The Art and Science of Facilitation: Creating Sacred Space for Collective Flourishing
A group settles only as far as the person holding it has settled
Refining the instrument runs along several lines at once: developing enough emotional range to meet groups wherever they are; widening the repertoire of practices and processes so there are options to draw on; deepening theoretical understanding so group dynamics can be read with precision; and continuously tending one's own nervous system, shadows, and biases so they do not quietly distort what can be heard and offered. Most of all it requires practice and feedback.
