Centering Facilitation Workshop
The magic of Centering stems from skillful and compassionate group facilitation. This engaging workshop—available online and in-person—prepares you to launch your first Centering group. Whether you have experience with facilitation or are just starting out, you will build confidence through skill-building and interactive learning activities and leave this workshop with a strong understanding of the Centering model.
Each cohort of learners will either meet virtually for multiple sessions or in-person for two days to practice facilitation and group management skills. You’ll learn proven Centering facilitation techniques such as mindful listening, strategic questioning and Acknowledge, Refer, Return (ARR) and have ample time to practice these techniques. You will also engage in important discussions around creating inclusive groups grounded in health equity. Participants will leave feeling ready to plan and lead their own Centering groups!
