B. Advanced Facilitation
“Facilitating
emergence…”
This course offers an opportunity
to develop a deeper understanding and practice of working with
emergent unfolding processes in groups, with a focus on the role of
the facilitator. This course is for practitioners, with a practice and
some experience involving facilitation, who want to enliven their
practice and enhance their skills, so that they are better able to
work intuitively and in the moment. It will be useful for
practitioners who want to generate learning from within and between
stakeholders, and to improve existing developmental interventions so
that they become more conscious and participatory.

C. Observation, Insight and Intervention
“Developing a new
discipline for facilitating change”
This programme runs over 19 days,
providing an in-depth introduction to Goethean methodology,
specifically as a means for developing a new approach to social
intervention. It addresses itself to four aspects: understanding
living process; practising new ways of seeing and thinking (developing
methods), engaging in processes of self-development (to facilitate our
own change as our understanding and approach changes); and translating
and applying our new understanding and capacities into the situations
with which we are engaged. The programme includes a 6 – 8 day
residential retreat which will run over a weekend.
