About the workshop: 

As facilitators, we’ve all had moments when the agenda goes off the rails. How do we stay grounded when plans shift—or conflict arises? This 4-session small-group series helps facilitators develop the embodied skills to stay present, responsive, and aligned with group needs in real-time. Through somatic practices, reflection, and facilitation labs, participants will explore tools for self-awareness, navigating automatic reactions, and adjusting their presence under pressure. Designed for facilitators who want to lead with more resilience, integrity, and impact—especially in moments that test them most.

Learning Objectives 

In this session, participants will:

• Develop embodied awareness of how they impact and are impacted by group dynamics.

• Practice somatic tools for navigating conflict, tension, and uncertainty in facilitation.

• Strengthen their ability to stay centered, regulated, and choiceful under pressure.

• March 4, 11, and 18 are 90-minute online workshops. 
• March 25 is a 2-hour workshop.

All four sessions begin at 11:00am Eastern.
