Our first seasonal practice day starts with winter where nature invites us to slow down and rest. A time where life retreats underground to regenerate; trees shed their leaves to conserve energy, many animals hibernate, and plants often enter a dormant state. As the landscape appears barren above the ground, beneath the surface the soil is alive; in the process of decay, mycelium weaves unseen connections and seeds are preserved and nurtured in the fertile dark.

This one-day workshop will explore these questions and offer tools for facilitation. The experience is suitable for individuals or organisations who want to improve the way they work with groups, as well as those new to facilitation. Filled with a rich selection of methods, approaches and exercises, the day will offer an insider look into some of the facilitation tools used for Spiritual Ecology & St Ethelburga’s transformational programmes. It will be highly experiential, with an opportunity to engage with practical techniques that help to foster participative and productive group conversations.
