The Art of Facilitation

The power of Inside Out technology combined with the authenticity, care, commitment, and skill of these expert facilitators is transformative. I now have experiential knowledge that allows me to recognise my blockages and turn that stopping power into presence for the person in front of me.
— Michael

““My experience in the Art of Facilitation was enlightening. The concepts that were presented were of great value not just for facilitating but also for personal use. Learning to access my own higher guidance and wisdom has been invaluable. I have been able to use these principles in my work as a therapist and also in my personal life. I’ve been sharing these gems with others as well. I highly recommend this course.”

Are you seeking to enhance your facilitation skills so that you can empower others with more skill, confidence and impact?

*

As a coach, therapist, or counsellor do you want to facilitate with more impact in and outside of the consulting room?

*

Do you want to integrate a more dynamic, embodied and integrative approach to facilitating people?

Engage your Innate Brilliance as a Facilitator.

At Primal Intelligence we believe that as facilitators, we can be safer, more impactful, and use less energy when we become more aware of our internal experience and follow, rather than trying to lead our client or group.

Instead of being hooked by our egos, we learn to get out of the way and allow what is needed to come through. We call this facilitating from the inside out.

Who is this workshop for?

We are dedicated to co-creating a safe, inclusive experiential learning environment that celebrates diversity. Our workshops are attended by:

Folks of all genders, identities and backgrounds

Therapists, coaches, trainers, counsellors and group facilitators

Participants in co-gender or gender-specific circles

Community and business leaders seeking to increase individual/collective impact

Beginner facilitators and facilitators with years of experience

Anybody else curious about facilitating individual and group processes

Irrespective of who you are and how you ended up here, this workshop will support you to:

Cultivate exceptional listening and tracking skills

Enrich your facilitation style

Engage your creativity and playfulness in the way you facilitate

Enhance your capacity to self-manage and self-regulate

Develop your capacity to create a safe container when facilitating

Be a servant leader

Learn how to listen deeply, and follow the person over the process

Allow the magic of your unique brilliance to come through when you are facilitating

“Being quiet, invisible, a step behind, respectful, in full surrender, and taking 100% responsibility for being present while the truth emerges…. is all evolutionary and at the cliff of awareness. This is real change. The world is ready. And the time is now.”

"The Art of Facilitation training was a powerful, slow, deep dive into the soft skills and metaskills of facilitation. I walked away with a deeper understanding of facilitation and more confidence in my abilities as a facilitator."

“This workshop breaks things down to the simplest and most fundamental level of what’s truly important when facilitating. I laughed harder than I had laughed in a long time; I was crying from stories that were shared. I was able to immediately apply the skills at my local men’s group as well as navigate emotional situations with my wife. My ability to drop into that presence was masterful.”

How it works.

The key to effective facilitation is mastering core facilitation skills. The Art of Facilitation workshop introduces participants to the basic and advanced facilitation skills they need to facilitate with confidence and impact.

It is essential that facilitators create safety and connection with the person(s) being facilitated. We teach the art and science of safe and meaningful relationships through the lens of our signature PAR process that draws on the insights of interpersonal neurobiology.

Real artistry comes when facilitators can follow rather than lead, and can listen to the subtle whispers of wisdom that emerge from something bigger than you or I. We support participants to learn how to listen and trust these downloads when they do occur.

This workshop has broadened my skill set and confidence in facilitating.Before this course, I was very nervous and unsure of myself in facilitating others. Now after having done the course, I have the confidence to take on the challenge. It’s something I can take into all parts of my life. Very happy I’ve done this course!

This experience goes so far beyond simply a "course". Full of experiential knowledge and empowering participants to grow in ways I could not have imagined ahead of attending. The depth of experience of the facilitators is matched by the care they bring. Transformational.

Michael

I learnt to be with a person deeply, to be present, aware and conscious of what is happening for the person and what is happening to myself. Being within and without at the same time supporting each other on a magic journey. For me, this is the essence of deep connection.
