The Training Experience
You are invited to participate in a unique Online Dialogue Facilitation Training course, designed as a next step for those who have participated in dialogues in the past, or as a refresher to those who have previously participated in a facilitation training.
“Dominator culture has tried to keep us all afraid, to make us choose safety instead of risk, sameness instead of diversity. Moving through that fear, finding out what connects us, reveling in our differences; this is the process that brings us closer, that gives us a world of shared values, of meaningful community.”

What skills will you learn?
Participants in the Online Dialogue Facilitation Training course will have access to experiential training, resources and tools, connections to peers, and feedback on their facilitation skills, all to increase their capacity to:
- Promote equity and inclusion through dialogue
- Facilitate challenging conversations
- Engage openly with conflict to promote growth
- Support equitable and inclusive practices
How will the training be conducted?
The online trainings will include 8 weekly live group sessions using Zoom as well as recorded content to be viewed before each session.
Each 2 and 1/2-hour online training session will be highly interactive and will scaffold the development of knowledge and skills over the 8 sessions. It is, therefore, essential that all participants make every effort to be available for all 8 sessions.
The group size will be kept small in order to provide all participants with ample opportunities to participate, ask questions, and engage in group activities. Early applications are encouraged.
Space is limited
When is the training?
We are determining the next dates for our Fall 2021 training. Those will be announced in late summer.
What is the cost?
Cost: $1250
Early Bird Discount: $950 for those who apply/register early
No payment due until acceptance into course.
Scholarships considered.

Because you will become the leader we need. Because together we will become the leadership we collectively need." Jodie Tonita (from Adrienne Maree Brown's Emergent Strategy)
