The Art & Science of Making Meaningful Moments - Subtle Strategies & Creative Conditions for Effective & Uplifting Facilitation


Join us for one or all of our sessions to learn the art and science of making meaningful moments through strategic and creative facilitation.  Learn subtle facilitative strategies and the creative conditions that enable us as facilitators and trainers to effectively bring people together and uplift them through the process.  The Facilitation Guild includes higher education professionals, science researchers, and small business owners who together have years of interdisciplinary experience as facilitators.  Each session will feature two facilitators working in tandem to share with you their best practices within each topic.  Our goal is for you to leave with fresh ideas that could lead to big changes within your organization and create a lasting impact for others. All sessions are followed by office hours to engage more with the facilitators!
