SUMMARY:Facilitating Connection: Training for UUCC Group Leaders
DESCRIPTION:“Small groups are where transformation happens.”Rev. Randy Partain\n\n\n\nFacilitators do not make that transformation happen by themselves. They help create the conditions for it: a covenant people can use\, room for different voices\, careful listening\, and ways to respond when a group gets stuck. \n\n\n\nUUCC is offering this participatory training twice. Both sessions cover the same material. Choose the one that works for you. \n\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 20\, 3:00–7:30 p.m. Supper included.\n\n\n\nSaturday\, October 3\, 9:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Lunch included.\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Facilitating Connection. Please register by September 14 so we can plan the training sessions\, meals\, childcare\, and access support. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nThis training is for: \n\n\n\n\nPeople who currently lead or facilitate a UUCC group\n\n\n\nPeople interested in facilitating one of our new Chalice Circles\n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to develop facilitation skills for a future role at UUCC\n\n\n\n\nYou do not need previous facilitation experience to attend. If you are interested but unsure about taking on a facilitation role\, the training gives you a chance to learn\, practice\, and explore before deciding. Curiosity can open opportunities we didn’t know existed. \n\n\n\nWhat will we do?\n\n\n\nWe will experience some of the practices ourselves and then look at what a facilitator is paying attention to. Together\, we will work on: \n\n\n\n\nCreating a covenant made of mutual promises\n\n\n\nListening without immediately advising\, fixing\, or redirecting the conversation\n\n\n\nHelping more people participate\n\n\n\nResponding when one person dominates\, the group moves off track\, or someone makes a harmful comment\n\n\n\nKnowing when to handle something within the group and when to ask for support\n\n\n\n\nWe will try out brief responses to situations that arise in real groups rather than spending the day talking about facilitation in theory. \n\n\n\nWhy this matters\n\n\n\nFacilitating a UU group is a form of shared ministry. It is one of the places where we practice our values\, learn to live in covenant\, and help create a congregation where more people can participate and belong. \n\n\n\nHaving people with different levels of experience will strengthen the training. Current leaders can bring real situations and practices that have worked\, while newer facilitators can bring the questions they are still exploring. \n\n\n\nThe registration form includes space to share dietary needs and request childcare or other access support. \n\n\n\nChoose your training session and register here. Please register by September 14 so we can plan the training sessions\, meals\, childcare\, and access support. \n\n\n\nQuestions?
