Online People's Assembly Facilitator Training With Caroline and Julian
Although we know in-person training and opportunities to practice are ideal, we hope that we can help you feel a bit more confident about facilitating or get another local group member trained up to do it with you.
Please forward this on to whoever in your region you feel would be interested.
We will be running these monthly along with regional in-person training, so please take whatever support you need.

Julian , good to hear.. .we practice empathic listening ie active listening. this helps with becoming a better listener in general. It is also for developing a more empathic way of being, or a 'culture of empathy'. so it's both skills and a mindset. We are working to train people in being facilitators as well.
I'd like to set up Empathic Peoples Assemblies.. Empathic listening would be used in the breakout groups of the Peoples Assembly. This would support deeper listening and give all the participant a feeling of being heard to their satisfaction. Perhaps we could chat about that some time?
I look forward to taking part in your next workshop!

Hi Edwin
That’s a great idea!
The PA circle can’t take this on at the moment though. We are thoroughly focused on getting our basic training out to all the regions and training up regional trainers of PA Facilitators. We want the basic level of PA facilitator in every region and local group. After that we can roll-out something more advanced!
Also, I think you are based in the USA, aren’t you? Our preference is for face-to-face trainings as PA’s are best face-to-face. We do an online training as a shortened substitute as needs must.
Hopefully some of our PA facilitators will do your online classes!
All the Best
Julian

@Edwin Rutsch Oh! and we recommend Empathy circles as follow-up. In the limited time we have in our 3 hour session we only teach "listening" whereas my understanding is that you teach "reflective listening". Overtime, we need to offer lots of different modules with different facilitator skills into the XR community
