I am a facilitator for FCE (Foundation for Community Encouragement) in Community Building Workshops. At a recent Facilitator Roundtable in Chicago I learned of the following training opportunity. I am sharing this information with you since I thought this would be of interest to members of this list. Albert Schinazi Indianapolis, IN Training Information Since 1984 FCE http://www.fce-community.org/index.shtml has been introducing people to the excitement and joy of connecting deeply with others. This training is designed for people who facilitate group dynamics within ongoing communities and will strengthen your capacity to deal effectively with the specific challenges that arise within those contexts. When- May 3 - 5, 2001, 9:00 am - 5:00pm Where - FCE Offices, Cascade Conference Room, 9750 3rd Ave, NE Suite #400, Seattle WA 89115 How to Register - Call 888-784-9001 for more information or to register by phone. What training includes: * An understanding of a basic framework to facilitate ongoing community meetings * An understanding of different decision-making styles to use with your groups * An ability to deal with difficult behaviors that show up in your meetings * An ability to balance the need to accomplish specific tasks with the need to listen deeply to one another and to what is wanting to emerge through the group * An ability to identify and work with elements of individual and group "shadow" that may get in the way of your group working effectively. Who are the Trainers: Ron Kertzner partners with individuals and organizations to create collaborative, learning communities. These communities foster an environment where: * individuals contribute their unique perspective while working together to achieve common goals (collaboration); * people increase their capacity to achieve the results they desire (learning); and * people are seen not only for what they can do but also for who they are (community). Ron's clients are from the public and private sector and during the past three years he has worked with members of the US House of Representatives interested in creating a more collaborative atmosphere for governance. He has also been involved with multi-party projects designed to create healthy communities and a sustainable environment. In the private sector, he created leadership programs for General Electric and Time-Warner. Barbara Coffman has 20 years of living in various forms of community, with thorough emergence in both the potential and shadows of living in a collective. The same sure sense of a more natural way to live and fulfillment for human beings through community took Barbara into the field of organizational development. "Work places are, after all, communities too" says Barbara. Barbara has helped people organize, dream, govern, heal, celebrate, worship, create, and learn, outside the parameters of business as usual. Barbara is passionate about new ranges of communication, self-reflection, group dialogue capacities, honed decision-making capabilities, and the "letting go practices" that are needed to live together in a mature way. Barbara lives in Ashland, Oregon with her husband in an intentional community. COST : $895 (scholarships available) Following is a letter from Sarah Jane Menato from FCE: I am writing to let you know about a three-day training to build and deepen the skills of people who facilitate group dynamics. FCE and Cohousing Resources are sponsoring the event here in Seattle. The training has been specifically designed to be of maximum value to people in the Cohousing arena. There is a resurgence in our society of a desire for, and interest in, community. However it is seems that the capacity for the actual experience of community has to be encouraged and supported for it to emerge. The art of connecting meaningfully to another human being is on the endangered species list along with other gifts that are essential for people to not just survive, but to thrive. Many people are looking for community and a place to belong, hoping to end a pervasive sense of isolation and live a more meaningful, connected life. Cohousing is one powerful manifestation of this. However, the process of taking a heart impulse (to live in community), and manifesting a physical project, (building homes) is complex and is not in itself assurance that the people involved will experience community when "move in" occurs. Building the experience of community requires an investment of time, energy and resources every bit as deliberate and intense as building the structure. The plumbing, electricity and spatial relationships of our human connectedness require a great deal of expertise!! The three-day training outlined in the enclosed flyer will benefit people involved in cohousing who are committed to being connected meaningfully and authentically to other human beings in an ongoing way. The training will strengthen your ability to listen deeply to another human being and also to be heard. Discovery of new and effective communication practices will be encouraged. Specific attention will also be given to the more effective use of consensus as a decision making model. Within the developing structure of a physical community, the capacity of each individual for effective communication and connectedness must be recognized as a critical factor in achieving the experience of community. A dual process of stewarding your emotional investment in cohousing, as well as your financial one, must be in place. Cohousing groups that disintegrate tend not to be able to identify and accept achievable goals because they lack the necessary group skills. Please seriously consider participating in this three-day event. It will be a rare opportunity to go to a deep level with substantial human beings who are committed to ensuring that the experience of community isn't lost to our society and world at large. It would be wonderful to have you join us. I hope to hear from you soon, best wishes, Sarah-Jane Menato sjmenato [at] fce-community.org Posted to Cohousing list by: Albert Schinazi Indianapolis, IN INTEGRATIVE SOLUTIONS Creating a successful world through communication, cooperation, collaboration and creative spirit.
