Empathy-based collaborative sense-making...


 

Hi all,

I'm super happy to be on this list, and have been spreading the word about it far and wide,
including in a I wrote for my sporadic blog on "The Listening Arts"....

This is my first post here, though I've been reading a lot of what's been shared.
I wanted to let folks know that there are still a few spaces left in our on Dynamic Facilitation,
an empathy and emergence-based collaborative sense-making approach that has been growing in Germany and Austria.

This is our first time offering this workshop online, as a public offering. We have been madly prototyping away for the last six weeks,
after a number of in-person workshops in Europe were cancelled due to COVID --? more deets on all that, in the blog post above.

And so we are asking what we think is a very reasonable fee, for what is usually a two-day in-person workshop (now spread over four three-hour sessions.)
Still, if you are interested and would need more flexibility regarding the fee, please let us know.

I especially enjoy sharing the listening-based Dynamic Facilitation approach with facilitators who have a background in Compassionate Listening, or in Non-Violent Communication, or in Playback Theater...? also with people who have a background in mediation, especially the work of the Center for Understanding in Conflict, as we work a lot with what they term "looping".?

Yet while helpful, none of that is a pre-requisite. The core of our outreach, and most of the folks who have signed up thus far,? are facilitators who work in the context of public engagement, facilitating CItizen's Assemblies. At the same time, this work is also quite useful in a business context -- here's on those applications.

Ok, that's it!? I look forward to updating folks here, on our learnings from the workshop. We'll be using a combination of Mural and Zoom,
two tools I've worked with in the past and really love. From all the prototyping we've done thus far, the main take-away is that yes,
online DF is different than the in-person experience, AND, it is still very worthwhile!

with all best wishes,

Rosa
