Dear Facilitators,
I will be traveling June 16-21, and may not respond to correspondence in a timely manner. Please be patient, but also feel free to send me notes with reminders, ideas, and projects in process that you are wanting to move forward. – Terry LePage

Embodying DAF in Action Together
If you couldn’t make the June 13 gathering to brainstorm about next steps we will take together for DAF, you can see the cool graphics and descriptions of our seven key areas here. We are all invited to choose one or more focus areas and begin to collaborate (not wait for direction from on high!) If you choose Take Action you can begin the process of joining other DAF folks in co-creating a needed part of our structure and offerings.
Facilitators Community of Practice
Stay tuned for events designated “Facilitators Community of Practice.” Or FCoP, because we need another acronym! These are events that allow us to support and learn from each other as facilitators, with DA in mind. All facilitators are invited. A regular monthly FCoP event is Deep Relating for Facilitators, which Nando and Katie will continue to host. Other FCoP events will include pilot runs of facilitated programs for the big DA group and for other DA spaces, and events that address special interests of our group. We welcome your input on what FCoP you would enjoy co-creating, and we urge you to be a part of this community by attending FCoP’s when you can.
Mentors!
Because of the above event, we are welcoming some new volunteers. Do you want to be a mentor to a facilitator new to DAF? Can you get them signed up and tell them about our different offerings? Do you need a mentor? Let me know!
In case you missed it, in May, Katie Carr shared:
1. A blog post and a facilitators’ practice development conversation about “Maplessness” that is part of Deep Adaptation.
2. Step by step instructions on video to How to Host Deep Adaptation Wisdom Circles.
These are the beginning of a series of occasional video resources Katie is planning to create for DAF. If you have an idea for another, let Katie know. Thank you Katie, well done!
