Facilitator Skills



A  3-day Workshop:  Saturday 9th May – Monday 11th May 2026

I’m delighted that many of you are finding that what is ‘yours to do’ involves working with groups. More and more of us are recognising that Facilitation Skills are absolutely vital!

In a previous life, before I woke up to the meta-crisis, this was a workshop I offered regularly on a commercial basis.  This 3-day workshop would be free to you, other than funding your accommodation if you stay at Hunton Park.  I generally only offer this workshop once a year.

Facilitation comes from the Latin root ‘facere’, which simply means ‘to make easier’.  It includes the following skills:

  • Building Connection, Engagement and Trust

  • Asking Great Questions

  • The Iceberg of Group Dynamics

  • Paying Attention to Task and Process

  • Ways to get People Involved

  • Resolving Conflict in Groups

  • Non-Verbal Behaviours

  • Separate Realities

  • Intervening Skills

  • Creating a ‘Contract’

  • Framing

  • Tools for Inviting the Group into different Emotional States

  • Music and Movement in Groups

  • Developing more Behavioural Flexibility as a Facilitator

It will be a smallish group – I’ll cap it at about 10 people, so there’s lots of time for practice. There’ll be opportunities to get coaching on your specific context, and for you to walk away with more confidence and competence in the skills you most want.

Please let me know soonest if you are interested, and can make these dates.

“It was a privilege to spend three days being coached by Kim and see behind the curtain of her magic. To learn from a master in any field is always a joy, and this workshop was no exception. Kim’s framework for how she thinks about holding the energy of a group has been a real eye opener for me, and given me many elements of facilitation to play with and make my own. Whatever route our future might take, the facilitator’s role in fostering creativity, collaboration and community action will doubtless be of great value..”

“The workshop offered me everything I was hoping for and more. Kim expertly guided us in and out of activities which provided a helpful mix of practice opportunities and the learning of tools that were new to me. Kim is an amazing facilitator. For anyone who recognises a pull towards facilitation skills in these times that we face, I would highly recommend attending this course.”
— Jessica Crawley
 
“Having participated in the Edge retreat I was really excited to look behind the veil and receive Kim’s wisdom around working with groups. The training provided a balance between tools, essential first principles of working with group dynamics, interventions, and state management. I’d recommend it as an empowering course – uniquely delivered within the implicit context of a collapse-aware group. No business as usual here!”

Wednesday Witness Club

Every other Wednesday starting at 7pm UK time on Zoom for 90 minutes

It can be tough to find places where we can share authentically about what's going on in our hearts and minds at these times.  We often go hungry for the depth of conversation that can be lacking. Many people say that it's like living in two different worlds - the 'normal' world where everybody continues to go about business as usual as though nothing is wrong, and the world that opens up for us as we wake up to the truth of the meta-crisis facing us.

These calls allow us to:

  • Witness and connect with our emotional responses to the meta-crisis we face

  • Be alongside others who dare begin to let it in, and to hold a safe space while unpacking how we feel

  • To explore what might be our own personal ‘thread’ to pick up – what is ours to do?

This is NOT about climate activism, coming up with plans or strategies - it's less about DOING and more about BEING fully human.  Less about discussion, more about feeling.

How we can support each other to tell the story of our lives – and maybe a story that we can be proud of  - no matter what happens?

Grief (if that is what we are feeling) isn’t supposed to be done alone.  If we block or numb our grief – we block our vitality.  We numb our joy.  But however, you're feeling, you will find a warm welcome at these calls.

There is no need to commit to coming each time - just whenever you feel the need to deeply connect with others, and to be fully heard and seen exactly as you are.
