The Facilitators’ Coaching Cohort
September 7th - November 26th
"WOW! this cohort was so potent. i got so much out of it that i'm still chewing on and will probably be working with for years... it was somehow both dense, intense, and light and joyful... and so so powerful."
- Lawrence Barriner, II
Consider joining the next iteration of our Coaching Cohort for Facilitators. Our first round was a great success!
Facilitation can be a lonely endeavor. Sometimes we get to work with clients who understand the value of hiring a pair of us. Or even a team. This is a great way to learn from each other. And to do better work together.
“The facilitator's cohort provided a hummingbird effect, unveiling ways to hover in mid-air, fly backwards, and upside down while functioning as an instrument for collective alchemy.
What's more, tailored coaching with Gibrán along with peer coaching revealed depths and layers, which worked in tandem with circles of trust to foster a powerful and transformative experience.”
- Shaundra Cunningham
Another way to learn is to participate in workshops offered by great teachers and master facilitators. This is certainly something I try to do so I can keep getting better at what I do.
But the fact is that it is not very easy to hone our craft. It’s not even easy to learn it in the first place. There are some good training efforts. But this really is an apprenticeship model. We learn from those who have been doing it for a long time. From working along with them. We learn this craft from each other.
I am often asked to mentor or support someone who is passionate about facilitation. And until now, I have not known quite how to do it.
This is why I'm excited to launch the 2nd round of our Coaching Cohort for Facilitators. Our first round was a beautiful success.
“If you're a facilitator out to shift our collective consciousness towards greater connection, I highly recommend this program to deepen into yourself and your unique practice. You with all your dreams, gifts, and growing edges will be held lovingly and fiercely to support you in stepping into more authentic and expansive expressions of facilitation within an intentionally woven community of other like-hearted practitioners.”
- Heddy Nam
This cohort is specifically for facilitators who already have experience facilitating. It is for people who facilitate spaces that demand depth, care, navigation and the skill to hold difficult conversations.
You will be asked to bring your cases and experience to bear.
It is a twelve week program. And you will commit 20hrs of your time in direct engagement with our process. This estimate does not include the time you devote to practice and preparation. Or the time to do the inner work necessary for anyone committed to hold groups of people through meaningful transformation.
Each participant will have five one-on-one coaching sessions with me.
The cohort will meet as a group for twelve consecutive weeks.
We start the week of September 7 and we close the week of November 26.
Group sessions will be at 1PM to 2PM East. Every week on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays, depending on your cohort.
Participants will also have three peer coaching sessions scheduled at your convenience.
The cost is $2500

Please share this offer with your favorite and most promising facilitators! It will be a good one.
Whatever you decide, we hope you keep turning yourself over to this craft. It is needed #inthesetimes.
