Community

GROUP FACILITATION

There are times when a group of people—drawn together by interest, friendship, or being part of a community such as school, church, or neighborhood—wish to meet together over a certain theme or purpose. 

As a group facilitator, I listen to the group’s desires, vision, and way of being together to discern and propose methods of gathering. I hold space for the group, nurturing an inviting, safe, and enriching environment.

These are a few examples of groups I facilitate (past and present):

• Mothers Circle – A community of mothers meet monthly to reflect on their everyday lives - parenting, work, family and relationships, personal growth, community - and how all of the "stuffness" of life shape our joys, challenges, sense of self, hopes, and dreams .

• Church committees (examples: leadership team, family ministry team, social justice group) (meetings, retreats, gatherings)

• Parenting and Self-Care for Moms (8 week series offered by Women Thriving, Inc.)

• Contemplative Prayer

• Morning Meditation
