old, men and women and everybody in between. In this workshop, we will look for new answers and discover ways to hold all the voices within ourselves.
This work is challenging and exciting. But together we can create a trauma-informed space. We can be reflective of our differences, and model styles of facilitation that embrace the deep diversity that stems from our individual and collective histories.
What to Expect
We will apply a range of tools and techniques, as well as inner work exercises and practices, to strengthen the awareness and facilitation skills that western societies badly need right now to create a new positive vision for the future.
By the end of the workshop, you will have:
- experienced a palpable vision for a truly democratic future
- a sense of how we can get to this future, including all the diversity
- learned new tools and practices for your own work
- collaborated with inspiring participants and a world-class facilitator
- insights on the connection of your world view with historical and collective trauma
- moved from a traumatic past to a hopeful future
