Stone Soup community members practice the Way of Council every Saturday after lunch. Council is a circle practice of listening and speaking from the heart. If you want to experience this practice more deeply and especially if you want to facilitate council, this two-day training would be great for you.
Description
The facilitators will conduct a workshop to provide an introduction to
the practice of Council for individuals interested in learning to
facilitate circle processes. The training includes establishing the
setting for Council, basic guidelines for the process, different forms
of Council, the role of the Council facilitator and witnessing. Units
alternate between presentation and discussions and experiential
activities and Councils and generally entail 16 contact hours with a
consistent group of participants. In this experiential introductory
workshop, participants will be invited to enter into the Council circle;
to set aside assumptions and expectations, and to experience creating a
cohesive and inviting container within which to share a unique and
authentic part of themselves and their communities.
Date and Time
Saturday September 13 & Sunday September 14,
9-6 each day, with an hour break for lunch.
Location
Windhorse Office
211 North St., Northampton
Cost$250 (possibly less, depending on how many participate)
